would be better. That you could spam, since it wouldn't do anything until Judgement was up, thus not constantly casting Seal of Command.
That would work, and I used that for a while actually. I like mine because i can use it to case SoC when it's not up and don't need to have another slot for SoC on my bar. you just need to remember that it does that and you won't waste you mana. A better way if you want a sequence like that would be
/castsequence [reset=30] Seal of Command, Judgement
that one will cast Seal of Command first and then judgement, but if you don't cast judgement in the time the seal expires, it'll reset to Seal of Command. I still like mine cause it's a one key press macro. that one you have to hit twice. Seal of Command is much more important than the Judgement, so I prefer to make sure Seal of Commnad is always up by making it quicker to get up again.

What makes him decent? Well he knows that maximizing dps is more than just "look I crit for 4k!!!". He can BoP, Cleanse, BoF, and stun within the space of the cool downs. He can react split second and drop a heal or stun a mob. No fumbling, no uncertainty, no "I forgot I could do that".
You get so many Ret-ards out there that just want to play a warrior and fail, or have a dps rotation that relies on SoComm and swings with CS. Guys with blue weapons in S1 gear and Warrior epics who have no mana pool, and who fumble for 3 seconds trying to remember how to cleanse.
I agree. There so much one could say about different situations you find yourself in that I admit I tend to be someone basic in my suggestions. I give the basic building blocks from where a Ret can start and let them determine when to use what spells and abilities to maximize their usefullness. To give a how to of every situation for ret isn't quick or easy. It's not like a lock that's just Fear DoT DoT DoT no matter the situation... I'll think about adding a few examples of when to do what... I don't like those in general though. People who read them too often just take those as the gospel truth and never play around with what really works or doesn't work.
Oh, and tell me again whats wrong with a basic dps rotation of SoC, autoattack and CS? Those are the building blocks of Ret DPS. Every other spell we use ranks behind those for possible sources of dps and should be added as needed.
So basicaly kazump, research the usefulness of the stats and spells related to being a pally and play around with what works best and when...
