cant swap weapons in combat consistantly with any macros.
have wrote macros that will swap, but rarely does it let me swap back. its also a DUAL global… meaning, 1 weapon swaps, global. 2nd weapon swap, global. it gets stuck. have to go into inventory and drag weapons to character pane.
Why in the world do you need to swap weapons in combat?
Pretty sure weapon swapping is intentionally awful to discourage this sort of degenerate gameplay.
I need to equip my Arcanite Ripper to shred a guitar solo on my guildy who died mid-fight because it’s still not a toy >:(
Lol its not broken. It was done 100% to stop you from doing exactly what you are trying to do.
This was implemented early in Vanilla because rogues were making macros to ambush and swap to a sword so the damage from the sword was used instead of the dagger. If a macro is limited by a GCD, then any addon would be too. Macros cannot check for conditions when executing.
Working as intended; roadblocks to degenerative gameplay is good.
Pretty sure that is called Cheating…
umm… its worked for like 19 years just fine… and it still works now. its just god awful to how it used to be.
Do you really want optimal gameplay to involve constantly swapping weapons between globals to take advantage of different enchants/poisons?
No. You do not.
pretty sure youre new to wow if you consider swapping weapons cheating.
there is no ‘between globals’. weapon swap has always been a global.
And you really think it would be fun gameplay to spend a global swapping weapons to apply a poison that has just fallen off or fish for procs of an enchant, only to swap back?
You really want to farm multiple weapons for one spec?
You do not want this.
yeah ive been doing this since vanilla… and yes i carry about 8 weapons.
yes i do want this.
sorry that you are not on my level.
You only do LFR pal. Relax.
you have 4k pvp kills.
i have 125000x that.
WoW is a PvE game with PvP bolted on.
no wow is essentially a pvp game.
Sorry you feel that way, but it isn’t. PvP was and has always been a secondary addition to the game.
You only do 2s and unrated battlegrounds and you have a 37% winrate in 2s.
Anyway, there’s nothing to fix here. Weapon Swapping is intentionally inefficient because that’s not how Blizzard wants people to play. You can continue to do it if you want, but please be aware that basically nobody does this regularly other than something like a Warrior DPS throwing on a Shield for the Defensive CD (is that even still a thing?).
Degen gameplay should not be supported.
Just ruins it for everyone that doesn’t engage.
There is nothing to fix. Im fairly sure what youre describing is by design to stop whatever it is you are trying to accomplish.
