WoW Forever Priest Macros

8 macros, ready to copy into the game

Mouseover heals, shields and dispels for Holy and Discipline, plus Shadow DoT and execute macros. Each heal falls back to you when nobody is hovered, so no press is wasted. New to the class? Read the Priest class guide or browse Priest builds.

In game, type /macro, click New, pick an icon and paste. Macros can hold up to 255 characters. Spell names can change with patches, so test a macro before relying on it in a raid.

Raiding 8

Add Taunt (pick up loose mobs)

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead] Growl; [harm] Growl

Adds spawning behind the raid need taunting yesterday. Mouseover-taunt lets you grab the add without changing your boss target (and losing your tank rotation position). Why mouseover: you stay on the boss the whole time — the add is grabbed by hovering, not targeting.

Assist the Main Tank (pull follower)

#showtooltip
/assist [@focus,exists]
/startattack

Sets your focus to the MT at the start of the raid, then this button snaps you onto whatever they're tanking and starts attacking. Why it matters: it eliminates the "I attacked the wrong target" problem entirely — your DPS always lands on the tank's current target, which is the correct kill order.

Full Burst (trinkets + racial + potion)

#showtooltip
/cast Blood Fury
/use 13
/use 14
/use [combat] Potion of Wild Magic

Raid DPS is measured in cooldown windows. This stacks your racial (+attack power/int), both trinkets, and a combat potion into one keypress so they overlap during the boss's damage window . Why overlap matters: multiplicative buffs stacked together produce dramatically more damage than using them spread out. One key = the whole burst.

Mark Skull + Announce (leader call)

/script SetRaidTarget("target", 8)
/script SendChatMessage("SKULL -> "..UnitName("target"), "RAID")

Marks the kill target and announces it in raid chat in one press. The UnitName pull makes the call self-documenting — no "who's skull?" questions when the pull starts.

Mark Targets (skull / cross / moon)

#showtooltip
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 8)

8 = Skull (kill first), 7 = X (kill second), 3 = Moon (CC), 4 = Triangle (trap). Marking targets mid-fight is the single biggest DPS-coordination tool in raiding. Bind three of these (Skull/X/Moon) to Q/E/R.

Ready Check (one key)

/readycheck

The built-in /readycheck pings every raid member for a Ready/Not-Ready popup. Why macro it? Because it belongs on the same key cluster as your pull macros — one hand runs the whole pull sequence without opening menus. Press it before every pull while trash is being cleared.

Raid CD: Save the Tank (priest/druid/paladin)

#showtooltip
/cast [@focus,help,nodead] Power Word: Shield; [@mouseover,help,nodead] Power Word: Shield

The classic-era tank-save is a pre-cast Power Word: Shield on the tank you're assigned to protect — focus = tank, one key fires the bubble when the boss's big hit lands. Paladins use Blessing of Sacrifice, druids use Innervate→heal or pre-HoT Rejuvenation. The pattern holds: pre-assigned focus + one key = no target-switching during a 1-second tank-buster.

Tank-Assist Heal (heal whoever the boss is hitting)

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

The tank-heal assist: target the boss, spam this, and you automatically heal the tank who has aggro. In single-tank fights this is faster than mouseover raid frames — zero targeting overhead. The fallback chain (mouseover → self) keeps it useful everywhere else.
