Mists of Pandaria Classic Guide to Death Knight's Best Macros
Welcome to our Macro Guide for Death Knight where you will find out what the best
macros are for your Death Knight in Mists of Pandaria Classic.
Death Knight Macros in Mists of Pandaria
This guide focused on showing some examples of some useful Macros on your Death Knight and how they function. A macro is a series of commands put into a text box to execute multiple actions either simultaneously or sequentially depending on how the ability/item functions.
General Macros
- Start Auto Attack
- /cast Scourge Strike
This is an especially useful macro as a Death Knight as there is rarely
ever a situation where you do not want to be auto-attacking while in combat so
make sure to macro this in with whatever your abilities like Frost Strike
or
Rune Strike you are using depending on your specialization.
- Focus Mind Freeze:
- #showtooltip Mind Freeze
- /cast [@focus] Mind Freeze
This macro allows you to cast your Interrupt Mind Freeze on your
focus target as opposed to your primary target. This can also be used
for abilities like
Death Grip or
Gorefiend's Grasp allowing you to
continue your DPS rotation while helping your group.
- Pet Attack:
- /petfollow
- /petattack
This macro is really only useful as Unholy but will cause your Ghoul to attack your current target. It is important
to note that this will only really impact any minions you have with a pet bar, so things like your Army of the Dead
ghouls will not be directed by this.
- Death Coil Pet Heal:
- /target ghoul name
- /cast Death Coil
- /targetlasttarget
This macro is used to heal your ghoul with your Death Coil ability. The macro will also
immediately return you back to your previous target, often times the mob you are attacking. Make sure to fill in
the ghoul name with the name of your summoned ghoul.
- Mouseover Death and Decay:
- #showtooltip Death and Decay
- /cast [@cursor] Death and Decay
This macro causes your Death and Decay ability to instantly be cast at your cursors current location
as opposed to having to press the button a second time in order to place it which can at times cost you a GCD
or may even cause you to misplace it.
Death Knight Addons
Macros are very important in making your character play as smoothly as possible, but so do addons, for which reason we recommend that you also read our Death Knight Addons page.
