new tank here, some questions

Hi may I know what is the macro to target 1,2 and 3 with shield lob? Thanks!

/micon "Shield Lob"
/ac "Shield Lob" <t>
/mk Target <t>

It is a bad macro and you should not use it. If you need to SL to regain a mob that is running from you people will get confused about what mob you want them to attack. Better just to make a macro that only marks.

/mk Target <t>

Go to the Party tab and click on Signs to see all the ones available

Personally i just mark the next mob with a 1. When the current number 1 is at 10 to 20% health i set the 1 to the next target. DPS don't really need a number 2, 3 and 4, they usually attack a single target, or all at once. This way you don't even need a macro, you can just put the symbol for marking on your hotbar. And it allows you to adapt to the way the fight goes easier (If you mark 1, 2 and 3 in the beginning and for some reason now you want to kill number 3 before number 2 this can get confusing. If there is just a single 1 on the next target this poses no problem at all).

Agreed, but only if you don't have a button for SL and a button to mark with SL. I have them separate, so one to mark and grab aggro and the other to just shield lob. Naryoril, I agree, and many times, I only mark 1. Problem is this - I used to just mark targets. Then everyone is speed running and 1/2 the people don't follow the marks anyway. So then I macro'd the mark to a SL (Tomahawk for my MRD) so that I could start the fight and mark at the same time. When I do the first hit to the next guy, I can hit with the macro and bang, that's #2. That can be at the beginning or in the middle of the fight. Or not at all. When people aren't following the marks, screw it. Not worth the effort.
