Useful macros for priests This is a reference for class specific custom WoW macros for the Priest class . See archive 1 for older versions . General Macros . 90 Talents . Automatically casts whatever talent you have chosen Automatically changes the icon ( on first cast after you switch ) Automatically changes the tooltip for that button ( on first cast after you switch ) 15 Talents . Similar to the previous macro , this one is one button for all tier 1 talents . Prayer of Healing . Maximizes healing effect of Prayer of Healing by combining Power Infusion ( for faster channeling ) and Inner Focus ( reduce mana and cause a critical strike ) . Offensive spell cast while healing . Allows you to cast offensive spells on a target ' s target without losing your healing target . Also works as a normal attack on a hostile target . < br > Smite Autotarget . This macro allows you to always keep a target when you are spamming your Smite key . Holy Fire Autotarget . This macro allows you to always keep a target when you are spamming your Holy Fire key . Shadow Word : Pain Autotarget . This macro allows you to always keep a target when you are spamming your key . Smart Shadowfiend / Shadowcrawl . Send out a Shadowfiend when targeting an enemy or targeting an ally . Shield Shadowfiend . Send out a shadowfiend , then hit a second time to shield it . Kevin Bacon Shadowfiend . # showtooltip Focused mind control . Casts Mind Control in these situations : Ultimate Mind Control Macro . This macro will first Mind Control your current target and set that target to be your focus target . This will allow you to Mind Control again with another click without having to change targets . When you are ready to release , right click will release your Mind Control , cast Fade , re - target the Mind Controlled enemy , clear focus , and announce that you have released your mind control . Clip - prevention Mind Sear w / Autotarget . Prevents clipping off the previous Mind Sear before its full cast : Space - saving Smite / Heal . Saves space by having the same button cast Smite on enemies , and Flash Heal on friendly targets : This macro can be duplicated for other damage and healing spells in the priest ' s arsenal . A more complicated macro can introduce a sequence of DPS spells : Shackle Undead and focus on target . This macro will first Shackle Undead your current target and set that target to be your focus target . This will allow you to reshackle a mob without having to retarget it . If you want to announce your shackle add a line like this to the end of the macro Super PoM . This macro starts by attempting to PoM the target of whatever enemy you have selected . It ' s perfect in PvP for helping out the target of the enemy player you select , and it ' s perfect in PvE for getting an instant heal in on someone who may have accidentally pulled aggro . If you have no target selected , it attempts to PoM your Focus if you have one set up . If neither of those happen , you will PoM yourself . Shield Self without losing healing target . On one button press you can use on yourself without losing your current healing target . Greater Heal w / Trinkets . This macro will use both trinkets and cast Inner Focus before casting Greater Heal . Resurrection Announcer . Does not execute if you ' re in combat . Selects resurrection for casting on next click if your target is not friendly or not dead . Better Resurrection Notifier . This macro checks if your in range of the target and if your in a group before you are announcing that you are resurrecting people when you actually arent . this macro is best suited for Clique , by binding a mouse combination with a special macro . if you are putting this macro on your actionbars , then its best if you add # showtooltip as the first line I ' m under attack ! This is possibly the most important macro a party / raid healer can have . Put it in an easily accessible action bar slot , or bind it to something convenient . Particularly useful while pulling . Gets a near instantaneous response out of most tanks ( and the beefier DPS will typically run to your aid , too ) . Without it , party members will often simply not notice that you ' ve drawn aggro until you have died . Variants include using / p or / y instead of the raid warning . However , I have found that in the kind of sticky situations where you NEED the macro , party members are far too distracted to notice party chat or a yell ; the raid warning never fails . 5 . 4 Discipline Macros . Penance Autotarget . This macro will allow you to always keep a target when spamming your Penance key . Pain Suppression . Casts Pain Suppression with the following parameters : Pain Suppression . casts Pain Suppression on your mouseover and alerts raid with a link and the length of effect Pain Suppression . This is another macro like the last that is more for PVE healing because it only casts the spell on the focus target , but it also checks whether you ' re in a raid or party , then announces it accordingly . you can also always replace the two words " focus " with " mouseover " in order to have it cast on your mouseover . Shadow Macros . DOTs . # showtooltip Clip - prevention Mind Flay . Prevents clipping off the previous Mind Flay before its full cast : One - button Mind Flay and Mind Sear . Casts Mind Flay unless you press the shift key , in which cases casts Mind Sear : A General Shadow priest PvP Macro . Enable ' s a quick and easy way to setup a button to auto enter Shadowform if you are not in it before casting , and with the addition of shift or alt modifier , allows you to heal yourself or your target ! ( Only heals target if target is friendly ! ) Shadow Priest All - in - One Panic Button .
