Berserker Rage Macro for easy fear avoidence.

It’s no secret that Berserker Rage makes warriors immune to fear and as a result a number of bosses will periodically fear in order to keep the warrior awake. Well if you’re like me and you’d rather not pay as much attention ;) then this macro is for you.

# show Berserker Rage
/cast [stance:3] Berserker Rage; Berserker Stance
/cast Defensive Stance

This macro checks if you are in Berserker Stance and if you aren’t it switches you to Berserker Stance. If you are in Berserker Stance it uses Berserker Rage and finally if you are in Berserker Stance and Berserker Rage is on cooldown, it will switch you back to Defensive Stance.

The end result is that when you are in Defensive Stance you can spam one button to switch into Berserker Stance, use Berserker Rage and switch back to Defensive Stance as fast as possible.

    I confess, for fights like Nightbane, I do use a macro similar to this. With a two second casting time, I just don’t want to chance taking the time to manually switch stances and hit beserker rage when all I have to do is make the macro, key bind it, and bam, done. Some consider it cheating, but like I said, you’ve got two seconds to react, and if you get feared, you most likely wipe the raid– I’d rather sacrifice my pride and make extra efforts to not wipe everyone and waste their time, money, and consumables.

    Might need some help here. I tried using this macro tonight:

    # show Berserker Rage
    /cast [stance:3] Berserker Rage; Berserker Stance
    /cast Defensive Stance

    Either Blizz changed something or I am missing something. In my test this macro will change my stance on first click, performing Berzerker Rage requires a second click of the macro and will never return me to Defensive stance.

    Let me know what you think the problem is.

    This is almost always an issue with extra spacing. Instead of copy pasting, try typing the macro in.

    @Venekor
    It works it just requires you to click it three times

    First: Changes Berk stance
    Second: cast Berserk Rage
    Third: changes Def Stance

    Because of GCD you have to hit it 3 times

    question tho, is there a way to get around the gcd? I know that blizz removed the wait command but will something else work

    Small improvement (IMHO)

    #show Berserker Rage
    /cast [stance:3] Berserker Rage; Berserker Stance
    /cast [noequipped:shields] Battle Stance; Defensive Stance

    This change will reset your to Defensive if u have a shield and Battle if u don’t.

    Does this macro still work or did it need to be changed after patch 2.3? I was trying to write something similar but I couldn’t get it to work.

    Does the macro listed above

    #show Berserker Rage
    /cast [stance:3] Berserker Rage; Berserker Stance
    /cast [noequipped:shields] Battle Stance; Defensive Stance

    Need to be hit once or three times?

    I definately need something like this for nightbane.
