WoW Forever Warrior Macros

40 Warrior macros, 3 of them for spells that are new in Forever. Filter by talent path and level, then copy one into the game.

Essential Warrior macros

Picked from the macros players search these pages for, then one for each basic job of a talent path: opener, main attack, interrupt, survival or healing. Every other macro is in the full list below.

Every Warrior

Charge out of combat, Intercept in it
- Any talent path
- Level 30+
One gap closer: out of combat it goes to Battle Stance and Charges; in combat, to Berserker Stance and Intercepts. Press again after the swap.

Stance or form first
```
#showtooltip
/cast [nocombat,nostance:1] Battle Stance; [nocombat] Charge; [nostance:3] Berserker Stance; Intercept
```
115/255
Interrupt in any stance
- Any talent path
- Level 38+
Shield Bash in Battle or Defensive Stance, Pummel in Berserker Stance: one key for every interrupt.

The game picks
```
#showtooltip
/cast [stance:1/2] Shield Bash; Pummel
```
51/255
Victory Rush, else Heroic Strike
- Any talent path
- Level 20+
- New in Forever
One button for after a kill: Victory Rush (new at 20) heals you when it lights up; otherwise the press queues Heroic Strike.

First choice, then fallback
```
#showtooltip
/cast Victory Rush
/cast Heroic Strike
```
51/255

Arms

Overpower from any stance
- Arms
- Level 12+

```
61/255
Three taunts on one key

Why the macros are written this way

A macro here does one thing: it takes a step off your hands (a target change, a stance swap, a second key). It never decides for you, and one press is still one global cooldown. Every macro is built on one of these rules, named on its card.

Mouseover: A spell you cast on someone other than your target (a heal, a dispel, an interrupt, crowd control) shouldn’t cost you your target. The macro casts on the unit under your cursor and falls back to your target, so it still works as the plain spell.
Shift for the second spell: Two spells you never want on the same press (a single-target and an area attack, two traps, two wards) share one key: a press gives the one you use most, Shift the other. It saves bar space without hiding a choice from you.
Shift and Ctrl for more: Three spells of one family (your stings, your curses, your demons) fit one key: a press gives the one you use most, Shift and Ctrl the others. Past three it gets hard to remember, so we stop there unless Alt has an obvious job.
Stance or form first: Abilities tied to a stance or form do nothing in the wrong one. The macro makes the swap on the first press and casts on the next: two presses, because a swap and an ability can’t share one.
The game picks: Where the right spell depends on something the game already knows (your stance, whether you’re in combat or stealthed, whether your pet is alive), the macro reads it and picks, so one key is right in both cases.
A free cooldown first: One press can only start one global cooldown. Two spells go on one press only when the first doesn’t use it (Presence of Mind, Nature’s Swiftness, Bloodrage). We never chain two spells that both do: the second would just fail.
First choice, then fallback: Some abilities only light up now and then: after a kill, a dodge or a proc. The macro tries that one first; when it can’t be cast, the press goes to your everyday attack, so the key is never dead.
Start attacking: A melee ability that fails (no Rage, no Energy, out of range) leaves you standing still. /startattack turns on your auto attack with the press, so you keep swinging either way.
Pick a target first: A press wasted on “no target” or on a corpse is time lost. /targetenemy picks the nearest enemy, and the conditions in front of it ([noharm][dead]) only let it run when you have no live enemy targeted, so it never pulls you off the one you chose. [@targettarget] goes the other way: the spell lands on whatever your target is fighting.
Clear the way first: Escapes and interrupts fail for small reasons: a swing that lands a moment late, a cast still running, a pet that keeps fighting. The macro stops those first, so the spell does what you pressed it for.
Trinkets with a cooldown: On-use trinkets don’t use the global cooldown, so they fire with your damage cooldown on one press. /use 13 and /use 14 are the two trinket slots, so the macro keeps working when you change trinkets.
Racial with your trinkets: A racial cooldown belongs on the same press as your on-use trinkets. The macro names both Horde damage racials: the game skips the line for the race you aren’t, so one macro serves an Orc and a Troll.
Your own items: Weapon swaps and consumables go by item name, and only you know yours. The macro has a placeholder (Shield Name, Pet Food Name): replace it with the exact name of your item, as its tooltip spells it. /equip takes a weapon or shield in combat; /equipslot 16 is the main hand, 17 the off hand. Since Blizzard’s October 8 development notes, one press can again swap several weapons within the same global cooldown, a two-hander for a sword and shield for example. Forever has not announced a reversal; this has not been rechecked against client build 1.60.1.70862.

How to add a macro

Type /macro in chat, or open the Game Menu and choose Macros.
Press New, pick an icon (the question mark lets #showtooltip pick the spell’s own) and give it a name.
Paste the macro into the box and drag its icon to your action bar.

The spell names are the English client’s. Playing in Chinese? The Chinese pages give the same macros with the Chinese client’s names. Macros cast your highest rank, and that is deliberate: since Blizzard’s October 1 development notes, the character sheet says spells far below your level get less from your spell power and trigger class abilities and talents less often (Blizzard’s example: a Rank 1 Frostbolt at level 60 has a 0% chance to trigger Frostbite), so the Classic habit of downranking pays less in Forever. Forever has not announced a reversal; this has not been rechecked against client build 1.60.1.70862 spell tooltips. Spell and ability names come from the game client’s data, so they match that client. We have not run every macro in the live game; launch reports confirm plain /cast lines run and that a stance change plus an ability needs two presses. Player-name targeting and invites remain unverified.

Not confirmed yet

Mouseover and modifier conditions, pet commands, cast sequences, weapon swaps, and anything that targets or invites a player by name have not all been verified in the live game
Spells that change in later client builds; the pages are rebuilt when the client changes
