Power Word: Shield (Mouseover)

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

Where to paste this

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

More WoW macros

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

  • Angelic Feather (Self)

    Priest

    #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.

  • Cancel Levitate and Leap of Faith

    Priest

    #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.

  • Divine Star / Halo

    Priest

    #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.

  • Flash Heal (Mouseover)

    Priest

    #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.

  • Guardian Spirit (Mouseover)

    Priest

    #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.

  • Heal (Mouseover)

    Priest

    #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.

  • Holy Word: Chastise (Arena 1)

    Priest

    #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.

  • Mass Dispel (Cursor)

    Priest

    #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.
