Question about Knight/Rogue

Hello again. I've been tinkering around with K/R and I can say that I love it. After seeing a k/r in action during siege a loooooong time ago back in 2010, I've always been curious about it. I think I have a good grasp on the skills/elites/rotation/etc. My question is: Is there a macro that will un-equip my off-hand sword, equip a shield, use a shield skill, un-equip the shield, and re-equip my off-hand sword to my off-hand slot? I know this could have gone under the macro/knight section on the forums, but I feel as though I'll receive an answer quicker by posting here.

Thanks in advance for any replies to solve my dilemma.

something like

/run EquipItem(16) EquipItem(17) mh,offh = nil,nil
/wait .5
/run _,_,ts=GetBagCount() for i=1,ts do ii,_,n=GetBagItemInfo(i) if n=="Offhand**" then offh=ii elseif n=="Mainhand**" then mh = ii end end
/run EquipItem(16, mh) EquipItem(17, offh)
/wait .5
/cast skill
/wait 1
/run EquipItem(16) EquipItem(17) mh,offh = nil,nil
/wait .5
/run _,_,ts=GetBagCount() for i=1,ts do ii,_,n=GetBagItemInfo(i) if n=="Offhand**" then offh=ii elseif n=="Mainhand**" then mh = ii end end
/run EquipItem(16, mh) EquipItem(17, offh)

might work... not sure as I havn't logged in in ages and don't plan to lol

*** Realised that there are too many characters for normal macro's >.> Could either make your own addon or get the addon 'ExtendedMacroIcons' which increases macro limit to 720 or something like that.

or...you could just put your shield in a slot on your action bar, that accomplishes half of your task. Then all you need is a macro to re-equip your off-hand sword, which should not be that long of a macro.

I do this all the time with sword and board versus 2hd axe. Yeah, I know the issues with equipping an off-hand weapon this way are not that simple, that is why you need a macro to accomplish that portion.

/use Shield Name
/wait .1
/cast Skill Name
/wait .1
/script EquipItem (17,61)

this is a better work around, and it works, 100%(may need to play around with the timing), but the shield must be in the 2nd slot in your backpack(or you could make it complicated and get the slot # for the sword and then re-equip that slot #)

the 2nd slot in your backpack is tab 1, top row, 2nd slot in from the left(for some reason i can't get the first slot to work)

you may want to play with the slot #(2nd number on the last line (61 in this case)), if you would like to keep your shield somewhere else

other problems include when you "sort" your backpack, it will move the shield, so finding the slot and would probably be better..., but alas, that would require more time...

i may steal some of cammo's script to get the slot #'s, but for now, this works...

i apologize for the wait, and it may not be the most elegant solution, but it works....

I wasn't successful in getting that long macro to work. So I figured that I should just put my shield on my hot bar like Cike said. The only thing I'm missing is a way to re-equip my sword to my off hand slot. When I came on to type this, I find a reply from Cike saying that he's working on it. Thanks dude! I eagerly await your reply.

biggest thing I can suggest about macros is NOT to C&P from the forums... type them in.

dunno why, but I've only been able to successfully copy macro text from one macro to another.

ok, the backpack slot #'s are a little weird, so if it keeps giving you errors/doesn't work, it's probably that, it works successfully on my w/r(only toon i have that can duel wield and use a shield) and it works, i hope it works for you also...

according to northend, this should also work, and probably work better than the above one i posted...

Source code

/use Shield Name
/cast Skill Name
/run _,_,ts=GetBagCount() for i=1,ts do ii,_,n=GetBagItemInfo(i) if n=="Offhand Sword" then offh=ii elseif n=="Mainhand Sword" then mh = ii end end
/run EquipItem(17, offh)

taken from this thread, and modified by yours truly.
