Equipment Manager

The Equipment Manager is similar to some AddOns that allows switching between sets of equipment, originally scheduled for Patch 3.1.0 but was moved to Patch 3.1.2.

User interface
Users will be able to access the the Equipment Manager from the character screen by selecting the armor icon in the top right-hand corner of the character info window. Up to ten gear sets are allowed. This feature is very similar to macros.

To enable the Equipment Manager, go to the Game Menu (Esc), Interface option, Game tab, Features selection, and check the "Use Equipment Manager" box.

Example Macros
First save your gear set, then using that exact name (ie. Prot), create the following macro:

/equipset Prot

If you want to switch talent specs, then you will need to add that to it also, so let's assume Prot is your primary spec and Ret is your secondary and you want to swap gear at the same time you swap specs, then your macro would be:

For Prot:

/equipset Prot /usetalents 1

For Ret:

/equipset Ret /usetalents 2

One button equipment & talent changer:

/equipset [spec:1] Ret; [spec:2] Prot /usetalents [spec:1] 2; [spec:2] 1
 * 1) show [spec:1] Retribution Aura; [spec:2] Devotion Aura

In this situation, the game will equip the Retribution gear then activate the Retribution build when the Protection build is active. It will alternatively equip the Protection gear then activate the Protection build when the Retribution build is active.

Again, on the /equipset macro, you have to use the exact name that you saved your gear as, and it is case-sensitive. (Modified from .)

Bank Limitations
The gear manager can take items directly from the bank to the selected slot on a character, but this facility is only available when the bank inventory is open. Simply standing in the bank does not work.

Related addons
This feature has similar functionality, and is probably largely based on the popular auto-armor-equipping addons such as ItemRack and Outfitter.
