Paladin macros

Paladins are righteous warriors, using their faith in the Light to protect their allies, smite their enemies, and uphold justice.

20 macros

  • #showtooltip Blessing of Freedom
    /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help][@player] Blessing of Freedom

    Frees whoever you are hovering from snares and roots, falling back to your target and then to yourself. Freedom is time-critical and rarely needed on your current target.

  • #showtooltip Blessing of Protection
    /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help][@player] Blessing of Protection

    Drops the physical immunity on a hovered ally. Because it also stops them attacking, being able to aim it precisely at the person who actually needs saving matters.

  • #showtooltip Blessing of Sacrifice
    /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help] Blessing of Sacrifice

    Takes a share of a hovered ally's damage. Usually thrown on the tank the moment a big hit is incoming, which you want to do without dropping whoever you are healing.

  • #showtooltip
    /cast [known:Blessing of Spellwarding,@party1] Blessing of Spellwarding; [@party1] Blessing of Protection

    Casts Spellwarding on the first player in your party frames, falling back to Blessing of Protection if you have not talented it. Handy in arena where you know exactly who needs it.

  • /cancelaura Blessing of Freedom

    Drops Freedom off yourself. Against Mages who want to steal it, removing the buff before they can take it denies them a free escape.

  • /cancelaura Blessing of Protection

    Removes Protection from yourself so you can attack again. The immunity blocks your own physical damage too, which is rarely what you want once the danger has passed.

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

    Dispels whoever your cursor is over. Holy Paladins get Cleanse and everyone else gets Cleanse Toxins — swap the name to match your specialisation.

  • #showtooltip Consecration
    /cast [@player] Consecration

    Drops Consecration under you with no confirmation click. Protection Paladins want to be standing in it at all times, so this is pressed constantly.

  • #showtooltip Crusader Strike
    /startattack
    /cast Crusader Strike

    Casts Crusader Strike and guarantees your auto-attack is running. Auto attacks silently switching off after a knockback is a real and easily-missed damage loss.

  • #showtooltip Divine Toll
    /cast Avenging Wrath
    /cast Divine Toll
    /use 13

    Fires Avenging Wrath and Divine Toll together with your first trinket. Lining up your burst on one key means you never open a window with half of it missing.

  • #showtooltip Final Reckoning
    /cast [@cursor] Final Reckoning

    Places Final Reckoning at your cursor instantly, so your burst window starts on the pack rather than a click late.

  • #showtooltip Flash of Light
    /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help][@player] Flash of Light

    Your fast heal pointed with the cursor. Falls back to your target and then to yourself so the key is never wasted.

  • #showtooltip
    /cast [@arena1] Hammer of Justice

    Stuns the first enemy in the arena frames regardless of what you have targeted. Change arena1 to arena2 or arena3 for the others.

  • #showtooltip Hammer of Justice
    /cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Hammer of Justice

    Stuns your focus without a target swap. Between Rebuke and Hammer of Justice you can lock a single caster out almost indefinitely if both are pointed at the same unit.

  • #showtooltip Intercession
    /cast [@mouseover,help][] Intercession

    Combat resurrection aimed with the cursor. Hovering the corpse is dramatically faster than finding a dead player in the raid frames.

  • #showtooltip Lay on Hands
    /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help][@player] Lay on Hands

    Full-heals whoever you are hovering. This is a once-per-fight button that has to land on the right person immediately, which is exactly what a mouseover bind is for.

  • #showtooltip Rebuke
    /cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Rebuke

    Interrupts your focus target if you have one, otherwise your current target. Standard focus interrupt behaviour, and the first macro most Paladins make.

  • #showtooltip Redemption
    /cast Redemption
    /p Resurrecting %t

    Resurrects your target and tells the party who you are bringing back, so two healers do not waste casts on the same corpse. The %t is replaced with your target name.

  • #showtooltip Repentance
    /cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Repentance

    Incapacitates your focus target. Repentance breaks on damage, so casting it on the unit you are attacking would be self-defeating — this keeps them separate.

  • #showtooltip Word of Glory
    /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help][@player] Word of Glory

    Spends Holy Power on a hovered ally. Retribution and Protection both get real healing out of Word of Glory, and both want to aim it without losing their target.

Every class shares the same macro syntax, so a good idea usually ports across.
