Priest macros

Priests are powerful healers and spellcasters, channeling divine power to mend wounds, shield their allies, and smite their foes.

20 macros

  • #showtooltip Angelic Feather
    /cast [@player] Angelic Feather

    Drops a speed feather directly on yourself rather than making you place it and walk into it. When you need to move right now, the two-step version is too slow.

  • #showtooltip Leap of Faith
    /cancelaura Levitate
    /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help] Leap of Faith

    Removes Levitate before gripping an ally. Levitate keeps you airborne longer and you cannot grip mid-jump, so cancelling it first makes the pull land noticeably sooner.

  • #showtooltip
    /cast [known:Halo] Halo; Divine Star

    Casts whichever of the two you have talented, so one keybind covers both choices and you do not have to rearrange your bars when you swap builds.

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

    Your fast heal aimed with the cursor, falling back to your target and then yourself. The single most useful macro a Priest can make.

  • #showtooltip Guardian Spirit
    /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help] Guardian Spirit

    The Holy version of the emergency external, aimed with the cursor. Guardian Spirit only helps if it lands before the killing blow, which makes speed the whole point.

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

    The efficient counterpart to Flash Heal, pointed with the mouse so you can top someone up without a target swap.

  • #showtooltip
    /stopcasting
    /cast [@arena1] Holy Word: Chastise

    Stuns the first enemy in the arena frames without a target swap. Change arena1 to arena2 or arena3 to cover the rest of the enemy team.

  • #showtooltip Mass Dispel
    /cast [@cursor] Mass Dispel

    Drops Mass Dispel at your cursor with no reticle step. Mass Dispel is frequently needed the instant a shield goes up, and the saved click is the whole macro.

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

    Takes control of your focus target. Keeping it off your current target avoids the classic mistake of mind controlling the mob you are killing.

  • #showtooltip Pain Suppression
    /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help] Pain Suppression

    Throws your big external onto a hovered ally. Pain Suppression is a reaction to something already happening, so any delay from clicking frames costs you the save.

  • #showtooltip Power Word: Shield
    /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help][@player] Power Word: Shield

    Shields whoever you are hovering. Discipline Priests apply shields constantly and to different people every global, which makes this essential rather than merely convenient.

  • #showtooltip Psychic Scream
    /stopcasting
    /cast Psychic Scream

    Cancels your cast and fears everything around you. Standing there finishing a heal while three melee beat on you is exactly the situation Scream exists for.

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

    Dispels magic and disease from whoever your cursor is over. Shadow and Discipline should swap the name to Purify Disease or Dispel Magic as appropriate.

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

    Drops a heal-over-time on a hovered ally without interrupting whatever else you are working on.

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

    Revives whoever you hover after a wipe, which is far quicker than clicking through a list of dead names.

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

    Crowd controls your focus without dropping your current target. Shackle breaks on damage, so it belongs on something nobody is attacking.

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

    Silences your focus target, otherwise your current target. Silence both interrupts and locks the school, so aiming it deliberately is worth the extra setup.

  • #showtooltip Mind Flay
    /cast [nochanneling:Mind Flay] Mind Flay

    Refuses to recast while Mind Flay is already channelling, so mashing the key cannot clip your own channel and lose you ticks.

  • #showtooltip Fade
    /stopcasting
    /cast Fade

    Drops your cast and fades immediately. Fade sheds threat and, with the right talents, mitigates damage, and both uses are reactions that cannot wait for a cast bar.

  • #showtooltip Flash Heal
    /stopcasting
    /cast Flash Heal

    Abandons your current cast and starts a Flash Heal immediately. When someone is about to die, finishing the slow heal you already started is usually the wrong answer.

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