Is there a way to macro this in order to have it use revenge and then heroic strike when Rev is on CD? Thus taking advantage of the glyph free rage HS.

does :

/cast revenge
/cast heroic strike

Do it?

I am a major league noob at macros.

[bludwork]

that will work.

Note that in low rage situations you'll be dumping all rage on an unnecesary heroic strike (when you could use that same rage for shockwave/shieldslam). For high rage (boss fights) it would work well as a rage dump.

Since I have been chain pulling like a mad fool since I joined beta and since 3.0- low rage situations are less frequent. But yes I agree.

And ty.

BTW: We did heroic botanica last night to finish the achievements and by the request of our priest he wanted me to pull all the mobs in front of the 3rd boss- the one that looks like Ilhoof. I did (obviuosly w/out the buff that increases there damage) and I actually ended up with 3K DPS for that pull- damage shield and TC and shockwave where doing insane damage. We are all in 5/8 T6- was a lot of fun.

How does this look:
/cast [active:Glyph of Revenge] Heroic Strike
/cast Shield Slam

saw this on:

Tanking is dead @ WarriorTanking.com

looks interesting

[huggy77]

Wouldnt the glyph mean that the revenge costs no rage?

[Ivisi]

No, the Glyph of Revenge grants you a free Heroic Strike when it procs on a Revenge.

The glyph says after using revenge your next heroic strike will cost no rage.. it doesn't say anything about a proc..

active is not a condition, basically you can't do it. The problem with the OPs macro is it only works *sometimes* if your autoattack just occurs after revenge. Otherwise it would try to cast heroic strike before you get the glyph buff.

QFT, this can't be emphasized enough. Combining revenge and heroic strike in a macro won't work too well because it will not always consume the free heroic strike. Depending on your swing timer, pressing the macro may cause you to perform a heroic strike immediately, then revenge. In this case you'll actually heroic strike before getting the free heroic strike buff.

So you are in fact wasting rage instead of maximizing it half of the time, which quite defeats the purpose of the macro. (Unless that purpose is having to press less buttons instead of increasing effectiveness).

IMO, the best macro i have found for this is :

#show
#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=2 Revenge, !Heroic Strike


This is a 2 click macro, first click cast Rev (no risk of applying HS off the proc) then the icon switch to HS. You press it and it cast it once, it will go back to Rev just after or after 2sec if you did not use it.

I believe the "!" is used for 1 cast ?

[Caelis]

Cedix, that macro will work just fine. The "!" disables toggling for abilities. For example, using

/cast Auto Shot

may turn off your Auto Shot if you are already using Auto Shot. Using

/cast !Auto Shot

will prevent this from happening.

"!" should not be necessary for heroic strike as it is not an ability that can be toggled.

I was using revenge/HS macro for a week but I found it quite annoying when soloing or in low-rage situations. Even if it costs no rage, it still consumes your next normal attack leaving you completely dependant on incoming attacks to generate rage.

It works like a charm. Yesterday I set the reset=2 to reset=4 and think it works better. It gives you the time to use Shieldslam first when it's up, without missing the 2 second window to cast the free HS. Also it's within the 5 sec CD on revenge, so you can use that any time it's up. Im just wondering why the original timer was set on 2 seconds? Anyone got any clue, because maybe i just made a silly change without knowing it.

[sirloin]

the problem with /castsequence is you cannot spam HS while revenge is on cooldown.As the macro will stop if an ability cant function, there isnt any use in having the reset less than the CD on revenge.reset=4..reset=2 makes no difference,as revenge has 5 sec CD.

however using /castsquence will make sure you dont HS BEFORE revenge.

[Bodasafa]

I typed up this for my guild to explain this macro and the things that work with it.

Glyph of Revenge.
-After casting revenge if you cast heroic strike within 10seconds your heroic strike costs no rage.

Glyph of Heroic Strike.
-When your heroic strike crits you gain 10 rage.

Incite
-In the prot tree this talent increases your chance to crit with heroic strike, cleave and thunderclap.

Revenge/HS Macro
-Create a macro that says:
/cast Revenge
/cast Heroic Strike

Now when you hit that macro 3 things happen all at once:
1) You cast revenge
2) You proc your rage free heroic strike
3) You cast heroic strike

And from your Incite talent you have a stronger chance to crit with your heroic strike and then gain 10 rage from the Glyph.

This basically replaces the need to have revenge and heroic strike on your action bars because the macro will light up when revenge is up. If you hit the macro button when it is not lit up you will only cast Heroic Strike and it will cost you rage, so dont do that unless you only want to cast a rage costing HS.

Using the macro/talent and glyphs like this will generate a ton of threat/damage and gives you a good chance at free rage

[Dizzy]

That's why I was using the other macro. That prevents you casting HS, except after a revenge.
But still thanks for your explanation

edit - after Wafflehouse posted on my blog, changed to
/castsequence reset=2 Revenge, Heroic Strike

seems to work pretty good, and I understand more of the above now =D

-> so we've decided reset=n, n itself really doesn't matter? [2,4]
-> it also sounds like there's no real point/use in including '!'?

[Ruell]

Thanks for this thread. I had been like Crommi and trying out the standard first posted macro this last week but found I was getting a lot of "not enough rage" messages. I'll try the latest one out this week.
