What's a good macro to weapon swap out your offhand to apply other poisons?

These are the two I use

/equipslot 17 0 2

/equipslot 17 0 3

Then just put your spare offhands in the main inv bag and in the 2nd and 3rd slots. I use my s2 mace offhand for mindnumbing, and my s2 shiv for extra wound. If I need deadly against certain druid teams, I usually just apply it on the s2 mace after doors open.

edit: pretty sure you can also make the macro shiv after swapping, but I'd rather just do it manually in case I'm on a gcd or something at the time of the swap.

There any way to ezmode this? Also, is there some sort of cooldown after you do the swap?

I think there's a hidden gcd or something.

I just use Outfitter on my prot paly to swap weapons, you can just setup hotkeys, doesn't matter where the items are as far as I know.

I think rogues incur a 1 sec GCD and all other classes are 1.5 when swapping.

Correct, this is to prevent sword ambushes.

This is what I ended up with

#showtooltip Ambush
/equipslot [stealth,noequipped: Daggers] 16 Main Gauche
/cast Ambush

#showtooltip Hemorrhage
/equipslot [noequipped: Maces]16 Merciless Gladiator's Pummeler
/startattack
/castrandom Hemorrhage, Riposte

Work good so far. When I use the first one, I have to press it twice though. Once to equip the dagger, once to actually ambush.

What I have noticed is that while swapping weapons in combat does cause a GCD, you can also do it during your GCD. So if you use a macro that uses an ability that uses the GCD, and then does the weapon swap right after, the only penalty you pay is resetting the swing timer. If you have a swing timer mod, you can time your use of the ability to practically remove that penalty as well.
