1 Quick start (everyone)

Do these things the first time (easiest path):

1. Tap + New (or + ST+AoE pack on the home list).
2. Pick your class, spec, and character level (80-90).
3. Choose Method ST + AoE pack - creates two sequences (bosses + packs). Spells you can't unlock yet are left out.
4. Optional: turn on an Easy helper switch (auto-attack, Hold Ctrl = interrupt). Tap again to turn Off.
5. Tap green Export to addon -> Copy or Share (or scan the QR on PC).
6. In WoW: type /gse -> Import -> paste -> keybind. Repeat for your AoE sequence on a second key.

2 ST + AoE packs (why two buttons?)

One mash list can't be perfect for both a single boss and a big trash pack. Casual players usually bind two keys:

• Single target (ST) - bosses and tough elites
• AoE / packs - lots of enemies

Use + ST+AoE pack or Duplicate as AoE in the editor. Tag each sequence with the role chips (Single target / AoE / Hybrid / Other). Pack AoE lists push multi-target spells first (and use dedicated pack orders when a spec has them). Talent import codes all come from one Method loadout table for every spec.

3 Easy helpers (On / Off switches)

Sequence addons do not "see" procs the way a combat bot would. The simple workaround: hold Ctrl or Shift for interrupts and defensives. Each helper is a clear On / Off switch - tap once to turn on, tap again to turn off and remove the line.

• Auto-attack / Re-target - comfort lines on KeyPress
• Hold Ctrl = interrupt - class kick while Ctrl is held
• Hold Shift = defensive - common defensive while Shift is held

These live under Easy helpers on the editor (no need to open Advanced). Green switch + On label means that helper is active for this sequence.

4 Trinkets, boots, belt (gear /use)

Don't pick named trinkets or engineering items. SpellSmasher uses equipment slots so whatever you wear works:

• Use top trinket -> /use 13
• Use bottom trinket -> /use 14
• Use boots -> /use 8 (e.g. Nitro Boosts)
• Use belt -> /use 6
• Use gloves -> /use 10
• Use cloak / main hand / off hand -> slots 15 / 16 / 17
• Use Healthstone -> /use Healthstone (bag item by name)

Find these in the spell picker on every class (same list as Auto Attack / Stopcasting).

5 The big buttons under your spells

Rebuild from Method.gg vs SpellSmasher

Two full rebuilds rewrite your spell list and apply the Method talent package for this class/spec:

• Rebuild from Method.gg - guide-style mash order (Method-adapted for one button).
• Rebuild from SpellSmasher - CD-aware Engine mash for every spec: long cooldowns in a short Seq burst band (researched order), mid-CDs and spenders before builders, prep buffs as Once, kicks/panic walls/cleanses stripped for Easy helpers, movement demoted on ST and more useful on AoE. Still uses Method talent loadouts.

Engine uses approximate ability cooldowns for ordering a fixed mash list. It is not a live combat sim and does not replace Method for manual priority play.

Rebuild details

What it does in plain English: throws away your current spell order and puts in a ready-made one-button list for your class/spec (based on Method-style guides stored in the app).

• Use this when you want "just give me a good starting list."
• It also fills talent info when we have it for that spec.
• If you had weird extra spells, some may stay at the bottom.

Fill missing Method spells

What it does: keeps your order. Only adds Method-rotation spells that are still missing.

• Good when you already built a list and just want to top it off.
• Does not add every talent you could cast (no random utility dump).

Duplicate as AoE

What it does: copies the current list into a second sequence tagged for packs, and nudges multi-target-ish spells earlier.

Reset whole sequence

What it does: empties all spells, variables, and talent package stuff.

• Keeps: name, class, spec.
• Asks you to confirm first so you don't wipe by accident.

6 Spell tags: Once | Order | Prio

Every spell has a small colored tag. Tap it to change how your sequence addon should treat that spell when you mash your key. Think of your list as three kinds of "lanes."

Most people put a short Order opener, then a long Prio main list. If you're confused, leave everything on Prio and rebuild from Method - you'll be fine.

Use the ^ v arrows to move spells up or down. Higher on a Prio list = tried first.

7 Advanced options - what is this box?

On the edit screen, scroll down until you see a line that says Advanced options. Tap that line to open it (like opening a drawer).

You can ignore Advanced forever if you only want: pick class -> rebuild -> export to addon.

Open Advanced when you want more control over:

• Talent trees (like Wowhead)
• Pasting a talent code from the game
• Scanning which spells need talents
• How many times loops run
• Optional extra macro variables
• Other export formats

8 Advanced: Talent tree (explained for newbies)

Where to open it

1. Edit a sequence.
2. Open Advanced options.
3. Tap Open tree.

What you're looking at

Three tabs at the top of the tree:

• Class - shared talents for the whole class (e.g. all Mages).
• Spec - talents only for your specialization (e.g. Arcane).
• Hero - the small "hero path" tree (pick one path, not both).

Points (the counters)

At max level (90) you have the full budgets (same idea as in WoW):

• Class 34 points max
• Spec 34 points max
• Hero 13 points max

In the talent tree sheet, use the Level dropdown (80-90). Lower levels have fewer points (you gain 10 points from 81->90: +3 Class, +4 Spec, +3 Hero). Changing level trims any overspent picks.

Method.gg rebuild / Fill missing also uses your sequence's character level: talent-gated Method spells you can't unlock yet (not enough points, gates, or Apex before 81) are skipped and listed in the summary. Core abilities with no talent node stay in the list.

Each talent costs points. Many cost 1. Some cost 2 ranks (shown like 0/2). Big Apex ones can be 0/4.

The little badge on a talent shows current ranks / max ranks | cost. Example: 0/1 | 1pt means empty, costs one point.

Gates - "why is the bottom grey?"

On Class and Spec trees, Blizzard locks lower rows until you've spent enough points higher up - not just 1 point. You'll see a gold bar like:

• Need 8 points before the middle section opens
• Need 20 points on Spec (or 20/23 on Class) before the bottom opens

Multi-rank talents count every rank toward that total (a full 2-rank talent = 2 points toward the gate). Apex (the big 4-rank Spec talent) also needs character level 81+ and those 20 Spec points spent first.

Newbie tip: spend points in the top open section first. When the bar turns green / "Unlocked," the next section is ready. Hero trees unlock by parent links, not point gates.

Hero tree is different

Hero talents usually do not use those 8/20 point bars. Instead, you unlock lower talents by picking the talent connected above them (like climbing a ladder - step on the rung above first).

• Pick one hero path (e.g. Spellslinger or Sunfury - not both).
• Start at the top talent of that path.
• Work downward; grey talents need a parent picked first.

Choice nodes (A or B)

Some talents are a fork in the road: two names, you pick one. You cannot take both. The app shows them as exclusive choices.

Buttons inside the tree

• Reset - clear your picks on this tree state (start over selecting).
• Best for my spells - tries to pick talents that match the spells in your sequence.
• Save & add spells - saves talent choices. Only adds Method-rotation spells if something's missing (not every castable talent).

9 Advanced: Talent code from the game

In Advanced you'll see a box: Talent code from the game (optional).

What is that code? In WoW you can export your talent loadout as a long string of letters. Paste that string into this box so your export can carry the same talents with your sequence.

How to get the code (in WoW)

1. Open your talent window (default key is often N).
2. Find your loadout / talent set.
3. Use Export (or similar) and copy the text.
4. Come back to SpellSmasher -> Advanced -> paste into the talent code box.
5. Tap Save, then Export to addon again.

If the box only shows a short "tip" sentence, that's a placeholder - replace it with a real export when you have one.

10 Advanced: Talent scan

Scan only looks at the spells in your list and reports which ones are "normal baseline" vs "probably need a talent."

• It does not change your spell list by itself.
• Useful if you're wondering "why don't I have this spell in game?" -> often a talent.
• Results show in the panel under Talent scan.

New players: if Scan says a spell is talent-gated, open the talent tree (or Method guide) and make sure you actually took that talent in WoW.

11 Advanced: Sequential / Priority loop times

Two number boxes:

• Sequential loop times - how many times the "Order" block should cycle before moving on (usually leave at 1).
• Priority loop times - how the main mash block loops (usually leave at 1 unless you know you want something special).

12 Advanced: Extra macro variables

Variables are extra macro lines some sequence addons can run (for example when you press or release a key). Most people never need them.

When would I use this?

• You saw a guide that says "put this on KeyPress."
• You want startattack / focus macros glued to the sequence.

How to add one

1. Advanced -> + Var.
2. Pick a preset (like KeyPress) or type a custom name.
3. Put the macro text in the box.
4. Save.

13 Advanced: More export formats

The green Export to addon button is what you want 99% of the time.

More export formats... opens a sheet with tabs (same names as in the app):

• Addon string - the main export code (often starts with !GSE3!). This is what you paste into your sequence addon's Import in WoW.
• Talents - talent plan / loadout text.
• Spell list - plain list of your steps.
• Macros - each step's macro lines.
• Help - short import reminder.

Tap Copy on that sheet to copy whatever tab you're viewing.

After a successful Copy of the addon string, SpellSmasher shows a short In WoW next checklist (open GSE, Import, keybind, talents, test).

Phone Import (home screen) is the other direction: paste a !GSE3! string into SpellSmasher from a friend or Wago.

14 Advanced: Notes

The Notes box is only for you - reminders like "use this for M+" or "swap defensives on tyrannical." Notes do not change combat. Optional.

15 Import into WoW - step by step

1. Install a sequence / macro compiler addon on your PC (many players use a popular CurseForge addon people call GSE - that addon is third-party and not part of this app).
2. Log into WoW with the character you play.
3. On your phone, open your sequence and tap Export to addon. Use Copy, Share, or the QR code to get the string onto your PC.
4. In game, open that addon's window (one common slash command is /gse).
5. Find Import.
6. Paste the whole string (it often starts with !GSE3!).
7. Confirm import. Open the sequence and bind a key (same as binding any ability).
8. In combat, hold or mash that key. The addon walks your list.

16 Put SpellSmasher on your iPhone home screen

1. Open the site in Safari (not only Chrome - Safari is best for "Add to Home Screen").
2. Tap the Share icon.
3. Tap Add to Home Screen.
4. Name it "SpellSmasher" -> Add.
5. Open it from your home screen like an app.

Your sequences save on this device (browser storage). Use home Backup to download a JSON of the whole list, and Restore to load it later (merge or replace). If you clear Safari/Chrome website data, sequences can disappear - keep a Backup of anything important.

17 Common problems (and easy fixes)

18 Cheat sheet

• New player path: + ST+AoE pack -> class/spec/level -> Export to addon (both sequences) -> paste in WoW (/gse Import) -> bind two keys.
• One button only: + New -> Method starter -> Export to addon.
• Skip Advanced until that works.
• Prio = main mash list. Order = fixed opener. Once = fire and move on.
• Fill missing Method spells adds Method rotation spells you lack (keeps your order). Rebuild replaces the whole list.
• Addon string = the !GSE3! export tab (what the game addon Imports).
• Talent tree = optional helper; real game export is best for perfect talents.
• Not a bot - you still press a key; your sequence addon chooses which spell from your list.
