Holy Priest: Macros

Keys for Holy, ready to paste into the game's macro window: the spec's own, then the ones every Priest 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.

A good first macro

Flash Heal on mouseover, target or youFrom level 20

#showtooltip Flash Heal
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][@player] Flash Heal

Your quick heal for the friend under your cursor, then your target, then you. Before level 20, use Lesser Heal or Heal in the same shape. Untested

Uses: Flash Heal

Core rotation

Holy Fire opener that keeps the wand safeFrom level 20

#showtooltip Holy Fire
/stopattack
/cast [harm,nodead] Holy Fire

Open a pull with Holy Fire at range, then use the wand key. It stops the wand first so the cast is not interrupted. Untested

Uses: Holy Fire

Healing and support

Greater Heal on mouseover, target or youFrom level 40

#showtooltip Greater Heal
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][@player] Greater Heal

The slow, large heal for when the damage has already landed. It takes a long cast, so use Flash Heal if the target is about to die. Untested

Uses: Greater Heal

Prayer of Mending on mouseover, then focusFrom level 40

#showtooltip Prayer of Mending
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][@focus,help,nodead][help,nodead][@player] Prayer of Mending

Put it on the tank or your partner before damage starts. It jumps between friends and a caster holds one at a time, so recasting moves it. Untested

Needs Prayer of Mending.

Uses: Prayer of Mending

Binding Heal on mouseover or targetFrom level 25

#showtooltip Binding Heal
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead] Binding Heal

Heals a friend and you together when you are both hurt. It cannot target you alone, so with no friend selected it does nothing. Untested

Needs Binding Heal.

Uses: Binding Heal

Prayer of Healing on a chosen partyFrom level 30

#showtooltip Prayer of Healing
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][@player] Prayer of Healing

Mouse over someone in the party you want healed. Takes a three second cast, so move out of danger before you press. Untested

Uses: Prayer of Healing

Every Priest

Wand shotFrom level 1

#showtooltip Shoot
/cast !Shoot

Starts the wand and keeps it going; pressing it again does not switch it off. Stand still, because the wand needs half a second without moving before it fires. Untested

Smite that keeps the wand safeFrom level 1

#showtooltip Smite
/stopattack
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][harm,nodead] Smite

Smite the enemy under your cursor, or your target. The Smite key stops the wand first so it does not swing at the same time. Untested

Uses: Smite

Psychic Scream that stops your castFrom level 14

#showtooltip Psychic Scream
/stopcasting
/cast Psychic Scream

Emergency key for when enemies close in: it drops your cast and fears everything nearby. The catch is that it cancels your cast even when Psychic Scream is on cooldown. Untested

Uses: Psychic Scream

Shackle Undead with a remembered targetFrom level 20

#showtooltip Shackle Undead
/focus [mod:ctrl,harm,nodead]
/cast [mod:ctrl,harm,nodead][@focus,harm,nodead][harm,nodead] Shackle Undead

Ctrl-press sets your current target as focus and shackles it; later presses shackle the focus even after you change target. Re-shackle before the old one breaks, because Shackle Undead holds only undead. Untested

Uses: Shackle Undead

Renew on mouseover, target or youFrom level 8

#showtooltip Renew
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][@player] Renew

Puts Renew on the friend under your cursor, then your friendly target, then you. Hold the cursor on the right friend, because a mouseover out of range can land on your target instead. Untested

Uses: Renew

Fade that stops your castFrom level 8

#showtooltip Fade
/stopcasting
/cast Fade

Press when you pull threat: it drops your cast and fades at once. The catch is that it still cancels your cast if Fade is on cooldown. Untested

Uses: Fade
