Buff Macros?

[Adamas]

Does anyone have a resource for tank macros? I'd like to create a one-button buff macro. Rampart, keen flurry, etc...

[Laxus_Dreyar]

/ac "Rampart" <me>
/ac "Keen Flurry" <me>

And so on.

i would add recast.

/ac "Rampart" <me>
/ac "Keen Flurry" <me>
/ac ...
/recast "Rampart"
/recast "Keen Flurry"
/recast ...

so i could see what cooldowns i have.

Since we are talking macro's here, i have a problem with my builder macro not working properly!
Macro is:
/ac "Shield Swipe" <t>
/ac "Fast Blade" <t>
/ac "Shield Lob" <t>

So basically it should pop shield swipe whenever it's up, but this is not always the case, sometimes it works ,other times i just use fast blade, Anyone can explain why it does this ?

I use

/ac "Fight or Flight" <me>
/ac "Shield Swipe" <t>
/ac "Fast Blade" <t>
/ac "Shield Lob" <t>

And it works fine. Not sure why your macro isen't working though.

Just a warning - be very careful of putting Shield Swipe on your Fast Blade macro.

I did this for a while and it felt awesome soloing, but as soon as I entered a dungeon with it it became obvious that it can be a problem. If you're tanking 2-3 mobs at once your block will be proccing a lot, which means Shield Swipe will be up A LOT. As a result I found that sometimes I simply wasnt able to get Savage Blade/Rage of Halone going at all because every time I tried to do the Fast Blade I got another unwanted Shield Swipe.

Put Shield Swipe on another key and use it when you see it's up. Unless Shield Swipe has some extra Enmity generation on it then you may find yourself nerfing your threat rotations by having it proc too much.

It seems pretty random, really strange. maybe that i am just out of range for shield swipe,no clue tbh :-)

I recommend getting used to using your self buffs separately. Popping them all at the same time is something you will almost never do in a group situation.

Shield Swipe is a block reactive ability, so it will only proc after a succesfull block.

Thats is as such ok, but in a dungeon it's not always good, as you at the beginning of a fight want to ensure building as much aggro as fast as possible.
So the best process is Fast Blade -> Savage Blade -> Rage of Halone. If you use a macro for Savage Blade and get a block proc, you risk using a GCD doing Shield Swipe thus delaying optimal aggro building.

So I use Shield Swipe on its own key in dungeons
