tanking attack macros

[-DMR-]

I thought about getting started in macro combo attacks for tanking, as earlier on, I mucked things up and spammed Tomahawk and Overpower (in Sunken Temple NM).

Anyway, here they are...

Threat - Heavy Swing > Skull Sunder > Butcher's Block
Healing - Heavy Swing > Maim > Storm's Path
DPS - Heavy Swing > Maim > Storm's Eye

...although, I may need to alter them for lower level dungeons.

Also, I thought I would need to use Provoke and Flash too.

Don't use macros for combos.

[Landonian]

This is bad and you should feel bad.

Can macros be used for anything then?

[Franchesca]

Macro crafting rotations, well 2 star at least. Anything else, don't. Because you know.. server latency.

Macros to announce certain skills - paladins use it for hallowed ground, for example, and healers for raises. I also have pet summon macros that set their stance and change my hotbars - usually used out of combat and not hurt by latency.

Use a macro for your berserker. So the healer knows when to esuna/leech your pacification. Something like "I just used Berserk" "x seconds left", stuff like that.

[Franchesca]

Macro announcements are fine, anything involved with combo rotations don't pan well due to server latency.

[Ashkendor]

Macro announcements are fine, anything involved with combo rotations don't pan well due to server latency.

Not to mention the fact that the GCD is 2.5 seconds base and macros only work in whole seconds.

You'd be losing at least full second for every three-skill combo.

Make a 10 second pull macro so your team can be ready for the pull.
