Paladin macros

Paladins are the Gladiator’s job, trading raw mitigation for the strongest party-wide cooldowns in the game — Passage of Arms, Divine Veil and Hallowed Ground.

21 macros

Act on Your Focus Target
General
```
/micon "Your Action"
/merror off
/ac "Your Action" <f>
/ac "Your Action" <t>
```
<f> points an action at your focus target regardless of what you have selected. Set your co-tank or the enemy you need to watch as focus, and the macro becomes a permanent second target you can act on at will.
Announce the Limit Break
General
```
/p Taking LB <se.3>
```
Tells the party you are taking the limit break before you use it. Two people using it at once wastes the bar entirely, which makes the announcement the important half of this macro.
Clear Every Marker
General
```
/marking off <t>
/echo Markers cleared <se.1>
```
Wipes all target signs at once. Worth binding next to your marker macros, because stale markers from the last pull cause more confusion than no markers at all.
Clemency (Mouseover)
Paladin
```
/macroicon "Clemency"
/ac "Clemency" <mo>
/ac "Clemency" <t>
/ac "Clemency" <me>
```
Heals whoever is under your cursor, falling back to your target and then to yourself. Clemency is expensive, so the point of the macro is to stop you wasting it on the wrong person while the healer is dead.
Copy a Hotbar Between Jobs
General
```
/hotbar copy PLD 1 current 1
/echo Hotbar copied <se.1>
```
Copies one hotbar from another job onto the current one. Set your utility bar up once, then push it to every job instead of dragging icons forty times.
Cover (Mouseover)
Paladin
```
/macroicon "Cover"
/ac "Cover" <mo>
/ac "Cover" <2>
```
Takes the damage aimed at an ally within ten yalms. Cover has a very short window to be useful, so hovering the raid frame and pressing one key beats targeting them first.
How Waits Actually Work
General
```
/ac "First Action" <wait.3>
/ac "Second Action" <wait.2>
/echo Sequence finished <se.1>
```
A wait only accepts whole numbers from 1 to 60, and the game rounds your timing to the nearest second, which is why macros drift out of sync with the global cooldown. This is exactly why combat rotations should not be macroed, and why crafting rotations can be.
Intervention (Focus Target)
Paladin
```
/macroicon "Intervention"
/ac "Intervention" <f>
/ac "Intervention" <mo>
/ac "Intervention" <t>
```
Puts your co-tank mitigation on your focus target. Set your co-tank as focus at the start of the fight and this becomes a fire-and-forget button for every tank buster.
One-Key Gear Set Swap
General
```
/gearset change 3
/echo Switched gear set <se.1>
```
Changes to a numbered gear set and announces it to yourself. Crafters and gatherers who cycle through eleven jobs live on these — one macro per set, all on the same hotbar page.
Passage of Arms with Call-Out
Paladin
```
/macroicon "Passage of Arms"
/ac "Passage of Arms"
/p Passage up, stack behind me! <se.3>
```
Passage of Arms only works if the party stands behind you, so the call matters as much as the cast. This fires the ability and posts the reminder in party chat at the same time.
Set Kill Order Markers
General
```
/merror off
/marking attack1 <t>
```
Drops a numbered attack marker on your current target. Party leads keep one macro per marker so kill order can be set without opening the signs menu mid-pull.
Set Yourself Busy
General
```
/busy
/echo Status toggled <se.1>
```
Flips your online status to Busy so party finder invites and tells stop arriving mid-pull. Run the same line again to clear it.

Every job shares the same macro syntax, so a good idea usually ports across.
