Why is defensive layering important for Holy Paladins?
Defensive layering allows Holy Paladins to combine multiple protective abilities for greater resilience. This approach helps mitigate large incoming damage spikes and prolong survival, which is crucial for both the paladin and the raid group.
Can I use different potions in these macros?
Yes, you can substitute 'Potion of Mystical Healing' or 'Healthstone' with any other healing potion or consumable that suits your needs. Ensure the item name is spelled correctly in the macro.
How do I make these macros target allies for abilities like Lay on Hands?
Macros like the 'Guardian + Lay on Hands' example use conditional modifiers. Holding 'shift' while pressing the macro will cast Lay on Hands on your current target. If you wish to always cast it on yourself, you can remove the '[mod:shift,@target] Lay on Hands' part and keep '[@player] Lay on Hands'.
