Key setup for Pally Tank, Holy Priest, 3 Locks?

[jdraughn]

I have been just basically shadow bolting things to death, but now I need to start pulling out corruption, curse of agony, renew, heals, ect.. since I am starting to hit instances.

I am about to start spending alot of time making my macros and choosing their spots and was wondering if anyone else has done this combination before and could offer me some tips.

What kind of cast sequences do you have? I am thinking of using my 5th, and maybe my 4th mouse buttons in combination with the number keys as different combinations. 5th mouse button and 1 = renew, 5th mouse button and 2 = heal, ect...

Any thoughts? I went with this setup so I can do as many pve instances as possible by myself. My mains in the past when I wasin't dual boxing was a 70 lock and 70 prot pally. I always liked felguard spec over the other specs because it was so easy, coa, corruption, shadow bolt and felguard pretty much is all I had ever had to use when raiding as far as DPS spells was concerned, and my DPS was always in the top 3 in 10 man raids.

With 3 felguards too it will help me keep my dps up even if I am a little slow with casting their spells because I am trying to manage 3 different classes at once.

I manage 4 different classes ... so it's all possible :)

I have 2 mages instead of 2 of your warlocks, but I'll point out some interesting bits:

Curse of the Elements on elites is really sweet. Now that it covers both shadow and fire it means most mobs will hardly ever resist your other curse spells. I'd probably have a rotation where one of your locks puts on that curse and the other 2 put on CoA.

SB, Curse (whichever),SB, Corruption, Immolate, Incinerate, SB, SB

Or, you could put CotE on a separate button and do a cast sequence like ,,CoTE ,CoTE, CoTE,, so that each lock takes their own turn at putting on that curse.



If I had 3 locks, I would probaly always have 1 imp and 2 felguards up. I would also recommend taking both Bane and Corruption Instant cast. I know that puts you in 3 trees - but I think both abilities really pay off in terms of DPS - and it makes SB spamming a real source of DPS. When corruption has a cast time it really limits your utility too - running around grabbing mobs for dailies I just spam them with Corruption&SW: P to tag. As I gather mobs, I'll simply have my priest AoE fear them off, and grab the next group. By the time they come running back to my AoE pile-up they are softened up nicely and a little AoE is all I need to finish them off. If I had 2 more Corruptions on them they probably wouldn't even make it back to me. Oh, and the priest AoE fear is so nice with my lock for when I am fealing lazy :)

Take a look at the Seed of Corruption macro I posted. That can work wonders for AoE groups.



As for other macros, I set my Avenger Shield button to the same button as "Cast renew on the tank" - so when I pull I always start a fight with Renew.
