Paladin Macros 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

Bubble Hearth

#show Hearthstone
/cast Divine Shield
/use Heartstone

You can use this as an easy spam aka “mashable” button to make bubble hearth escapes.

Judge and Seal Macros

/cast Judgement
/stopcasting
/cast Seal of Light

Just replace “seal of light” with what ever seal you are currently using.

Crusader Aura and Mount Macro

/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 Macro

/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.

Blessing Macros

/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

Divine Favor + Holy Light Macro

#show Divine Favor
/cast Divine Favor
/stopcasting
/cast Holy Light

Trinket + Holy Light Macro

#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 Holy Light Heal Macro

/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 Flash of Light Heal Macro

/assist
/cast Flash of Light

Same functionality as the previous macro, just for flash of lights.

Mouse Over Holy Light

/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.

Mouse Over Flash of Light

/cast [target=mouseover,exists] Flash of Light

Same functionality as above, just for flash of light.

Mouse Over Clenase

/cast [target=mouseover,exists] Cleanse

Same functionality as above, just for cleanse.

Battlegrounds Spam Healing Macro

/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

Auto Attack + Crusader Strike Macro

/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.

Judgement of Justice Macro

/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

Divine Shield Macro

/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.

Righteous Defense Taunt Macro

/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.
