Macro framework¶

Following functions are suited for macro writing.

Note

arguments inside [ ] are optional.

Note

watch out for spaces after comma!

Note

<spell> refers to spell name as you seen it in the tooltip, if rank is not specified will be cast the highest.

HINT: to specify rank for spell use this syntax

Spell Name(Rank X)

Example:

Smite(Rank 2)

Command chain¶

You can chain more commands into a single macro. All the commands will be executed, but if there are more cast only the first will be casted (due to global cooldown).

Target nearest enemy and cast¶

/mi tcast <spell>

This will target nearest enemy unit (like TAB usually does) and cast <spell>

Example

/tcast Attack
/tcast Shoot
/tcast Shadow Word: Pain
/tcast Hamstring

Target nearest friend and cast¶

/mi ftcast <spell>

This will target nearest friendly unit (like CTRL-TAB usually does) and cast <spell>

Example

/mi ftcast Renew
/mi ftcast Flash of Light

Stance switch¶

Even if you can use castsequence to change stances in sequence, a check on current active stance help to get to the right stance in one key press.

/mi stance <stance1>, <stance2>[, <stance3>, ..., <stanceN>]

This will check your active stance and change to the next one from the list.

If the active stance is the last, or is not in the list, will cast <stance1>.

Example

/mi stance Battle Stance, Defensive Stance, Berserker Stance
/mi stance Berserker, Battle
/mi stance Ber, Def, Bat

Note

this should work also for druid forms and paladin auras, but i don’t tested that yet

Stance random switch¶

/mi stancerandom [<stance1>, ..., <stanceN>]

Switch to a random stance from list.

If list is not provided, switch to a random stance from all the player’s one.

Example

/mi stancerandom
/mi stancerandom Cat Form, Bear Form, Travel Form

Note

this should work also for druid forms and paladin auras, but i don’t tested that yet

Castsequence¶

If you played latest version of WoW you sure have used at least one time /castsequence macro, but in vanilla there’s not castsequence, so…

/mi castsequence [reset=<sec>/combat/target] <spell1>, <spell2>[, <spell3>, ..., <spellN>]

This will cast <spell1>, then <spell2>, then …, then <spellN> then again <spell1>, etc.

reset=combat will reset when you enter or exit combat
reset=target will reset when you change target
reset=<sec> will reset after <sec> seconds

You can mix up them using / as separator

Example

/mi castsequence Holy Light, Flash of Light
/mi castsequence reset=10 Renew, Lesser Heal
/mi castsequence reset=target Renew, Lesser Heal
/mi castsequence reset=combat Renew, Lesser Heal
/mi castsequence reset=combat/target Heroic Strike, Hamstring
/mi castsequence reset=5/combat/target Mind Blast, Smite, Shadow Word Word: Pain

Note

for backward compatibility, this is still supported but is DEPRECATED

/mi castsequence <sec> ...

Castrandom¶

/mi castrandom <spell1>, <spell2>[, <spell3>, ..., <spellN>]

This will cast a random spell from the ones provided

Example

/mi castrandom Smite, Mind Blast, Shadow Word: Pain
/mi castrandom Flash of Light, Holy Light
/mi castrandom Shadow Bolt, Curse of Agony

Spam heals based on HP¶

/mi heal <percent> <spellname>

This will cast the selected spell on nearest friendly player with HP percent inferior to <percent>.

Example

/mi heal 80 Flash Heal
/mi heal 50 Holy Light

The first will cast “Flash Heal” on nearest friendly player with less than 80% HP.

The first will cast “Holy Light” on nearest friendly player with less than 50% HP.

Cast spell based on HP¶

index: Cast spell based on HP

/mi lspell <percent> <spell1>[, <spell2>]

This will check for your target HP, and will cast <spell1> if its HP percent is inferior to <percent>, otherwise, will cast <spell2>.

Example

/mi lspell 20 Execute, Heroic Strike
/mi lspell 50 Heal, Lesser Heal
/mi lspell 20 Flash Heal

The first will cast Execute if target has less than 20% HP, else Heroic Strike.

The second will cast Heal if target has less than 50% HP, else Lesser Heal.

The third will cast Flash Heal if target has less than 20% HP.

Class based cast¶

index: Class based cast

/mi ccast <class1>[ <class2> ... <classN>], <spell>

This will cast the selected <spell> only if target’s class match with classes provided.

Example

/mi ccast Warrior Rogue, Blessing of Might
/mi ccast Mage Warlock Priest, Blessing of Wisdom
/mi ccast Paladin, Blessing of Kings

HINT: you can put multiple ccast in a single macro, to cast different spell on different classes, like i did on the example.

Buff/Debuff spamming¶

You can write a macro to cast buff on nearest unbuffed player o debuff to nearest undebuffed unit.

In order to do this, you must know how did Blizzard named the icon that represents the buff/debuff.

Here you got 2 functions to help you with discovering buff/debuffs icon names

/mi pbuff
/mi pdebuff

These 2 functions will operate on your target (or you if you don’t have a target) and will print on chat the list of buff/debuff names. You can use that names to write the following macros.

/mi mbuff <spell>, <buff_icon_name>

This will cast <spell> on nearest friendly player that is unbuffed with buff represented by <buff_icon_name>.

/mi mdebuff <spell>, <debuff_icon_name>

This will cast <spell> on nearest enemy unit that is undebuffed with debuff represented by <debuff_icon_name>.

Buff/Debuff based cast¶

You can write macro to cast spell based of target status (buffed/unbuffed with a specified buff/debuff)

See “Buff/Debuff spamming” for information about <buff_icon_name> and <debuff_icon_name>

/mi bcast <buff_icon_name>, <spell1>[, <spell2>]

This will cast <spell1> if target is not buffed with buff represented by <buff_icon_name>, else <spell2>.

Example

/mi bcast Fortitude, Power Word: Fortitude, Power Word: Shield

This will cast “Power Word: Fortitude” if target is unbuffed with a buff that contains ‘Fortitude’ in its icon name, else “Power Word: Shield”

Note

in this example, i used ‘Fortitude’ as <buff_icon_name> instead of the entire icon name, you can do it if you want (this will also check for Prayer of Fortitude buffs) !

/mi dcast <debuff_icon_name>, <spell1>[, <spell2>]

This will cast <spell1> if target is not debuffed with debuff represented by <debuff_icon_name>, else <spell2>

Example

/mi dcast Pain, Shadow Word: Pain, Mind Blast

This will cast “Shadow Word: Pain” if target is not debuffed with a debuff with contains ‘Pain’ in its icon name, else will cast “Mind Blast”

Buff/Debuff stacks count based cast¶

You can write macro that will cast a spell if the target is buffed/debuffed and has a particular number of stacks of that debuff.

/mi bccast <buff_icon_name>, <operator>, <count>, <spell1>[, <spell2>]

Example

/mi bccast InnerFire, >=, 20, Power Word: Fortitude, Inner Fire

The example above will cast Fortitude only if the target has a number major or equal to 20 of inner fire stacks, in all the other cases will cast Inner Fire.

/mi dccast <debuff_icon_name>, <operator>, <count>, <spell1>[, <spell2>]

Example

/mi dccast Spell_Shadow_BlackPlague, >=, 4, Mind Flay, Mind Flay(Rank 1)

The example above is useful if you want to use a lower rank of Mind Flay to apply stacks of “Shadow Vulnerability”.

Available operators are: <, >, !=, ==, <=, >=

Cast spell based on target lvl¶

/mi lvlcast <min_lvl> <spell1>[, <spell2>]

This will cast <spell1> if target lvl is major/equal <min_lvl>, else <spell2>.

Example

/mi lvlcast 20 Smite

This will cast “Smite” only if target is lvl 20+

HINT: you can chain this commands in a macro to cast different spells on target of different level range

Example

/mi lvlcast 50 Power Word: Fortitude(Rank 6)
/mi lvlcast 38 Power Word: Fortitude(Rank 5)
/mi lvlcast 26 Power Word: Fortitude(Rank 4), Power Word: Fortitude(Rank 3)

This will cast rank 6 if target is 50+, rank 5 if target is 38-49, rank 4 if target is 26-37, rank 3 else.

Note

launching this macro can cause “Another action is in progress” message, this is normal because if you cast the first spell (Rank 6) then you can’t cast Rank 5-4 due to cooldown.

Cast appropriate rank for a spell¶

/mi rcast <max_rank> <spell>

This will cast the appropriate spell rank based on target lvl.

<max_rank> is the highest available rank for <spell>.

Lvl	Rank
1	1
2-13	2
14-25	3
26-37	4
38-49	5
50 +	6

Example:

/mi rcast 6 Power Word: Fortitude

Mana based spell¶

Note

this macro should work with rage/energy too.

/mi manacast <min_mana> <spell1>[, <spell2>]

This will cast <spell1> if your remaining mana is major/equal <min_mana>, else <spell2>

Example

/mi manacast 1000 Holy Light
/mi manacast 200 Flash of Light(Rank 2), Flash of Light(Rank 1)

The first will cast Holy Light if you have 1000 or more mana left.

The second will cast Flash of Light: rank 2 if you have 200+ mana left, rank 1 else

Mana percent based spell¶

Note

this macro should work with rage/energy too.

Same as manacast but this time will be checked in <percent>.

/mi mpcast <mana_percent> <spell1>[, <spell2>]

Example

/mi mpcast 70 Holy Light
/mi mpcast 50 Flash of Light(Rank 2), Flash of Light(Rank 1)

The first will cast Holy Light if you have 70% or more mana left.

The second will cast Flash of Light: rank 2 if you have 50%+ mana left, rank 1 else
