Why should I macro my burst rotation as a Protection Paladin?
Macroing your burst rotation streamlines the activation of multiple abilities and trinkets, ensuring they are used concurrently for maximum impact. This reduces the chance of mismanaging cooldowns and helps maintain optimal threat and damage output.
What trinkets should I use in my burst macro?
You should use any on-use offensive trinkets that provide a beneficial stat primary or secondary stat increase during your burst window. The specific trinket will depend on what is currently best in slot for your character.
Can I include defensive cooldowns in my burst macro?
While the primary goal of a burst macro is offensive, you can include defensive cooldowns like Guardian of Ancient Kings if you anticipate taking heavy damage during your burst, or if the defensive cooldown also provides an offensive benefit.
