WAR 4.0

A reason to use fracture.

More defensive options. We really only have one reliable damage reduction cooldown, Vengeance. Foresight only works on physical, and Raw Intuition only works on things that can be parried. Inner beast is fine, but you'd have to sit on 5 stacks for a while for tankbusters, until you're extremely familiar with the timings for a fight.

Fell Cleave/Inner Beast and Steel Cyclone/Decimate be the same damn button. It's a waste of two spots on my bar at all times, since I don't want to make a clunky macro to deal with it.

A high potency combo I could use instead of BB. Maybe off of Maim, along with SP and SE, but has just straight damage. I ride my PLD's MT's threat pretty hard, and pull it sometimes when just trying to do my highest DPS combo.

War is in a good place right now though, I'm happy with how it works. (Also happy that I play exactly the same at 60 as I do at 50, other then sometimes being in a different stance now).

Macro
/ac "Fell Cleave" <t>
/ac "Inner Beast" <t>

If you are in Deliverance, Fell cleave will go off. If you are in Defiance, Fell Cleave will be ignored and Inner Beast will go off. You're welcome #unclunky

You get an error message when using that either way, don't you? That kind of annoys me.

And sometimes, macros just don't seem to work. My PLD partner had his provoke macro not actually have the ability go off after saying something in chat enough times, to where I don't want to use a macro for anything that could actually be important to battle. Thanks though.

Chat macros can do that, that's why I leave the line out. With this macro, and the same can be made for SC/Decimate, you'll only see the error message if you're in Defiance due to FC not going off. You can filter out system messages in your chat log to get around this also. Believ me when I say this is not clunky as I use it every 15 seconds when in combat.

This is the perfect solution to your problem. Since you can only use the skills in their corresponding stances, you can save a couple of hotbar slots if you use macros to swap them in and out. The WAR stances are off the GCD so you don't have to worry about the macros slowing down your rotation either.

Defiance:
/micon "Defiance"
/ac "Defiance" <me>
/hotbar action "Inner Beast" # #
/hotbar action "Steel Cyclone" # #
Deliverance:
/micon "Deliverance"
/ac "Deliverance" <me>
/hotbar action "Fell Cleave" # #
/hotbar action "Decimate" # #

The two # in the /hotbar commands correspond to the hotbar and slot where you want to put the skill. So, putting "1 10" will set the skill to hotbar 1, slot 10.

.

You should just use the macro that swaps out the moves when you switch stances, that way its always on the same button ( and you can Queue the attack it since it will be the base skill and not a macro)
