Paladin Macros. I told some people I would get them some

[shoju]

Helllo Lurkers,

I told Both Gum and Viie that I would get them some of the paladin macros that I use to make life a little easier, and I keep forgetting to PM you guys the macros, so I figured I would toss them out there.

I don't use a lot of macros, but these come in VERY HANDY. Because of the UI that I have made for myself, the default Blizzard Focus commands don't work for me. So, I do it myself.

Focus stuff - I have extra action bars that don't have hotkeys, or have out of the way hotkeys that I don't normally use. My focus macros are not hotkeyed, as I don't change them very often.

I have a macro (with an EYE as the icon) for
/setfocus

This will allow me to set my current target as my focus target. To clear it, I have to use a macro
/clearfocus.

This gets around my UI being cranky with Blizzard's focus stuff


Tanking Macros:

#showtooltip Righteous Defense
/cast [@focus] Righteous Defense
/cast [@focus] Hand of Salvation

This simple macro gets a LOT of use in 5 mans. I set my healer as my focus, and have this little guy handy for places like H:HoR where the healer is BOUND to get aggro on something. In a normal heroic, I will set that overzealous DPSer as my focus, and RD them as needed

Because Righteous Defense no longer invokes the GCD, I can HoS the target at the same time to make sure that they don't get aggro back.

#showtooltip Hand of Salvation
/cast [target=mouseover] Hand of Salvation

This is a new macro for me, but I have found that while running with some incredible DPSers lately, they can creep up on me early in the fight. This makes it a LOT easier if someone creeps up while I have someone else on Focus.


DPS Macros.

I only ever used two marcos while Ret.

/startattack
/cast Divine Storm

/use (insert name of trinket here)
/cast Avenging Wrath

This makes sure that my melee uptime is good, and that my onuse trinkets are getting blown with wings for good burn times.



Healing Macros. While I'm tossing macros around,

#showtooltip Sacred Shield
/cast [@focus] Sacred Shield

#showtooltip Beacon of Light
/cast [@focus] Beacon of Light

I use spellbinder and clique for a lot of my healing, and I found that this was a fantastic way to load more heals on my mouse buttons and still Bacon/Shield my target. Normally when I heal my bacon target is my focus target, but sometimes, in damage intense situations, my healing target is my focus target, and as such, I have macros for both

I have also used similar macros for Hand of Sacrifice (when Healing Mimiron), and for Lay on Hands (before I had a free button on my mouse).


If there is any others that I come accross I will post them here, if anyone else has any nifty quality of life macros, post em here as well:)


Cheers!
