Shadow Priest PvP Useful Macros — 12.0.5
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 Shadow Priests can benefit from.
This page is part of our Shadow Priest PvP Guide.
Silence 123 Macro
Using this macro will cast 
Silence 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.
Silence Focus 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 use Silence
on that player while you are still focused on your target.
Leap of Faith Party Member Macro
This macro will use 
Leap of Faith on whichever player you put
in the macro. It is recommended that you make a macro for both of your arena
partners.
Dispel Magic Macro
This macro will use 
Dispel Magic on the target you have set to
Focus. This will make it easier to use without having to manually target
who you want to Dispel Magic.
