Macros
Macros are simple, in-game tools which allow you to sequence spells together, create custom names and icons, cast different abilities depending on whether the target is friendly or hostile, define targeting conditions, and much, much more. While the amount of options can be complex, making them is easy, so in this section we'll go over how to set them up yourself.
To open the in-game Macro interface, type "/macro" or "/m".
Choose between the General and Character-specific macro tabs. Then click the "New" button on the macro window.
Choose a Name and an Icon so you can easily recognize your macro, then click "Okay."
Select your new macro and use the text editor below to tell it what to do. If copying ours below, you can simply copy/paste the text in.
Click the "Save" button, and drag your macro icon onto your bars, which will allow it to be used just like any other spell from your spellbook.
To close the window, click "Exit", or just press Escape.
For more information on creating macros, including full lists of conditionals, modifiers, and other command customizations you can use, check out our full
Macros guide
.
Ability Replacement
A new conditional has been added to allow macros to check for known talents. Although this isn't
particularly
necessary anymore due to the talent loadout system automatically replacing action bars for the saved set, it can still be helpful for players who frequently experiment with new talent setups without changing their saved loadouts entirely.
This example will cast either Cleave or Slam, based on whether
Cleave
is talented.
#showtooltip
/cast Cleave; Slam
Checking for passive modifying talents requires the use of the talent spell ID instead of it's name. This example will cast either Whirlwind or Slam based on whether
Fervor of Battle
is talented.
#showtooltip
/cast Whirlwind; Slam
Spear & Torment
Requiring two rapid presses, this will allow
Spear of Bastion
to be used near-simultaneously with
Avatar
, in order for
Elysian Might
to buff a Torment triggered Bladestorm.
#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=3 Spear of Bastion, Avatar
Utility
Combine
Charge
and
Victory Rush
into one keybind. Victory Rush will be used when in melee range, and Charge when out. It can also cancel Bladestorm when Hurricane is
not
talented.
#showtooltip
/cast Charge
/cast Victory Rush
/cancelaura Bladestorm
Intervene
can also be worked in, although the syntax becomes trickier in order to show the correct ability at the correct time. Due to this, it may be beneficial to track their cooldowns separately and only use this for consolidating keybinds.
#showtooltip
/cast Charge
/cast Victory Rush
/cast Intervene
Cast
Execute
at your mouseover target, or your primary target if you do not currently have a different target highlighted.
#showtooltip Execute
/cast Execute
Cast
Pummel
, prioritizing any existing focus target over your current one.
#showtooltip Pummel
/cast Pummel
Automatically cast
Heroic Leap
wherever your cursor is aimed, skipping the targeting reticule. Also works with the Kyrian Covenant ability
Spear of Bastion
.
#showtooltip Heroic Leap
/cast Heroic Leap
Cooldowns
Cast
Colossus Smash
, along with any racial abilities or trinkets for maximum burst.
#showtooltip Colossus Smash
/use Colossus Smash
/use Blood Fury
/use Berserking
/use Ancestral Call
/use 13
/use 14
Addons
Addons are powerful tools that can be used to both customize your gameplay experience, ranging from graphical overlays, replacement action bars, and unit/raid frames, to performance enhancements such as rotation helping spell reminders, buff/debuff tracking, popup reminders, and boss warnings. Here are some of the highly recommended and commonly used Arms Warrior addons, which are certainly not required to play, but can go a long way toward increasing the information available to you in combat or simply make for a more pleasant viewing experience.
Unlike Macros, managing Addons is done outside of the game, but our
How to Install and Maintain Addons Guide
will take you step-by-step through the process.
