Useful macros for warriors

Last wiki revision 2023-05-25

(Tested in 4.0) This macro will cast Charge in Battle Stance, Intercept in Berserker Stance and Intervene in Defensive stance if your target is friendly. Finally, this macro turns on your auto-attack if the target is hostile, cancels your Bladestorm and casts Battle Shout. This macro is compatible with the Juggernaut (Wrath Classic) talent.

#showtooltip /startattack [harm] /cast [stance:1]Charge; [stance:2,noharm]Intervene; [stance:3]Intercept /cancelaura Bladestorm /cast Battle Shout

This macro will allow you to easy choose between Heroic Strike and Slam to dump your excess of rage or to just simplify the buttons you've to push. The default is to cast Heroic Strike and will cast Slam if any modifier is pressed (CTRL/ALT/SHIFT)

/cast [modifier] Slam; Heroic Strike

  • 1) show

This macro will play the Herod sound "Blades of Light!" when you cast it. You can also insert a trinket to use to make it even better, for example. This way you will activate both the ability and the trinket.

/use Mark of Supremacy /cast Bladestorm /script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\Herod\\HerodWhirlwind01.wav")

  • 1) show Bladestorm

/stopcasting /cast Slam /stopcasting /startattack

  • 1) showtooltip
  • Makes Dpsing as Fury a little easier and take less attention, what I do is set up WW BT HS and this macro next to each other and spam them. This way it will activate Slam, if Bloosurge hasn't procced then it will automatically stop casting it and continue your autoattack, and if Bloodsurge has procced then you'll use up the instant Slam and your rotation can continue smoothly.

/equipslot [equipped:two-hand] 17 Shield /equipslot [equipped:shield] 17 Off-hand /equipslot 16 Main-hand /cast [stance:3] Defensive Stance; [stance:2] Berserker Stance

If you are in Berserker Stance with two two-handers, this will swap your shield with your off hand and put you into Defensive stance in one press of the button. Pressing it again will return you back to Berserker stance and switch your off-hand back to the original two two-handers instead of replacing the main-hand.

If holding alt (Change to whatever mod you prefer) taunts your mouseover target, so you don't have to loose your current target, if not modified then taunts your current target

/cast [@mouseover, mod:alt][] Taunt ~Fätmän

This macro allows a warrior to use all five of the distance-closing abilities in one button. Using the macro with no modifiers will either Taunt the target or Intervene the target if friendly; Alt will activate Heroic Leap; Control will activate Heroic Throw; Shift will Charge or intercept if Charge is on cooldown. The icon also shows which one you would be using.

/cast [help] Intervene; [nomod] Taunt; [mod:alt] Heroic Leap; [mod:ctrl] Heroic Throw; /castsequence [mod:shift] reset=15 Charge, Intercept;

  • 1) showtooltip

Make an equipment set called TANK that equips a shield. Make an equipment set called PvP that equips your Two-Hand weapon... /cast [noequipped:Shields]Defensive Stance /equipset [noequipped:Shields]TANK /cast [stance:2,equipped:Shields]Shield Wall /cast [stance2:equipped:Shields]Battle Stance /equipset [equipped:Shields]PvP

  • First Click
  • Shift into Defensive Stance
  • Equips your shield
  • Wait for the global cooldown to finish...
  • Second Click
  • Casts Shield Wall
  • Shift back into Battle Stance
  • Requip your Two-Hander
  • Note: Stance dancing is not required anymore, since Shield Wall no longer has a stance requirement. Therefore, the 1st and 4th lines are optional.

The above macro can be used for Spell Reflection as well.

/cast [noequipped:Shields]Defensive Stance /equipset [noequipped:Shields]TANK /cast [stance:2,equipped:Shields]Spell Reflection /cast [stance:2,equipped:Shields]Battle Stance /equipset [equipped:Shields]PvP

  • First Click
  • Shift into Defensive Stance
  • Equips your shield
  • Wait for the global cooldown to finish...
  • Second Click
  • Casts Spell Reflection
  • Shift back into Battle Stance
  • Requip your Two-Hander
  • Note: Stance dancing is not required for Arms warriors anymore, since Spell Reflection is now useable in Battle Stance as well. Therefore, the 1st and 4th lines are optional.

If, when using the above macros, you find yourself accidentally removing the Spell Reflection or Shield Wall buff by switching back to a 2-hander before the buff fades (which may happen if you're a button masher in PvP), you can use a slightly modified version of the above macros. Remember to ignore all the other non-weapon slots when creating the PvP and TANK sets, as otherwise you may accidentally switch armor sets if out of combat (other set names, such as 2H and Shield respectively, will work as well; simply substitute your preferred set name(s) in the macros).

For Spell Reflection:

/equipset [noequipped:Shields] TANK /cast [equipped:Shields] Spell Reflection

  • 1) showtooltip Spell Reflection

For Shield Wall:

/equipset [noequipped:Shields] TANK /cast [equipped:Shields] Shield Wall

  • 1) showtooltip Shield Wall

And pair those macros with one for Mortal Strike and/or Overpower:

/equipset [equipped:Shields] PvP /cast Mortal Strike /startattack

  • 1) showtooltip Mortal Strike

/equipset [equipped:Shields] PvP /cast Overpower /startattack

  • 1) showtooltip Overpower

Using the above macro(s) in combination with the Shield Wall and Spell Reflection macros ensures you will not cancel the buff accidentally by unequipping your shield, while still allowing you to switch back to your main weapon quickly when necessary.

  • All macros tested and verified in 4.3.4
