Paldin macros

None of these comments are intended to offend.

1) FoF+Fast Blade = great idea. Most fight you will get to start with FoF, which is fantastic. The best way to set that macro up is:

/micon "Fast Blade"
/ac "Fight or Flight" <me>
/ac "Fast Blade" <t>

This will always try to use FoF first, if its up, it will use it, if its down, it will fast blade, just make sure you spam fast blade as you run into a boss or targets so you aren't stuck in an animation cool down when your BLM's first fire hits : D. I actually add /ac "Bloodbath" <me> as my second line of that macro so I am using blood bath when my damage is at its highest.

2) Noooo!!! Put rampart as a separate ability on your bar so you can use it when you would like. I understand it hasn't been a big deal yet (as you are a fresh 50), but you will need to learn to rotate your Cool Downs as you gear up and do more challenging content. On trash pulls, just use it in between enmity generation and learn to weave it in. You DO NOT want to get caught in a situation where you REALLY wish you had Rampart, and its down. I recommend Rampart, Sentinel, and Hallowed Ground all have their own slots on your bar, I macro all my other CDs (Conval, Foresight, Bulwark, Awareness, etc) into another macro and just burn them all when I am in trouble and have nothing else good up.

3) I would caution against this as well, there will be times later on when you will want to use Provoke without being locked into using shield lob immediately after. Automating all of this stuff I think is over-simplifying a class that can be fantastically proactive when played intelligently - I feel like you may be handcuffing yourself from learning some subtleties that can make you a great tank!
