Warrior Macro Guide

December 7, 2008 by · 4 Comments 

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.

Charge + Intercept Macro

#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.

1 Button Berserker Rage Macro

#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.

Defensive Stance Macro

/equip [name of your shield]
/cast Defensive Stance

Another simple, yet effective macro. Will equip your 1h / shield and go into defensive stance.

Continuation of the above macro.

Beserker Stance Weapon Swap

/equip [name of your 2h weapon]

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”.

Intervene Macro

/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.
