MOP Classic - Windwalker Monk Jab macro unexpected behaviour

MOP Classic

As I am a Windwalker and I am using two swords, the spell ‘Jab’ in my spellbook quite rightly says “You slice the target with your sword.”

However, when I add Jab into a macro using the following (for example):

#showtooltip
/cast Jab

And I then put the above macro onto my toolbar, the text of the macro changes to “You clobber the target with your staff.”

I had a longer macro (including a /startattack function and trinkets procs) but wanted to pare it down to rule out other errors.

When I am close to an enemy and I use this macro, it initiates combat, but does not fire off Jab, as I am using swords and the macro is expecting a staff. Instead, the macro is desaturated, indicating something that will not work.

I experienced this same issue, after I had setup my Secondary specialization as Mistweaver, and equipped a staff. Then when switching back to my Dual-Wielding Maces in a dungeon, the Jab Macro appeared to be stuck in “Staff-Mode” and I was unable to use said Macro with my maces.

After the dungeon, I re-equipped both weapons a few times, and the problem appeared to resolve itself. So perhaps that is all that is needed to currently fix the problem, or hypothetically, even just having the other weapon type in your bags contributes to the issue?

It’s still a minor bug, regardless.
