I've given up macroing shield block to shield slam - maybe I was imagining it, but it seemed to me that with the macro as my button instead of shield slam, the button did not show when shield slam had refreshed early due to the revenge/devastate proc and so I missed some opportunities. I have pretty much got into the routine of pressing shield block before shield slam, so delinking them is no big deal. And if shield block is not always on cooldown, it means I may have it ready for when I do want it as a mini-cooldown.
This is what I had when I did macro SB and SS:
- Code: Select all
#showtooltip Shield Slam
/use 14
/cast Shield Block
/cast Shield Slam
However, I do macro shield block to inner rage (same CD) and to the dps on use feature of one of my trinkets (figurine of boars or eye of rajh; I usually forget to press the use feature).
- Code: Select all
#showtooltip Shield Block
/use 14
/cast Inner Rage
/cast Shield Block
I only use two other macros:
First, one button charge/intercept/intervene:
- Code: Select all
/castsequence [harm] reset=15 Charge, Intercept, Charge; [help] Intervene;
This occasionally gives me errors - probably the intervene part - but the charge/intercept parts seems to work ok.
And second, this was for when I was regularly upgrading my ranged weapon, using either throw or shoot as appropriate:
- Code: Select all
/cast [equipped:thrown] Throw; Shoot
