FAQ

Why use separate macros for each defensive ability?

Although possible to combine, separate macros provide flexibility. This allows you to choose the most appropriate defensive for the current threat without wasting other valuable cooldowns.

Can I combine these defensive abilities into one button?

You can use castsequence macros to combine defensives, but this can be restrictive. It's generally better to have individual control over each powerful cooldown to react optimally to varied damage patterns.

When should I use Dampen Harm versus Diffuse Magic?

Dampen Harm is best for large, infrequent hits of any damage type. Diffuse Magic excels against consistent magic damage and dispelling harmful magic debuffs.
