Basic wait macro
As of recently you can even utilize the wait command in macros.
say Attacking %t in 5 seconds. #show "Fragmentation Bomb" wait 5 cast @mouseover Fragmentation Bomb
This macro will cast “Fragmentation Bomb” on your mouseover target after a delay of 5 seconds.
Mouse over healing
This macro is especially useful in all kinds of situations, be it rifts, dungeons or PvP.
#show Basic Heal stopcasting cast [ctrl] @mouseover Heal Over Time cast [ctrl] Heal Over Time cast [alt] @mouseover Big Heal cast [alt] Big Heal cast @mouseover Basic Heal cast Basic Heal
Be sure to replace the ability names with names of actual abilities
Here’s how it works: you need to place your mouse over the target you want to heal. By pressing the macro without a modifier key you’ll cast “Basic Heal” on it; if you hold CTRL key while casting you will cast “Heal Over Time”, and if you hold the ALT key you will cast your “Big Heal” spell.
Very useful as it allows you to have three different healing spells in just one macro.
Crowd control notification
The following macro will tell in party chat the name of the target (%T) you’re casting Transmorgify spell on. Since the crowd control will break upon the target receiving damage it’s a very useful macro to ensure none of your group members damage it accidentally.
party I am Squirreling the target %T, do not attack it! cast Transmorgify
Assisting main tank macro
The following macro is useful for assisting your main tank.
target "name" assist cast "name of your usual starting skill"
