soo. after catching up and then reading the last post, I assume the very first post is updated and good. We dont need to worry about the 2nd or 3rd or any other posts to get this to work.
Is there anyway I can macro this into my mouse buttons with autohotkey or another program?
I would probably attribute the loss from manual to macro on the lost HP procs that would be used on SotR on manual, I usually just tap my SotR hotkey if i’m pooling too fast while sera is on CD, there is no way to build the procs into the macro.
As far as lag on CS and Judge, spam faster :). There is no way to make a true priority with any addon at the moment. This is pretty damned close, problem is it needs to spam super fast, I spam it at a .04 second interval.
If you have the software for a hardware macro, that is fine, I use a razer macro. Not sure about the autohotkey as that is strictly software autofiring and may be a little on the iffy side EULA wise. Don’t quote me on it though, I’ve never used a software only macro. Hardware is 100% legit tho.
Correct, reference the first post for updates from now on.
I’d love to be able to give this a go but for the life of me I cant get it working.
Have the latest version of GS, have copied and pasted pretty much all the versions on here and replaced all the ’ with ’ (?)
Whatever I do it still spits out the “Failed to load sequences.lua.” Even though it was working just fine till I decided to change my prot macro.
Why is it so hard to make life easier?
Even deleting any mention of a “prot” macro has stopped all other character’s macros from working.
Fantastic

Delete everything except for the first line, the “do not touch” line.
Copy and paste from the first post, no editing, straight copy paste.

I have started using two different versions depending on what group I’m in. One for raiding and one for things where I over-midigate, like heroic dungeons and I can afford to increase the DPS a lot.
Using either of these you should have 0 threat issues, competitive DPS, and excellent midigation. As always, pre-cast sacred shield, and make sure you are using Blessing of Might if the mastery buff isn’t provided elsewhere. The stat weights are located at the bottom of this post.
This first macro is the raid tanking macro. It is all about the self healing, active midigation and general ability to take hits. It is used with the talent spec, 3,2,3,2,3,3,2 and produces the best TMI numbers, all based on TheckPhd’s research over at maintankadin.com/sacredduty.com. Glyphs are Divine Protection, Alabaster and Consecrator. Always run Seal of Insight.
Raid Macro – Holy Shield
Sequences['Prot'] = {
StepFunction = [[
limit = limit or 1
if step == limit then
limit = limit % #macros + 1
step = 1
else
step = step % #macros + 1
end
]],
PreMacro = [[
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
]],
'/cast [nomod] Crusader Strike',
'/cast [mod] Hammer of the Righteous',
'/castsequence Sacred Shield,Judgment,Judgment,Judgment',
"/cast Avenger's Shield",
'/cast [nomod,@player] Execution Sentence',
'/cast [mod] Execution Sentence',
'/cast Hammer of Wrath',
'/cast Consecration',
'/cast Holy Wrath',
PostMacro = [[
/cast Shield of the Righteous
/cast divine protection
/startattack
/use [combat]13
/use [combat]14
/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide();
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
]],
}
Mod key switches to the “trash” AOE sequence.
This next macro is for when you want to make mages cry with your DPS in heroics and early raid bosses where you out midigate the encounter.
High DPS Tanking Macro – Seraphim
Sequences['Sera'] = {
StepFunction = [[
limit = limit or 1
if step == limit then
limit = limit % #macros + 1
step = 1
else
step = step % #macros + 1
end
]],
PreMacro = [[
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
]],
'/cast [mod] Crusader Strike',
'/cast [nomod] Hammer of the Righteous',
'/castsequence Sacred Shield,Judgment,Judgment,Judgment',
"/cast Avenger's Shield",
'/cast [mod,@player] Execution Sentence',
'/cast [nomod] Execution Sentence',
'/cast Hammer of Wrath',
'/cast Consecration',
'/cast Holy Wrath',
PostMacro = [[
/castsequence Seraphim, Shield of the Righteous, Shield of the Righteous, Shield of the Righteous
/cast divine protection
/startattack
/use [combat]13
/use [combat]14
/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide();
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
]],
}
The only change to setup is swapping Holy Shield as the T7 talent to Seraphim. This macro produces insane DPS, and you should be switch between Truth and Righteous seals depending on the amount of enemies.
The default, no modkey state of this macro is setup for AOE trash with burst DPS from ES and very little self healing as you are using Seal of the Righteous. When you get to the boss, hold a mod key and you will self heal with ES and switch to single target DPS rotation. Remember to swap to truth or insight depending on your healer and gear.
Stat Weights:
Main Hand DPS: 0.2
Bonus Armor: 1
Stamina: 0.75
Strength: 0.75
Armor: 0.6
Mastery: 0.6
Versatility: 0.46
Critical Strike: 0.45
Multistrike: 0.4
Haste (up to 50%): 0.35
Attack Power: 0.2
Avoidance: 0.1
Leech: 0.05
While STR and STA are very high on the weights, you should not be gearing for it specifically, your regular gear will provide more than enough, if given the option, on something like a trinket, take a secondary stat over STR or STA.
All of your gemming and enchanting should be to mastery. It is our best midigator and also works well with serphim.

i having a huge problem with this macro in the form of it will NEVER cast Crusader Strike/Hammer of The Righteous everything els works like a charm but those 2 will never pop any idea why?
I can’t think of a reason why those two would not fire. I know a lot of people use this without issue. Double check your spelling and make sure you are using an english based client, spell names are different on other language clients. Make sure you are in prot spec. I can’t think of any other reason why those two wouldn’t fire, but everything else would except maybe a range or target issue on your part.
I’m having issues with the Sera macro as well. The Prot one works like a charm. When I used the Sera one, none of my abilities that use HP will fire off. The HP building works, but It’ll get max HP and just sit there. Not sure why.
Hardware “time delay” macros are against the eula. At least it was according to a blue post a little over a year ago. (I doubt this has changed.) Can blizzard detect this, or even care for using it as a tool to help you dps/raid? probably not, but just be aware it is against the eula to use 1 button press and hold, or 1 button press (and another click to turn off, hardware based macro.)
The rule reads (paraphrasing from memory here a little bit): “1 button click per action is REQUIRED.” This is why standing on the correct side of the EULA rules, using a mouse wheel is the best way to use these macros, as scrolling a mouse wheel is much faster “clicks” than trying to spam a key on a keyboard.
Which leads me to the last post, if Healme’s ideas for making your macro work; fail to fix the problem for you, try instead mapping the macro to your mouse scroll wheel and try spamming it that way, it could be you are just not spamming the macro fast enough.
G’Day and thanks for all the hard work and testing that has gone into the sequences.
Please confirm that post #19179 is the up to date and best current sequence to use.
Many thanks again, your efforts are appreciated.

I’m a mod now, so I can edit my posts. The first post of the thread is up to date.
That is intended, in the worst case scenerio you will still have minimal sera downtime, but, in best case, you’re going to be sitting at max HP, just tap SotR, it is a non-CD move and can be used at anytime.
Updated first post of the thread as of Jan 17
Can you explain what the function of /use [combat]13 /use [combat]14 ?.
Ty for the Macro

Those use your trinkets, if you have useable ones, on CD.
Healme, Any thoughts toward a dueling or pvp build/macro? Do you agree with the noxxic build or, if you were so inclined, where else would you look for gugidance?
And before anyone jumps in and says pvp is too fluid for macros, I’m aware it wouldn’t be a perfect solution any more than a lazy macro is a perfect solution for pve.

Never really been in inclined to do pvp macros. I’m sure I could make one that would work rather well as it is mainly based around burst and disabling, but as it is more directly competitive play I would say it leans on the side of cheating.

Hadn’t thought about it that way. Thanks for answering though.
@Healme
I see that you have Sanctified Wrath instead of Divine Purpose!.
Should i switch ?
