pally addons

I was wondering if anyone kew of any good pally tanking mods

[robthedude]

TankPoints is very helpful in selecting gear

and this macro -

/cast [help,nodead][target=targettarget,help,nodead] Righteous Defense

usually with Righteous Defence you have to target the player that is being attacked, with this macro you target the mob thats doing the attacking and it targets the mob's target

That was alot of complex work for a simple macro tho.

i use the same one only mine is like this (this requires me to click the attacking mob):
/assist
/cast Righteous Defense

no the other hand, as for mods, i recommend pallypower. If you used the old style mod called buffAhoy then this is the mod for you. It essentially allows you to set up buffs for all classes and left click for 15min buffs or right click on the popup frame (closely attached to the main bar interface) for the 5 min buff. The other good thing about this mod is that it works great for raids and groups with more than 1 paladin. (if all paladins have this mod) its built to be able to communicate with others using the same mod so you can cooperate to set up buffs.
Also when you are soloing, all you see of the mod that actually shows its actually active is a tiny tiny button glowing red or green (pending on if the button is locked or not)

super, wonderful, great, only thing is, it'll change your target... you could add another /assist to the end of it, but there's no guarantee that your groupmate was targeting the mob that was attacking him, so who knows what you'll end up attacking?

trust me, mine's perfect

He does know what he's talking about though.

and how would I paste that into the game?

[Seerah]

Open up your macro interface (either hit escape and click on "Macros" or type /macro

Click New - type in a name for the macro and select an icon for it

Copy-paste the macro into the code box, drag the macro (from the top section of the window) to your bars


Note: you can have the macro show your information for Righteous Defense by selecting the ? icon and by putting this into the first line of the code above the /cast part:

#showtooltip Righteous Defense

So then, the whole macro would look like this (on 2 lines):

#showtooltip Righteous Defense
/cast [help,nodead][target=targettarget,help,nodead] Righteous Defense

That way, you'll have the Righteous Defense tooltip instead of a macro tooltip that just says the name of your macro.
