    How are maros supposed to work?

    I'm trying this macro for my Paladin:
    /macroicon Provoke
    /ac Provoke <t>
    /ac "Rage of Halone" <t>
    /ac "Shield Lob" <t>

    I use it and it casts just Provoke. I thought it was supposed to also cast either RoH or Shield Lob.

    You need to put in the <wait> times. It is trying to use Provoke, then immediately use RoH, then immediately use Shield Lob. This is causing some/all of them after Provoke to fail due to the golbal cooldown.

    You cannot execute multiple actions simultaneously. So it casts provoke and the other two fail because provoke is still being fired. You could tell it to /wait 1 or 0.5 or something in between.

    Just so you know - /wait 0.5 actually results in /wait 1 as game rounds up all decimals in /wait commands.

    The way that this macro is supposed to work is you double press it

    First press will use provoke, the 2nd will skip provoke because it's now on cool down, and instead it will use RoH if the mob is in range or shield lob if it's not.

    You don't need to put waits between them. You just have to hit the macro a couple of times for them to fire off what ever is available.

    Both explanations make sense.

    Thx
