macro help

My provoke macro doesn't work that way.
It basically casts provoke. The second push will try and cast rage.
If the target isn't close enough, it just skips over it and does shield lob.
So it casts rage close and lob at a distance. Don't see any reason as to not have them both there.

Ok the second post makes more sense. I originally had only shield lob in there.
I may remove it.

True. Thanks for that Sagittarian.

Although I didn't explain myself correctly, and this is just my point of view and the way I play but, I prefer not to use Rage of Halone there anyway. In the majority of cases the mob in question is getting away from you so Shield Lob will trigger anyway and it has 120 potency and RoH just 100 without the combo effect. Don't quite remember which generate more enmity tho. If RoH without combo effect generate more enmity then maybe it justify its use, otherwise I stick to Shield Lob in the macro, and then Flash and Halone combo.

Shield lob has an enmity modifier of x3 and Rage of Halone has a modifier of x5. So 360/540 for Shield lob versus 500/750 for an out of combo Rage of Halone. (Flash is ~495/742.5, out of combo Savage Blade is 300/450, in combo Savage is 600/900 and Rage is 1300/1950.)

@Ultimatecalibur
Thanks for that info.

@Rextab
With the info above it seems that Rage of Halone works good in the macro, but like I said and explain, I prefer not to use it because my play style.

Anyway, the issue here is the problem with targeting and thats why I offer my Cover/Provoke macro. Did you tried it? if you did, did it solve the problem?

[Rextab]

i think i will leave rage in, especially since (if those numbers are correct) that it generated more threat than shield lob.
i think putting cover in the macro might be a good idea. sometimes someone hits a mob in that split second between the provoke and the rage/lob. at least that way they will be covered if that happens.
i think i will also make a separate cover macro just for using cover target of target and cover target.
i dont use cover that often, but i think working it in to the provoke macro is a cool idea.

i added cover to my provoke macro. tried it last night. seems to work well and is of a practical purpose.
thanks for the suggestion.

No problem. I'm glad it worked for you.
