Every Macro You Need - Be the Best Warrior

[ProteinOrcWarrior]

Over the year playing a warrior I have made a lot of macros that make me more efficient.

Some veterans will probably already have variations of these macros, but I highly recommend them for anyone who is new to a warrior, or those who are just idiots with macros:

Keep in mind I haven't played Fury since 3.0 so you will not find many macros for that spec here.









ANY SPEC:

0
_______________________________________
TANK FOR 10 SECONDS ANY SPEC (SAVE YOUR TANK)

Equips shield, goes defensive, casts taunt/shield wall/shield block/mocking blow

#showtooltip taunt
/castsequence reset=5 [stance:2,equipped:Shields] Taunt, shield wall, shield block, mocking blow; [stance:1/3] Defensive Stance
/stopmacro [equipped: Shields]
/stopcasting
/equip Ardent Guard
/equip Forlorn Barrier

_______________________________________
TAUNT TARGET/FOCUS / GO DEFENSIVE

Defensive stance if you are not in that stance, taunt target, hold shift to taunt focus:

/#showtooltip

_______________________________________
SHATTERING THROW AS ANY SPEC/STANCE

Battle stance if you are not in that stance, uses shattering throw if you are in that stance

#showtooltip Shattering Throw

Use this one if you tend to not have enough rage to cast shattering throw, does same thing but uses blood rage before casting it.

Please note this is NEARLY every macro you need, there are also a few others which are useful. (Especially for Fury, which I don't enjoy playing)

[Advent]

This is amazing. I'm leveling a warrior (72 now), and I find these to be great. This should be a sticky imo.

[Soaps20]

ya great addition, my spell reflect macro always got screwed up sometimes; these are just perfect macro's

[ProteinOrcWarrior]

Added six more, please give feedback/adjustments.

[XeroXen TruSin]

cool

[xiza]

really really nice, really!
i've stopped playing my warrior back in bc and never touched her again, but those macros are really nice.. i'm a fan of macros :x

[Maradar]

As I'm "just an idiot" with macro's, I find this quite interesting.
But as far as I can see, Prot macro's not counting, these are almost all PvP macro's and merely usefull for PvE.
And because I'm shit at PvP, and don't do it, these are not very usefull to me.

But anyways, nice post, and very usefull to anyone who wanted this sort of macro's.
Keep up the good work, and post some more if you know/remember them!!

Sir, even in PVE you should ALWAYS focus a second target if and when possible. Which is why these macros are useful in both PVE and PVP.

The mouseover intervene macro for Arms/Prot is essential for saving peoples lives in a raid, 99% of warriors will never make use of intervene in a raid, those that due are usually masters of their class. Whether it is to intercept a targets damage so they don't die, or get to another location quickly to avoid taking damage yourself, Intervene is extremely useful.

The main reason most warriors never use intervene is because it requires many 4 steps without a good macro - Switch to defensive stance > target the person who is at proper distant to intervene > use intervene, and then switch back to a damage stance. This macro compresses all of those steps into one simple macro that you can mouseover your raid frame and spam.

I hope you now understand why these are useful in nearly any situation.

[Pieterman]

nice set of macro's but srsly..half the macro's are perfectly doable by pressing buttons yourself, dont need to macro that.
ctrl F2 for def stance and ` for taunt, how hard was that? (ctrl with handpalm yes)

Macros don't exist to make difficult actions easy. They serve to reduce redundancy and conserve keyboard space. Instead of having to make a stretch to hit ctrl+f2, you can simply hit Shift+R and then hit Shift+R again.

Exactly.

Control + F2 just to go defensive sounds fairly slow unless you have huge hands or a small keyboard, and considering how many skills you need to go defensive for... it looks like macros do exist to make difficult actions easier. As well as conserve keyboard space.

With those macros, you can use ` for something else!

I'm pretty sure the main reason is not speccing into

no rage to intervene after switching stance

[Freedom]

Make one for 2 2hs ->1 2h and shield or 2 1h and shield -> 2 2hs. I'd spell reflect on my fury war but re-equipping BOTH 2hs is a bitch as if you click on one 2h the game just swaps it out for the one you have equipped.

[wolfwood888]

The problem with the shattering throw macro is that ST costs 25 rage, and if you change stances, unless you have 3/3 in the talent, you won't be able to use it right away, its easier in my estimation to not macro that one.

Bloodrage in between

[wolfwood888]

Yes, but my point is, there is no reason to macro that together because you have to use bloodrage :P

[Ximod]

Yes, but my point is, there is no reason to macro that together because you have to use bloodrage :P

Macro Bloodrage in = problem solved, you can also make it only do it if bloodrage is not on CD if you want to. 8)

[ProteinOrcWarrior]

Added this to the list.

The shield macros should work if you have 2x 2handers equipped.

Use the bloodthirst macro I added to re-equip those 2x 2handers.
