Hey guys! Does anyone know of a way to type out a macro to Cast Recklessness and cancelaura Bladestorm in the macro? Or is it even possible? Right now I’m working with:
#showtooltip
/Cast Recklessness
/Cancelaura Bladestorm
Which you would think would be enough, but you have to click the button twice to get it to work.
In case anyone is wondering, I’m trying to set this up for single target pulls in between mob packs in dungeons. I’m just trying to make this as easy as possible.
you’re sort of on the right track, but no, what you are trying to do is not possible because you can’t micromanage signet behavior as such. however there is an easy solution that will do what you’re trying to do, as well as benefit you across the board because these are important warrior fundamentals :
basically you will want to have “/cancelaura bladestorm” in a number of macros, for instance a critical pummel which landing far outweighs the benefit of a few extra ticks of damage, or perhaps to intervene an ally
here are a few examples i pulled up as they are straight forward/apply to all 3 specs, and it’s hard to make an argument for not having them:
#showtooltip intimidating shout
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/stopattack
/cast intimidating shout
/cancelaura bladestorm
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
#showtooltip heroic leap
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/cast !heroic leap
/cancelaura bladestorm
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
when you trigger signet and bladestorm the secondary ability which procs and is either not disired, or no longer diesired (enrage feell off if fury, you want to immedidately cancel and since bladestorm generates rage, hopefully you can instantly rampage off of that, this a very popular and sound reason to cancel bladestorm to re-enrage asap (is that a word?). hit one of your macros which will cancel it without firing off someone else and there you go. to add to that, always avoid using avatar/reck/bladestorm if enrage is absent, or is definitely going to fall off (if bladestorm procs) before the bladestorm ends. managing this will increase your enrage uptime/increased dps is a given and in general allow for better control over your character/improve yours zugzug skills.

coming back quickly to the first question, i didn’t test your macro, but again it’s not a macro I would want, it would completely restrict you from stacking reck + bladestorm in all scenarios, including ones where it would be beneficial. i suppose you could wear signet simply to increase your recklessness uptime, but one of the most powerful things about signet is the on-demand burst potential from stacking cooldowns, especially when you cast reck and bladestorm close together and have avatar going as well, + blood fury, an on use trinket, conqueror’s banner + external buffs such a lust, PI, dark arch, etc. who knows, it’s fun and VERY powerful properly stacked. bladestorm is extremely ease to cancel immediately, you should make a few macros and try to get used to it until it’s second nature, if you main warrior or are working on improving as one (not meant rude in case the last part sounds as such via txt)
others may have macros to share as well, i can paste addtl. if you need more ideas of where you could add it
side note: if you play prot it’s a very good idea to follow this principle have /cancel bop macro’d into something for necrotic weeks to clear stacks
I just tap my charge macro anytime I need to cancel bladestorm.
