Best Macros

We highly suggest that all of your heals, as well as other spells castable on raid members (such as Levitate Icon Levitate, for preventing fall damage), be incorporated into mouseover macros. The macros will allow you to cast them on raid members more easily. 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:

Generic Mouseover Macro Example

#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 not dead. Otherwise, it will cast on your current target.

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:

Offensive Only Penance

#showtooltip Penance /cast [harm] Penance

Help Only:

Defensive Only Penance

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

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.

Note: Current recommendations include intentionally clipping Penance casts for optimal gameplay. As a result, you should likely not be using this macro this patch. Check out the rotation page for more information.

NoChanneling Example

#showtooltip Smite /cast [nochanneling:penance] Smite

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.

Angelic Feather Macro

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

Best Addons

Listed below are some recommended Addons for Discipline Priest.

2.1.

Alternative Raid Frame Options

Grid2 is our recommended Addon for Raid frames, providing a massive amount of customization options as well as being incredibly performant. The largest downside of this Addon is the high barrier to entry as its not the simplest to learn, but very rewarding once you do so.

EllesmereUI is an incredibly popular full UI suite with solid customization and performance right out of the box. This addon also includes custom Raid frames. If you are looking for a full Ui package with minimal effort, this is a very good option over just sticking with default UI.
