Need help. Avenger's shield macro

[Deleted]

Hey everybody,

I was trying to make an Avenger's shield macro that makes me cast it while wearing a 2h weapon or just one that switches my 2h weapon for a shield and then casts the spell. Is it possible to make such a macro? I'm still abit new to macro making so i dont know its limits

Why wear a two-handed weapon as Protection?

Shield of the Righteous, your hardest hitting ability by far also requires a shield.

He wants to switch to a 2h just for Avenger's Shield (which IIRC scales off AP (?)). OP, be aware that switching weapons is not possible during the GCD, so you'd be open to unblocked boss hits for 1.5 (?) seconds afterwards.

If you're fine with that, simply using:

#showtooltip Avenger's Shield
/equip name of 2h
/use Avenger's Shield

should work.

It's the other way around. Avenger's Shield requires a shield to be used.

This macro just doesn't make sense to create in my opinion. Just don't use two-handers.

Oops, wasn't aware of that. Well, not possible for obvious reasons in that case.

#showtooltip Avenger's Shield
/equip name of 1h
/equip name of shield
/use Avenger's Shield
/equip name of 2h

Ahh, I had it backwards. You want to switch to 1h+shield for the AS cast while DPSing as prot (one-tank phases). Yeah, what the guy above me posted (apart from the 2h not working because of GCD).

#showtooltip Avenger's Shield
/equip name of 1h
/equip name of shield
/use Avenger's Shield
/equip name of 2h

Thats at least 3 GCDs. Are they worth whatever you are trying to do?

[palthis]

Or you could just do a

/equipset <name of tank set>
/use Avenger's Shield
/equipset <name of DPS set>

Being in combat this will not change the rest of the gear but only the weapons and reduce the GCD's

Thanks for the help people. The reason i was trying to make this macro is for twinking in the lvl 20-24 bracket. Protection is far superior there, but i feel like i could be doing extra damage when im not being attacked. Also thanks for pointing out that switching weapons has a gcd, it explains why my previous macros didnt work.
