Holy Priest Healing Macros and Addons — Midnight Season 1
On this page, you will find a number of useful macros and addons to make your life easier when playing your Holy Priest in World of Warcraft — Midnight Season 1.

Holy Priest Addons
Specific Addons for Holy Priests
Twintop's Resource Bar
Twintop's Resource Bar for Holy Priest
allows you to easily track your current mana and health, remaining Apotheosis buff with ending indication, and Surge of
Light procs. The bar also has features allowing you to track the status of
Holy Word: Serenity,
Holy Word: Sanctify, and
Holy Word: Chastise along with your
Lightweaver stacks.
Raid Frame Addons
Raid frame addons help you keep track of your party or raid members' health, buffs, and debuffs. Blizzard includes customisable raid frames as part of the game. There are also popular addons that build on top of this and provide you with more options and customisation when using the default raid frames.
It is also popular for players to choose a raid frame replacement addon which overhaul the display and configuration of their party and raid frames. Popular choices include Grid2 and VuhDo.
Click-to-Cast Addons
To easily cast spells on your allies by using mouse-clicks, Click-to-Cast allows you to cast spells by simply clicking on a unit frame, rather than targeting and then casting. Blizzard includes a built-in Click-to-Cast option, but many players prefer to use addons for more customisation and ease of use. Popular addon choices include Clicked and Clique.
Generic Addons for Priests
Boss Mods: Deadly Boss Mods or Bigwigs
Boss mods are addons that warn you about boss abilities and give you live advice on how to handle some mechanics. We strongly recommend you to get one such addon. At Icy Veins, we mostly use Deadly Boss Mods, the most popular boss mod. A good alternative is Big Wigs.
Method Raid Tools
Method Raid Tools is a useful addon that allows you to track the cooldowns of other raid members, as well as providing you with a wealth of other useful raid information.
Holy Priest Macros
For the Holy Priest Macros we collaborated with Elvenbane, moderator for Warcraft Priests and author of their popular Useful Macro Templates guide.
We highly suggest that all of your healing spells, as well as other utility spells that can be cast on allies
(such as
Guardian Spirit and
Purify), be easily accessible. This can be done either through using the
in-game Click-to-Cast option, macros or by addons such as Clique. This will allow you to much more easily cast them on
raid members as swiftly as possible.
Basic Healing Macro
This macro is the basis of all of your healing and buff spell macros. You simply replace SPELL with the spell you want that should be cast on a friendly unit including healing spells and dispels. It works as follows.
- Holding Alt: Self Cast.
- Mouseover Friend: Cast on Mouseover.
- Target Friend: Cast on Target.
- Target Enemy Targeting Friend: Cast on Enemy's Target.
- Default casting Behaviour: Casts as if there was no macro, and generates the tooltip.
Basic Healing Macro
Self-Casting Angelic Feather Macro
This is a really handy macro that casts
Angelic Feather under the
player using the new @player shorthand.
Self-Casting Angelic Feather Macro
Holy Word: Sanctify Under Cursor
This macro allows you to cast
Holy Word: Sanctify under your cursor
immediately, saving you another mouse click. Keep in mind, however, that it can be
difficult to accurately judge where Sanctify will land without the targeting
reticle.

Cancelling Spirit of Redemption
Sometimes you will want to cancel
Spirit of Redemption early. To easily do this, use the macro below:
Cancel Spirit of Redemption Macro
Power Infusion Mouseover Macro
This macro will cast
Power Infusion on the target you are currently mousing over, if it is a friendly target
and not dead. Otherwise, it will cast Power Infusion on your current target, and finally yourself if no valid target is
found.
Power Infusion Mouseover Macro
Leap of Faith Mouseover Macro
This macro will cast
Leap of Faith on the target you are currently mousing over, if it is a
friendly target and not dead. Otherwise, it will cast Leap of Faith on your current target.
Leap of Faith Mouseover Macro
Shackle Horror Focus Macro
This macro allows you to not only cast
Shackle Horror on your target but also
set it as a focus so you can keep an eye on the shackle and recast it if needed.
- Holding Shift: Clear focus.
- Holding Alt: Set focus and cast
Shackle Horror on focus. - Default Casting Behaviour: Casts as if there was no macro, and generates the tooltip.
Shackle Horror Focus Macro
Basic Damage & Healing Macro
This is a basic mouseover macro for combining offensive and healing spells into one button. You simply replace HELP_SPELL with the healing spell you want to cast, and HARM_SPELL with the offensive spell you want to cast.
Basic Healing & Damage Macro
You can also flip them around if you would prefer the offensive spell to be displayed over the healing spell.
