I saw it the other day, it was like 30 spells long lol in a cast sequence.. I so can not find that thread for the life of me

Could anyone post their paly tank macros?

I use:

/castsequence reset=5 Holy Shield,Hammer of the Righteous,Judgement of Light,shield of righteousness,Consecration,Hammer of the Righteous,Holy Shield,shield of righteousness,Judgement of Light,Hammer of the Righteous,Consecration,shield of righteousness

Works nicely :)

I second bongoheads suggestion its design to be spammable hits every gcd and cast every ability as it comes off cooldown.
Just make sure yeh have a seal up before yeh start spamming or it stops at judgement.

and for future reference its the 9696 rotation if yeh search for that yeh will find tons about it.

[mmcookies]

just use any ol' 696 rotation and you'll be rolling in threat

[Lyonheart]

I use the sequence now and its does ok.. the reason i want to use a /click is so i can put my hammer of wrath and Divine plea in there.. it was in my random macro and my TPS was higher then this /sequence 969 macro I'm using now.. I ALWAYS forget to use hammer of wrath when boxing and or divine plea. Anyone figured a good /click macro for Prot and Ret palies yet?

[Coltimar]

I use:

CLICK MACRO
#show Holy Shield
/click MultiBarBottomRightButton1
/use 13
/use 14


TANK MACRO on MultiBarBottomRightButton1
/castsequence reset=18 Shield of Righteousness,Holy Shield,Hammer of the Righteous,Consecration,Shield of Righteousness,Judgement of Light,Hammer of the Righteous,Holy Shield,Shield of Righteousness,Consecration,Hammer of the Righteous,Judgement of Wisdom

Not perfect, but it does what I need. Since if fixed my spec I have been very pleased with it.

Fur: Have you looked into doing a "click" version of a tanking macro? I was thinking about building one today based on the post-3.2 Shaman macro. Thoughts?

[Ualaa]

My pally runs with 4x Shammies.
Sometimes one of the shammies is Resto.

I use these two macro's:

#show Holy Shield
/stopmacro [mod]
/startattack
/ClickMultiBarBottomRightButton7

Paladin 1 (96969 Rotation)
/castsequence reset=9 Holy Shield,Hammer of the Righteous,Judgement of Light,Shield of Righteousness,Consecration,Hammer of the Righteous,Holy Shield,Shield of Righteousness,Judgement of Light,Hammer of the Righteous,Consecration,Shield of Righteousness

The reason for the stopmacro on a mod, is so the Shammies can kill stuff at range, if it will die before it's in range, without the pally starting the dps macro.

You could very easily insert the Divine Plea into the macro, at any point after the Stopmacro line if desired. I personally like to have the option of when to click it. If its a trash mob, or a couple leading up to a boss or more difficult fight, I'd like to click it on the trash mob prior to the boss, or maybe the boss only. But if you're forgetting to click it, put it in the initial call macro.

The 96969 macro is 254 characters long. Not a lot of space there for other spells. Unless of course you're using a macro addon for longer macro's.

You could easily have the first macro call two macro click sequences.
Put my 96969 macro in the second slot.
Put a macro with your other spell in the first slot.
Adjust the number of comma's to your spam speed and the spells refresh.

If you want, the call macro could be adjusted too.
Change it to:

#show Holy Shield
/stopmacro [mod:alt]
/use Hammer of Wrath [mod:ctrl]
/use Divine Plea [mod:shift]
/startattack
/ClickMultiBarBottomRightButton7

[Whowantstoknow]

I concur with fur on this one. There is no need to use click for a fixed rotation of instant cast spells. My rotation is 969 without consecration. I prefer to manually cast consecration to manage my mana better and it allows me to use cooldowns without delaying rotation.

Also, as a tank you only need to hit Divine Plea once for a fight. Even if you are pulling 10-15 mobs that are bashing on you constantly... and DPS is taking 6 months to drop them all... you will NEVER need to hit Divine Plea more than once thanks to 2/2 Guarded by the Light (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=53585):

Reduces spell damage taken by 6% and gives a 100% chance to refresh the duration of your Divine Plea when you hit an enemy. In addition, your Divine Plea spell is 100% less likely to be dispelled.

My tanking setup is:
Pulling Macro
/castsequence Divine Plea, Avenger's Shield
And then the macro that Fur posted. If you REALLY wanted to, you could make the rotation 12 spells long, which is the exact point at which your cycle repeats... but there is no need.

NOTE: (this is IMPORTANT)
You do NOT want /click Divine Plea in your spammable macro, because you don't want to re-start the cooldown right as the last trash-mob dies. Now, you have to /sit and wait for 60 seconds for DP to come off cooldown. Once it's up... it's up. I can tank a 5 minute boss-fight with 1/2 Spiritual Attunment (without the Glyph) and finish the fight with >90% mana.

If you are having mana problems you are doing something wrong.

[Khatovar]

What changes are you seeing, Fur? The tooltip still says the above and the patchnotes at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/ says :


Guarded by the Light: This talent will no longer cause Divine Plea's duration to be refreshed by using Judgement of Wisdom, Judgement of Justice, or Judgement of Light.

That seems that it will still refresh, just not off judgements? I thought there was a major nerf to it posted somewhere, but it's not listed in the notes, unless it's hidden elsewhere.

[JU1CYFRU1T]

Yeah... the only "nerf" is that judgement's won't proc it... if they nerfed it too badly, Protadins would be as uesless as having a Retadin in BG. As of two nights ago, hitting Divine Plea + Avenger's Shield to pull the Black Knight in H ToCh had me finishing the fight with 96% mana.

Divine plea NEVER fell off because when the BK goes through is phases, his "respawn" is fast enough that you don't lose the refresh. The only time that I had an issue was the FIRST time that I tanked that fight, and that was because I DPed right as he landed... not realizing that he has a 25 second monologue before you can engage him.

I will try it again next time I am up near there... but I am 99% sure that I didn't refresh DP at all during that fight.

Just so I know... what exactly is the nerf that you were refering to? I know that Blizz said they were going to lower mana-regen as a whole, to make people pay more attention... but I don't remember anything specific to DP except for it's current change.
