Hey guys, I’m back again, and this time here’s my Gladiator Stance / Protection Warrior Macro! Since I’m a mythic difficulty raider, I tailored this macro around using the best talents, and abilities possible… and at the right moments. Of course, not everything in this macro can be automated 100% and make you top DPS / Tank at a competitive level (it just makes things easier), that’s just impossible for ANY macro on this website. Now, on to the nitty gritty stuff.
1.) Talents:
Double Time: Should be your default choice.
Enraged Regeneration: Should be your default choice.
Unyielding Strikes: Should be your default choice.
Storm Bolt: Single target fights. / Dragon Roar: Fights with more than 1 target.
Vigilance: Should be your default choice.
Bloodbath: Single target fights. / Bladestorm: Fights with more than 1 target.
Gladiator’s Resolve: Only option.
2.) Glyphs:
Glyph of Unending Rage: Should be your default choice.
Glyph of Cleave: Should be your default choice. It pairs perfectly with your Unyielding Strikes talent.
Third Glyph: Purely situational.
3.) The Macro:
If you wish to activate / deactivate certain abilities in this macro (see the Blood Fury line for example), simply add or remove the “–” before the desired line inside the macro. Certain abilities or items, you will need to fire off manually… such as: your DPS / Tank potion, Thunder Clap, Bladestorm, all defensive / mobility abilities, and most importantly… your Berserker Rage / Shield Block.
IMPORTANT: If you want your DPS / Tanking to be as optimal as it can be with this macro, be sure to have good control and uptime on your Enrage / Shield Block buffs… hence leaving Berserker Rage out of the macro, and putting Shield Block on a modifier. Leaving out Berserker Rage will ensure you have a backup to your Shield Slams, Devastates, and Blocks, not being critical strikes. Putting Shield Block on a modifier will ensure you have full control of when you need to block a high damage ability, or when you need your burst to do more damage. I’ve seen too many times where other people’s macros will use Shield Block when your Shield Slam, and Revenge have just gone on cooldown, wasting precious burst time.
NOTE: Hold the Shield Block mod to block an incoming high damage ability, or when you need your burst to do more damage. Hold the Heroic Strike mod to dump rage, or simply play off of your Unyielding Strikes talent (this mod will have very high uptime once you get ramped up).
ENJOY!!!
