[Guide] Paladin Tanking Compendium 2.0.1

IV. Macros

These are purely to lower the overhead required to play the job and to allow more overall survivability. These are by no means required to play but can be extremely helpful.

To get rid of chat log spam:

1. Navigate Character configuration option menu
2. Click the Log Windows Settings icon on the left pane
3. Select the desired log you would like to filter
4. Click the Announcements tab
5. Uncheck "Error Messages"
6. Apply then close all dialogs

Note: Currently I do not think there is a way to get rid of the “Not yet ready.” spam at the top of your screen.

Please note that when using copy and paste, BBcode translates the quotes into double apostrophes, so you must manually change them in game.

*I hope to have found all of the BBcode mis-translations, please let me know if I missed any

Marking:
/marking attack1 <t>
/ac "Shield Lob" <t>
Use case: Quickly mark the target while pulling.

Fast Blade:
/macroicon "Fast Blade"
/ac "Fight or Flight" <me>
/ac Bloodbath <me>
/ac "Mercy Stroke" <t>
/ac "Fast Blade" <t>
Use case: To keep Fight or Flight on cool down thus upping your enmity overall. Keep Bloodbath on cooldown to add extra healing over the course of the fight. To add an extra non GCD attack during the end of a battle. Should all variables be satisfied it will then Fast Blade.

Provoke:
/macroicon Provoke
/ac Provoke <t>
/ac "Rage of Halone" <t>
/ac "Shield Lob" <t>
Use case: Only use this when you do not have aggro and should. This will shoot you to the top of the enmity list (+1 enmity point above #2 on the list), then depending on if the mob is at range or in melee distance it will automatically Rage of Halone or Shield Lob. This will reset your combo progress so use this carefully if at all.

Circle of Scorn:
/macroicon "Circle of Scorn"
/ac "Circle of Scorn" <me>
/ac Flash <me>
Use case: This is to create as much AOE enmity in the smallest amount of time. Since Circle of Scorn does not invoke the GCD it will appear that you Circle of Scorn and Flash at the same time. This is also a good way to Flash more often should you have trouble keeping Blind up.

Cover:
/macroicon Cover
/ac Cover <mo>
/ac Cover <tt>
/ac Cover <t>
Use case: This allows you the option to cast Cover using mouse-over for those that leverage the Party frames, while not losing the ability to also click on a target and cast the ability.

Cure:
/macroicon Cure
/ac Cure <mo>
/ac Cure <t>
/ac Cure <me>
Use case: This allows you the option to cast Cure using mouseover for those that leverage the Party frames, while not losing the ability to also click on a target and cast the ability. If you are targeting an enemy target it will cast Cure on you.

Stoneskin:
/macroicon Stoneskin
/ac Stoneskin <mo>
/ac Stoneskin <t>
/ac Stoneskin <me>
Use case: This allows you the option to cast Stoneskin using mouseover for those that leverage the Party frames, while not losing the ability to also click on a target and cast the ability. If you are targeting an enemy target it will cast Stoneskin on you.

Miscellaneous Macro Commands
/p Hallowed Ground Activated! 10s of God Mode <hp> <hpp>
Use case: This casts Hallowed Ground and informs the desired chat channel and healers of your invulnerability status and prints your current hp values and hp percentage.

/recast "Fight or Flight"
Use case: This outputs the remaining time on a cooldown into chat.
