WoW Forever macros: what they are, how to make them and the most useful ones per class

If you're coming from another game or this is your first time in WoW, you'll hear a lot about "macros". They aren't cheats or outside programs: they're buttons you make yourself, inside the game, so one press does what would normally take two or three. This guide explains what they are, how to create them and what each piece means, and every class page has the most useful ones ready to copy.

What a macro is

A macro is text with one or more commands that the game runs when you press a button. The most common command is /cast, which casts a spell; what goes in square brackets decides on whom.

An example: a priest who wants to heal a teammate normally has to click them, cast the heal and click back to their target. With this macro, you just hover over the teammate and press the button:

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][] Renew

Macros don't decide for you: they do exactly what you wrote, the same way every time. Blizzard has brought the modern game's restrictions to Forever so addons can't make decisions in combat; the macros in this guide don't read anything from combat, they only choose who the spell goes to.

How to make a macro

1. Type /macro in chat, or open the menu (Esc) and go to Macros.
2. Pick the tab: general (shared by all your characters) or character-specific (only that one). Class macros are best in the character tab.
3. Click New, give it a name and choose the question mark icon: with #showtooltip on the first line, the game shows the spell's icon by itself.
4. Paste the macro text into the box and close.
5. Drag it to your action bar like any spell.

The detail that trips people up: language

The spell name must be in your game's language and spelled exactly. If you play in English it's /cast Polymorph; in the Spanish client it has to be /cast Polimorfia. That's why every macro on wow4ever uses spell names taken from the Forever client, not our own translations. Commands (/cast, /startattack…) are always written in English.

What each piece means

Those pieces cover almost every useful macro. The best known is the mouseover one (@mouseover), used above all by healers; the second is the focus one (@focus), to interrupt or crowd-control an enemy without losing your target.

Macros for each class

Each class page has between 30 and 40 macros ready to copy, grouped by type (stances and forms, interrupts, crowd control, healing…) and by level (basic, intermediate and advanced, with weapon and shield swaps, trinkets and party targeting). To build your own, use the macro builder; with what each one does and from which level it works:

• Warrior: charge and attack, stance switching, focus interrupt, mouseover taunt.
• Paladin: mouseover heals and Purify, blessings, focus Hammer of Justice.
• Hunter: Auto Shot with your pet, Hunter's Mark, one button for your pet.
• Rogue: Stealth and Sap, focus Kick, Distract where you aim.
• Priest: mouseover shield, Renew, Dispel Magic and Resurrection.
• Shaman: mouseover Healing Wave, focus Earth Shock, two totems on one button.
• Mage: focus Polymorph and Counterspell, Arcane Intellect, conjure water and food.
• Warlock: focus Fear, mouseover Corruption, Banish.
• Druid: heals that drop your form, focus Entangling Roots, Growl.

Every macro, ready to copy

The same ones as on each class page, with spell names exactly as the English client has them. Paste the whole block into a new macro. The level is when you learn the spell it needs.

Warrior

Stances, forms and aspects

Spearing Strike in Battle Stance (Intermediate · from level 1). Spearing Strike needs Battle Stance (Blizzard, 1 October). Use it on giants, dragonkin and mounted enemies, where it hits much harder.

#showtooltip Spearing Strike
/startattack
/cast [nostance:1] Battle Stance; Spearing Strike

Switch to Battle Stance and charge (Intermediate · from level 4). If you're not in Battle Stance, the first press switches to it and the second one charges. With Tactical Mastery (level 14) you keep some rage when you switch.

#showtooltip Charge
/cast [nostance:1] Battle Stance; Charge

Charge from Defensive Stance (Vanguard) (Intermediate · from level 4). Needs the Vanguard talent, which lets you Charge in Defensive Stance: it only pulls you out of Berserker, so a tank goes in without changing stance.

#showtooltip Charge
/startattack
/cast [stance:3] Battle Stance; Charge

Rend without leaving the fight (Intermediate · from level 4). Rend can't be used in Berserker Stance in Classic: from there it puts you in Battle Stance; in Battle or Defensive it casts straight away.

#showtooltip Rend
/startattack
/cast [stance:3] Battle Stance; Rend

Thunder Clap in Battle or Defensive (Intermediate · from level 6). In Forever, Thunder Clap also works in Defensive Stance (up to 4 targets). It only changes your stance if you're in Berserker.

#showtooltip Thunder Clap
/cast [stance:3] Battle Stance; Thunder Clap

Taunt whatever is under your mouse (Intermediate · from level 10). Pull back an enemy that went for someone else without leaving your target; if you're not in Defensive Stance, the first press switches to it.

#showtooltip Taunt

Overpower from any stance (Intermediate · from level 12). When the enemy dodges, it puts you in Battle Stance and the second press fires Overpower. Battle Stance only in Classic; nothing published says Forever changed it. Tactical Mastery keeps part of your rage.

#showtooltip Overpower
/startattack
/cast [nostance:1] Battle Stance; Overpower

Revenge, switching to Defensive if needed (Intermediate · from level 14). After a block, dodge or parry: puts you in Defensive Stance, then casts Revenge. Defensive only in Classic; nothing published says Forever changed it.

Execute from any stance (Intermediate · from level 24). Execute doesn't work in Defensive Stance in Classic (it does in Battle and Berserker). From Defensive it switches you to Battle and finishes on the next press; in the other two it just finishes.

#showtooltip Execute
/startattack
/cast [stance:2] Battle Stance; Execute

Intercept from any stance (Intermediate · from level 30). Puts you in Berserker Stance and charges mid-combat, when Charge no longer works. Berserker only in Classic; nothing published says Forever changed it. Hold Shift to Bloodrage first for the rage.

Assist the tank (focus) and Moonfire (Advanced · from level 4). Set the tank as your focus: the macro takes the tank's target and casts Moonfire on it, so you always hit what the tank hits. Without a focus it uses your target.

#showtooltip Moonfire
/assist [@focus,help,exists]
/cast [harm,nodead] Moonfire

Faerie Fire on mouseover (Basic · from level 18). Lowers armour and stops stealth on whoever is under your mouse. In Forever it also works in bear or cat, at no cost.

#showtooltip Faerie Fire
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Faerie Fire

Wrath, or Starfire with Shift (Intermediate · from level 20). Both ranged nukes on one button: Wrath as filler and the slow, heavy Starfire with Shift to open from range.

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Starfire; Wrath

Trinkets and Starfire on mouseover (Advanced · from level 20). Before the slow, heavy nuke, fires both trinkets (slots 13 and 14) and casts Starfire at your mouseover or your target.

#showtooltip Starfire
/use 13
/use 14
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Starfire

Hurricane at your cursor (Basic · from level 40). Drops the storm right where you point, skipping the targeting circle. In Forever it has no cooldown.

#showtooltip Hurricane
/cast [@cursor] Hurricane

Interrupts

Bash on target, or focus with Shift (Intermediate · from level 14). A stun stops the cast. With Shift it goes to your focus, to stop the caster without dropping what you're tanking. Shifts you into Bear Form if needed.

#showtooltip Bash
/cast [nostance:1] Bear Form; [mod:shift,@focus,harm,nodead][] Bash

Feral Charge on mouseover or target (Intermediate · from level 20). Shifts you into Bear Form if needed and charges: roots the enemy and interrupts its cast for 4 s. Needs the Feral Charge talent; the client says it requires Bear Form.

Crowd control

Entangling Roots on focus or mouseover (Basic · from level 8). Roots your focus (or whoever is under your mouse) without switching targets. In Forever it also works indoors.

#showtooltip Entangling Roots
/cast [@focus,harm,nodead][@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Entangling Roots

Hibernate on focus or mouseover (Basic · from level 18). Sleeps a beast or dragonkin you set as focus and re-sleeps it when it wakes, keeping your target. Only one at a time.

#showtooltip Hibernate
/cast [@focus,harm,nodead][@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Hibernate

Defense and survival

Re-enter Cat Form (break snares) (Intermediate · from level 20). Drops your form and re-enters Cat Form in one press: shapeshifting frees you from movement-impairing effects and polymorph. Handy against snares and roots.

/cast !Cat Form
/cast Cower

Healing and support

Healing Touch on mouseover, leaving your form (Intermediate · from level 1). Drops whatever form you're in and heals whoever is under your mouse; with Alt, yourself. Moonkin Form can't heal, so you need to leave it.

Mark of the Wild on mouseover or yourself (Basic · from level 1). Buffs whoever is under your mouse; if nobody, yourself.

#showtooltip Mark of the Wild
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][@player] Mark of the Wild

Healing Touch with your healing weapon (Advanced · from level 1). Put your healing weapon in button 12 of the right action bar (MultiBarRightButton12): the macro leaves your form, equips it and heals your mouseover, your target or yourself with Alt. Weapon swaps work in combat but cost a moment.

What we don't know yet in Forever

Forever runs the modern game's macro system underneath, not Classic's. The macros in this guide use that syntax, which has already been seen working in the beta (in Warcraft Tavern's hunter guide, for example). Some things aren't confirmed yet:

• Casting a specific spell rank, the way Classic did with (Rank 1). The modern game doesn't allow it without addons, and nobody has confirmed it for Forever.
• The character limit and the number of macros. In the modern game a macro holds 255 characters; there's no official figure for Forever.
• A beta bug: in late September some players reported on the official forums that they couldn't save new macros.

We haven't tested these macros one by one in the beta yet. When the game launches we will, and we'll mark the tested ones; if one fails for you before then, tell us on the board.

Frequently asked questions

What is a macro in WoW?

A button you make inside the game with one or more commands, such as casting a spell on whoever is under your mouse. It isn't an outside program and it isn't against the rules.

How do you make a macro in WoW Forever?

Type /macro in chat (or Esc > Macros), click New, name it, pick the question mark icon, paste the text and drag the macro to your bar.

Do macros go in English or in my game's language?

Commands (/cast, /startattack…) in English, but spell names in your game's language and spelled exactly: in the Spanish client, "Polimorfia", not "Polymorph".

What does @mouseover mean in a macro?

That the spell goes to whatever is under your mouse, even if it isn't your target. It's the macro healers use most, to heal from the party frames.

How do you make a mouseover macro?

Put [@mouseover,help,nodead] in front of the spell and leave [] after it so that, if there is nobody under your mouse, it goes to your target. To heal from the party frames as a priest: #showtooltip Flash Heal and on the next line /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][] Flash Heal. For an attack spell, swap help for harm. Spell names go in your client's language.

Which macro commands work in WoW Forever?

The ones from the current game, which have been seen working in the beta: #showtooltip, /cast, /use, /castsequence, /startattack, /stopattack, /stopcasting, /cancelaura, /cancelform, /target, /focus, /assist, /petattack, /petfollow, /click and /stopmacro, with conditions such as @mouseover, @focus, @player, @cursor, help, harm, mod:shift, stance:N or worn:. Whatever Blizzard hasn't confirmed is under "What we don't know yet in Forever". If you'd rather not type them, use the macro builder.
