Some helpful macros for tanking with new AOEs
I can see I'm not the only WAR struggling with the new QoL improvements for tanks in 6.1, so I'd like to share some macros I just made while running my first few roulettes today.
The first one is used at the start of a pull for mob packs, and should be used in place of your standard multi-target opener. The only problem with this setup is it requires a 2nd macro, for use after the pull and the mobs are already together. For now I'm using a spare unused hotbar, but the idea is to ease myself into the new changes and drop the macros entirely.
Haven't had time to level the other tanks yet, so I assume they've had a way of doing it this WHOLE TIME that I've been missing :o While not the topic of this thread, any advice on this is appreciated regardless.
Okay, 'nuff rambling (sorry about that XD) on to the macros:
Like I said, this one is for starting the pull, while mobs are generally all spread out and not grouped yet. I suppose it can also work for situations where a party member accidentally rips a mob away from the pack:
/ac "Overpower"
/deny
/s <Overpower> ? <Really?> thanks i hate it <No thanks> <I already have one>
/micon "Overpower"
2nd macro is for after the pull, keeping everyone together:
/ac "Overpower"
/disappointed
/s Sorry that missed, <Overpower> sucks now
/micon "Overpower"
