After having a long discussion with a few guys today about gearing and setting up alts ect I thought I'd start up a thread with some handy macro's that ppl might use.

I'll start with 2 I use on Frillnek for tanking.

Righteous Defence (don't need to target the person being attacked before hitting the taunt)

#showtooltip Righteous Defense
/cast [help] Righteous Defense; [target=targettarget] Righteous Defense


Sheild of Righteousness and Hammer for Maximum threat generation during a fight.

#showtooltip Shield of Righteousness
/castsequence Shield of Righteousness, Hammer of the Righteous
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()


I'll add some hunter ones later that I use, but in the meantime does anyone else want to add some?

Bcool says Thank You!

I do get asked about my mouseover macros a bit so ill post some:

#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover,noharm,exists] Holy Light;[target=mouseover,harm,exists] Judgement of Light;[noharm] Holy Light ;[harm] Judgement of Light


Simple one that gets used a lot, put your cursor over a good guy and press the keyboard button assigned, you get holy light, put it over a bad guy it judges light.

The way i have my tank groups set in Xperl, i can judge the skull and drop holy lights on the tanks with mouse movement of less than an inch.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover,noharm,exists] Sacred Shield;[target=mouseover,harm,exists] Hammer of Justice;[noharm]Sacred Shield;[harm]Hammer of Justice

Shields the tank or stuns the target.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover,noharm,exists] Flash of Light;[target=mouseover,harm,exists] Shield of Righteousness;[noharm]Flash of Lightl;[harm]Shield of Righteousness

I use this for tanking and healing. flash or slap with shield.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

This is a priest one that does the same but shows how to castsequence:

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=6 [target=mouseover,noharm,exists] Power Word: Shield,Prayer of Mending;[target=mouseover,harm,exists]Shadow Word: Pain,Devouring Plague;

If im healing 5 mans, mouseover the tank and hit the assigned button twice, then mouseover skull and hit it twice more, healz and dps.

All the above mouseover macros work on both frames and in field of play.

have fun

The only macro I really use is to bind my "on use" trinkets to my main spells. Some people prefer to have the trinket on their bars and click it when they need to use it, I prefer to use it whenever its off cooldown

#showtooltip Spellname
/use 13 (or 14, whichever slot the trinket is in on your character sheet)
/cast Spellname

Hunter go-go dps macro... works for any spec:

#showtooltip Rapid Fire
/use 13
/cast Bestial Wrath
/cast Rapid Fire
/cast Call of the Wild
/cast [target=pettarget,exists] kill command
/cast Readiness
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Hunter one that needs to be hit periodically, I stacked some things in there not on GCD to be sure they are used regularly (/use 10 is for my engineering glove's enchant)

#showtooltip Black Arrow
/cast [target=pettarget, exists] Kill Command
/use 10
/cast Black Arrow
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Another one, same kind of thing but for Marks spec... using silencing shot (hunters never get asked to interrupt so just use it when ever):

#showtooltip Aimed Shot
/cast Silencing Shot
/use 10
/cast [target=pettarget,exists] kill command
/cast Aimed Shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Hunter melee macro... lay down some pain and get out of jail free card:

#showtooltip Disengage
/stopcasting
/cast Wing Clip
/cast Raptor Strike
/cast Disengage
/use 10
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

And, another for just melee:

#showtooltip Raptor Strike
/cast Raptor Strike
/cast Wing Clip
/cast Mongoose Bite
/use 10
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()



<><><><><><><><><><><><>

The mount macro... random mounts of appropriate type (flying/non-flying) and dismount when already mounted

run if IsMounted()then return end local t if((GetRealZoneText()=="Dalaran") and(GetSubZoneText()~="Krasus' Landing") or(GetZoneText()=="Wintergrasp")or not IsFlyableArea())then t={1,2,5,6}else t={3,4,7,8}end CallCompanion("MOUNT",t[random(#t)])
/dismount

<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Mis-direct macro: Priority: Focus > pet > target

#showtooltip Misdirection
/cast [target=focus, help, exists] Misdirection, Misdirection, [target=pet, exists] Misdirection

<><><><><><><><><><><><>

CC Macro: Priority Mouse Over > Focus > Target

#showtooltip Wyvern Sting
/cast [target=mouseover, exists, harm] [target=focus, exists, harm] [target=target] Wyvern Sting

And this site looks useful for figuring out what a macro will do: Fitzcairn's Macro Explain-o-matic

here's a couple of simple hunter ones I have on Wom.

Single button for Aimed and chimera for MM specs. (works really well if you don't glyph Aimed shot but still works quite well if you take the cooldown bonus from the glyph)

#showtooltip chimera Shot
/castsequence chimera shot, aimed shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
END

Pet attack and heal.

/petattack
/cast Mend Pet(Rank 8)
END

And of course the standard BM attack macro.

#showtooltip Steady Shot
/cast !Auto Shot
/cast Steady Shot
/cast [target=pettarget, exists] Kill Command
/script UIErrorsFrame:UnregisterEvent ("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE");
END


For anyone that doesn't know where to find their macro files.

They are in a file called macros-cache in your WTF/Account/<account name> folder, and for the character specific ones you then go further into the tree to realm/<char name> folders.
