Buff Macros?

[Keichan27]

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.

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
