Community Resources/Add-ons

Macros

Macro are short scripts that can be made to combine, automate; or, modify actions you perform. No add-ons are required for macros and so the only investment required is a bit of typing through the Blizzard UI.

There are several types of macros for the purpose of this discussion we will only be looking at some combat-related macros.

Macro conditionals

  • Target conditionals. Modifies the behaviour of a spell based on target information.
    • Mouseover, Cursor, Player
    • Help, Harm
    • Exists
  • Environmental conditionals. Modifies the behaviour of a spell based on your location.
    • Swimming, Indoors, Outdoors
    • Party, Raid, Group
  • Player conditionals
    • Form, stance (druid, stealth)
    • Channel

Action Commands

  • Talent
  • Cancelaura. Removes buffs.
  • Use 13/14
  • Stopcasting

Tips and Tricks

  • #showtooltip will give the tooltip of the spell in a command and match the icon for that spell on your action bar.
