Classic WoW macro/addon to switch during combat from 2 swords to sword and shield . Need help

need help making macro or addon to switch from duel wielding swords to sword and shield during combat

it is something like “/equip 16 item-name” and “/equip 17 item-name”. numbers might be off but it’s the slot number.

so the weapons dont end up in wrong hand. Look for kael’thas macros, those are going to be what you want, basically.

You have the slot numbers correct.

  • Head : 1
  • Neck : 2
  • Shoulder : 3
  • Shirt : 4
  • Chest : 5
  • Belt : 6
  • Legs : 7
  • Feet : 8
  • Wrist : 9
  • Gloves : 10
  • Finger 1 (Top) : 11
  • Finger 2 (Bottom) : 12
  • Trinket 1 (Top) : 13
  • Trinket 2 (Bottom) : 14
  • Back : 15
  • Main Hand : 16
  • Off Hand : 17
  • Tabard : 19

@OP

I use weapon change macros specifically like this for my warrior.

/equipslot 16 mainhandname
/equipslot 17 offhandname

/equipslot 17 shieldname

Remember that when you change weapons is activates your GCD (global cooldown) you then need to wait 1.5 sec to do any other action.

However the inverse is not so, the use of ant skill does not block the weapon swap. So for example you intend to challenging shout on a call its wise to make a macro that casts challenging shout and next line /equipslot 17 shieldname so you are less likely to be deleted.
