Rescue (Mouseover)

Grips an ally to you without changing target. Rescue is a knock-forward as well as a save, so binding it to mouseover means you can pull someone out of a swirly while continuing your own cast.

Where to paste this

Type /macro (or press Esc → Macros) to open the macro window.
Choose "General Macros" to share the macro across all characters, or "<Character> Specific Macros" to keep it on one character.
Click New, pick an icon — the "?" icon plus #showtooltip makes the button mirror whatever spell it will cast — and name the macro.
Paste the macro body into the text area, then drag the macro icon onto an action bar.
Bind the action bar slot to a key as usual; the macro fires on key press.

More WoW macros

Evoker macros first, then the rest of the WoW library.

Blessing of the Bronze with Announce
Evoker
```
#showtooltip Blessing of the Bronze
/cast Blessing of the Bronze
/raid Bronze is up
```
Casts the raid-wide movement buff and tells the group it is up, so nobody stands there waiting for it. Swap /raid for /party when you are in a five-player group.
Cauterizing Flame (Mouseover Dispel)
Evoker
```
#showtooltip Cauterizing Flame
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][@player] Cauterizing Flame
```
Dispels a bleed, poison, curse or disease from whoever you are hovering, and heals them for doing it. Falls back to yourself when there is nothing under the cursor.
Deep Breath at the Cursor
Evoker
```
#showtooltip Deep Breath
/cast [@cursor] Deep Breath
```
Deep Breath is a targeted flight path. Casting it at the cursor removes the confirmation click, which is the difference between hitting the pull and landing behind it.
Emerald Blossom (Cursor)
Evoker
```
#showtooltip Emerald Blossom
/cast [@cursor] Emerald Blossom
```
Drops your area heal at the cursor rather than on your own position. Preservation wants the blossom on the melee stack, which is rarely where the Evoker is standing.
Hover While Casting
Evoker
```
#showtooltip Living Flame
/cast [mod:alt] Hover
/cast Living Flame
```
Hover lets Evokers cast while moving. Weaving it into your main filler means you almost never have to stop for a mechanic, and one keybind is cheaper than two.
Instant Rank Empower
Evoker
```
#showtooltip Fire Breath
/cast [mod:shift] Fire Breath
/cast Fire Breath
```
Empowered spells normally charge while you hold the key. Adding a modifier lets one button do both: hold Shift for a snap rank-one cast, press it normally to charge to the rank you want.
Landslide (Cursor)
Evoker
```
#showtooltip Landslide
/cast [@cursor] Landslide
```
Places the rooting pillar at your cursor with no reticle step, so it lands across the path of whatever you are kiting.
Living Flame (Mouseover)
Evoker
```
#showtooltip Living Flame
/cast [@mouseover,exists,nodead][] Living Flame
```
Living Flame heals friendly targets and damages hostile ones, so a single mouseover macro covers both jobs — hover an ally to heal, hover an enemy to burn.
