Not possible when your guild expects you to play for 4-6 hours in a row. It's not something that goes away within 5 minutes. Once the pain has set in, it's with me for the rest of the day. I can end up pushing a button 30,000 times in one raid.

I'd much rather be able to hold the button down, and have it "push" itself.

Find a different guild.

What class need to push a button twice per second? I know mage is a one-button class, but even there a cast takes 1.5s (?). Healers don't use same healing type or rank or target, and most other DPS classes and tanks have rotations.

I use a few macros for some of my abilities, that work best when mashed.

mashing buttons harder does not make them activate faster, hitting and breaking your keyboard is also not conducive to skilled play.

Its also very likely you are young by the way you post, you should not be spending 4-6 hours playing wow.

Lastly, your situation is so ambiguous that it leads me to believe that you are trying to break the game in some manner and infact not trying to hit the same button over and over, and for the life of me i cant imagine any skills holds the notion that it should be spammed over and over in under 1 second when the global cooldown of skills is 1.5 seconds (ithink)

I don't push the keyboard hard. I never said I push the keys hard. I said I push the keys fast. Did you not read my post?

I am not "young". I am 22. What gives you the impression that I am young? I don't see how you could infer that I am young based on the "way I post". Please stop getting personal, here. I am not asking for your opinion on how long I should be playing. Nor am I trying to "break the game", all I want is for someone to answer my question.

What makes you think I am trying to break the game? By wanting a "turbo button" to stop me from developing carpal tunnel? How is that breaking the game? I could replicate what I want to do by binding my entire numpad to that one ability, and then just palming it. But why would I do that if I could make a 3-line macro that means I can just hold the ability down.

The best way to get the highest DPS is to start mashing the keys shortly before they come off of cooldown. If you wait for the cooldown to fully come off before hitting the key, then you can miss out on up to 400ms of abilities. I should not have to compromise on my DPS because my hands are hurting.

Using any form of third-party software to execute some sort of an action is against the Terms of Use (https://en.nostalrius.org/terms-of-use) Such actions can be met with a permanent closure of the account. And it is therefore highly recommened to avoid using these.


There is nothing in that terms of use that suggests that the sort of macro I want to use is bannable. The closest thing there is, is "Using any means of botting (e.g. a program);". But I would not be botting. I would be at my computer, purposefully using abilities on my own accord. The only difference is that instead of having to continuously push the button, I would hold it.

Could I get a member of Nostalrius staff on this? According to the terms of use, it's not bannable, but I would just like to be sure.

Thanks.

Greetings!

In order for that macro to work, you'd have to be running a software in the background(a so called "third-party" software) using third-party softwares is against the Terms of Use. You are using a third-party software to perform an act.

Keep in mind a software is commonly refered to as a "program"

I checked the terms of use, and it mentions nothing generically about using third-party software. Only automation software (botting), and hacks that deliberately change game files, or affect the server.

If it is against the terms of use, would I be able to use hardware to do it, then? I can set macros on my keyboard.
