Thread: [Guide] Paladin Tanking Compendium 2.0.1

Bump.

Great thread!

As a PS3 player, I'll need to look into adding some of those macros. Space on my hotbar is rapidly filling up as I gain all of my cross-class abilities.

At the very least, I will macro Bloodbath and Fight or Flight with Cross Slash. Ditto with Convalescence/Rampart.

I'll also macro Stoneskin (when I get it)... as one of my biggest gripes with the PS3 is switching from targeting the enemy to targeting myself (for a cure... which I generally only need when solo'ing a FATE).



Side-question... has anyone tinkered with macro'ing Sentinel with Bulwark? I very rarely use Bulwark on it's own... and both skills are on a 180 second cool-down. Would there be any disadvantage that I'm not taking into account?

Ditto with Foresight (which I constantly use) and Awareness (which I rarely use)... both are on a 120 second cooldown, any disadvantage that I'm not thinking about?



I'm asking this more towards people who have Coil/EX experience, since I'm not up to that point yet. I know that a lot of mechanics change and more skills need to be utilized during Coil and the EX fights. I want to make sure that I'm not doing something that I'm going to regret in a few weeks when I get to that end-end content.

Thanks in advance!

In My opinion I think that the Foresight+Awareness Macro is a good idea. Since they fixed the Awareness bug I have been finding it difficult to get back in the groove of using the skill. But because foresight is a lower mitigation CD (possibly wort in game) the added effect of no possibility of a Critical Hit is a great benefit.

With Sentinel and Bulwark I am not so sure that would be a very beneficial all around. Generally you would want to spread out your 2 strongest mitigation CDs. I think it would have a great place in in T5 when tanking the first set of snakes, but there are few places where I can think that i would use both of them at the same time. You get the most bang for the buck on Bulwark when you have multiple mobs hitting relatively fast (more chances to block more often).
