Anyone mind sharing shield block macro that DOESN'T BUG?!

for some reason my macro sometimes wouldn’t properly equip my 1h shield. it would only equip the shield then i’d have to spam it to equip the shield.

knowing this bug from the past since forever when spell reflect was only usable during shield equipped, the bug existed to heroic strike and cleave being on part of the global which made the ability to have a queue. now however there isn’t heroic strike, so i am not sure what bugs it.

It’s because you’re only using an /equip macro instead of /equipslot.

So for example:
/equipslot 16 Name of 1h wep
/equipslot 17 Name of shield

That works. It’s not a bug, it’s just that when you use /equip name of 1h, it sometimes equips it into the OH, which is then followed by equipping the shield into that same slot. So if you specify the slots, then they go where you intend for them to go.

It was bugged, at least few days before and on the PTR for a while, even if you only equipped the shield in your offhand or if you used equipslot macros it was broken.
Seems to be working now, thanks for highlighting!

Blizz made a change so that you can only swap 1 weapon at a time. Nobody knows why.

This is my macro
#showtooltip Shield Block
/equipset [noequipped:Off Hand] Shield
/cast [equipped:Off Hand] Shield Block

“Shield” is a gearset I have under my equipment manager. This let’s you swap both weapons, but you can’t use it off GCD like you can with /equipslot.

Has this been confirmed? For all we know, it could be a bug. Right?

Theoretically yes, but I had a theorycrafter confirm it on Skyhold
