WoW Forever Macros

Adds spawning behind the raid need taunting yesterday. Mouseover-taunt lets you grab the add without changing your boss target (and losing your tank rotation position). Why mouseover: you stay on the boss the whole time — the add is grabbed by hovering, not targeting.

Sets your focus to the MT at the start of the raid, then this button snaps you onto whatever they're tanking and starts attacking. Why it matters: it eliminates the "I attacked the wrong target" problem entirely — your DPS always lands on the tank's current target, which is the correct kill order.

Raid DPS is measured in cooldown windows. This stacks your racial (+attack power/int), both trinkets, and a combat potion into one keypress so they overlap during the boss's damage window . Why overlap matters: multiplicative buffs stacked together produce dramatically more damage than using them spread out. One key = the whole burst.

Marks the kill target and announces it in raid chat in one press. The UnitName pull makes the call self-documenting — no "who's skull?" questions when the pull starts.

8 = Skull (kill first), 7 = X (kill second), 3 = Moon (CC), 4 = Triangle (trap). Marking targets mid-fight is the single biggest DPS-coordination tool in raiding. Bind three of these (Skull/X/Moon) to Q/E/R.

The built-in /readycheck pings every raid member for a Ready/Not-Ready popup. Why macro it? Because it belongs on the same key cluster as your pull macros — one hand runs the whole pull sequence without opening menus. Press it before every pull while trash is being cleared.

Combat rezzes are a limited raid resource. This targets a dead raid member by mouseover (or current dead target) and rezzes them instantly. Why: during a boss fight, the seconds a DPS spends dead are lost raid DPS; a dead tank is a wipe. The macro removes the "find the corpse in the raid frame" step.

Long boss fights are mana marathons. This combines your mana pot with your personal mana-regen CD. Why combine: you only have one potion per fight — timing it with your regen CD stretches both further. (Non-druids: swap the second line for your own regen tool, e.g. Mage's Evocation.)

The classic hunter threat control is pacing: use Bestial Wrath (talent) + pet attack timing instead of MD. Focus = the kill target, one key = pet burst + send-in. Hunters still do their biggest damage in the first 15 seconds (trap + opener burst) — use the window, watch threat.

Some bosses put curses on the raid that must be stripped on cooldown. Focus-based keeps the rotation automatic — you keep DPSing the boss and the cleanse happens with one key. Why focus: it's the same boss every time — why retarget it?

Raids assign healers to dispel duty (e.g. every 10s on a raid-wide debuff). Mouseover-first means you dispel whoever you're hovering (usually the tank or a raid frame) without dropping your heal target; focus catches the off-tank; self as last resort. Why priority chains: in a dispel rotation there's no time to retarget — the macro picks the right person for you.

The classic-era tank-save is a pre-cast Power Word: Shield on the tank you're assigned to protect — focus = tank, one key fires the bubble when the boss's big hit lands. Paladins use Blessing of Sacrifice, druids use Innervate→heal or pre-HoT Rejuvenation. The pattern holds: pre-assigned focus + one key = no target-switching during a 1-second tank-buster.

The tank-heal assist: target the boss, spam this, and you automatically heal the tank who has aggro. In single-tank fights this is faster than mouseover raid frames — zero targeting overhead. The fallback chain (mouseover → self) keeps it useful everywhere else.

Raids assign 2-3 interrupters to a boss cast (e.g. every 8s). Your focus = the boss, so this always interrupts the assigned target; mouseover catches adds; target is the fallback. Why: a missed interrupt on a raid boss = raid-wide damage or wipe. The chain guarantees your interrupt lands on the right cast every time.

Raids need specific curses up at all times (Elements for spell damage, Weakness for physical). One key keeps your assigned curse applied; shift swaps to the secondary. Why: curse uptime is a flat raid-DPS multiplier — a forgotten curse is lost damage every second it's down.

The oh-shit button for tanking: damage reduction + max-HP boost + defensive potion in one press. Why: raid bosses hit hard — a tank has ~2 seconds to react to a bad debuff stack. Three separate keys = death. One key = survival. (Every tank class has an equivalent: Shield Wall, Divine Shield, Frenzied Regeneration, Last Stand.)

Warriors in raid swap to a 2H for the sub-20% execute phase. This macro does the swap and fires Execute in one press. Why: boss fights have a defined execute window — every GCD you lose swapping gear manually is a GCD not spent executing. Bind it next to your Execute key.

In a tank swap, the off-tank must taunt the boss the instant the debuff lands. Focus = the boss, one key = instant taunt with zero target-switching. The mouseover fallback lets you grab loose adds (or the other tank's boss) by hovering. This is THE tank macro — it decides wipes vs. clean swaps.

A tank who loses aggro on pull wipes DPS. This builds a full 5-stack armor shred + threat instantly and auto-resets on target change — the pull opener is always correct, every time. Why sequence: it removes "which stack am I on?" from your brain during the chaotic first 10 seconds.
