GRIP - EMS questions and answers

Is EMS free?

Yes. Every feature is in the free download. EMS has no paid tier, no licence key and no account. There is a PayPal link for anyone who wants to chip in, and it changes nothing about what you get.

Does a macro sequencer break Blizzard's rules?

EMS is an addon, and it works inside the limits the game sets for every addon. One press of your key sends one step. EMS cannot press a key for you. In combat the game does not let any addon choose spells from your procs, buffs or cooldowns, and EMS is no exception. What Blizzard forbids is software or hardware outside the game that sends several actions from one key press, such as a key repeater. EMS does not do that and does not need it.

Which game versions does EMS support?

World of Warcraft Retail from Midnight 12.0.1 to 12.1.5, and WoW Forever 1.60.1. The same download covers both.

Does EMS work on Classic?

No. EMS supports Retail and WoW Forever. A Classic version is the request we hear most, and it is not built yet.

How is EMS different from Blizzard's Single-Button Assistant?

The Single-Button Assistant is part of the game and casts from a rotation Blizzard chose for your spec. EMS runs the sequence you wrote or imported, so you decide what is in it and in what order. You can use either one, or both on different keys.

Where do I get sequences?

Write your own in the editor, import one from lazygrip.net, or take one from a player near you with /gems browse.

Can I bring my sequences from GSE?

Yes. EMS reads GSE sequences in game and from export strings. How the import works.

Which languages does EMS come in?

Eleven: English, German, French, Spanish (Spain and Mexico), Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional).

How do I report a bug or ask for a feature?

In the GRIP Discord. Say what you pressed and what happened, and paste the error if the addon showed one.
