Warrior Macro Guide
Macros are important for all classes, but for warriors it’s a whole other level. The big issue with warrior is you don’t want to have to manually change your stances all the time. Fortunately, we can use a few simple warrior macros to really alleviate some of these headaches by adding stance swaps into many abilities.
Useful Macros for Warriors
- Charge + Intercept Macro
- 1 Button Berserker Rage Macro
- Start / Stop Macro for Bladestorm
- Defensive Stance Macro
- Defensive Stance + Spell Reflect Macro
- Berserker Stance Weapon Swap
- Intervene Macro
- 1 Button Overpower Macro
- 1 Button Disarm Macro
- Victory Rush + Hamstring Macro
- Massive AoE Attacks Macro
- Slam When Bloodsurged
- Intervene Specific Player
#show [combat] Intercept; Charge
/cast [nocombat,stance:1] Charge; [combat,stance:3] Intercept; [nocombat,nostance:1] Battle Stance; [combat,nostance:3] Berserker Stance
/stopcasting
/cast [stance:1/3] Hamstring
One button macro charge if you’re not in combat and intercept if you are in combat. Will handle all your stance swaping. I’ve added hamstring to this macro, but you could remove it if you prefer to have hamstring on it’s own hotkey.
#show Berserker Rage
/cast [stance:3] Berserker Rage; [stance:1/2] Berserker Stance
Swaps into beerserker stance and casts berserker rage. Clutch macro to have when you need a fear break fast.
Start / Stop Macro for Bladestorm
/cancelaura Bladestorm
/cast Bladestorm
Simple and effective macro to start and stop bladestorm, this is particuarlly useful when you need to quickly stop to get an execute or pummel off if you’re still spinning.
/equip [name of your 1h weapon]
/equip [name of your shield]
/cast Defensive Stance
Another simple, yet effective macro. Will equip your 1h / shield and go into defensive stance.
Defensive Stance + Spell Reflect Macro
/equip [name of your 1h weapon]
/equip [name of your shield]
/cast Defensive Stance
/cast Spell Reflect
Continuation of the above macro.
/equip [name of your 2h weapon]
/cast Berserker Stance
Useful macro to have if you’re using the defensive stance macro, you may also want to create a similar macro for battle stance. Simply exchange “Berserker Stance” with “Battle Stance”.
/cast [nostance:2] Defensive Stance; [Help] Intervene;
[target=targettarget, help] Intervene
This will swap you into defensive stance and intervene your target’s target. Great way to make a quick escape without losing your current target.
# show Overpower
/cast [stance:1] Overpower; Battle Stance
Standard overpower macro. Will automatically put you in battle stance and overpower your target with a single click. No point in having to manually go into battle.
cast [stance:2] Disarm; [stance:1,3] Defensive Stance
Automatically put you in defensive stance and casts disarm, simple.
Victory Rush + Hamstring Macro
/startattack
/castsequence Victory Rush, Hamstring
2 click macro that will cast victory rush and hamstring in that order.
/startattack
/cast execute
/cast cleave
/cast [stance:1] sweeping strikes
/cast [stance:3] Whirlwind
Use to drop a massive 1 button AoE bomb.
#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/cast Slam
/stopcasting
/startattack
Macro that will use your instant Slam if Bloodsurge has procced, if not it will proceed with auto attacking.
This macro will intervene a player of your choice without having to target them. Replace “healername” with the name of the player of your choice.
#showtooltip Intervene
/target healername
/cast Intervene
/assist

I purchased the leveling guide and it was useful for my Warrior …
I stopped playing for a little under a year and now I returned and wanted to level a pries tonly to find out that the version I have is NOT compatible with WOTLK. Where can I get an update from?
@sam – if you’re talking about zygor’s leveling guide you should seek out support from his website, zygorguides.com, I can’t help you here.
hello there. I was soo damn happy when i discovered these macros.. cant wait to try it out! Love they way u explain each of the macros and even giving some usefull tips. If iam not asking too much could u answer question of mine ?
I play tauren warrior on server with patch 3.3.5a and my partner is druid.
ok. question now :
1. I use macro sweeping strikes and bladestorm its cool but sometimes when i press it , there is enough rage only for sweeping strikes and no bladestorm there.. so sweeping strikes ticking and after a few secs i press it again and macro then works well= sweeping strikes + bladestorm… Question am i doing something wrong or i just need to hit my macro when i have almsot full rage??
sorry if i look kinda noobish but i rly need to learn as much as i can. thanks in advance.
No, that’s just how the macro is intended to work. You need to make sure you have enough rage before you use it, otherwise it won’t work properly.
Unfortunately there’s no way to check for a conditional rage checker, so you just need to manually look at the rage.
