Combos!!

[KalinOrthos]

Hoo boy. Okay, first off, stay the hecc away from macros except for rare circumstances. The only macro I use at all is for Nascent Flash on warrior when I'm MT, and even then I still default to RI more often than not.

Second, for paladins, your AoE combo is Total Eclipse > Prominence, with some lovely Holy Circle usage for some nice numbers. Your single target rotation is quite a bit more complicated:

1) Start with Fast Blade > Riot Blade > Goring Blade to set up your DoT.
2) Next, Fast > Riot > Rage of Halone/Royal Authority, depending on level
3) If you've reached 76, you'll use Atonement 3 times. If not, repeat step 2.
4) Repeat step 1-3
5) If you have Fight or Flight up, use it between your first Riot Blade and Goring Blade
6) FoF should fall off on your second Goring Blade. When this happens, use Requiscat. This begins your magic phase. Here you'll use Holy Spirit until your mana runs out, which is 5 casts. When you reach 80, you'll instead cast HS 4 times then Confeitor.
7) Go back to step 1.

As you can see, something like this you can't really macro.

Ohhhh ok so basically what I have been doing. I was a little thrown off because I finally figured out how to unlock pvp at level 80 lol.... anyways when I went to that Arena Island thing one of the abilities it gave me was a built in Combo Ability for Single target (Fast Blade > Riot Blade > Goring Blade) and AoE

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.
