Justin mentioned an addon called “poisonswapper” on curse.com which does most of this for you. Worth a look perhaps?

Hit this one when you log on (initialization macro)

/run ws=CreateFrame(“FRAME”,”WS”)u=UseEquipmentSet function g()d=nil for i=1,40 do n,_,_,s,_,_,x,c=UnitDebuff(“target”,i)if n==”Deadly Poison IX” and c==”player” then d=(x-GetTime()>5 and s==5) end end if d then u(“IP”) else u(“DP”) end end

This turns weapon swapping on/off

/run if not aso then ws:RegisterEvent(“UNIT_COMBAT”)ws:SetScript(“OnEvent”,g)DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage (“Autoswap On”)aso=true else ws:UnregisterEvent(“UNIT_COMBAT”)DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(“Autoswap Off”)aso=nil end

You’ll need 2 item sets in the blizzard itemrack, one named IP and one named DP.

For anyone that can’t read the code, here is what it does:
- You target something that is in combat that doesn’t have a 5 stack of your deadly poison, it swaps to the DP set
- When you hit 5 stacks of deadly poison, it’ll swap to the IP set
- When DP has 5 seconds remaining, it’ll swap back to the DP set
- When DP is refreshed, it’ll swap back to the IP set

You have to do nothing. The only thing on your end is the annoying GCD’s caused by the swaps.

Re: Cambria’s post – you’d just add the Wound poison to the dagger in your bag and put the name of the dagger (Webbed Death) in the place of the [Dagger with deadly poison] or whatever.

The part of the macro that says (dagger with wound poison), do you actually write this or would you say apply some wound poison to let’s say webbed death and write (webbed death ) in yh macro. Sorry I’m aacro noob and need some advice! Thank you

I’ve been using something like this on fights like Faction Champs and Icehowl so that I can use the helpful stuff (like Wound/Mind Numbing/Crippling) but only some of the time and Deadly the rest of the time – and Anesthetic on Icehowl when guildies don’t get out of the way. Good thought on the extra dps tho, didn’t consider using it for that but it makes a lot of sense…especially long fights when a different poison used to Shiv would be a nice thing to have, but Deadly is too important to our dps.

if you are using 2 of the same weapon, you don’t really even need the second line

Nice post, although you did beat me to it. lol.
Personally I hope Blizz figures out a way to stop this. It is a dps upgrade true. But, it is so clunky and obviously unintended. I’ll collect my thoughts on it for later I suppose.

Enjoy the blog. Keep it up.
