    You mean like this:

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

    Thing is, we don't have time to spare an instant FoL on the tank- Not to say its 100% bad to do so. I like to toss one on him every time he dips under 40-60% health or so.

    Re: Stupid Ret Pallies are so FACEROLL!

    Ret isnt hard to do its just really boring ever since the seal of vengeance change came out, Usually i just stick to keeping CS off cooldown and things tend to clash less. The only thing that pisses me off is when vengeance falls off on certain fights (First Icehowl wall smash just as everyone pops heroism and he takes 100% more damage with AW up :'()

    But yeah, Doesnt matter how you say it rets rotation is generally going to be mash buttons and damage happens the only difference is what order you press it in which doesnt really matter if you have half a brain.
    Because some players aren't looking for anything logical, like loot. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some players just want to watch the group fail.

    Re: Stupid Ret Pallies are so FACEROLL!

    It's not hard to maximize my DPS as a ret paladin. Not hard at all. Of course, I also play a mage, druid, and rogue. It's not hard to maximize my DPS with any of those either. A little research into proper enchants/gems and rotation, then some practice on a training dummy... add in a little real raiding experience, and I'm at the top of my game with any of the four classes I mentioned. All of those classes run into fight-specific issues, such as when to use cooldowns. It all comes together with some practice though.

    But maximizing my DPS as a ret paladin isn't the end of the story. A good ret paladin does far more than maximize DPS. Having played all four of the above mentioned classes in raids, I can say with confidence that I have far more to do as a ret paladin than as any of the other classes. I have to watch the entire raid. I have to watch everyone's threat. I have to watch the boss to know when to use my utility, because people aren't always going to call it out on vent. Meanwhile I have to do the normal things: stand in the right place, and use the right DPS abilities at the right times to maximize my DPS.

    I'm not saying this is hard. But a GOOD ret paladin has plenty of things to watch, even though we don't have to time DoT reapplication or manage diverse procs. I have to use my own wisdom and experience much of the time to guide me. Is this the right time to Lay or Sac the tank? Is this a good time to Bubble/DivSac or Aura Mastery? Does that DPSer need a Salv? Does that other DPSer need a BoP? Should I taunt that small add off a clothie and bring it back to the tank? Should I stop some DPS here to do a little off healing?

    Honestly, I doubt my raid group even notices all the things I'm doing on a given fight. They see my DPS on recount at the end. But that's ok, I know what I bring.

    Let's all ride the Gish gallop.

    I have a pally, but I haven't played her much as ret. But from what I remember, that type of macro would not be efficient in the least. Things would not always come off of cooldown in that order.

    They actually do, you should try it if you don't think it works. I took my prot pally ret to finish out leveling her, a friend gave me that macro and now my pally is 80 and spec'd back to prot again.

    Correct. That particle macro gets close, but fails to maximize DPS.

    I just tried it. There were many times where it was trying to Consecrate or Exo when DS was off cooldown. This is a DPS loss.

    EDIT: To clarify, it does the rotation correctly at first, but falls more and more out of sync as it goes. It would work well as a leveling macro, for sure, where everything is dead by the time the macro starts failing. However, boss fights aren't that short.

    EDIT again: in two minute training dummy tests, that macro fell 20% short of my manual dps.

    To prove DKs are mostly re-rolls?

    Dk's are all going to be re-rolls unless you are new to the game, go troll else where.

    The point thats being proven is that ret paladins dps cycle can be entirely macro'd there for they are a face roll class. Regardless of whether or not the macro is made for maximum dps or not it still works, and pallys are still a face roll class.

    I'm honestly not sure what his point is either. Sure, you could do that, and providing the cool downs line up, it still wouldn't work in 90% of any raid encounters...but, ya' know...

    I guess I'll try to prove a meaningless point, too. On my DK I have very literally placed my deceases in a line across my keys and then added my actual rotation afterward and managed to kill an elite mob on my Death Knight while slowly rolling my nose across my keys.

    C wut i did thar?

    So, if ret paladins are faceroll and DKs are noseroll, what does that make arcane mages?

    Feral druids would have been with the Ele shaman and the Destro warlock. Obviously feral is much easier to play then ret....

    Facesmash, I suppose, as long as your 2 keys are close.

    Any class can macro its rotation. One button TBC Hunters, anyone?

    Thats part of the point: that you can't have a DK without rerolling.

    Sad sarcasm makes me sad

    I'd rather Ret had a feral-like rotation.
