Warriors typically do not need many macros to play effectively, althoughsome are nice quality of life improvements. The most important ones are forusing Tormented talents or the Signet of Tormented Kings legendarypower, as they cause some abilitis to execute simultaneously.

Unfortunately, the new talent system does not contain any functionality forusing an ability only if a specific talent is selected, so switch macros likecombining Slam and Whirlwind into one button depending on whether Fervor ofBattle is talented have been removed for the time being.

Bladestorm has also become a protected buff, meaning it cannot be cancelleduntil its duration runs out, so that macro has been removed as well.

• #showtooltip
• /cast [@player] Champion's Spear
• /cast Avatar

This simple macro will use Avatar and Champion's Spear simultaneously, which is of particular use when using Signet of Tormented Kings in combination with Champion's Might,in order to ensure that an automatically-triggered Bladestorm willnot prevent the Spear from being used.

• #showtooltip Pummel
• /cast [@focus, harm, exists][@target] Pummel

This macro uses Pummel against your focus target, if you haveone, or against your current target if you have no focus target.

• #showtooltip Heroic Leap
• /cast [@cursor] Heroic Leap

This will cast Heroic Leap where ever your cursor is located,without waiting for the targeting circle.

• #showtooltip Heroic Leap
• /cast !Heroic Leap

This allows you to spam the Heroic Leap button, but still retainthe ground-targeting circle.

• #showtooltip
• /cast Charge
• /cast Victory Rush

Because Charge is off the Global Cooldown, Victory Rush or any other meleeability can be used on the same keybind. When outside of melee range, Chargewill be cast instead.

• #showtooltip Colossus Smash
• /use Colossus Smash
• /use Blood Fury
• /use Berserking
• /use 13
• /use 14

This macro uses any off global cooldown racial abilities and any equippedtrinkets alongside Colossus Smash.

Here, at Icy Veins, we useElvUIfor all our characters. This addon is a complete replacement of the defaultUser Interface. It comes with almost everything you need to perform properly:action bars, cooldown timers, proc display, etc.

We strongly recommend that you get this addon and our forum moderator Pandacho has writtena quick configuration guide for it.

Boss mods are addons that warn you about boss abilities and give youlive advice on how to handle some mechanics. We strongly recommend you toget one such addon. At Icy Veins, we mostly useDeadly Boss Mods,the most popular boss mod. A good alternative isBig Wigs.

GTFO is a lightweightaddon that notifies you when you are standing in harmful effects or when youare making other such mistakes. It is very useful, even if your boss mod isalready alerting you of such things.

Parrot andMik's Scrolling Battle Text are highlycustomisable addons for displaying floating battle text while in combat (incomingheals, damage of your spells, etc.). They both work very well by default.

WeakAuras is anextremely useful addon that allows you to have visual effects on your screen,helping you track your buffs, debuffs and cooldowns. It is highly customisableand it can make it much, much easier to keep track of your procs and play yourspec more proficiently. It can also be used for a variety of otherfunctions.

TellMeWhen is anextremely useful addon with a user-friendly interface that allows you to tracka multitude of things, from internal cooldowns, to buffs, debuffs, andprocs.

Raeli's Spell Announceris an extremely useful addon that allows you to send announcements whenever youuse certain spells. It is of particular use to announce when you use raidcooldowns or other important abilities.

Recount is awell known addon that most people use for displaying current DPS or HPS(Healing Per Second). This add-on is not really lightweight, and provides avery high amount of information (and it can sometimes cause issues withperformance). It is generally a good option to use Recount for checking what youtake damage from and if the share of damage/healing you do with each of yourabilities is similar to that of other players of your class.

An alternative to Recount (similar in function, so the choice is personalpreference) is Details!.

A lightweight alternative to Recount and Details! is Skada Damage Meter.

Omen Threat Meteris the most popular addon for displaying the current threat levels on yourtarget. We recommend you to use it to avoid taking aggro when the tank is still buildingup threat on an enemy.

Currently, we feel that there is no need for additional addons to play anArms Warrior to its full potential.
