Requesting comments: Warrior tanking macro

[wonz]

Hi there,

i wrote the following warrior tank macro, and would love to hear comments for it:

Main Spam Button:

/startattack [nodead]
/cast Bloodrage
/cast Shield Block
/click MultiBarLeftButton1
/click MultiBarLeftButton2
/click MultiBarLeftButton3
/click MultiBarLeftButton4
/click MultiBarLeftButton5
/click MultiBarLeftButton6

M1:

/castsequence reset=combat Shield Slam,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

M2:

/castsequence reset=combat Thunderclap,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

M3:

/castsequence reset=20 Shockwave,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

M4:

/castsequence reset=combat Commanding Shout,nul

M5:

/castsequence Devastate,,,,,,,,,

M6:

/castsequence reset=combat Revenge,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
/use 13
/use 14


Edit:

Changed the macro, also changed "Revenge" to be the last style and Devastate to give a time window for Revenge, which is in fact a proc.. check if your button spamming speed is able to hit revenge, if not, alter if for your needs.
Also removed Heroic Strike, you should put it on an extra button and spam it as well once you got lot of rage.

Comments are welcome, again

The /use 13 and /use 14, are not on a GCD.
So even though they are on the last click button, they'll fire off on the first press.
Not sure if that is your intention or not.

I don't know warrior tanks well enough to comment on the spells chosen or the order.
As far as the click goes, it doesn't look like it will get stuck anywhere.

You may want to remove Demoralizing Shout altogether if you're trying to really maximize threat output. Rarely is it worth wasting a global cooldown on.

It was. I just did not put in into the main macro because its already at its limit

Will try without. Thanks.

how could I tweak this to get more devastates in?

[wonz]

Remove Heroic Strike from M7. Most times, it eats up low rage.

Roger. I've done that but I usually only end up with 3 sunders. Might be my buttoning. I'll work on it. Thanks.

I changed the macro, build onto some of the considerations. Devastate now got a higher priority than revenge, which is the last style in row (much better, due do the fact its a proc). Devastate also should be used very more often now, in the first version of the macro it was blocked by revenge sometimes.

I use one click slot do this:

/castsequence heroic strike,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,cleave,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

This throws in one of each every so often, and doesn't eat up rage.

Will try that one, and add it to the macro if it works fine for. Thanks
