List of Macros (so you can copy/paste): www.patreon.com/posts/classic-warrior-43996209 Hey guys, I just wanted to add in the comments here. I realize this video took a stupid long time to come out and I'm really sorry for that. I've been dealing with extreme back pain and sciatica this year. I've had multiple MRI's and I'm waiting on the results of the last one of my hip. The assumption at this point is Piriformis Syndrome, because I simply can't sit. Just too much pain. I've got a new standing desk though, so I was able to finally finish this video. woot! I'll be playing Shadowlands, and I'll be streaming it on Twitch, so make sure you follow! Obviously, I gotta take it easy for now, but hopefully we can finish some more videos soon :) tldr It feels like my back is going to explode.
I also work on a Standing Desk due to a milder version of sciatica and I definitely loved the change. It is tiring sometimes to stand long periods of time but I combine sitting and standing. Standing in the morning and after lunch and sitting in between those periods and late in the evening. It requires time and discipline to get your back better and if you misbehave just once in terms of bad posture or carrying heavy items, you'll feel like you start from scratch again. Now you shouldn't try any exercise, but once you get better just performing 30 mins of squatting and planking series (mild at the beginning) will reinforce your core and will give you more endurance. Also is equipment free. I am saying all of this so you can keep up making videos, of course ;)
Well... here I am after pausing the video 10000 times to copy down the macros. LMAO Thank you so much for this video! coming from a shaman main. (well... warrior now) this was very helpful!
If you still have chronic pain you might want to look up Healing Back Pain by Dr Sarno. I had similar symptoms for over 2 years and it wasn't until I read his book that I started to feel better, after having tried PT, ergnomic & posture changes, chiropractors, etc.
Warrior is my fav class on WoW. I thought I almost knew everything besides some details. Man, this guide is through the rough. Anyone can learn something in it. Thank you for sharing ! 👏
First time ever playing a War in TBC after being a caster since original vanilla days - was totally overwhelmed and may as well have been pressing my whole hand into the keyboard trying to keep up with all the stance dancing etc - this video was incredible and helped me see what I was doing wrong and made it so much simpler... macros to never have to worry about what stance you're in. Genius. Hope you'll do more!
very good video, got this randomly recomanded. I was MT for a guild that cleared KT week 1 on classic, I was using a lot of similar macros, I completly agree that it's better to not combine skills in one buttons - effectively, I was litteraly never using a stance, my stance always changed automaticly depending on what I was doing - I think that if as a warrior you manually change stance, it's a mistake. One little thing I was doing for the equip shield macro, I was using the same trick with adding a click in the macro to click a bar button, but actually I was directly puting my shield and my 2h in my bars, and clicking on those through the macro - this way when you get a new weapon or shield you just drag and drop it from your bag to your bars, I find that easier that going into the macro menu and editing a macro (even if this is only one macro). Great video, very good advices.
I have watched a few macro guides now. This is the first one I have actually been able to understand🥇🙌 thanks for keeping it simple and easy to understand.
for anyone having issues with the /click command, it looks like blizz took out the functionality of using /click with other macros, but for the shield block macro I found a work around: #showtooltip Shield Block /startattack [combat,harm,nodead] /stopcasting [noworn:Shields] /click MultiBarRightButton1 /click MultiBarRightButton2 /cast Shield Block /cast Defensive Stance then click and drag your 1hander and shield to the corresponding button locations in the macro, and that should allow the macro to function
I got it to work using this workaround. When you use it, does it give you an error message "Must have a Shield equipped"? It's more of an annoyance than a real issue.
This workaround does not work for me. If I prepare a simple "/click MultiBarRightButton1" macro and insert any other macro to that exact button spot, it does not work. Any ideas?
A better work around for all the macros is getting the addon ItemRack, then use /itemrack equip (set name) you can make all of the click macros work by doing this, just make the gear set with itemrack addon, name it 2h or whatever, then add that line to whatever macro where you would have put the /click command instead. I just did it and works for all the macros.
I have just recently got back into classic wow on the anniversary realms. Playing with some old wow mates and wanting to play warrior so I can tank at 60. These macros have made such a difference to my play style. Thanks for this in-depth guide.
I realize I'm very late to the party, but I just had to comment on how well done your videos are, the expertise and the delivery, it's the kind of thing you scrub through youtube hoping to find but never do. Until you do. Also, I appreciated the humor and small edits and the extra mile you went in consideration of how awkward HS/Whirlwind conflicts could be resolved and then the extra extra mile on the /click shield updates. Thanks for the videos
Great guide man, Ive always had alittle trouble with the stance dancing and multiple skills and this has helped me out alot, everything seems to work in SOD too.
Mate, you have no idea how much you helped me!!! Had all these macros with different abilities depending on stance and it drove me crazy. Also stopped my actionbar from swapping. YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!
i hear lots of people hate the fact that warriors need so many macros i think its awsome you basically customize your abilities and have options on how to do so thats so cool
At 5:15, talking about Hamstring. Isnt it better to NOT assign the ability to a stance at all? So that you can use it in either Battle or Berserker without having to chose one? The ability straight out of the spellbook makes it possible to use in both.
on the Hamstring macros, the stance change line will only activate if you're in a stance you can't use it in. If you're already in Battle or Berserker, it won't change stances. That's what [form:2] condition checks for.
Fantastic. Video is very well made and informative. Fortunately in SoD I don't have many abilities lol. Liking and you will probably have many replays from me while I set my macro up
Good to see that you've returned. Sorry to hear about your back and you have my well wishes towards your recovery. I'd like to know what is going to be your main/alt for Shadowlands. Will you be covering that content on your channel or is this primarily Classic. Great job on the vid as always.
thanks man, I appreciate it. I'll be maining resto Druid to start, but I'm holding onto my 50 boost for whichever PvP healer really slots itself as the solid pick. oh and yes! I'll definitely cover that content on this channel.
the second you defended tellmewhen was the moment I knew I have I needed to subscribe . I too fell that tellmewhen is easier and if not equal it's better for what I need it for.
Fantastic video and presentation. I got lost quite often but it's simply because I'm not used to having to re-imagine how I play the game with binding mousewheels and removing often used shortcuts. And hope the sciatica worked itself out over the last few years. I had exactly what you had (piriformis) and it took a couple years to get back to strength.
/cast [nocombat] Battle Stance /cast [nocombat] charge /cast [form:2] Stance /cast hamstring You'd have to choose battle or berserker when typing it in which will probably be battle I'm guessing. This is the first macro I've made so thanks for the built in homework.
2:15 isn't the reason given to not use charge and intercept on the same macro purely a pvp one? i don't see many opportunity in pve to need to separate them if i can use them on the same macro
I suppose you still need a macro to switch back to Battle Stance and equip dual wield weapons if you have just switched into Defensive Stance and auto equippted shield and a 1hander. Can you do that one?
so what about all the attacks that need 2 hander? do we just click the button to swap or do we put it in the macro to equip the 2 hander? like if i need to swap to shield for 1 second then back do another attack i'd want a 2h for what then?
i clicked on this to hate watch the awful information you were supposed to feed ppl, but i was pleasantly surprised, good vid and generally good info !
I have a little problem going on and i hope you know how to fix it... I'm currently using your binds and macros but my "/click MultiBarRightButton11" have stopped working... i don't know why though, i can manually klick on the macro/ button with my mouse but it doesn't work when i try to use it with for example my Shield Bash Macro who says that i want to press the "MultiBarRightButton11". and This is only a problem with other macros that gives commands... if i for example put my "smelting" skill on the 11 bar it presses the skill. But it doesn't give me my shield and onehanded weapon anymore so i pretty much cant use any of the commands who have the "MultiBarRightButton11" in it ? :/
You can use /fstack to hover the button to get its name. (use /fstack again to close after) I had it working in Bartender a few years ago. However, I just tried to get this working with the default blizzard UI and with Dominos and using /click in macros no longer seems to work. Blizzard might've changed something with macros that broke it, or maybe it was an unintended feature that they removed.
thanks for the awesome video, I hope you still check the comments and can help me. Did you use an addon for more macro space? In the video you can see that you have more than 18 character slots. Thanks for the help
Amazing guide! I know it's been 3 years but I have a question. Should Mortal Strike and Heroic Strike put you in Berserker Stance for max dps or would that waste too much rage?
Man this guide I come back to it everytime the refresh servers. This time the shield bash macro will not work. Won’t swap into my shield it just keeps saying I have to equip my shield. I’m using the multi bar right button 11 and have the proper wepon swap macros. Anyone else having problems?
Best workaround ive found is to drag your 1h/shield to your bars and have your macro /click them. Its an extra line in the macro since youll have to click two buttons, one for the shield and one for the 1h, but it works the same and just as easy to update as an /equip macro.

Ha, nice, been using basically the same ones.

@WhatSupp definitely different button. Sometimes you want to dps with 1h-shield. Think when fighting rogue
Getting ready for SoD and i cant express how much this video helped me. I really hope your health has improved since this video. Take care
same
Amazing video, literally changed my life as a warrior lol. Had no idea you could combine stances and casts. Thank you.
Warrior is my fav class on WoW.
I thought I almost knew everything besides some details.
Man, this guide is through the rough.
Anyone can learn something in it.
Thank you for sharing !
👏
Hands down the best macro video for warriors looking for which ones to actually make.
First time ever playing a War in TBC after being a caster since original vanilla days - was totally overwhelmed and may as well have been pressing my whole hand into the keyboard trying to keep up with all the stance dancing etc - this video was incredible and helped me see what I was doing wrong and made it so much simpler... macros to never have to worry about what stance you're in. Genius. Hope you'll do more!
This is the best content about macros I have ever seen!!!
Puts to shame all other macro guides by far!! You helped me so much Thank you!!
Thanks! glad it helped
Rarely comment but this video is sensational! Years of knowledge crammed into 20 minutes bravo my friend.
very good video, got this randomly recomanded.

I’m using this for Fresh Era this Thursday. Thank you so much! I’ve been playing SoD like a complete dummy
Everytime I start getting overwhelmed with my number or complexity of keybinds I come back here and it relaxes and focuses me. GG.
Just blew a circuit in my brain lol, amazing video.

damn youre my hero i was struggeliung the past 20 mins ty sir

@@stillnotchill2560 Great call, saves the space on the bars as well!
Really needed this for HC wow thank you!

Great guide man, Ive always had alittle trouble with the stance dancing and multiple skills and this has helped me out alot, everything seems to work in SOD too.
Just coming back to classic, what an awesome video man!
Mate, you have no idea how much you helped me!!! Had all these macros with different abilities depending on stance and it drove me crazy. Also stopped my actionbar from swapping.
YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!

Saved my SOD 😂 ty sir!
Best classic warr video EVER!!!!
Really useful. It's not my style of macros but this video provided me some great tips and tricks I'll definitely be using come fresh classic!
This is Awsome, thanks for your hard work and time on this.
i hear lots of people hate the fact that warriors need so many macros i think its awsome you basically customize your abilities and have options on how to do so thats so cool
Once it's done they are awesome but learning them, how to make em, etc is a pain
Thank you for this from the future.
Instantly subbed. You’re a wizard my g.

best macro guide i’ve seen thus far. good shit dude. hope you decide to do tbc content as well.
and wotlk :P
That overpower mouse over macro man, life saver for me
This video helped me so much I've always been that guy to hate macros but your post and video changed my opinion ''tank'' you very much man.
This is awesome, took my macro game to the next level, thanks mate!
Dude thank you so much this is exactly what i needed
Fantastic. Video is very well made and informative. Fortunately in SoD I don't have many abilities lol. Liking and you will probably have many replays from me while I set my macro up
Great video. Thank you for all your effort.
Thank you so much for your sharing. It helped me alot!

Glad I found this right before classic fresh!
best video for warrior macros...thank you!
Awesome video man. Thanks for putting it together!
By far the best macros video.
the second you defended tellmewhen was the moment I knew I have I needed to subscribe . I too fell that tellmewhen is easier and if not equal it's better for what I need it for.
Thank you! Your video really helped me ❤
this video is the holy grail! Thank you so much
Fantastic video and presentation. I got lost quite often but it's simply because I'm not used to having to re-imagine how I play the game with binding mousewheels and removing often used shortcuts. And hope the sciatica worked itself out over the last few years. I had exactly what you had (piriformis) and it took a couple years to get back to strength.
Thanks! I still have it, but I have exercises that help now. Doing alright nowadays.
Amazing video!!! Even some great info in there for vets!
this is perfect.
well explained and full of info.
thanks
Tnx Man! You pro! Not a noob here ! i Know most of the macros ! But the shield bash/pummel one never made it to work as it should ! Now it does ! /bow
Wow that was an awesome video!
Incredible awsome video! Great job!
The best macro video I have found
Amazing video
Amazing video. Thank you!
Tysm i looking for this great video
/cast [nocombat] Battle Stance
/cast [nocombat] charge
/cast [form:2] Stance
/cast hamstring
You'd have to choose battle or berserker when typing it in which will probably be battle I'm guessing.
This is the first macro I've made so thanks for the built in homework.
Awesome guide, you earned new sub :)
2:15 isn't the reason given to not use charge and intercept on the same macro purely a pvp one?
i don't see many opportunity in pve to need to separate them if i can use them on the same macro
12:16 that most definitely happens. I can't tell you how much this would have helped me.
good vid man
Great content. Very useful
This is so helpful. I'm struggling with weapon swap + shield bash macro. I just won't work
I suppose you still need a macro to switch back to Battle Stance and equip dual wield weapons if you have just switched into Defensive Stance and auto equippted shield and a 1hander. Can you do that one?
Amazing guide, thank you
Dude, game changer.
so what about all the attacks that need 2 hander? do we just click the button to swap or do we put it in the macro to equip the 2 hander? like if i need to swap to shield for 1 second then back do another attack i'd want a 2h for what then?
Excellent guide! And I agree with you that tellmewhen is superior to weakauras 😁
awesome awesome video thank you!
this guy is actually a genius
I give you credit trough it really helps with stance without hover like an idiot :D , thanks allot you are a legend !
Thanks for sharing!
Excellent guide. :) Still helping
Thank you my dude!
Great Video!!!!
i clicked on this to hate watch the awful information you were supposed to feed ppl, but i was pleasantly surprised, good vid and generally good info !
thanks this was great
For some reason the /click MultiBar commands don't work. Could it be cause I'm using bartender?
Yes, there was a workaround mentioned in a comment, but think it might have been another video.
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage( GetMouseFocus():GetName() );
I am trying to figure out how after switching to sword and shield, what is the easiest way to get back to your 2 handed?
very infomrative Video, thank you very much =)
Thank you so much for the video. How do I prevent stances from changing my action bar?
I just drag my weapons onto my bar and use the /click line. Avoids have to make separate equip macros
For the Hamstring conundrum, I just have both my charge and my intercept cast Hamstring
I considered this too actually. Definitely a good solution.
if you re using mouse scroll down / up buttons for keybindings but how can you also control zoom in and out?
great video ty so much
I have a little problem going on and i hope you know how to fix it...
I'm currently using your binds and macros but my "/click MultiBarRightButton11" have stopped working... i don't know why though, i can manually klick on the macro/ button with my mouse but it doesn't work when i try to use it with for example my Shield Bash Macro who says that i want to press the "MultiBarRightButton11". and This is only a problem with other macros that gives commands... if i for example put my "smelting" skill on the 11 bar it presses the skill. But it doesn't give me my shield and onehanded weapon anymore so i pretty much cant use any of the commands who have the "MultiBarRightButton11" in it ? :/
How would you use the 'shield equip /click multiBar' macro @ 8:50 with bartender? If you can
You can use /fstack to hover the button to get its name. (use /fstack again to close after) I had it working in Bartender a few years ago. However, I just tried to get this working with the default blizzard UI and with Dominos and using /click in macros no longer seems to work.

a rare video made of someone who actually knows what he is doing, not these braindead long ones where they need 5 minutes just to say they play WoW
Amazing guide!
I know it's been 3 years but I have a question. Should Mortal Strike and Heroic Strike put you in Berserker Stance for max dps or would that waste too much rage?
If you PvP, I want to say no.
If you PvE, mayyybe on Mortal Strike. Didn't get a chance to raid on warrior, so I may not be qualified here haha
Cool video, could you make binds video guide for a pally?
very good video
Doesn’t having a stance swap on all abilities lose you a lot of rage as you switch stances more than necessary?
without an MMO mouse, the amount of keybinds this creates is pretty wild
Was wondering how you're able to change stances but the icons on your hotbar remain the same.
Great vid
Insane guide wtf
Man this guide I come back to it everytime the refresh servers. This time the shield bash macro will not work. Won’t swap into my shield it just keeps saying I have to equip my shield. I’m using the multi bar right button 11 and have the proper wepon swap macros. Anyone else having problems?
yeah same

Tnx for this wonderful video. Does all of this apply to wolkt?
