Restoration Shaman PvP Useful Macros — Midnight Season 1
Macros are crucial to be successful in PvP. They allow players to use abilities on enemies without having to target them. This helps increase overall damage/healing and general awareness in the arena. Here are a few macros that all Restoration Shaman can benefit from.
This page is part of our Restoration Shaman PvP Guide.
Arena Targeting
Arena Target 1 Macro
This macro allows you to target each of the enemy team players without clicking with your mouse. This is a more efficient method of changing targets. You should replace "arena1" with "arena2" and "arena3" for subsequent macros.
Arena Target Interrupts
Interupt Arena Target Macro
This macro will use your
Wind Shear interrupt on
the specific enemy team player without changing targets. Again, replace
"arena1" with the desired enemy.
Targeting Teammates and Self
Target Party 1 Macro
As the following macro works like the enemy targeting macros above. To target your teammates insert "party1" or "party2"; to target yourself, replace with "player".
Hex 123 Macro
Arena Target123 Hex Macro
Using this macro will cast
Hex on arena enemy 1.
This makes it easier to crowd-control an enemy while staying focused on
your target. If you want macros for the second and third enemies,
simply change the arena1 to arena2 or arena3.
Hex Focus Macro
Focus Hex Macro
If you find that you do not have much room on your action bars, you
can use a focus macro. This is much simpler to use than the arena123
macro. Put an enemy on focus, and this macro will cast
Polymorph
on that player while you are still focused on your target.
Purify Spirit Party Macro
Purify Spirit Party Macro
Using this macro will cast
Purify Spirit on party player 1.
This makes it easier to dispel a teammate while healing the rest of your team.
If you want a macro to dispel the second party member, change the party1 to
party2.
Purge Focus Macro
Purge Focus Macro
This macro uses
Purge on any enemy you have as your focus target.
This is useful for Purging important buffs on one enemy while still targeting
the other. If you take
Greater Purge, replace 'Purge' with 'Greater
Purge.'
Earthgrab Cursor Macro
Cursor Earthgrab Totem Macro
This macro is great for quickly placing
Earthgrab Totem.
Instead of clicking it and placing you, the totem will be placed wherever
your cursor is.
Spirit Link Totem Cursor Macro
Spirit Link Totem Cursor Macro
This macro is great for quickly placing
Spirit Link Totem.
Instead of clicking it and placing you, the totem will be placed wherever
your cursor is.
