Especially since every time you move you are basically resetting your rotation
    I disagree with that. You have no debuffs to cast on the mob, so no matter which ability you use it always does the same damage. Try with a warlock; atleast as destruction you will need to have immolate ticking at all times, and until 3.1 you will also need to have CoA or Corruption ticking for Molten Core buff. That means every time you change targets you will have to waste atleast 3 seconds before you can actually start your rotation :P

    And I think MSBT allows you to set sound effects, too, though I've never tried it. I use MSBT to see the incoming and outgoing damage/healing, I have no trouble noticing any abilities proccing even without MSBT

    EDIT: /msbt -> Triggers, click on the one you want to modify and choose the sound-effect you want it to play

    Re: Ret macros

    For Ret there are not really any you need to watch for, correct. I was referring to the add-on topic and the fact he is the raid leader and its tough to keep an eye on everything while trying to do dps. Holy pallies would benefit a little more since a few spells are altered based on whether other things are currently cast on the target, more specifically sacred shield on the tank for healing crits.

    The CD's i'm looking for the addon warnings from are my basic attacks (judge,cs,ds,etc) so I don't drop my rotation too often

    Re: Ret macros

    The only macro a ret paladin needs is

    /r No thanks, I don't want to tank or heal your heroic


    Also Ghost pulse flashes a customisable (size/position/duration) icon up on the screen when abilities/trinkets come off cooldown, don't know if it still works as its been a while since I used it

    Re: Ret macros

    Heres what I use for trash and when I dont feel like watching cooldowns. Just mash over and over.

    /startattack
    /castrandom Divine Plea, Avenging Wrath, Hammer of Wrath
    /castsequence reset=combat/10 Crusader Strike, Judgement of Wisdom, Divine Storm, Crusader Strike, Judgement of Wisdom, Crusader Strike, Divine Storm

    Manually weave in consecration, there is a 1-2 sec lull at some points.

    NOT AT ALL OPTIMAL with popping AW and DP, but automatically Hammers for you.
    That will get you about 90ish%+ dps equiv of optimal cooldown watching.

    This is exactly the idea. I need to be able to DPS efficiently without staring at my buttons or slamming my hand against 1-5..

    Re: Ret macros

    The best suggestion, and since I do not know your complete raid make-up, is to make a raid assist who is competent, such as a trash tank or ranged DPS who can watch the other things while you focus on DPS and just worry about the higher level RL functions such as loot and discipline problems.

    HERE'S an idea! I've seen an addon several times that when a CD comes back up, it flashes the ability in the middle of your screen. Anyone know the name of the addon?
    Try POWA, it will give you the option to flash icons anywhere on your screen.

    I use it on my warrior for S&B procs, and my Paladin for Art of war procs. Also can be used to see when a buff drops off you and its time to rebuff or when an ability is available.

    Hope that helps you

    Glad I could help. I've got a similar set for FFB Mage, Shadow Priest, Prot Pally, and Huntard if you want. Hit a PM and we can chat if you need. Not the right forum for those

    Re: Ret macros

    /castsequence Judgment of Wisdom, Divine Storm, Consecration, Crusader Strike, Judgment of Wisdom, Crusader Strike, Divine Storm, Consecration, Judgment of Wisdom, Crusader Strike

    This resets itself every 3 judgments. Ideally you want to use judgment as soon as its off CD and if a GCD from another spell prevents you from using judgement, wait for judgement to come off then cast the next spell. This cast sequence doesn't follow the above rule. The 3rd judgement is delayed by one second by consecration.

    Instead of 3 judgments every 21 seconds you get them every 22 seconds. You lose 5% of your judgement dps and gain 7% damage of consecration, compared to FCFS (due to not delaying it for judgment).

    This rotation excludes HoW, exorcism, and Holy Wrath. Good for your 3D fun times. Just throw a HoW after Judgment is cast.

    I can see it being a raid leader, it's sad your a ret pally and a raid leader lol, I figured generally it's a job for ranged classes who can watch over everyone easier since generally ranged don't have to deal with AoE damage and stuff.
    i kinda agree

    i dont think there is any ret macro
    *there are general pally macros*
    but no ret macros
    we dont need it
    you shouldnt need it
    *its not that complicated doing dps*
    keeping up full dps while doing some support is what i find a lil hard
    *mainly targeting ppl not in my party
    but almost never happens these days
    no im not always gonna put in a lot of thought when i post
    and not all my posts are serious/true
