Good sequence for threat.

[mysticshadow]

Here's a few new macros / sequences that I use for building threat when tanking.

/castsequence Icy Touch, Icy Touch, Blood Tap, Icy Touch, Empower Rune Weapon, Icy Touch,  Icy Touch,  Icy Touch

You can make it a macro and mash the button or you can press them in that order. It's only good for intial threat it'll build it extremely high after that go back you your regular order.

My regular sequence after the macro is Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Blood Strike, Blood Strike, Obliterate, Frost Strike. Rinse Repeat.

For AOE groups I do not use the macro; I use DnD, Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Pestilence, Blood Boil, Blood boil, Howling Blast. Rinse Repeat.

The only macros you should have as a tank are:

/castsequence Icy Touch, Icy Touch, Blood Tap, Icy Touch, Empower Rune Weapon, Icy Touch,  Icy Touch,  Icy Touch

Make a macro for each attack in the sequence.

For example:
When I use Icey Touch I have this instead of regular Icy Touch in its place.

#showtooltip
/cast Icy Touch(Rank 5)
/cast Rune Strike

I add Rune strike to Obilterate, Pestilence, Blood Strike, Blood boil, Howling Blast, Icy Touch, and Plague Strike. This way everytime Rune Strike is available I will at some point cast it during another cast.

Let me know if you have any questions.

instead of /cast Rune Strike

change it to   /cast !Rune Strike

if you use this version it will not un-queue rune strike when you spam it. and will only queue it up when it has not been queued


#showtooltip Icy Touch
/startattack
/petattack
/cast !Rune Strike
/cast Icy Touch

another usefull tank dk macro (frost)

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=5 Blood Tap, Bone Armor

or for (blood)

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=13 Vampiric Blood, Rune Tap
/cast Blood Tap

but your right binding it to all your other abilities ensures its used whenever its available

i dont bind mine to a castsequence tho unless ive already blown my blood tap or ERW
spaming the bitch out of icy touch at the start is an awesome way to establish very solid agro
with tricks misdirects and that i was seeing upwards of 30K+ Threat per second on some fights
