Macros

1.1.

Specific Macros for Discipline Priests

We do highly suggest that all of your heals, as well as other spells that can be cast on raid members (such as Levitate Icon 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 Icon 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 Icon 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.

1.1.1.

Penance Macros

It is strongly recommended to keep the Offensive and Defensive Penance Icon 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
Help Only:
  • #showtooltip Penance
  • /cast [@mouseover,help] Penance
1.1.2.

NoChanneling Macro

Due to the way Penance Icon 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 Icon 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] Smite
1.1.3.

Angelic Feather Macro

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

  • #showtooltip Angelic Feather
  • /cast [@player] Angelic Feather
  • /stopspelltarget
1.1.4.

Halo/Divine Star Macro

  • #showtooltip
  • /cast [known: 110744] Divine Star; [known: 120517] Halo;

Addons

2.1.

Common Essential Addons

2.2.

ElvUI

Here, at Icy Veins, we use ElvUI for all our characters. This addon is a complete replacement of the default User Interface. It comes with almost everything you need to perform properly: action bars, cooldown timers, proc display, etc.

We strongly recommend that you get this addon and our forum moderator Pandacho has written a quick configuration guide for it.

2.2.1.

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.

2.2.2.

Weak Auras

WeakAuras is an extremely useful addon that allows you to have visual effects on your screen, helping you track your buffs, debuffs and cooldowns. It is highly customisable and it can make it much, much easier to keep track of your procs and play your spec more proficiently. It can also be used for a variety of other functions.

2.2.3.

Details!

"Details!" Damage Meter is a real-time DPS/HPS meter with a lot of additional functionality such as being able to see cooldowns, buffs, debuffs, damage done to specific targets, and statistical analysis. In our opinion, it is superior to Skada in terms of functionality, although it is slightly more complicated to configure. We recommend Details! as your default damage meter, but if you prefer something easier, then Skada is still a good option.

2.2.4.

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.

2.3.

Alternative Raid Frames

For healers, raid frames are a very important, but personal choice. Great options for an alternative to the ElvUI raid frames include Grid2 and Vuhdo.
