I have been trying out a bunch of the macros here. Thank you, all creators and testers! I went ahead and made several of my own and or modifications of others on the site. Give them a try please. Leave Feedback, so adjustments can be made.
My gear is Non-Tier now (running no T20 or T21), just high ilv. stuff. Keep this in mind. Leg. are Head and Execute Ring.
The first macro is the classic “Rend” build.
REND: (cleave was added as a filler as an attempt to maintain correct timing of Rend), I have another version, however, rend is cast too many times. Note: I like to use ravager with this build most of the time, and SS as needed. The “Alpha” macro on the site is very good as well.
Sequences['Opalasc_Rend'] = {
-- This Sequence was exported from GSE 2.2.03.
Author="Opalasc_Magtheridon",
SpecID=71,
Talents = "1/3,3,2,2,3,2,2/3",

Next is a macro that is a modification from a very recent post here, Overpower. I do enjoy this quite a bit. Very little downtime, and seems faster paced. DPS is very close to my Rend macro. This does use “Trauma.”

},
}
The last macro is my TRAUMA/FOB macro. It’s my thought from reading, etc. this will be very good once in T21 gear. HOWEVER, this does perform very well on Raid encounters with lots of adds. For example, High Command. I used this on the second week of the opening of Antorus raid (Normal). Again, with no tier gear, ilv. 936ish, I pushed 1.7mil, bursting very, very high at times. Also great for clearing the trash. Mind you, that I’m not a pro, and it was using this macro. Use Ravager and sweeping strikes as well. I would advise not to use this on a single-target boss until you can test with T21. Use the Rend or Overpower build. Note, when using this macro on heavy add bosses, make sure to tab-target each add to apply trauma as you go. Good build for High Command, Eonar, Portal Keeper (if not doing portals).

Final notes: During testing in Order Hall, buffs/consumables were NOT used. All tested on “Raid” Target Dummy. Even with these macros … Rend build, specifically, I find myself under-performing given my ilv. Perhaps it’s tier gear (lack of) or stats need to be adjusted.
As far as macro use, I keybind my main macro (one of the above) to “R”, and my execute to "X.” Keyboard is a Corsair K70. All other abilities are also keybound, ie. MS (“F”), CS (“G”), Rend (Macro to my mouse) … and so on. The above macros are used, but if a priority ability has not been used and is ready a keybound stroke is used immediately. I prefer to control my own use of Ravager/Bladestorm and Battle Cry.
Please test them, in LFR, or Raid Target Dummy. Report Back please ???
(Hoping that I “Blocked” the macros correctly, first post!
