Priest Macros – Battle For Azeroth 8.0.1

General Macros

General macros and templates that you can use to enhance your spellcasting abilities.

Universal Macros

 

Healing Macros

 

DPS Macros

 

Elvenbane’s Personal Macros

These are my personal macros that I use for each spec.

 

General Macros

Heart of Azeroth Essence Macro

Alt: Self Cast
Mouseover: Cast on Mouseover
Reticle: Cast at Cursor (while in combat)
Default casting behavior. This condition also serves to generate the correct tooltip.

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt,@player] [@mouseover,exists,nodead] [@cursor,combat] [] Heart Essence

CC Macros

Clear Focus (shift), Set/Shackle Focus (alt), Shackle Target

#showtooltip
/focus [mod:alt,@focus,dead] [mod:alt,@focus,noexists]
/clearfocus [@focus,dead] [mod:alt,@focus,noexists] [mod:shift]
/cast [mod:alt,@focus,exists] [] Shackle Undead

Clear Focus (shift), Set/Mind Control Focus (alt), Mind Control Target

#showtooltip
/focus [mod:alt,@focus,dead] [mod:alt,@focus,noexists]
/clearfocus [@focus,dead] [mod:alt,@focus,noexists] [mod:shift]
/cast [mod:alt,@focus,exists] [] Mind Control

Dispel Macro

I use BindPad for this and have it bound to the key to the left of 1: `

Mass Dispel (alt), Dispel Magic (harm), Purify Disease (help, shadow), Purify (help)

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt] !Mass Dispel; [spec:3,@mouseover,help,nodead] Purify Disease; [@mouseover,help,nodead] Purify; [@mouseover,harm,nodead] [harm] Dispel Magic; [spec:3] Purify Disease; Purify

Angelic Feather Macro

7.1.5 introduced the [@cursor] and [@player] conditions for reticle targeted spells. The following macro casts Angelic Feather at your feet.

#showtooltip
/cast [@player] Angelic Feather

Dispersion Cast/Cancel Macro

Click to cast, Right click to Cancel – You can replace [btn:2] with any other conditional you’d rather use.

#showtooltip
/cancelaura [btn:2] Dispersion
/cast Dispersion

Spirit of Redemption Cancel Macro

For whatever reason, Spirit of Redemption is no longer considered a buff and is now a form. You can add any of the usual macro conditions to it if you’d like.

/cancelform

Reticle Spell Macro

This is a basic macro for reticle spells such as Shadow Crash and Holy Word: Sanctify

Alt: Cast at Player
Combat: Cast at Cursor
Default casting behavior. This condition also serves to generate the correct tooltip.

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt,player] [@cursor,combat] [] SPELL

Nochanneling Macro

nochanneling returns false while another spell is channeling. This allows you to prevent spells from casting and is often used to prevent Penance clipping.

Single condition:

#showtooltip SPELL
/cast [nochanneling:CHANNELING SPELL] SPELL

Multiple conditions:

#showtooltip
/stopmacro [channeling:CHANNELING SPELL]
/cast [mod:alt,@player] [@mouseover,help,nodead] [help] [@targettarget,help,nodead] [] SPELL

Using the /stopmacro variant prevents you from needing to add nochanneling to each condition within your macro, vastly simplifying the construction and cutting down on the number of characters required. It also makes it so you don’t need to specify the #showtooltip as the /cast will do it for you like usual. I personally prefer this method even for single condition macros.

Healing Macros

Base Healing Macro

This is the base macro that all my healing macros are derived from.

Alt: Self Cast
Mouseover Friend: Cast on Mouseover
Target Friend: Cast on Target
Target Enemy Targeting Friend: Cast on Enemy’s Target
Default casting behavior. This condition also serves to generate the correct tooltip.

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt,@player] [@mouseover,help,nodead] [help] [@targettarget,help,nodead] [] SPELL

Basic Help/Harm Macro

This will cast one spell when mousing over or targeting a friend and another when mousing over or targeting an enemy.

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead] HELP_SPELL; [@mouseover,harm,nodead] [harm] HARM_SPELL; HELP_SPELL

Penance Macros

This is a collection of Penance macros that give you more control of whether or not you’re casting on a helpful or harmful target.

Self (alt) > Mouseover > Target

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt,@player] [@mouseover,exists,nodead] [] Penance

Self (alt) > Mouseover Help (mod) > Mouseover Harm > Target

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt,@player] [mod,@mouseover,help,nodead] [@mouseover,harm,nodead] [] Penance

Mouseover Harm > Target Harm

#showtooltip [@mouseover,harm,nodead] [] Penance
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead] [harm] Penance

Self (alt) > Mouseover Help > Target Help

#showtooltip [mod:alt,@player] [@mouseover,help,nodead] [] Penance
/cast [mod:alt,@player] [@mouseover,help,nodead] [help] Penance

Carafe of Searing Light

Essentially it’s just combining the Base Healing Macro with the Offensive Macro for Healers, with an added condition that you be in combat for Carafe to fire.
If you need to save space start by replacing “Carafe of Searing Light” with the Trinket slot: 13 – Top, 14 – Bottom.

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt,@player] [@mouseover,help,nodead] [help] [@targettarget,help] [] SPELL
/use [@mouseover,harm,nodead,combat] [harm,combat] [@mouseovertarget,harm,nodead,combat] [@targettarget,harm,combat] Carafe of Searing Light

DPS Macros

DPS Mouseover Macro

This is a basic mouseover macro for offensive spells such as Shadow Word: Pain, Vampiric Touch, and Void Eruption (Void Bolt)

Mouseover Enemy: Cast on Mouseover
Default casting behavior. This condition also serves to generate the correct tooltip.

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead] [] SPELL

Offensive Macro for Healers

This macro is primarily for healers who want to play Disc but want to play it like a traditional healer. Basically allows you to dps while having fiendly players targeted or moused over.

Mouseover Enemy: Cast on Mouseover
Target Enemy: Cast on Target
Mouseover Friend Targeting Enemy: Cast on Friend’s Target
Target Friend Targeting Enemy: Cast on Friend’s Target
Default casting behavior. This condition also serves to generate the correct tooltip.

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead] [harm] [@mouseovertarget,harm,nodead] [@targettarget,harm,nodead] [] SPELL

Before using these macros make sure you unbind the Action Page 1 – 6 keys in your key bindings. If you don’t, pressing any of the shift modified macros will cause you to change action page instead of casting the appropriate spell.
