Comments on: The Absolute Must Have Intervene Macro http://www.tankingtips.com/2007/05/30/the-absolute-must-have-intervene-macro/ A guide to tanking as a warrior in world of warcraft Wed, 03 Dec 2008 07:09:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: Jothay http://www.tankingtips.com/2007/05/30/the-absolute-must-have-intervene-macro/#comment-1307 Jothay Sun, 09 Mar 2008 09:58:08 +0000 http://www.tankingtips.com/2007/05/30/the-absolute-must-have-intervene-macro/#comment-1307 Here's what I use as a global "Run for it" macro: #showtooltip /cast [stance:1,combat] Berserker Stance; [stance:2] Intervene; [stance:3] Intercept; [stance:2,nocombat] Battle Stance; [stance:1,nocombat] Charge 1. If you are in combat already and in Battle Stance (stance:1) it will switch you to Berserker stance. 2. If you are not in combat and/or not in Battle Stance but are in Defensive Stance (stance:2) it will Intervene - I click this twice from defensive stance and it does the [target=targettarget, help] seemingly automatically 3. If you are in Battle Stance and not in combat, it is assuming that you want to Charge the target to begin combat and build rage All of this together makes one macro button you can share amongst your separated stance action bar "pages". If you are like me, you keep several bars open at once that remain constant and only a few stance dependant items paged. Here’s what I use as a global “Run for it” macro:

#showtooltip
/cast [stance:1,combat] Berserker Stance; [stance:2] Intervene; [stance:3] Intercept; [stance:2,nocombat] Battle Stance; [stance:1,nocombat] Charge

1. If you are in combat already and in Battle Stance (stance:1) it will switch you to Berserker stance.
2. If you are not in combat and/or not in Battle Stance but are in Defensive Stance (stance:2) it will Intervene
- I click this twice from defensive stance and it does the [target=targettarget, help] seemingly automatically
3. If you are in Battle Stance and not in combat, it is assuming that you want to Charge the target to begin combat and build rage

All of this together makes one macro button you can share amongst your separated stance action bar “pages”. If you are like me, you keep several bars open at once that remain constant and only a few stance dependant items paged.

The focus idea probably still has advantages but hey, I've been using a Misdirect macro on my hunter for months and months that includes the line /target *name of tank* so yeah, not like I can talk, lol.

You can add a bunchof other stuff about stances and tooltips and whatnot, but for pure functionality, those two lines are all you need. /tar *name of healer*
/cast intervene

Nothing complicated. You can add a bunchof other stuff about stances and tooltips and whatnot, but for pure functionality, those two lines are all you need.

No macro is needed for Intervene at all. Just press the button while your targetting the boss/mob whom you lost aggro from. As the post above says. No macro is needed for Intervene at all.
