Dread Knight — Macros
Mirrored from The Telon Project. Skills and spells are deliberately not mirrored — those are held as Dread Knight abilities, which carries more than the wiki table does.
If you plan to do mentoring sometimes, it is advised to not use "/reactionchain <n>" or "/reactioncounter <n>" or "/reactionrescue <n>", because those numbers get changed around if you mentor, while "/cast" works (almost) perfectly by selecting the correct lower ability.
To disable lines from a macro, you can just remove/reinsert the initial "/" from them.
Lifetap
A very common macro, used from level 10 on, is the lifetap:
/cast "Shadow Step" - You get it at level 10
/cast "Harrow I" - You get it at level 8, but without Shadow Step, its utterly useless because it requires being behind the target and as a tank you rarely are. Harrow upgrades until it reaches its final level VII at level 55.
Rescue
The most crucial macro in a group or raid scenario is probably the rescue. To make rescues work, they need to have the mob in question as offensive target and the player attacked as defensive target. This can be done quickly by using the command /assistoffensive on all classes with rescue skills. This is the level 50+ version for the Dread Knight of this macro:
/assistoffensive
/cast "Seething Hatred III"
/cast "Scourge IV"
Hate
Adding hate to a mob is crucial for holding aggro. DPS and Healing classes will add their own aggro due to high damage and healing so you will need to use certain abilities to be higher on the hate list. This macro will aid in adding hate to your mob:
/cast "Provoke IV"
/cast "Dreadful Visage III"
/cast "Backlash II"
/cast "Dark Ward III"
/cast "Vexing Strike VII"
