Hi,
This is a macro for Protection paladins based on the new 7.1.5 patch (now 7.2.0) to be used with the latest version (2.x.x) of GSE. The talent choices are chosen to be proactively DPS orientated, and are somewhat based on those used by Bubblerific who currently holds rank 1 for Mythic HoV (logs).
It is now Patch 7.2.0 and this macro has been very popular and is still performing very well both in terms of DPS and rotating in Shield of the Righteous.
Versions included:
- v1 (Default) attempts to save 1-2 charges for Seraphim.
- v2 (Mythic+Raid) will not cast SotR.
- v3 (New) based on V1, includes Eye Of Tyr
Cooldowns and CC are off the macro:
Ardent Defender and Avenging Wrath are off the Macro, as is Blinding Light.
In use:
Open with Avenging Wrath and activate the macro. By default (outside of Mythic and Raids), V1 will try to save 1-2 charges of SotR for Seraphim. In your opening you will use 2 charges for Seraphim and have quite a high burst. After a while your SotR charges may cap, but this is you are totally AFK; this is designed in fact to give you some control of SotR by default.
Shield of the Righteous:
The macro (new to GSE2) includes three versions: 1, 2 and 3 (new). Version 2 is automatically activated in Mythic and Raids and will never use Shield of the Righteous; you assume full control of SotR, however Seraphim will remain in the rotation. Version 1 does use SotR, sparingly, and will attempt to leave you with some charges that you can either activate manually or consume via Seraphim.
(Patch 7.2.0, 31st March) The macro now includes a Version 3; this is not used by default nor in any situation however it includes Eye of Tyr (EoT), and will be called to use towards the end of the opening rotation. I do consider EoT a mini damage reduction CD and chose to seperate it into V3; V3 is based on V1 and includes SotR. To use V3 be fault, simply change 1 line of code:
["Default"] = 1,
to:
["Default"] = 3,
This edit will tell GSE addon to use V3 by default. Further, you can edit the file:
["Raid"] = 3,
["Mythic"] = 3,
This edit will tell GSE to use V3 in raids and Mythic (and M+) dungeons.
Finally, here is the code import:
Sequences['GH_Pal_Prot'] = {

Help = "Updated: 15th May '17 (7.2.0) Based on Rank 1 (Mythic HoV) talents, chosen proactively for maximum DPS. This macro includes two versions, V1 (Default) and V2 for Mythic and Raiding. By default, V1 will automate Shield of the Righteous (SotR); in Mythic and Raiding (V2) will not use SotR. In use: open with Avenging Wrath manually and use Blinding Light as needed. This addon does not attempt CDs. Finally, V3 includes Eye of Tyr artifact ability; to use V3 you will need to specify V3 as Default via GS in game or by editing Default = 1 to Default = 3 in this file.",

(Updated) Thanks for all the tremendous feedback and to anyone who contacted me in game! I am really enjoying Protection Paladin via this macro, and without the GSE addon and team this would not be possible! I main a Brewmaster monk but this macro allows me great DPS, very high burst and a lot of fun on my Palawin!
Best of luck, cheers
