Slowdog's Elune's Chosen M+ V2 | 12.1 Guardian Tank Macro

Overview Slowdog's Elune's Chosen M+ V2 is a Guardian Druid tank macro built around the Elune's Chosen hero talent tree for Mythic+, rebuilt to fix a real casting bug rather than a tuning pass. Maul, this build's core rage spender, was silently failing to cast through GRIP's Sequential engine on the previous version, a GRIP-EMS bug independently confirmed by other builders and fixed upstream in v2.4.4. This version routes Maul, Lunar Beam, and Incarnation through castsequence pairs instead of bare casts, which restores real Maul uptime and gives natural fallthrough to a filler ability when the primary cast isn't available yet. What it does Maul now runs inside /castsequence [nochanneling] Maul, Mangle instead of a bare cast, so a click that lands when Maul isn't castable falls through to Mangle instead of getting wasted on a dead cast. The same pairing covers Lunar Beam with Thrash and Incarnation with Thrash, both long-cooldown casts that spent most of their step visits doing nothing under the old bare-cast structure. Ironfur holds two dedicated slots to maintain uptime without overspending rage that Maul needs. Thrash and Mangle each get three slots as the core rotational generators. Moonfire fills the last slot. Modifiers Shift is Frenzied Regeneration. Ctrl is Barkskin, time it to incoming damage rather than letting it fire passively. KeyPress also carries a Bear Form check on every step, so the macro self-corrects if you're caught out of form rather than failing silently. What's not in it Skull Bash, Growl, Stampeding Roar, and any interrupt/utility abilities are manual and should be bound separately. Setup Import the GRIP string via /gems import, load the talent string in the Talents panel, drag it to your bar, and bind it. Confirm you're on GRIP-EMS v2.4.4 or later before testing; earlier versions carry the Maul casting bug this build works around. Validation Tested on 12.1, Elune's Chosen M+ build, GRIP-EMS v2.4.4. Maul converted to 2-8 real casts per fight across four separate live pulls (LFR, a full Mythic 0 clear, and trash), a meaningful recovery from zero real casts on the prior bare-cast version tested under the same conditions. Ironfur uptime held 93-98% across all test pulls. Lunar Beam and Incarnation still convert well under their nominal slot share since both sit behind real cooldowns longer than this loop's cycle time, that's expected and not a bug.
