Swifty's NEW Oneshot Macro for Tanking in WoW Classic

[@mohamedgelidan9632]

old school Swifty is best Swifty! thanks for the macro!

Aw man, Swifty putting out how-to WoW vids like back in the day. I can't wait for those wicked PvP one-shot montages.

[@d9nx239]

This video felt like the old Swifty. Finally! Thanks.

[@neodemus]

ty for your work, did a variation Reason: added another whirlwind, passed that CD with a Cleave and also added /startattack --- --- --- #showtooltip Sweeping Strikes /startattack /castsequence reset=9 Sweeping Strikes, Berserker Stance, Berserker Rage, Whirlwind, Battle Stance, Thunder Clap, Berserker Stance, Cleave, Whirlwind, Battle Stance, Thunderclap --- --- --- I did experiment with stance switching before the castsequence, no dice

[@tcfkappa8007]

Haven't seen a video in 7 years. This is nostalllllgic

[@Djuntas]

I finally found a solution. The spells need to be on the same line, they're all part of the cast sequence. You can do this rotation without the macro btw, this just makes it easier...Save up 40-50 rage and enjoy. Its great. #showtooltip Sweeping Strikes /castsequence reset=15 Sweeping Strikes,Berserker Stance,Berserker Rage,Whirlwind,Battle Stance,Thunder Clap

[@kassokilleri2ff]

This works for me except it won’t cast thunderclap strangely.

[@thunderlord5213]

wow a real video that's not a stream highlight

[@OsoBlanco17]

Swifty is my favorite WoW personality.

[@clevelandtyler2]

This macro doesn't seem to be working for me. It never changes stances or uses whirlwind. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[@Drewmacg96]

same with me, cant get it to change stances

[@communistwoman]

Boy, I've missed this. This video is just as nostalgic as wow classic.

[@ru99414]

Theres just a huge difference in making a video and how he says "hope you enjoyed the video", in contrast to stream clips

[@michael96412]

Are u saying he has more fun making videos than streaming?

[@ehsanrezaei2420]

first time watching you , definitely subscribe and recommend your stuff to others , cheers mate

[@dan5ku]

I play warrior in classic and I probably should be interested to learn the stuff he was talking about but I really wasn't... I just loved to watch old school Swifty video. Love it

[@Kangasound]

Swifty has been my favorite player since like 2009. Wish wow community was mature enough to appreciate him other than kids like asmongold

[@sofakingdom3076]

Can't appreciate both?

It's time for Classic PvP when it's available 😊

[@laustsen5672]

Swifty when i use macro is just write Say/ berserker stance, berserker rage,...... i change whirlwind to cleave because i am not 36 yet. what am i doing wrong??

[@chucknorris-bz6yl]

[@chucknorris-bz6yl]

I remember going thru this dungeon as you made it look easy as a tank with the macro Guild dad lol !

[@america795]

nice finally a video showing how to tank with 2h with no complicated Talents ETCCC and it works lets gooo

[@Vejinx]

Swifty, Thank you so much for making videos like these. I'm gonna level up a night elf warrior soon too. This will help a lot.

[@rad0r764]

Hello @Swift , an alternative to the sweaping strike? I'm fury build , i tried to find your video about fury tanking ....no luck , thx

[@trollonme]

No dual wield tanking? id like to see your input on this.

[@sinatraforeign]

best way

[@Jdrichardson35christ]

Not really at his level. You'll miss way too much until you have the talents or gear to not miss.

[@rafaelzorzal569]

cesar velazco it only works at lvl 60

[@bubless15]

What's the significance of the number in the marcro? For example, reset=15. Im low lvl and dont have some of these skills. Wanted to create my own sequence. I feel like if i dont know the importance of this number, it won't work. Can anyone shed some light?

[@andrewchavez4334]

Learned this from skarm but didn’t rely on macros, definitely will use this macro!

[@PeaceuponallxD]

its not working for some reason it keeps spamming the chat , then i removed the space from each skill the sequence worked for the first 2 skills only , any help ?

[@simonmusics]

I have the same issue! Realy weird! Please some help on this.

[@mfaraz]

There are couple of extra linefeed character in the macro when you copy it from the description .. make sure to paste it in a notepad and remove those (castsequence should be in one continuous line without extra linefeed/carriage returns

Hello @swifty. May I ask what things you have bind to your razer naga?

[@mohijit]

Miss these videos, Swifty!

[@alexfithero]

Isn't it sunder armor everything and everyone hits the same target tank is hitting and warrior goes around rendering everything? And does waits before attacking for sunder armor

[@ProdigalInk]

No because mages seem to start asoon as you charge in at most till get 1 sunder on two targets then your out of rage because no npcs are hitting you.

[@thevlaka]

yepp but it seems communicating is still a thing of the past in classic.

[@travisopbroek7952]

I am new to warrior tanking in classic and I am wondering Are you in prot or arms spec while doing this tanking macro. Thank you Swifty you are the best

[@riqueteph3301]

Hey Swifty did you ever try to do a "war shield dps" in classic ? Like when you played with the gladiator's stance ? Is it possible in classic ? Just curious about that Great video btw Cheers

[@grogdagamer8254]

New to Wow, and having problems making this work. Do I just press it once and it does the entire combo, or am I supposed to press it multiple times?

[@cumfield]

you have to remove the first space, and also maybe the space after commas "," however you do have to press it multiple times for each ability.

[@cumfield]

which would be 6 times.

[@grogdagamer8254]

@@cumfield yo thank you so much! Yea I tested it out more and figured it out slowly. Didnt know I had to spam the button, but it does make it easier just tapping 1, rather than 5 different keys

Can you make a quick video on the spec you use for 2H arms tank?

[@MrSh4des]

Ive been tanking with two hander and good gear. You need to run in first and at least land one cleave or whirlwind before group starts dpsing like swifty says its hard to keep agro.

[@Suinchistreams]

Very nice macro. I was second in DPS with this as a tank.

Oh ideal..Thanks swifty

[@MitchellNabkey]

@swifty you are probably the best dps warrior so please help. If you que a heroic strike or cleave, your offhand weapon does not suffer the duel weild penalty while the attack is qued. There is a macro something like: #showtooltip /cast heroic strike /cancelcasting /startattack But you have to press this twice each autoattack, there is a way to bake it into your normal abilities but I cant figure it out and the warrior I know who does know the solution wont tell anyone so he can stay top dps in his guild. Please can you or anyone else help?

[@chilledgamezone4950]

Ive been making tanks in classic since release. Tanking phase 1 is easy with other phase 1 players. No issues and can be done as deep prot. Tanking as phase 1 warrior against phase 5/6 raid geared dps is where muck is all going to get thrown back into your face. So if your a new lvl 60 (like me) and your wanting to tank ...well get ready to cry 😢 🙃 you will be cursed and hated as your aggro is non existen apart from taunt. This macro breaks down when your level 50-60 when you really want to tank those dungeons. Im a phase 1 warrior now doing dungeons with phase 6 nax geared people and i had to switch to fury prot. Still wondering how arms would fare against them. Only initial aggro is the issue. Ive worked on a macro myself similar to this to help control early mobs in strat. Its difficult. Im now thinking how arms with a big hit 2h will work with this macro in lvl 50-60 dungeons

I did the same combo, but not with a macro. True top dps
