WARRIOR: 2h switch to 1h and Shield

/equipset [nomod:stance:1] 2h
/equipset [mod:shift] Shield
/cast [mod:shift:stance:2] Shield Block; Defensive Stance
/startattack

I am using "equipment sets" (Shield, and 2h)

I want the macro without a modifier to equip my 2h and put me in battle stance. With modifier "shift" the macro should equip my 1h and Shield put me in defensive stance and cast shield block. (with both 2h and 1h and Shield it should start attack)

Any ideas?

Shifting stances takes a GCD, I think. If not, ignore this. Weapon changing takes a GCD as well. You can't use two abilities on the GCD in tandem.

But I'm no good with Macros, so that's as far as I can help you.

Fuzzy is partially correct. While swapping weapons does invoke a GCD, you can swap weapons during the GCD. In order for your macro to work you need to change the order. You also have the conditional syntax wrong (note the commas instead of colons before 'stance').


/cast [mod:shift,stance:2] Shield Block; Defensive Stance
/equipset [nomod,stance:1] 2h
/equipset [mod:shift] Shield
/startattack

^ That doesnt work either

Here you go.

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift,stance:2]Shield Block;[mod:shift]Defensive Stance;Battle Stance
/equipset [mod:shift]Shield;2h
/startattack

Doesn't much help to cast shield block before equipping your shield. In fact, its rather a logical impossibility.

Lawomous you rock! Thanks sir/maam

Sir and you're welcome, check your other thread about the disengage macro too.

The order doesn't matter, as you will need to press the macro more than once anyway

Order matters rather a lot in programming, whether its a macro on warcraft or warcraft itself.

Don't put the cart before the horse.

Just to clarify things
Yes both of them are on a GCD
However stance gcd is on a seperate one only affecting stances, and certain abilities like shield is not affected by weapon gcd, just like spellreflect, shield wall etcetc
