Tanking macros on ps4?

[Cap75]

I would highly, highly recommend against using the majority of what Wintersandman uses. No offense, Winter, but there is a ton of waste in those macros. You're blowing stacks of wrath and CDs for no reason at all at times in that setup. Bloodbath, Conv after a bunch of other stuff? And how do you work ToB into that? Why would you ever want SC going off if you have a full stack and try to OP? Nor would you want to waste Unchained every time it's available and you just want an IB. And Provoke is waaaay to important to have tied to HG. If you're trying to keep trading hate with another tank and HG goes off that's a near definite wipe in anything needing aggro trading.

I have two hotbars personally that I switch between by hitting R1 (PS4). My BB combo one, storm combo on the other. My CDs are divided between the two based on how they're used in conjunction.

[Wintersandman]

Snip.

I already said I didn't think I liked Inner Beast and Unchained together.

Provoke isn't tied to Holmgang. Actually its the other way around. Since Provoke will go off before Holmgang. Also you will always know when provoke is on CD since it is your macroicon.

I prefer Steel Cyclone over Overpower in almost any multi-target threat model. I never hold onto my wrath I am constantly cycling through it. Whether it is for Inner Beast or Steel Cyclone.

I already stated Thrill of Battle is separate.

My one macro wasn't the exact layout. It was to be an example.

Thanks for not reading everything I stated and picking what you wanted out of it .

My macros are bigger than your macros.

What I'm waiting for is a macro for healers to turn on defiance for warriors who forget.

As a person who mains as Tank, I actually have one for this :P And one for Shield Oath for Paladins

I tie provoke to a "/targetenemy <t>" to ensure that I'm locked on provoked target. This prevents me from accidentally using my follow-up enmity skill on a wrong target and lose aggro on the newly provoked target.

I also do a count down timer for Holmgang to remind healers that they can ignore me for about one GCD.

I also have a macro asking the team to focus attack on a target. Especially useful in DFs or raids with DPS races.

Only macros i use on Pld are my Hate rotation and MP refresh rotation and they've never messed up on me other then that all my CD's/ DEF buffs are spread out across my hotbar only have to use 1 hotbar

[Killabye]

I have
Ac fast blade <t> <wait1>
Ac awareness
Ac bloodbath
Ac rampart
Ac foresight

This is situational so I keep roh combo as my dual button so I don't use it. I also have fof tied into SB and cos, sw and ms tied to roh. For bosses you don't have to silence or are OT this gives a long buff that can be extended with shield swipes. This leaves all your big buffs for later so I rely a lot on my healers with this combo, I let them heal me out and try and save my big buffs for when I really need them

[BazFamrit]

I tend to pair CDs that work in tandem.

Berserk + bloodbath for DMG heals
Thrill + conval for when I am taking lots of DMG at once or need bigger heals
Feather foot + foresight + awareness to soften incoming damage

Each set has same CD and each skill benefits from each other and I can also hit the macro only once to use what I need rather than blow everything. Save space and provides the situational utility I need.

I have internal release and mercy stroke macrod after heavy swing so I can hit it between gcd and time my mercy strokes for the healing effect.
