tanking attack macros

[Zaft]

The utility of those macros is highly debatable. Esuna/leeches cannot be precast in this case, so they have to wait to see the buff.. Then cast time.. At most, you'll save 1-2 seconds and healer will lose a gcd.

Not really. If your healer actually knows how to handle cleansing (aka, the moment the debuff hits 0), you, as the WAR, will not lose a single GCD. Your berserk should kick in immediately after your final ability, which means you're stuck in the GCD for somewhere around 2.4s. That's more than enough time a cleanse to land and you'll be right back to your rotation.

That being said, I obviously don't expect a cleanse if you're in the middle of something important. But that's also my responsibility as a WAR to time my berserks properly.
