Paladin Macro Guide
Playing a healer in world of warcraft is no easy task, but having a few well placed paladin macros can make your life a whole lot easier. You don’t have to have scores of paladin macros to make a big difference either, a few simple lines of script can really improve your game and your overall ability as a player.

General Paladin Macros
#show Hearthstone
/cast Divine Shield
/use Heartstone
You can use this as an easy spam aka “mashable” button to make bubble hearth escapes.
/cast Judgement
/stopcasting
/cast Seal of Light
Just replace “seal of light” with what ever seal you are currently using.
/castsequence !Crusader Aura, Summon Charger
You can also change “summon charger” to the name of any mount if you would like to use a different one. Requires 2 clicks.
Crusader Aura and Flying Mount
/castsequence !Crusader Aura, Merciless Nether Drake
Same functionality as the previous macro except for your flying mount. Change “merciless nether drake” to the name of your desired flying mount. Requires 2 clicks.
/cast [modifier:shift] Greater Blessing of Might; Blessing of Might
Simple press the key + shift for a greater blessing or just a regular key press for a single target. Change “blessing of might” to each of desired blessings (wisdom, salvation, etc.).
Holy Paladin Macros
#show Divine Favor
/cast Divine Favor
/stopcasting
/cast Holy Light
#show Holy Light
/use 13
/cast Holy Light
In macro speak the number 13 is your top trinket slot (14 is the bottom trinket), so long as your healing trinket is in that slot then you’re good to go!
/assist
/cast Holy Light
Great macro to have while doing trash, simply target the mobs you are killing and press this macro. It will assist the boss and target the target they are currently attacking.
/assist
/cast Flash of Light
Same functionality as the previous macro, just for flash of lights.
/cast [target=mouseover,exists] Holy Light
Excellent macro for raiders. This will allow you to heal by just mousing over a target player or by mousing over their raid frame. I absolutely love this macro on my shaman.
/cast [target=mouseover,exists] Flash of Light
Same functionality as above, just for flash of light.
/cast [target=mouseover,exists] Cleanse
Same functionality as above, just for cleanse.
/targetfriend [nodead]
/cast [nodead] Flash of Light
This macro will automatically target friendly players near you and cast flash of light, great for battlegrounds like AV where there are so many players around you can’t always immediately tell who is taking damage.
Pretty basic macro that casts divine favor immediatly before your heal. You could change “holy light” to another healing spell, such as flash of light or even holy shock.
Retribution Paladin Macros
/startattack
/cast Crusader Strike
Starts your auto attack in the event your crusader strike is on cool down, a very nice mashable auto attack buttons for retribution paladins.
/cast Seal of Justice
/cast Judgement
One button to stop those kiting classes in arena or PvP. Is also useful for some very specific raid encounters where getting a quick judgement of justice is an issue.
Protection Paladin Macros
/cancelaura Divine Shield
/cast Divine Shield
Simple macro that allows you to cast bubble to cleanse various debuffs and immediately cancel it so you can begin tanking again.
/cast [help] Righteous Defense; [target=targettarget] Righteous Defense
Turns your righteous defense into a more typical taunt style macro. This macro will assist the boss (which presumably is what you want to righteously defend) and cast righteous defense on that target. Much easier to tab and pull.
#showtooltip
/startattack
/castsequence [mod:alt] Hammer of the Righteous; reset=3 Hammer of the Righteous,
Judgement, Hammer of the Righteous, Avenger’s Shield, Hammer of the Righteous, Shield of the
Righteous
This is a 2 button macro to spam while tanking. First, always spam this while Grand Crusader procs.
#showtooltip
/startattack
/castsequence [mod:alt] Holy Wrath; reset=15 Holy Wrath, Hammer of the Righteous,
Consecration
Then, this next macro is to be used when your Grand Crusader does not proc and your Avenger’s Shield is on cooldown.
