Thread: Paladin Binds/Setup

Hello! I have been playing a retribution paladin for some time now, but lately have been thinking I could probably do it better. I am somewhat geared and have a decent knowledge of how to perform in a raid environment. I am starting to feel that my UI and perhaps my binds and what I have on my bars may be more important than I initially thought.
So what I am looking for from you readers is perhaps a screenshot of your UI, and more importantly your bars and binds. I'd love to know what you feel is absolutely necessary and why. Also, anything about mousover macros you may have or any mods that help you lighten up buffs/utility moves from the actual bars would be helpful.
Thank you for your time. I look forward to reading what you have to say.

(Shift)(Alt) Q - Judgements
E - Exorcism
C - Consceration
1 - Crusader Strike
2 - Divine Storm
3 - Repentance
4 - HoJ
5 - Sacred Shield
Alt R - Wings

What I use. Pretty good I think, all your abilities are close together on the keyboard.

Shift 1 - 5 are things like Hands, Defensive abilities and Freedom.

lol that's pretty much what i use too. except a bit more elaborate for prot.

V for a macro to dispel myself or mouseover.
B for macro to cast sacred shield on myself.
X for Avenger's shield (cus im prot... duh)
Z for shield wall (although i might change that cus i've accidentally hit that instead of X)
2 hammer of the righetous
3 holy shield
shift 3 wings
4 shield of righteousness
5 judgement of light
T for taunt
G for Hammer of wrath (so i can kill people and PVP and spam "GG")
F blessing of freedom cast on myself

And for the heck of it, I use the following Macros:

Code:

Code:

#showtooltip Crusader Strike
/dismount
/cancelaura Hand of Protection
/cast Crusader Strike

Dismounts, casts CS/Starts attacking, and cancels Hand of Protection.

Code:

Code:

#showtooltip Divine Storm
/startattack
/cast Divine Storm

Casts DS and starts attacking the nearest enemy.


Code:

Code:

#showtooltip Flash of Light
/cast [target=target,help,nodead][target=targettarget,help,nodead][target=player] Flash of Light

Casts Flash of Light on my Target's Target (usually the tank) without deselecting my current target- If Target is friendly, casts FoL on them. If target's target does not exist or if my target is dead/I have no target, it targets myself.

Code:

Code:

#showtooltip Repentance
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/cast [target=focus]Repentance
/clearfocus [modifier:alt]

Casts Repentance on my target and makes it the focus target. Casts Repent on the Focus target regardless of my current target. If my Focus target is dead, it casts Repentance on my current target; If I have no current target it then cancels the focus.
