Discipline Priest Healing Macros and Addons — Midnight Pre-Patch (12.0)

We do highly suggest that all of your heals, as well as other spells that can be cast on raid members (such as Levitate, for preventing fall damage) be incorporated into mouseover macros. This will allow you to much more easily cast them on raid members. As an alternative to creating mouseover macros, you can use Clique.

Here is an example of a mouseover macro. Simply replace Power Word: Shield with the name of the spell you want to use:

• #showtooltip Power Word: Shield
• /cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead][]Power Word: Shield

This will cast Power Word: Shield on your mouseover target, if it is a friendly target and it is not dead. Otherwise, it will cast on your current target.

It is strongly recommended to keep the Offensive and Defensive Penance components separated. You can either use a macro with modifiers or use two separate keybinds with harm/help modifiers.

Harm Only:

• #showtooltip Penance
• /cast [harm] Penance

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

Due to the way Penance works, when you try to queue another spell during its cast, you can accidentally interrupt the last bolt. To avoid this, apply the following conditional to specific spells, very often being Smite, that cause it the most for you. This works with any spell and not just smite. Smite is simply used as an example here.

• #showtooltip Smite
• /cast [nochanneling:penance,nochanneling:dark reprimand] Smite

This is a really handy macro that casts Angelic Feather under the player using the @player shorthand.

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

With the significant revamp of Addons moving into Midnight, this section of the guide will be updated as soon as the Addon landscape situates itself. Recommendations will be posted as soon as possible.
