Paladin Impressions

Currently, with the setup I'm running, I'm using a paladin as my brain character. I just wanted to jot down some quick impressions and macro's i'm using.

Macros

Judge Macro
#show Judgement
/cast Judgement
/cast Seal of Righteousness

Righteous Defense
#show Righteous Defense
/cast [target=targettarget, exists, help][] Righteous Defense

Redemption (rez macro)
MACRO 16777219 "Rez" INV_Misc_QuestionMark
#show Redemption
/cast [target=toon1, dead, help][target=toon2, dead, help][target=toon3, dead, help][target=toon4, dead, help][] Redemption

Details after the break

The Redemption macro I think speaks for itself. Simply finds dead people in my party and resurrects them. Very nice macro to put in for any class with a rez. Especially if you have a druid since you can pop their rez in combat.

The Judge macro is very standard even for non-boxing, and the Righteous Defense macro is pretty standard took, allowing me to taunt without selecting which of my toons pulled agro.

My overall impression of paladin macros is that there are not a lot of things that get simplified for paladin tanking, at least early in the levels via macros. There is a macro I have envisioned for a bit later that I think will be a nice addition, but I need a few levels.

/castrandom Holy Shield, Consecrate, Judgement

This will, in theory, cast these 3 great tanking spells when spammed and take into account things like cooldowns. The great part about castrandom is that it will skip any spell that is on cooldown.

Overall I'd say that as a multiboxing tank, Paladins are the best but I think anyone who's done any research knows that already.

The one thing I haven't bothered to macro is an emergency key such as casting BOP or a Bubble/Heal combo, etc. Soon as I get Divine Intervention that will be macro'd similar to my rez macro.
