Weapon Hot-swap Macro

Subject: Weapon Hot-swap Macro Tue Feb 10, 2009 12:14 pm

I was once asked to post my macro for swapping weapons mid-combat. When I hit the button (which I have bound to the middle mouse button) it swaps to swords if I currently have daggers equipped and visa-versa. This is useful in a situation where you are switching from tanked targets to un-tanked targets (daggers when working with a tank because you can position for Backstab, and swords for Sinister Strike and Blade Flurry where exact positioning is not likely).

#show 16
/equipslot [equipped:dagger] 16 Name of Main Hand Sword
/equipslot [equipped:dagger] 17 Name of Offhand Sword
/equipslot [equipped:sword] 16 Name of Main Hand Dagger
/equipslot [equipped:sword] 17 Name of Offhand Dagger

The /equipslot command works in the following way:

/equipslot [ {condition (optional)} ] {slot number} {item name}

The slot numbers are as follows:

Be aware that only weapons (including relics) and ammo may be swapped mid-combat and will give a 1 second global cooldown. Attempting to swap any other item whilst in combat (for example a trinket) will wait until you are out of combat before executing the command.
