Hi
#showtooltip
/castsequence Arcane Barrage;reset=combat Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Missile
You need to put the Barrage first, or it will never see it. And you will want to reset on combat so you can start stacking in the next fight.

You can also have Reset=target, so it resets every time u target something else.
i would assume u would want to reset your rotation on a new target.

@Mikelhealz: No he would not. AB stacks are on the caster, not the target.

I think the final, best version of this would be:
#showtooltip
/castsequence Arcane Barrage; reset=combat/alt Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Missile
Because, if you cast ABar, you're blowing your AB stack (for whatever reason), so you will need to re-stack your AB. Now, the question is, does the
block the alt reset condition from getting to the second clause, or does the reset detection apply to the whole
/castsequence
. If it doesn't, the previous one is fine. Would be neat if this worked, though.

@pelf: A quick look at the coding says no.

Too bad. That would be very sneaky. I guess you could ... hmm ...
Foiled.

Reset conditions are checked when they occur, not when the macro is activated, so reset=alt will reset as soon as you hit the alt key, before you click on the macro.
Which would mean your sequence would reset as soon as you use alt for any OTHER macro, too.

Well, one of you is right. I wonder which.

You could put a castsequence before the main one too with:
/castsequence Presence of mind,Arcane Power
to take advantage of them when they're up to pour on the DPS a bit faster. They're both off the GCD so that should work.

@RedwoodElf: You are wrong. Modifier condition for reset are upon macro activation, not modifier key press.
Like
#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=alt Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Missile
If you are at Arcane Missile turn, if you hold alt, it will show up Arcane Blast, but if you release alt key without using the macro, it will go back to Arcane Missile
but pelf macro doesnt work either.
the modifier reset condition also has to happen into the right castsequence, but from the first sequence block the 2nd sequence (but this is only true for modifier reset condition, target/combat/timer will still work)

Yeah, as HighFive said about the blocking. Pity.

Oh this is what his post meant... Thought it was just that you made some error in the coding and at first sight it was visible :P

Yeah, I was talking about Blizzard's implementation of the castsequence. Perhaps I should've worded it differently.

Eh, he speaks French. You can only expect so much :).

You've got all the time left until your body stops working. Get on it :).
