4.1 Prot Pally Tanking Rotation

[cookcpu]

The macro {whatever one it is since Cookcpu didn't actually post it} is getting stuck somewhere, preventing the macro from processing something so it can complete the sequence and start over. This points to a typo in the macro, a spell listed in the sequence that they don't actually have, improper punctuation or spacing {a period instead of a comma perhaps}, a spell listed that is not having prerequisites met {Judgement when there is no Seal active, A spell that requires Holy Power when there is no HP built up} or something with a long cooldown that is getting recalled too early.

I suspect it might not having prerequisites being met for the castsequence command to continue as I have to leave out 2 spell from the original macro posted in the 1st post.

Any chance of posting the one you're using currently? (as mentioned first page is filtered at work for some reason :P)

Thanks

The filters are probably keeping you from seeing it due to the links I posted in it to Curse for the addon/file and to Wowhead for the talent tree build. I'm in the process of rewording the castsequence for those that might have trouble with it resetting too early before WoG is off cooldown making this pretty much useless. Haven't been playing much lately and have yet to even log into my pally since I came up with this. I was thinking of putting WoG on the end of the castsequence, but seeing other macros posted on this page, I'm going to try them out as well and see how I like'em over my original one. If I like it and don't have trouble with it, I'll edit the first post so everyone can see it, hopefully, maybe get the one on the sticky changed as well. Wasn't thinking of the reset=3 screwing anyone over before WoG was off cooldown :/ sorry. Don't know why you're havin trouble there Cook, instead of copying it, try manually typing it out and see if that'll help. I have had trouble with the copy/paste function from other threads on here others have posted for /castsequences. After that, I've always manually typed them out in the game, and I also use the default WoW macro pages :/ They should really expand this by now since we're able to save them on our own PCs. They are the macro-cache.txt files deep in the WTF folder under each character under each account. Main macros are in the main folder under each main folder with the account's 'Login name'. You can copy/paste these files from one account to another as well. Did this for my shaman and hunter teams from my main's folder. Same goes for SavedVariable.lua (effects some UI addons), and the bindings files (key bindings). I copied over the SavedVariables folder as well so the addon settings would follow over to the other accounts as well. BACKUP your original files before doing any of this in the unlikely event of something going wrong or messing up. I did btw, and suggest anyone do the same.

I will try to take out WoG spell and see whether it will solve the problem.

I have been typing macro instead of copy/paste into the WoW macro pages. If by typing out the macro into the SavedVariable.lua will help to get rid of the chars limit then I will give it a try. (I will backup all the files before doing it.) Thank you.

I'd suggest typing them out while playing the game in the macro creation panel so you can tell how many 'characters' you're typing so you'll know whether or not you reach the 255 mark. You can't exceed that limit if you type them in the .lua file. I suggested those files only after you get them to work correctly while ingame. This way you don't have to copy/paste so many macros one after another from one toon to another. Easier to just copy that toon's whole list over. I found this out when starting over on new servers. I first copied over my 85 hunter's macro list to my new one on another server to shave off time. Then adjusted each macro to take out spells I did not yet have according to level/spec requirement. You don't have to have WoG in that rotation, make sure it's not in there if you don't have it yet. I put that in there for the 'Guarded by the Light' 2pt bonus and self healing for when I solo things. Give it time, I'll bet like the portals, this will get another change either to it's 20second cooldown, or better heal over time effect. You can glyph it to get that now tho, but I'm not sure how it'll effect the 'overhealing' part of the talent.

I'd suggest using the Macro Explain-o-matic. It'll show you how many characters are used, what the macro does and if you have a typo, it'll put a question mark or exclamation point up in the explain section showing you that there's an error.

Ok noted in regards to copying those lua file to other chars. Thank you.

Thank you, I will try it out.

Another thing I just caught on to. Not sure if you're doing it Cook, but just in case, make sure you're not putting any spaces after the comma and before the next spell. Each space between the words takes up 1 character on the 255 limit.

Was wondering if someone could test these two sequences out for me and tell me what you think compared to the original sequence I made and help me arrange them what needs to be arranged. Plus you think you can put them through a TPS/Recount test and post some results? Mine don't want to work for me right and I don't know how to use that TPS addon everyone else uses.


Just replace this one with the first /castsequence I posted and use it with the SPAM button I made to /click this macro, then the Avenger's Shield spell too. This macro reached the 255 mark, so I couldn't group them all together in one macro.

Mob rotation:
/castsequence reset=3 Hammer of the Righteous,Judgement,Hammer of the Righteous,Inquisition,Hammer of the Righteous,Inquisition,Judgement,Hammer of The Righteous,Inquisition,Hammer of the Righteous,Holy Wrath,Hammer of the Righteous,Word of Glory

Just use this one on bosses/single target pulls by it'self.

Single Target macro:
/castsequence reset=3 Crusader Strike,Judgement,Crusader Strike,Shield of the Righteous,Crusader Strike,Judgement,Crusader Strike,Shield of the Righteous,Crusader Strike,Holy Wrath,Crusader Strike,Word of Glory
/cast Avenger's Shield
/cast Hammer of Wrath

Again, I use Consecration manually.

An opening boss fight macro that might help. If running with others, warn them not to fight till after the AS is cast.

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=60 Divine Plea, Inquisition, Exorcism, Avenger's Shield
