As a warrior, your toolbars are undoubtedly overfull with a variety of abilities. Here’s a nice, easy way to free up a couple spots that I stumbled across at Tankspot thanks to Lore.

#showtooltip item:32578
/use item:22105
/use item:22104
/use item:22103
/use item:32578

Basically all in 1 button, it uses the biggest Healthstone possible and if no healthstone is available then it tries to use a Charge Crystal Focus. I’ve tweeked it a little to show the tooltip for the Charge Crystal Focus since those are stackable to 20 and it’ll let you easily keep track of how many you have remaining.

So a while ago, I completed a passive uncrushable set, but I’m getting ahead of myself.

What’s Passive Uncrushabe?

It’s gearing yourself in such a way that you don’t have to hit the Shield Block button in order to avoid getting hit with a Crushing Blow. It means that every single time a mob attacks you, it’s going to Miss, be Dodged, Parried, or Blocked. (Pretty Insane, I know!) Basically, it’s ideal for any fast attacking boss.

How do we go about achieving this?

1. Block Rating
2. Defense Rating
3. Dodge Rating
4. Parry Rating

*After extensive testing I’ve found that this macro is bad and no longer recommend it’s use.*
*As of Patch 2.3 Devastate applies a Sunder Armor affect as well as benefiting from the Improved Sunder Armor talent. This means that you should remove Sunder Armor from your action bar and used Devastate instead.*

/script SetCVar(”targetNearestDistance”, 10)
/targetenemy
/script SetCVar(”targetNearestDistance”, 41)
/cast Sunder Armor
/targetlasttarget

So what does this do?

When you are focusing your threat on one target and you press this button it will move to the nearest target within 10 yards, Sunder it, and then go back to attacking your primary target. It’s so fast that you’ll be tempted to check to make sure it even happened!

…that you’ll always forget to use.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a warrior say “Taunt Resisted!” followed by everyone dying only to find out that they didn’t even attempt to Mocking Blow. Well the following macro should give you no excuse.

# show Mocking Blow
/cast [stance:1] Mocking Blow; Battle Stance
/cast Defensive Stance

Simpler in implementation to the Berserker Rage Macro, it allows you to basically just spam one button in order to save your over-eager party members life after a ill-timed taunt resist.

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.
