AOE Click into queued @cursor functionality

Hey I’m looking for a handsfree single button that will always start with a maxrank Flamestrike, and when spammed after the initial cast it will try to queue a Flamestrike 1 rank below that.

I’ve made some prototypes like (and do note I’m not 60 yet on the mage)

/castsequence reset=4 Flamestrike(Rank 4), Attack
/cast [harm,exists,@cursor] Flamestrike(Rank 3)

Having the flaw of requiring to target yourself, ruining default behavior.

Also tinkered a bit with Grounded addon macros (makes a push action and a release action on a key) but that wasn’t QoL friendly either.

Gonna start tinkering with /changeactionbar + [bar:1] / [bar:2] setups now, but was just wondering if I missed something obvious.

#showtooltip
/castsequence [@cursor,combat] [] reset=4 Flamestrike(Rank 4), Flamestrike(Rank 3),Flamestrike(Rank 3),Flamestrike(Rank 3),Flamestrike(Rank 3),Flamestrike(Rank 3),Flamestrike(Rank 3),Flamestrike(Rank 3),Flamestrike(Rank 3),Flamestrike(Rank 3)

This makes the initial cast also quickcast, I want the first one to be aimed manually, require a click to confirm the cast like standard AOE. And followup inputs from the same button should just attempt to queue a downrank using [@cursor], since my cursor should already be aimed in an optimal position from the standard aiming.

EDIT: Essentially and I know this is the wrong syntax, I want some form of:

/castsequence reset=4 Flamestrike(Rank 4), [@cursor] Flamestrike(Rank 3)

And a non-castsequence way of doing that would be ideal as well, as I think you might be prone to losing miniscule GCD time with castsequences rather than spamming and having a followup spell be queued and ready 0.5sec before the first cast finishes.

For reference Classic WoW’s Elemental Mastery batching double crit trick will actually stop working if a spell queue wasn’t involved in it, signifying a bit of GCD loss.

Tweaked my previous macro so if you’re not in combat it’ll show the reticle. You could also add a modifier to force the reticle to display.

Well after a buttload of tinkering days ago, sadly the “cleanest” in-combat usable setup I could think of was doing an actionbar latch for purely flamestrike, with a copied actionbar 2 where the only difference is flamestrike(Rank 3)

This sadly required me to put the command “/changeactionbar [bar:2] 1” on pretty much every standard spell, in order to give myself a reliable way to reset.

I suppose GSE could maybe give a cleaner way to perform this, because to my knowledge GSE and making multi actionbar page flipping setups work in similar ways… Though I hear people say GSE is bannable.

It’s not. Blizz breaks addons that do things they don’t like. My best guess with regards to GSE is that they haven’t broken it due to accessibility reasons but who knows what’s gonna happen in Midnight.
