Priest Focus Macros
Playing a priest in WoW is no easy task, but a few simple priest focus macros and traditional priest macros can dramatically improve your overall game play. Using these priest focus macros we’ll be able to consolidate and optimize multiple spells and abilities, once you have these mastered you should see a vast improvement in the fluidity of your game play.
If you’re looking for standard priest macros make sure to check out my compiled priest macro guide. Additionally, if you aren’t familiar with how to use / setup priest focus macros you should check out my complete focus macro guide.

Dispel Macro on Party Member by Number
/cast [target=party1] Dispel Magic
Will cast dispel on a specified party member. Simply change the numerical value for each party member. Note, I know this macro isn’t focus specific, but it is still along the same lines.
Dispel Macro on Target by Name
/cast [target=NAME] Dispel Magic
Will cast dispel on specified target. Change “NAME” to the name of the target you’d like to dispel, generally a team mate. Note, I know this macro isn’t focus specific, but it is still along the same lines.
Focus Damage Bomb with Mind Blast

Ideal for quick switches, particularly in arena, allowing you to continue to heal and switch to drop a bomb on a focus target with a single button click.
Focus Damage Bomb with Smite

/getfocused
/die
/requeue
Some macroz I yooz
Dispel your first party member (good for 2v2s without having to manually target them)
/cast [target=party1] Dispel Magic(Rank 2)
Same for member #2
/cast [target=party2] Dispel Magic(Rank 2)
Use any rank healthstone
#showtooltip Fel Healthstone
/use Fel Healthstone
not exactly a focus macro trust, but a good addition never the less, thanks. I added them to the above list.
/tar Cream
/cast PW:Shield[rankwhatever]
/target lasttarget()
It’s been a while, I’m not sure this still works or is the exact spelling, but worth a try. It shields yourself without losing your current target. I think this is doable with alt now, though. Been so long since I played my priest.
I almost always “tell” my target they have been buffed… how do I whisper to a focused target?
