old school swifty
old school Swifty is best Swifty! thanks for the macro!
@@scott917 Old school Swifty IS Swifty.
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.
This video felt like the old Swifty.
Finally!
Thanks.
Haven't seen a video in 7 years. This is nostalllllgic
wow a real video that's not a stream highlight
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
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.

/castsequence reset=15 Sweeping Strikes,Berserker Stance,Berserker Rage,Whirlwind,Battle Stance,Thunder Clap
This works for me except it won’t cast thunderclap strangely.
Swifty is my favorite WoW personality.
Boy, I've missed this. This video is just as nostalgic as wow classic.
How do you save up 50 rage in a random group?
Theres just a huge difference in making a video and how he says "hope you enjoyed the video", in contrast to stream clips
Are u saying he has more fun making videos than streaming?
first time watching you , definitely subscribe and recommend your stuff to others , cheers mate
It's time for Classic PvP when it's available 😊
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
Please make more videos :) I’m not even playing classic atm, but I really enjoy warching your videos. Keep up the good work!
I remember going thru this dungeon as you made it look easy as a tank with the macro Guild dad lol !
This macro doesn't seem to be working for me. It never changes stances or uses whirlwind. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
same with me, cant get it to change stances
Does this work for fresh servers? Everytime I try to use it my character types it out in chat.
Having the same issue
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.
It doesnt work
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??
same
erase all the spaces asfter the commas
Tried the same with removing or completely writing it as new in notepad, no luck.

Miss these videos, Swifty!
gogogo ! we need MOREEE !
Learned this from skarm but didn’t rely on macros, definitely will use this macro!
nice finally a video showing how to tank with 2h with no complicated Talents ETCCC and it works lets gooo
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
Thank you, Sir Swifty.
Hello @Swift , an alternative to the sweaping strike? I'm fury build , i tried to find your video about fury tanking ....no luck , thx
Final fantasy 14 warriors are like, hold my axe.
what the macros, where f1 f2 f3 are pressed to the right quickly and in turns
Swifty has been my favorite player since like 2009. Wish wow community was mature enough to appreciate him other than kids like asmongold
Can't appreciate both?
Hello @swifty. May I ask what things you have bind to your razer naga?
No dual wield tanking? id like to see your input on this.
best way
Not really at his level. You'll miss way too much until you have the talents or gear to not miss.
cesar velazco it only works at lvl 60
What should we name this macro? because "Swifty" is already taken.
Love you Swifty since 2010
i can use this with 1h +shield ?
Oh ideal..Thanks swifty
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?
Nice vid, hope for a comeback in guides on how to beat classes etc. And hope you go through all talents :)
Swifty still best WoW-youtuber
Swifty eres el mejor siempre ! saludos bro
This reminds me of OLD SWIFTY I GOT THE CHIILLS!! Love it
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
Very nice macro. I was second in DPS with this as a tank.
Anyone else unable to use this macro?
trying right now. how does it work?
Can you make a quick video on the spec you use for 2H arms tank?
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 ?
I have the same issue! Realy weird! Please some help on this.
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

#showtooltip Sweeping Strikes

What talents you picked
Swifty , any chance to post the prot talent tree pretty please ?
Dosent work for me either :p Litterally have over 20 macros working, but this one is my first problem.
it dont work.. even if you take out the spaces... All it does is.. does is put the text in white and reads it as a /say
When I copied and pasted this macro... I do the first part, but then my character "Say's: Berserker Stance, Berserker Rage, Whirlwind,
Battle Stance, Thunder Clap - like I am talking in chat
I'm having the same problem.
@@akuirataite740 me too how to fix
same
erase all the spaces asfter the commas
@@chucknorris-bz6yl I read that and tried it over and over. It didn't work for me.
does this still work in Sod?
Thank you YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND
Can someone please explain what this macro is suppose to be doing?
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
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.
yepp but it seems communicating is still a thing of the past in classic.
Which server do you play on for classic ?
Passionate Swifty
Anyone having the same problem? Ever time I try to use the addon it spams the chat instead of using the attacks
mines doing this as well did you figure it out?
Pewwbz no I didn’t. I had my entire guild trying to figure it out
@@vincentschroeder1039 ok you have to take out every space after the commas.
Pewwbz thank you!
anyone having an issue with when you use the Macro it spams "say and then the Macro starting with Berserker Stance"? @Swifty
same thing over here
@Swifty please help
@@xgcrepo Same here...accidentally spammed someone in /whisper testing it out
@@stucktrick5757 @Swifty to help bring awareness in hopes of a fix
@@Foxtattoo Take the space out after the commas. That fixed it for me.
Swifty are you still taking people in your guild ? I play on Faerlina
Thank you
CLASSIC HYPE NOV 21ST 2024 LESSSSSSSS GOOOOOO
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.
ima test it right now in zf
having some trouble with it
The God of Warriors! Swifty!!!!!
What lvl do I need to be for this macro to work?
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?
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.
which would be 6 times.
@@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
Really good tanks are hard to find but the warrior is the best
Never made a macro before. So take out the space at the beginning of the code? Or all the spaces in the entire code?
only the space at the beginning, if there is one :)
@@cumfield ty
Just out of curiosity... Are you the same "Swifty" that used to camp XR in the barrens on Nordrassil?
Yes, he is .
I did the same combo, but not with a macro. True top dps
im crying dude
What about talents???
Thx !
Ty ♡
@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?
Show us the fury dual wield!
Anyone can write me down this macro so I can paste it into game please? :( Mine doesn't work ... I dont have SS
For me it does cast sweeping strikes, But then it says "Berserker Stance, Berserker Rage, Whirlwind,
Battle Stance, Thunder Clap" in the chat, instead of casting them
So its just me ? ..
@@Giffelpojken same for me
@@Giffelpojken for me too
@@Giffelpojken how did u fix this?
@@aromastream4965 I didn't :P
what is this SS?
thank you o.g
this macro does not work for me?
I love u Swifty!
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
Spam one key. Sounds fun lol
it doesnt work for me idk why
what a legend
any1 knows why am i saying everything in chat instead of the macro runnin?
have same issue have no ide how to fix it
@@yfirgefin3825 I fixed mine erasing all the spaces and putting them myself, I guess there is a misplaced space somewhere
@@peacelounge Thanx :)
@@yfirgefin3825 no prob man! Hf!
El Swifterino!
Frog Anon exelente
Не сказать что что-то новое и неизвестное, но новичкам будет интересно.
i tank with 2 1h weapons and a fury/prot build. im lvl 52
3 weeks to late swifty my melee cleave was doing this in SM to proc ravager.
Is this still valid?
What does SS means?
@Moua Yang oh, thx !
I must be the Newb. I copied and pasted it, the sweeping will activate, but everything after that does not activate, no berserker stance, thus no whirlwind, etc, yep there is some issue going into berserker stance with this macro
Same issue here. Any fix yet?
No part of this macro works. I find it interesting that Swifty has not even commented on the fact he put out a video on a non working macro
Im sure we messed up somehow. Cause some people write they had succes with it :)
Swifty podrías subirlo en español a este video porfa??
Swifty cool guy
What is this, 2009?
Only down side to this is that at low levels 15-20 there is no Berserker Rage, Whirlwind
