Why combine defensive cooldowns in a single macro?
Combining defensive cooldowns allows for rapid activation of multiple abilities, reducing reaction time and increasing your effective survivability. This is especially useful in situations requiring immediate damage mitigation.
Are there any downsides to stacking defensive cooldowns?
The primary downside is potentially 'wasting' some of the cooldowns if the incoming damage isn't as severe as anticipated, leading to reduced uptime when they might be needed later. It's important to understand the typical damage patterns of encounters.
Can I add trinkets to these defensive macros?
Yes, you can incorporate on-use defensive trinkets into these macros using the /use command followed by the trinket's name. This further enhances burst survivability.
