I have recently gotten into the fun of PVP play over the last couple of weeks. Im looking for advice. Right now i have been having pretty good success with the following macro
intimidate
center of being
lunge 1
scatter 3
scatter 3
scatter 3
This seems to be pretty effective but im sure there must be better. Can anyone offer a few tips?

I think I can help you........In my opinion and in my experiences this is what has worked for me, and most of all I do is PvP, and more and more of it heh. btw anyways:
1. I start with a CoB macro, that hits CoB right when it runs out.
2. Honestly I don't ever use macros....I know many say they do, but this is why**
**with the lunge skill if it doesnt work, you just continue hitting them when they are standing, but then again most would say then have it there 2-3 times in the macro, ok well what if it does work, with lunge one, they would kneel, then go prone....then stand, but besides that, youforgot the most important part....
DIZZY
without it they can stand right back up, so I would say only use macros, for CoB or healing etc. My personal oppinion is that PvP can never be predicted, every fighter is different.
Good luck
Please post what you think of what I said, if I need to clarify something.

ummm... how about try pvp without macros 
Idon't see how using macros in pvp couldbe any fun at all, and just displays a lack of skill IMHO.
Sorry big fella, but if your skilled, you dont need macros

Yeah seems i did miss dizzy. I have enjoyed using the macro but dont let it run constantly. As you say not all players are predictable. I do however have most off my moves in my top toolbar. EG macro as above, /dump, dizzy, blind, body hit 3 etc etc
If the macro takes effect then i let it run. Usually i can knock someone down and keep them down for sometime. Obviously a dizzy effect would keep them down longer. If things dont go to plan then i dump the macro and play manually eg dizzy, blind scatter etc etc
If im figting a shooter i have found that intimidate then lunge can slow them down long enough for me to catch up with them and get into them. As i said i have only been into pvp for 2 weeks, so alot of learning is still at hand. Will throw a dizzy in my macro after the lunge and see how it works.

I guess it can't fairly be described as a lack of skill, but rather a lack of adaptability.
As a Master Fencer we hit very fast, and makeing sure that the "right" attack is cued up is very important in PVP.
PVP is chaotic at best, totally enigmaticly chaotic at worst.
Meaning no situation is the same.
Quick adaptability and reading your opponant play a huge role in effective PVP... you need to hit the right attack quick enough for it to be the next one.
I only have a CoB Macro/Armor Macro/Clothing Macro

Thanx mettel Glad i said i have only played pvp for 2 weeks. Pretty much defines the fact that iam an amateur and still have alot of skiils to learn. I can live with that. 
Over time i will learn how other professions handle themselves and im sure over time i was also learn how to "manually" deal with most situations. As for it getting boring when im using a macro lol it doesnt..im too busy trying to get rid of disease or poisons lol

yah,
took me a while to get out of wanting to macro my fencer specials, and you can, but I was also a Doctor/Fencer and I was in alot of faction fights against CMs and huge teams of the opposite faction and I found that you only need 1 button to heal your disease and poisons, and honestly dont waiste you time clearing the queue manuely:
I did this for curePoison and cureDisease in a fight.....
/peace - Clears the Combat queue
/target self - makes it easier to target yourself for healing
/curePoison - will cure both
/cureDisease
then, make another, that being to cure others, much simpler:
/peace (Optional, I usually was focusing on keeping myself alive)
/curePoison
/cureDisease
good luck

Aye, sorry if I came off the wrong way - lack of adaptability much better describes what I mean. Poor choice of words on my part. I cannot imagine trying to fight a rifleman the same way I would another fencer... In fact even most fencers will fight differently from one to the next.

The only macro I ever use in pvp is for tka's who KD/Dizzy,
/stand;
/melee1hScatterhit3
This works well for kd dizzy'ing tka's because it makes it so that split second your fencer gets up you'll use that move really quick before your character falls back down again, thus making the KD Dizzy factor inneffective. Give it a try, other than that macro's are for people who can't remember which slot they put that one or oh was it that other move i put in my slot 07 hmm.

guess you do not realize each time you press a button you are sending a macro.
real skill would be typing out each attack, but that would take to long.
huge macros can get you killed but some attacks can be done with macros.
Say 3 hits of something, or just something simple like follow being added in before a attack.
I have used to good effect a dizzy lunge combo attackfor a good effect in pvp.
I have used some other macros setups with fencer that help effect my Ham settings.
Now you do have some good points of not just spaming a attack repeatedly via macro as there are times you may need to change your attack due to ham or armor ect.
but short 2 line macros can be effecttive also.

Besides a looping heal macro I run, I have state effect macro that I apply more or less Intimidate, dizzy, health hit, then if dizzy sticks I will lunge. Most of the time I just look at the situation and use what is needed.
