Smite Spec Priest Macros

[pinotnoir]

I use smite spec for my Priest 4 Blood DK team. It's pretty nice in heroic and I use it in BH25 man with my guild. This is a two step macro.


Step One - Main DPS Spam Button - I have it click my Right Button 10 which is the third square from the bottom on the first bar on your right side of the screen.

/stopmacro [channeling]
/click MultiBarRightButton10
/castsequence [target=targettarget] prayer of mending
/cast power infusion
/use 13
/use 14
/use 16

Multibar Right Button Macro - You can put a # on the holy fire if you want. I use it in 5 mans because of the Glyph of Smite which does 20% more damage to targets inflicted with holy fire. I disable this in BH25.

/stopmacro [channeling]
/cast holy fire
/cast archangel


Step Two - This is setup so I can cast a hymn without interruption from spamming my dps button.

/stopmacro [channeling]
/cast smite

I thought I would add my macro for critique:

Step 1:
/stopmacro [channeling] #avoid interupting a manual hymn (typically)
/stopmacro [@mouseover, exists,help] #stops the macro if I am manually targeting
/cast [@tank,exists,nodead] Power Word: Shield

Step 2:
/stopmacro [channeling]
/stopmacro [@mouseover, exists,help]
/cast [@tank,exists,nodead] Prayer Of Mending

Step 3:
/stopmacro [channeling]
/stopmacro [@mouseover, exists,help]
/cast [harm] Holy Fire (4.1 will greatly improve HF so I have it in now)

Step 4:
/stopmacro [channeling]
/stopmacro [@mouseover, exists,help]
/cast [harm] Smite
/cast Archangel
/cast Power Infustion
/use 13
/use 14

This essentially keeps Power Word Shield, Prayer of Mending on the Tank when the cooldown / debuff is ready. This also keeps Holy Fire on the target on cooldown and simply smites any other time

I then use ISBoxer regions when I mouse over a target to issue a command of /stopcasting and since each macro has a condition to check if a mouseover exists I enter full manual healing mode.

[pinotnoir]

I may try that mouse over in my macro. I run 4 blood dk's so I dont really have a tank. I through manual shields out but that stopcasting mouse over looks like it would be a good way to keep my priest from casting as I spam the dps button. Can you tell me more about how it works? Will it work if I mouse over my grid layout? Or does it only work over the default party GUI?

[Fishbeak]

I would be happy to explain;

I use grid and the isboxer repeater regions (sorry I am at work I forget the true name).

When you setup the repeater region you can set a macro to execute on enter. I set the macro to be executed to my stopcasting macro and I set the target of the macro to my priest only (keep thos dpsers dpsing). I am then in full manual mode and I heal as needed.

Once the mouse leaves the repeater region I am back on automatic mode.

I will try and make a video tonight that demostrates the actions.

Ok, here is the terribad video of the priest.

Notice the priest starts in auto heal mode (druid gets shield and prom) then i mouse over the grid and immediately the priest stops. I demonstrate the dps keep going as I am mashing the dps macro. Once I move off of the grid then the priest starts to auto heal again.

My /stopcasting macro is two step

Step 1:
a. wow macro with nothing but /stopcasting
b. I disable my priests auto heal keymap

Step 2:
a. I enable the priest auto heal keymap

Let me know if you have any questions ... here is the vid link (don't laugh too hard)

This idea is brilliant. What a great way to compromise between the ease of the macroed healing and flexibility of full manual! You're my new hero for a day
