With macros Stance dancing becomes same as Retail except Rage loss.
Will Blizzard make stance dancing Manual and prevent it from being baked in a macro?
I know Stance dancing is supposed to be done manually then a action associated with it, but Macros makes stance dancing so easy its hard to fathom.
Sir, this is an Arby’s.
I like laffy taffy.
…ummmm, 
They had stance dancing in vanilla, and you were easily able to do it with a macro. lmao
You can Prevent Rage loss by speccing in tactical mastery
The point of stance dancing is to look cool while you deliver the vengeance of war onto your pitiable enemies.
It’s to showcase your absolute dominance and mastery of multi-button rotation as you smite your low iq enemies using single button rotations into the dumpster.
I bound my stances to my mouse wheel. zerker stance roll wheel forward. Defensive roll wheel backward. Battle stance press it down. this was how i did it in vanilla and i never felt like i needed a macro
There are also a lot of abilities that you can use in multiple stances. For example, you can use execute in battle or berserker stance. You can screw yourself over if you decide to make a macro for execute that always swaps you to zerker for it. Same with hamstring.
Lots of classes have macros that make their abilities easier or quicker to use. Even if you use them, it’s not like it’s automated, and most of them require a double tap of the macro anyway, so it’s the same amount of button presses as having the stance itself on your bar.
Haggle likes cheese.
I mean, you can macro it if you like easy mode. Always been that way. Or you can just key bind the stances. Either way, the point is that it does have the effect of separating decent-to-good players from the bad players who don’t.
The same as retail? Doesn’t…retail just have defensive stance and you only hit it to take less damage and that’s it?
I can’t tell if you’re trolling or not.
The point of stance dancing isn’t that it’s supposed to be hard to do. The point of stances is the rage wipe when you swap, and therefore the “commitment” to a stance when you fight. The talent tactical mastery gives you a maximum rage manage before swapping so that no rage is wasted on the swap.
The swapping itself isn’t the important mechanic; the important mechanic is rage management.
Stance dancing doesn’t have a purpose. That is why it doesn’t exist in retail. It is the same reason why everything is on the gcd now. If you don’t macro it you can’t function.
You read my mind?
I did? lol in what regard?
ROFL
In Retail you don’t even have the abilities or the stances. You’re basically picking your stance when you pick your spec, and all your abilities are specific to that.
Stance dancing in Vanilla/Classic exists because we’re not locked into only one spec, stance, set of abilities.
Macros help a lot, but it is possible to stance dance manually. It’s awkward, though, and a lot of extra time making sure you get each step right, during which you’re less focused on the action happening.
Believe me, I don’t have macros set up yet, and it is a lot more painful to tank without them. If YOU personally want hard mode, don’t create the macros. Me? After last night’s tanking adventure in RFK (level 34 at the time), getting macros set up is on my to-do-soon list.
Try the mouse wheel. It works great… macros can take some of the flexibility away from skills that can be used in multiple stances.
You 100% are doing it wrong if you think that.
That would drive me batty, actually. I have a free-moving wheel, and use it to adjust camera distance (not just in WOW). Plus, when I think macros, I think more than just swapping stance. For swapping stance only, keybinds are more than adequate.
