Best Macros for Shadow Priest in Midnight
Generic Macros for Priests
Angelic Feather
Angelic Feather
This is a simple macro that will always cast
Angelic Feather at your
feet.
Angelic Feather +
Body and Soul
Movement All-in-One
This macro simply combines
Angelic Feather and
Power Word: Shield with
one macro, so you can easily use both with mostly the same keybind. This has
default press Power Word: Shield, or pressing the same keybind with Shift
casts Angelic Feather.
Movement Rotation
This is another version of a movement macro that lets you spam the button
over and over to cast the right movement spell, starting with
Power Word: Shield. If you are looking for something simpler and do not
want a mod:shift one, you can try this one out instead.
Power Infusion
Basic Power Infusion
When using
Twins of the Sun Priestess, this is a useful macro to
cast
Power Infusion on an ally to make sure your group gets the most out
of it.
You will need to manually type in the player you wish to give Power Infusion to,
but it should handle if the target is out of range of you to still cast it on
yourself. If you want to cast it on different players throughout an encounter
I would suggest replacing @INSERTPLAYERNAMEHERE with @mouseover and mousing
over the target you want to give it on for each cast.
If you are having issues with this sometimes not working correctly, you should try to avoid spamming the macro when you want to cast it. If you queue the macro as an action mid-cast of something else, it can short-circuit.
Advanced
Power Infusion Macro
If you find yourself editing the macro often to swap who you are giving
Power Infusion to, you can use the below combination of macros to make this
easier.
The first macro requires you to target the player you want to give
Power Infusion to. When clicking the macro, it will then update the
second macro with the name of the target, so you do not need to manually type it in.
Advanced Power Infusion
The second macro will be automatically edited and overwritten when clicking the first macro. If you want to change anything in this macro, you must change it in the first one. You MUST name this second macro PI in order for it to work properly.
This macro will be the one you actually end up binding to your bars
and pressing. It will cast
Power Infusion on your mouseover
if it exists and is alive, then the Player you selected with the first macro,
and finally yourself if the first two conditions failed. It will also use your
trinket in the top slot, if you want to use the trinket in the bottom slot
instead, change it from 13 to 14 on the last line.
Power Infusion + First Trinket
All in one Dispel Macro
Dispel All-in-One
This gives you one button in-game that handles all of your dispel needs across the Priest specs.
Alt is used for
Mass Dispel; if the target is an enemy, it uses
Dispel Magic, and
the default case is either
Purify Disease or
Purify.
If you are just looking for a simple mouseover for one of these, you can use this instead:
Purify Disease Mouseover
Simple
Mass Dispel Cursor Macro:
Mass Dispel Cursor
Shackle Horror Macro
Shackle Horror Mouseover
This is a simple mouseover macro for
Shackle Horror that can be
useful in certain Mythic+ situations.
Mind Control Macro
This macro offers a one-button solution for either
Mind Control or
Dominate Mind.
Clicking it without an active pet will cast either spell on your current target. If you have an active
pet Mind Controlled, it will instead dismiss it.
Mind Control
Macros for Shadow Priests
No-Cancel Stop Casting
If you find yourself spamming your buttons too quickly and cancelling
important spells like
Void Torrent you can adjust your spells like so.
Mind Blast
With these kinds of macros, it will only cast
Mind Blast
if you are not channeling
Void Torrent. This can be useful if you
like to spam your buttons.
Silence
Focus Silence
This is a basic macro I would suggest to anyone playing a spec with a kick. It prioritizes kicking your focus target and then defaults to your current target if you do not have a focus. You can also add mod:shift as an extra conditional if you only want to kick your focus target with a keybind used.
Mind Flay Camera Spin
Camera Spin
This is not a macro, but a console command that will prevent
Mind Flay from spinning your camera when it channels. This can be very
helpful for players who find the camera interference annoying.
Mouseover Macro for DoTs
SW:P Mouseover
VT Mouseover
These macros cast
Shadow Word: Pain and
Vampiric Touch at your
current mouseover target without having to target their nameplate directly.
This is particularly useful in multi-DoT situations in council boss
scenarios.
