Fury Warrior DPS Macros and Addons (WoW MoP 5.3)
Macros and addons are an integral part of a raider's arsenal as they can make it easier to perform a variety of tasks, improving your overall game experience. Below, we present macros and addons that can be useful to a Fury Warrior (WoW MoP 5.3). On the right side, you will find links to the other parts of the guide.
This guide has been reviewed and approved by Gondlemstyle, one of the best Fury Warriors in the world, who raids in Midwinter.
1. Macros↑top
1.1. Generic Macros for Warriors
1.1.1. Bladestorm Cancelaura Macro
- #showtooltip Bladestorm
- /cast Bladestorm
- /cancelaura Bladestorm
This macro allows you to easily cancel your
Bladestorm before its 6
second duration expires. This is sometimes necessary, because while Bladestorm
is active you cannot cast any of your other abilities. It is especially useful
if you begin Bladestorming when there are multiple enemies alive who then die
very quickly.
1.2. Specific Macros for Fury Warriors
1.2.1. Bloodbath + Synapse Springs + Dragon Roar
- #showtooltip Dragon Roar
- /cast Bloodbath
- /use 10
- /cast Dragon Roar
This macro can be used in most (but not all) situations to efficiently use
your three 1-minute cooldowns, if you are an engineer. It should be used
immediately before using
Colossus Smash, so that you get the extra damage
from
Bloodbath during Colossus Smash.
Dragon Roar ignores armor
already, so it does not lose anything by being used outside of Colossus
Smash.
1.2.2. Heroic Leap Spam
- #showtooltip Heroic Leap
- /cast !Heroic Leap
This allows you to spam the
Heroic Leap button, but still retain the
ground-targeting circle.
2. Addons↑top
2.1. Generic Addons for Warriors
2.1.1. ElvUI
Here, at Icy Veins, we use ElvUI for all our characters. This addon is a complete replacement of the default User 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.
2.1.2. Boss Mods: Deadly Boss Mods or Bigwigs
Boss mods are addons that warn you about boss abilities and give you live advice on how to handle some mechanics. We strongly recommend you to get one such addon. At Icy Veins, we mostly use Deadly Boss Mods, the most popular boss mod. A good alternative is Big Wigs.
2.1.3. Parrot or Mik's Scrolling Battle Text
Parrot and Mik's Scrolling Battle Text are highly customisable addons for displaying floating battle text while in combat (incoming heals, damage of your spells, etc.). They both work very well by default.
2.1.4. Weak Auras
WeakAuras is an extremely useful addon that allows you to have visual effects on your screen, helping you track your buffs, debuffs and cooldowns. It is highly customisable and it can make it much, much easier to keep track of your procs and play your spec more proficiently. It can also be used for a variety of other functions.
2.1.5. TellMeWhen
TellMeWhen is an extremely useful addon with a user-friendly interface that allows you to track a multitude of things, from internal cooldowns, to buffs, debuffs, and procs.
2.1.6. Raeli's Spell Announcer
Raeli's Spell Announcer is an extremely useful addon that allows you to send announcements whenever you use certain spells. It is of particular use to announce when you use raid cooldowns or other important abilities.
2.1.7. Recount
Recount is a well known addon that most people use for displaying current DPS or HPS (Healing Per Second). We advise you to also use it for checking what you take damage from and if the share of damage/healing you do with each of your abilities is similar to that of other players of your class.
A lightweight alternative to Recount is Skada Damage Meter.
2.1.8. Omen Threat Meter
Omen Threat Meter is the most popular addon for displaying the current threat levels on your target. We recommend you to use it to avoid taking aggro when the tank is still building up threat on an enemy.
2.2. Specific Addons for Fury Warriors
Currently, we feel that there is no need for additional addons to play a Fury Warrior to its full potential.
