I’m not the best PvPer, but have loved Arms since the original game launch and decided to try my hand at PvP this expansion. I normally just tank, so forgive me if I don’t know all the PvP trends. This macro is an attempt at keeping proper steps for MS following 2 overpowers, while having the supporting items firing off at regular intervals. All major cooldowns (defensive, bladestorm, etc) are not within the macro itself. I’m older and can’t play without GSE at this point, so these macros are how I give back to the community. Thank you and please let me know if I need to tweak anything.
The current version is set up for major burst, so just time things properly and you’ll wreck people.
Hold SHIFT to start the burst rotation, which can be done either fully casing all 4 skills, or when Storm Bolt and Warbreaker are off cooldown. Then ALT to follow up with another Bladestorm or just release the modifiers to go into the execute phase.
Ignore Pain will cast frequently enough to be useful but not constantly so you have rage to murder with. Going into defensive stance will also cast Ignore Pain.
The Build:
BcEAoonA2h02U1PVo4204nicFAgWCJJJEJpVKJBAAAAkQkIQCQENIJQoIRIBEJRCAAAAAAAAJpkICA0QA
Shift: Big Damage
Alt: Spin to Win
Ctrl: Stance Dance!
This macro contains 1 macro template. This Sequence was exported from GSE 3.1.28.

major changes to how the macro works. This slaps hard.
v. 2.1-2
separated single rotation kill into shift and alt in case stuns occur!
v. 2.3

Included my WeakAura
v. 2.4
updated burst sequence
worked how things fire
v 2.5
more streamlining
v. 2.6
updated for 10.0.0.5 changes!
now includes rend on initial target slap, along with ignore pain semi-frequently
I’d like feedback on v 1.3 if anyone has some time please. I think it’s running fairly well, but only have a few matches in with it. My goal is to line up the stacking items so the big hits happen frequently enough for being a lazy macro.
oh awesome thats good to know. I’m still not entirely sure if i should even be playing as fury or arms for pvp but its been interesting so far. defintely looking forward to your update though man. You’ve been doing such a good job on macros this expansion!
Go to options and type in Action, make sure alt isn’t bound to the locked action bar. This macro is being heavily updated this weekend, so standby. I’d use the Fury one I have posted for now.
This isn’t an official release, but what I’m testing right now. This is meant to setup the one hit combo, with Shift, then Alt, back to auto firing. I had to break it up because PvP has variables you can’t account for and sometime you just need a good high damage hit and not the whole rotation. The build is in the Macro.
