Spell Reflection macro issue

[Fog]

Hello, fellow MMO-Championeers.
I've searched for other topics, thought I found answers but it still didn't help me. Which is why I create this thread.

After patch 4.2 hit, I found my macro to not work. I didn't PvP much so I didn't bother. Specced prot and all was fine and dandy.
But now, I respecced arms PvP, and I still can't get this macro to work.

Here it is:

/#showtooltip Spell Reflection
/cast Spell Reflection
/equip Vicious Gladiator's Slicer
/equip Vicious Gladiator's Shield Wall

I know for a fact that this macro should work, I have the same exact macro on a lvl 68 warrior I got, and it works on him.
Besides, my Shield Macro, which is written in the same way, works on my main warrior. But not Spell Reflection..

Is there anyone of you who might have an answer?

You can give it put it in a smarter order and give it a condition if it's spitting out errors as you spam it like:

#showtooltip Spell Reflection
/equip Vicious Gladiator's Slicer
/cast [worn:shields]Spell Reflection
/stopmacro [worn:shields]
/equip Vicious Gladiator's Shield Wall

But there was a change about last patch that as soon as you take your Shield off, you lose the buff for Spell Reflection and Shield Wall and things like that.

So understand that if you are immediately switching back to your 2h.

Let me know if you are still having problems.

Uhm, this is incorrect, you keep the buffs even after you take the shield off.

I actually forgot to adress is the problem, my fault. I guess that's the curse of being in a hurry, heh.
Anyway, what actually happens is that I never get to equip my 1h and shield. I get an error message saying I need to equip a shield. WHich is what this macro is supposed to do...

I tried your macro, and I still have the same problem.

As mentioned, the very same macro works on my other warrior, and the Shield Wall macro, which is written in the same way, works perfectly on both my chars.
I only have problem with the SR macro on my main character.

Is there anything beyond the macros that might be the problem?

My macro wouldn't give an error saying that you need to equip a shield. I tested it and it's the same one I use.

I honestly can't think of anything else besides:

1) Double checking 100% that the correct macro is dragged onto your bar, and
2) Confirming that you have both of those items in your bags.

I know it shouldn't but it does. I have checked it multiple times. I even removed the SR macro from the action bar instead of just replacing it.
Still nothing... /sadface

First thing is first, almost all of these spell reflect macros listed have failed errors in the arguments which means they will take slightly longer. Second, you do lose any shield effects once you remove your shield, its been this way since vanilla and it has never changed all the way through 4.2.

#showtooltip Spell Reflection
/cast [stance:1/2,equipped:Shields] Spell Reflection; [stance:3] Defensive Stance
/stopmacro [equipped: Shields]
/stopcasting
/equipset SnB

The first argument means, if you press this and you're in battle or defensive stance WITH a shield it spell reflects, if not, it puts you in defensive stance. The second stops the macro in its place if a shield is equipped so it doesn't waste a few seconds trying to re-equip a shield, as one is already equipped. (That is the first global entirely.) It will then equip a shield if one is not equip for the first global if nothing else above met conditions, defensive + SnB = same global. Then you spell reflect again as you must press it again if this is from berserker stance or requires you to equip a shield.

Absolutely wrong.

This is cute junior, but not true.

[Siri]

Yeah, I just made that up because it's not as if I don't use it all the time...



Call it a bug if you want but don't say it doesn't work.

[lawomous]

Does seem to be some kind of bug Lohe with Fury then, as it has never worked with Arms or Protection spec.

[Siri]

I never really tried Arms at max level so I did some tests now.
The buffs go away if your off-hand is EMPTY, but not if you replace it with a weapon.
Weird, clearly a bug

Very nice you cleared that up for us. I was interested in it myself.
However, I still have my problem! halp pl0x

Have you checked that everything is spelled correctly? I did a /cast Spell Reflect and then raged for a week wondering why it didn't work.
