/stopcasting

[PapaSmurf]

What about smite?

I've stopped using a /stopcasting macro with Smite because of the talent Surge of Light. (For non-priests, Surge of Light is a proc that gives you an instant cast on your next Smite.) It plays havok on my timing so I've gotten lazy and returned to spamming my smite macro. It just became difficult to notice when it procced to take advantage of it.

Is there something out there that will help with timing which is inconsistent? I'm thinking of some kind of indicator that I can begin casting again. I've heard talk of a global cooldown monitor, but sometimes my next cast is governed by the GCD, and sometimes by the 2 second cast time and latency.

Quartz will definitely help here because it's global cooldown timer sits right on top of the cast bar. Just one place to look. In addition I've found the SCT helps me a lot with Nature's Grace Procs. The damage gets calculated when you cast the spell not when it hits, but if you're relying on the crit damage bonus to tell you that it's hit it will be too late. For me, SCT will tell me the NG procs immediately when I cast it so I can plan ahead. If I'm spamming Wrath this isn't an issue because I'm GCD limited anyways, but sometimes I like to throw in a starfire after NG procs.
