That happens occasionally but after a while you can tell what the actual tick is.

Am I missing something? The whole point of canni dance is to combine the casting of canni with your mana regen ticks. Does no good if you're chopping your ticks with a cast.

You want to watch your ticks and do canni in between.

No you're right. But I don't have the patience to time it and wait. And I catch the mana tick while sitting a lot anyway. It's an automatic thing I do without thinking. Shaman is one of the most button-mashing intensive classed already without having to watch my manabar and wait for ticks.

Here is how I canni-dance:

Canni macro is my 3rd hotkey and reads as follows:
/cast 3
/pause 25
/sit

I just hit my canni macro, without watching ticks. Sometimes I fizzle, but I have enough time before /sit that I can Alt+3 and cast Canni before I sit even with a fizzle.

Can you?

/cast 3
/cast 3
/pause 25
/sit

I do this on some cleric heal macros and the 2nd cast will catch if the 1st one fizzles, otherwise you will get a txt error saying you are busy and can ignore it.

You should look into charming, at 24 shamans get charm animal and it really makes soloing shaman not a nightmare. I think South Karana is a great place to start. Either keep your pet for long term or get a pet knock a mob or two down to 5-10% then break with invis and kill them all. Just have to experiment a bit to get it down.

(others may have a better way of doing it)

Cannibalize is my 3rd spell slot.

Canni macro is my 3rd hotkey and reads as follows:
/cast 3
/pause 25
/sit

I just hit my canni macro, without watching ticks. Sometimes I fizzle, but I have enough time before /sit that I can Alt+3 and cast Canni before I sit even with a fizzle.

Note this time works for Canni 3...YMMV.

Ive been trying to mess with this to get it to work, but so far nothing Yet..Doesnt matter how I write up a macro, my fatass wont sit unless I literally hit the button to sit. Am I doing something wrong?

Try it with the pause before the cast on the same line. Like this:


/pause 25, /cast 3
/sit

until 34- dump your mana pool into mobs as fast as you can, then med to full.

I am saying that efficiency is not going to be what matters until you can do multiple root rots at a time. Get a 2 hander, crush stuff in its face and dump your mana pool til you aint got mana. Then hide in a corner to full and do it again.
