Modifier keys can also be combined with other macro conditions, for example: Modifier Macros If you'd rather select your own icon that doesn't change, you can leave this line out. This means by default it will show the Solar Beam icon, but if Ctrl is held it will show the Mighty Bash icon, and so on. Also worth noting, in this case #showtooltip will show the icon and tooltip of the spell based on which modifier key is currently being held. will cast Mighty Bash if the Ctrl key is held at the same time the macro is activated, similarly, will cast Warstomp if the Shift key is held, and finally Solar Beam will be cast if no keys are held. Modifier key macros will allow you to cast a spell based on which modifier key you're holding down (commonly Shift, Ctrl, or Alt). If neither of those situations exist, nothing will happen. If we don’t have a target that’s an enemy, will cast it on your focus target if that happens to be an enemy. You’re probably picking up on the pattern by now - will try to cast Solar Wrath on our target if it exists and is an enemy.
Doing it this way prevents the generic question mark icon from appearing otherwise. We can’t just use #showtooltip alone in this macro or the icons will only show up when we have an enemy targeted or an enemy set as the focus. #showtooltip Solar Wrath will display the Solar Wrath icon and tooltip no matter what. This allows me to set the boss as my focus target and DPS without switching targets from whomever I’m healing. These macros are commonly used for crowd control abilities and interrupts, but I also use them for my DPS abilities as a healer. Focus Target MacrosĪ focus target macro will cast something on whatever you have set as your focus target (target something and type /focus in chat to set one). Finally, if you don’t have a friendly target either, it will cast it on yourself. If you don’t have a mouseover target, will cast it on your current friendly target instead. cast Nature's will cast Nature’s Cure on your friendly mouseover target. I personally use a mouseover macro for my my dispel abilities, such as Nature's Cure. No clicking to target required! Some players, healers in particular, go as far as having all of their spells used through mouseover macros, but this is mostly a playstyle choice. Mouseover macros allow you to use a spell or ability on a player or enemy by having your mouse cursor over their physical character or their raid frame. Now we’ll build on this basic macro concept! Mouseover Macros You can either type it out yourself or Shift+Click on a spell in your spellbook when editing a macro to automatically put the name in. Rejuvenation is just the name of whatever spell you want to cast.
Other common options include harm (to cast on enemies) and dead (to cast on something that’s dead). This prevents you from trying to cast on an enemy by mistake and getting errors telling you that you can’t do that. Other common options you’ll use are to cast on yourself, to cast on the thing your mouse cursor is over, and to cast on whatever you have set as your /focus target.Įxists,nodead,help tells the macro to only cast the spell on your target if it exists, is not dead ( nodead), and is a friendly player ( help). You can technically omit this part for casting things on your current target, but we’ll be doing some more advanced things with it below so it’s nice to have. Another common one is /use if you’re going to be telling the macro to use a trinket or tells the macro to cast the spell on your current target. cast tells the macro that you’re going to be using a spell. That means there’s no need to manually select the icon if you don’t want to. #showtooltip causes the macro to take on the icon and tooltip of whatever spell is in the macro. This macro is pointless to use because it does the same thing as having the normal spell on your action bar, but I thought it would work well to explain some basic macro pieces that we’ll build on later. You can leave a comment at the bottom of this page or tweet Basic Macro Partsīelow is a basic macro that casts a spell on your current target. I've used Restoration Druid spells as examples, but you can substitute your own spells in.įeedback and macro ideas are always appreciated. Below are some common macro types that can be applied to nearly any class and spec. Macros allow you to refine your playstyle and spell usage without installing an addon.
