Managing channelling?
Hey,
Anybody figured out a way to manage channeled abilities as part of a rotation?
They work fine by themselves, but if you include them in a larger keymap rotation, they either get interrupted by your other skills or, if you use "do not advance", if forces the rotation to do nothing for 3 seconds if the ability was on cooldown.
Using Inquisitor as an example (seems like everybody has a Cleric group), how are you managing Nysyr's Rebuke?
The rotation is something like -
Scourge (15s DoT)
Vex (15s DoT)
Sanction Heretic (Instant Nuke +DoT, 15s CD)
Bolt of Depravity (on 5 stacks of LDC)
Nysyr's Rebuke when available (3s channel, 60s CD)
Bolt of Retribution (1.5s cast filler)
The rest of the rotation is simple to keymap. I just can't figure out how to manage Nysyr's Rebuke without either interrupting the channel with the next step or pausing the rotation for 3, resulting in a DPS loss if the ability was on cooldown.
Any ideas?
-- Edit
Well, I figured out that if you macro Nysyr's with Sanction/Bolt
#show Nysyr's Rebuke
suppressmacrofailures
interact
cast Sanction Heretic
cast Nysyr's Rebuke
cast Bolt of Retribution
It casts on cooldown and gets 2 ticks off due to the GCD delaying the next spell. Not ideal losing a tick of Nysyr's, but better than the alternatives I've been able to find.
Though, it just occurred to me that once my Cleric group is 58+, this solution won't work since your level 58 buff decreases GCD to 1 second.

Got it. I created an Action Target Group called "Inquisitors CD". The ATG only casts Fanaticism & Nysyr's and has a timer set to leave group after 3 seconds.
I hit a hotkey, they join group, cast Fanatacism / Nysyr's and then leave group (back to their normal rotation group) immediately after channel. Requires an extra keypress every 60 seconds, but it's not hard to remember if you create a small viewer window so you can see the Nysyr's cooldown from every window.
I'll leave the thread here incase anyone else has a similar issue. ATG timers are awesome
