Need help, I’m not doing anything fancy. I’m just trying to swap from 2h to 1H+shield in defensive stance. I’m a new player and as far as I’ve seen on other sites this really should be working.
These exact macros worked last week, and then randomly stopped working. I have not changed weapons, and they worked without /equipslot type commands. I tried changing the order of casting/equipping/whether sword or shield was first. No change. I have checked the spelling of the weapons and made sure nothing is typo’d.
I’m at the end of my rope here, been looking for a solution for a week and I really, really need these to work before I go into PVP.
#showtooltip Battle Stance
/cast Battle Stance
/equip Crescent Staff
#showtooltip Defensive Stance
/cast Defensive Stance
/equip Militant Shortsword of the Tiger
/equip Seedcloud Buckler
Thanks in advance, I appreciate any and all help.
Works perfectly fine on my end. I copied your macro verbatim and updated to my weapons on both makes.
Once you hit 20 and train dual wield it messes with your your one hand and shield macro.
To equip a one hander and shield
/equipslot 16 “mainhandweaponname”
/equip “shield name”
That will work also your weapon macro should be independent of your stances if you want to play your warrior properly .
You can also combine them into one macro.
/equipslot 16 “mainhandweaponname”
/equip “shield name”
/equip “2hander name”
If you have 2 hander out and press it, it equips one hand shield .
If you have one hand and shield and press it, it equips 2 hander .
A one button macro for all your weapon swapping needs.
Also bind your shield bash and sheild wall to auto equip your one hander and shield.
Edit so a good idea to bind
/startattack to your main damage abilities can also add specific stances to stance specific abilities.
Thank you, I had a feeling it was a bug of some kind. Thank you for confirming that is not the macro itself.
Thanks for the reply. At a certain point, I am definitely going to do what you just described. But given that I don’t know which abilities are tied to which stances yet, I feel I would get into bad habits of switching stances back and forth and thereby constantly depleting my rage, simply because I have a button that makes it work without me having to think “Oh yeah, that’s a defensive stance ability, I should consider how much rage I have before using it.”
Once I have these things down, then I intend to automate the stance dancing process. For now, I’m forcing myself to stay analog for the sake of learning.
EDIT: I also gave your weapon toggling macro a try. Here is the result.
I believe my character is just bugged somehow?
/equipslot 16 Crescent of Forlorn Spirits
/equip Aegis of the Scarlet Commander
/equip Bonebiter
Remove the double quotes. You don’t need them, that was just a placeholder.
The above is my working macro copy pasted from my game. Replace the names with your weapon names and it will work
