Protection Warrior ST/AOE v. 2.0 (updated 10/16/2022) Naxx edition

UPDATE: 10/16/2022: I have main tanked NAXX 25 with this macro now, no issues.

This macro is what I’m using to tank dungeons and raids. It has ST as it’s baseline and AOE with modifiers (TC + Battle Shout + Demo Shout). Mouseover target while holding will intercept in combat.

I run this at 100ms (updated from 250ms) and have the timing working well.

The build I’m using is in the macro (15/5/53).

This macro will automatically cast Revenge on proc. I use the Glyph of Revenge for the free Heroic Strike, so that happens every time a Revenge happens – this is in place of Glyph of Taunt. It’ll then cast defensive items on cooldown while stacking devastates. It’ll charge if out of combat, and intervene on mouseover in combat. I’m not sure how dramatic of a change losing the free heroic strike would be for gaining an 8% taunt chance addition, but I’m going through higher content and will invariably find out.

Single Target:

  • Charge
  • Hold key
  • Profit

General playstyle for AOE:

  • Charge
  • Hold ALT until you see Demo on the mobs (Thunder Clap, Battle Shout - Demo Shout)
  • Tab Target while Cleaving
  • Hold ALT again
  • Repeat

This method usually will hold just about everything, even from overzealous AOE DPS.

UPDATE: The macro now also has weakaura and better uptime.

Hi , i switched from arms to prot for testing your macro. I am so happy with it. Prot is so much fun. Thank you for your work, have a nice weekend.

Thank you sir! /20char

Where is a macrio plz ?

I take it this is not used in GSE?

Fixed. I somehow got the wrong copy/pasta there. Enjoy! :smiley:

Thank you I will test it on now.

Hello,

Great macro! But where can i find the build u use? with glyphs etc

Thanks for this, its awesome, the one change I made was to remove Battle Shout from the threat gen because I mostly cast Commanding Shout before engaging.

Any chance you could do a Fury Warrior version of this?

I use the shouts as part of AOE Threat generation. It has a great coefficient when paired with Thunderclap and Demo.

I don’t really PvE DPS, mainly tank and PvP, but I will work on a Fury set in the next few weeks.

I’m having problems, when I press shift my macro stops spamming the button, the same happens when I press alt. Has anyone experienced this or know of a solution?

Do you have those buttons bound to something else that is conflicting? The macro is tuned to run at 250ms, so running it faster may require some retuning. I just cleared Naxx 25m as the main tank last night using this.

I’ve made one and have been using it for Heroics (posted on the main WOTLK Warrior page). I am main tanking naxx so I don’t have a chance to test it in raids yet.

For some reason it wont let me drag the macro icon to action bar its a spell book thought is was the equip part in the macro cause i dont have those weapons yet! any ideas why i cant put it on my bars?

Nvm forgot that having maximum amount of macros will not let GSE create the macro u import DOH!

would it be possible to make these macros into single target and aoe macros rather than mods? as i really stuggle with them due to limmited hand mobility

i donkt know why but marco do not switch to Battle stance

Talents I use don’t require battle stance for anything, so I removed the swap. You can add it back in if you’d like on the Pre or Post variables. I was losing rage with battle stance swaps, and being able to charge/intercept/intervene from Defensive due to talents made it useless to swap.

i love your macro so far, this thing is so smooth.
