So yeah, I'm bored, and I haven't seen any kind of compilation of priest macros yet. I suppose various macros aren't even needed for some, depending on what addons you use for healing, or just general player preference when it comes to healing, but I thought I might as well throw some out there, and if any are found useful, well, at least no one can complain I haven't ever done anything useful!

I'm going to try to keep explanations brief, and I'm not going to explain or teach how to make a macro, there's plenty of info about that over in the macros forums.

Healing Macros:

A brief explanation of these. Most of these macros will have the following form:

/cast [target=mouseover, exists, noharm][target=target, exists, noharm][target=player] "spell name"

So what does that mean? Simply put, it's a conditional prioritization list, that will check to see who actually gets the heal. As an example for the above type of macro: say you have player A targeted, but your mouse-pointer-thing is hovering over player B, and both are friendly targets, the heal will be cast on player B, and not player A. Should player B be a hostile target however, player A gets the heal. Last but not least, If your target is hostile or you have no target, you will heal yourself provided that you do not have a mouseover target.

Okay, great, now, why mouseovers? Isn't that potentially risky with spells like Guardian Spirit or Pain Suppression? Well, yes, it is. Then again, I find it very practical to be able to just mouseover someone's frame in Grid (which I'm pretty sure most of you use), toss a quick Flash Heal or CoH, and then just move my mouse away and continue healing my target. In those OHSH-T situations it's sometimes also useful to be able to toss out one of those panic spells as quickly as possible without switching targets (2 tanks, one dips too low and you're on another other tank for example), which I find mouseover macros help with, for me at least. If you don't want the mouseover part of any of these macros, just remove:

[target=mouseover, exists, noharm]

Anway, enough rambling here's the macros:

Abolish Disease:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover, exists, noharm][target=target, exists, noharm][target=player] Abolish Disease

Binding Heal:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover, exists, noharm][target=target, exists, noharm] Binding Heal

CoH:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover, exists, noharm][target=target, exists, noharm][target=player] Circle of Healing

Fearward, NO mouseover conditional in this macro:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=target, exists, noharm][target=player] Fear Ward

Flash Heal:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover, exists, noharm][target=target, exists, noharm][target=player] Flash Heal

Greater Heal:
/stopcasting
/cast [target=mouseover, exists, noharm][target=target, exists, noharm][target=player] Greater Heal

Guardian Spirit, this macro will NOT cast GS on yourself if you have no mouseover or target:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover, exists][target=target, exists] Guardian Spirit
/in 10 /y GUARDIAN SPIRIT FADED!!!

- this macro will both cast GS and also announce when GS has ended in yell format

Penance (this will not work offensively!!!):
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover, exists, noharm][target=target, exists, noharm][target=player] Penance

Power Infusion:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover, exists, noharm][target=target, exists, noharm][target=player] Power Infusion

Prayer of Healing:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover, exists, noharm][target=target, exists, noharm][target=player] Prayer of Healing

Prayer of Mending:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover, exists, noharm][target=target, exists, noharm][target=player] Prayer of Mending

Pain Suppression, this macro will NOT cast PS on yourself if you have no mouseover or target:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover, exists, noharm][target=target, exists, noharm] Pain Suppression
/in 8 /y PAIN SUPPRESSION FADED!!!

- this macro will both cast PS and also announce when PS has ended in yell format

PW:Shield:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover, exists, noharm][target=target, exists, noharm][target=player] Power Word: Shield

Renew:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover, exists, noharm][target=target, exists, noharm][target=player] Renew


And that pretty much takes care of the healing spells! Now, some just generally useful macros, some priest-specific, some just useful:

Single target buff spammacro

/castsequence Power Word: Fortitude, Divine Spirit, Shadow Protection

Prayer buff spammacro

/castsequence Prayer of Fortitude, Prayer of Spirit, Prayer of Shadow Protection

Camera macro! This is a purely awesome macro, it'll let you change the max distance you can zoom out. In this particular macro, I've used 30 as the upper limit, but if I remember correctly you can go all the way up to 50.

/script SetCVar("cameraDistanceMax", 30)

Dispel macro:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover, exists][target=target, exists] Dispel Magic

Dispel self macro:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=player]Dispel Magic

Mass Dispel, spam this button without cancelling the spell and retaining the big green thing
#showtooltip
/cast !Mass Dispel

Shackle Undead
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover, exists, harm][target=target, exists, harm][harm] Shackle Undead

Universal Shadowfiend macro
#showtooltip
/cast [nopet] Shadowfiend
/petattack
/cast [pet][target=pet, exists, noharm] Dispel Magic
/cast [pet][target=pettarget] Shadowcrawl

-this macro will summon your pet if it's not already out, in which case it will order it to attack and attempt to dispel any harmful effects on it and then cast Shadowcrawl


Potentially useful Shadowpriest macros:

Okay, not quite sure how well this will fly with some of you but whatever, I though I'd share at least. The basic idea behind these macros is that they combine offensive shadow spells with healing spells, and they will be bound to the same key irregardless of form. For example, my Mind Blast/Flash Heal macro:

/cast [target=target, exists, noharm] Flash Heal; [target=target, exists, harm] Mind Blast

What it does is pretty simple: if I have a friendly target I'll cast Flash Heal, if my target is hostile, I cast Mind Blast. Quite simply, the point of these macros is that you won't have to switch forms to get the "right" keybinds, what spell you cast is simply decided depending on what you have targeted, if that makes any sense. Note that you can change out the offensive spells with others if you don't want Mind Blast associated with Flash Heal for example, and that you can make other offensive/heal macros simply by copy+paste and throwing in other offensive/helpful spells where proper. Anyway, here they are:


Mind Blast/Flash Heal:
/cast [target=target, exists, noharm] Flash Heal; [target=target, exists, harm] Mind Blast

SW:P/Renew:
/cast [target=target, exists, noharm] Renew; [target=target, exists, harm] Shadow Word: Pain

VE/PoM:
/cast [target=target, exists, noharm] Prayer of Mending; [target=target, exists, harm] Vampiric Embrace

VT/Greater Heal:
/cast [target=target, exists, noharm] Greater Heal; [target=target, exists, harm] Vampiric Touch


Other more or less useful macros for spriests, most of them PvP oriented:

Cancel Disperion:
/cancelaura Dispersion

Dispersion
/stopcasting
/cast Dispersion

Psychic Horror, mouseover -> target prioritization
/cast [target=mouseover, harm][harm] Psychic Horror

Psychic Horror focus
/cast [target=focus] Psychic Horror

Shadowform, spammable - it won't drop you out of form after you're in shadowform.
/cast !Shadowform

Silence, mouseover -> target prioritization
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover, harm][harm] Silence

Silence Focus
/cast [target=focus] Silence


DOH! Realized I didn't explain the whole #showtooltip thing - it's just a simple aesthetic thing. Instead of displaying whatever name you've given the macro when you mouseover it it will just show the standard spell tooltip!

Anyway, hope this was of some use to someone, and if you have any macros you find useful pile them here!

Hello Dermatosis!

I think you have done a awsome job whit these macros! I like the mindblast/heal ideas!
Thanks for doing this!

I could be mistaken since I most likely havent read EVERYTHING on this forum but..

/report for sticky

Mouseover macros are really nice indeed. I was a little nubish and didn't know that you can mouseover a template not necessary a guy that is moving :)
Dispersion is nice with a single button. Im not sure if this will work but:

#showtooltip Dispersion
/stopcasting
/cancelaura Dispersion
/cast Dispersion

I think it'll work, but you'll just have to be careful not to spam it, or it will be a very short Dispersion =P

Just use the macro below;

/cancelaura Dispersion
/cast <insert spell name here>

So let's say you have Dispersion, you want to cancel it and start doing dmg again. You simply hit your Mind Blast (or whatever) and the Disperson will cancel and you will cast a Mind Blast right away on your target. This way you can't accidently cancel Dispersion when you are mashing your Dispersion button.

This works great on mage aswell with Invisibility and Ice Block.

Very nice worked out!
For myself however, I don't use mousovers, simply target with click then heal with keybindings, maybe sounds noobish hehe but works great for me, don't wanna make it more complicated :D

I only use self flash heal / Penance / Shield etc


edit: Mindblast macro nice idd ;)

Indeed, especially with physic scream or horror, I will do that:)

Instead of all those mouseover macros just get the Clique addon.

Clique only allows you to assign binds to mouse buttons.

Really nice and informative thread. Started using mousover macros a few weeks ago and has really made my healing a lot easier.

Anyway i was just wondering if anyone could tell me a macro that casts power infusion, say in raid thats it's been cast and whispers the player it's been cast on, tried out this.
#showtooltip power infusion
/cast power infusion
/ra >>power infusion cast on %t<<
/w %t 20% for 15 seconds

didn't work though, aint to good at macros would be happy if someone could help me with it.

Would it be possible to create a macro that mouseover casts dispel, but casts mass dispel when shift is pressed? I've been trying to work this out and managed to create a macro where the icon changed to the mass dispel icon when I held shift, but it wouldn't cast it when I pressed the hotkey.

Can anybody think of a reason for this? I suspect it's that my macro tries to mouseover cast mass dispel? Does anyone have a macro that will work?

Thanks this was really usefull for me.

The macros can be a bit shorter
[target=mouseover, exists, noharm]
=>
[target=mouseover, help]
does the same

[help] and [harm] implies an [exists] check

in case they are part of longer macros :)

Can someone here please write a macro which works for warrior trolls? Like activating Berserking, Death-Wish and trinkets as soon as you fight a boss

Instead all of your very funny jokes you tell here you go and do stand-up in a club.

#showtooltip
/cast Guardian Spirit
/script SendChatMessage("Guardian Spirit is watching over you!", "WHISPER", "Orcish", UnitName("target"));
/healchannel ..:: Guardian spirit casted ::..
/in 10 /healchannel ..:: Guardian Spirit end ::..

Big NO to using big CD abilities on 'mouseover' without modifier control .. you might have accidently cast it on someone you dont want.
Other NO to spam your CDs on /yell
