Arms Warrior: Macros
Keys for Arms, ready to paste into the game's macro window: the spec's own, then the ones every Warrior shares.
Type /macro in chat to open the macro window, make a new macro, and paste the body in. #showtooltip gives the button the spell's icon. A macro holds 255 characters. Each says whether it has been tested in WoW Forever; most have not yet.
