Combos!!

I have been doing it without macro since I started but I was wondering if I was missing anything special.

PLD actually does benefit from macros more than others due to his support skills.

what I use:
/micon "Cover"
/merror off
/ac "Cover" <t>
/ac "Cover" <f>
/ac "Cover" <2>

this will cover your target,
if you do not have friendly target selected, it will cover FOCUS target that you can decide before pull,
if you do not have even that, it will cover second member of your party which is you tank buddy (so you can take second leg of tank buster etc..)

I guess if you not doing 8-man, you can instead of <2> use <tt> to cover target-of-target (whoever the boss is hitting)

The very same macro can be used with Intervention:
/micon "Intervention"
/merror off
/ac "Intervention" <t>
/ac "Intervention" <f>
/ac "Intervention" <2>

and ofc Shirk, so you dont need to re-target for shirking:
/micon "Shirk"
/merror off
/ac "Shirk" <t>
/ac "Shirk" <f>
/ac "Shirk" <2>

You forgot about Clemency.

I do not like to macro Clemency, because its GCD skill. But its no biggie to use it too.
