Shadowlands Warrior Macros: how to manage shield abilities

28-10-20 UPDATE: Using gear sets doesn’t work anymore! I’ve put a new macro that does work!
16-10-20 UPDATE: there has been implemented GCD on changing weapons in combat, which wasn’t there on the ptr where i recorded this. It all still works tho.

New macro, FURY:

#showtooltip
/equipslot [noequipped:shields]17 “”name of your shield””;17 “”name of your 2nd two hander””

New macro, ARMS:

#showtooltip
/equipslot [noequipped:shields]17 “”name of your shield””
/equipslot [noequipped:shields]16 “”name of one-hander””;16 “”name of your two hander””

(insert the name of your weapon and shield)

Abilities changing when wearing shield (bearform-like solution):

#showtooltip
/cast [equipped:shields] Shield Block; Rampage

#showtooltip
/cast [equipped:shields] Shield Slam; Raging Blow

#showtooltip
/cast [equipped:shields] Ignore Pain; Onslaught

(change out any of the ability names to fit your playstyle)

Giving you the right weapon for the spell you use
(secure solution… more keybinds needed tho):

ARMS:
#showtooltip shield block
/equipslot [noequipped:shields]17 “”Name of shield””
/equipslot [noequipped:shields]16 “”Name of one hander””
/cast shield block

FURY:
#showtooltip shield block
/equipslot [noequipped:shields]17 “”Name of shield””
/cast shield block

One that works the other way around for

FURY:
#showtooltip rampage
/equipslot [equipped:shields]17 “”Name of two-hander””
/cast rampage

Charge enemy, intervene friend

#showtooltip
/cast [help] intervene; charge

Here is the OLD macro, in case blizz fixes this
One button weapon swap:

#showtooltip
/equipset [noequipped:shields] tank; dps

(For this one make sets with shield and without and name them ‘dps’ and ‘tank’)

  1. When i try to swap from two hand to one hand and shield it only swap the shield for me w/o the one hand in combat. Out of combat it works normal i have no idea what is wrong. Also sometimes it doesnt swap at all saying item is not ready yet. Some Ideas what i did bad ?

  2. Thanks mate, I've been trying to figure this out for the past couple of days now! Sorry for the stupid question but how do you make gear sets that only consist of weapons (like you said)?

  3. So if u change mid combat u get a gcd for gear swapping? Or ist it the same ability gcd? I've seen a video where a guy was like its 2 separate gcds one for swapping and one for spells..

  4. Thanks for the vid, the macros work perfectly…one quick question the bear form like macros work for arms (the icon changes to the ability depending on whether I have my shield or two hander), however for fury the icons don't change. For example the /cast [equipped:shields] Ignore Pain; Onslaught macro works but the icon does not change from ignore pain to Onslaught if I switch weapons. I cannot work out way any ideas?
