WotLK Classic Guide to Druid's Best Macros

While this is not an exhaustive list of all possible / useful macros, we will be exemplifying almost all macro functionalities below. Use these templates as an example and replace their spells with the ones you feel will be most useful to you, personally.

• #showtooltip
• /cast [swimming] !Aquatic Form;[outdoors] !Travel Form; !Cat Form

This is a great macro that is a one-button Travel Form. It will put you into either Travel Form, Aquatic Form, or Cat Form depending on if you are outdoors, in water, or elsewhere.

• #showtooltip Regrowth
• /cast [@mouseover,exists,help][@player] Regrowth

Especially as a healer, some people find it easier to cast healing spells by mousing over their intended target on their raid frame, rather than clicking and actually targeting them.

This saves time and will allow you to keep an enemy targeted, which can be useful in raids to track casts. For other spells, just replace "Regrowth" in the "/cast" line of macro.

• #showtooltip Cyclone
• /stopcasting
• /cast [@focus] Cyclone

Sometimes, you really want to get a spell out as soon as possible, such as when using Cyclone on an enemy to stop a cast or peel for your allies. For these cases, it is very useful to have a /stopcasting macro, ensuring that your current cast does not interfere with the timing of your interrupt.

By adding the modifier [@focus] you can cast at your focus target instead, which can be useful when targeting a different player for damage purposes.

• #showtooltip Cyclone
• /stopcasting
• /cast [@arena1] Cyclone

For 3v3 Arena players, you can use @arena1, @arena2, and @arena3 as a modifier on your macros to cast your spells at those players, in the order they appear on your Arena frames. This allows you to quickly react with your interrupts and crowd control without targeting or focus requirements.

We only recommend this kind of macro for 3v3 because focus and regular targeting should be enough for 2v2, and 5v5 would require too many keybinds if you wanted to be able to target the full enemy team.

• #showtooltip
• /run if IsSpellInRange("Moonfire","target")==1 then C_Timer.After(0.001,Dismount) end
• /stopmacro [flying]
• /cast Moonfire

Engaging an enemy with an instant spell used inside a simple auto-dismount macro while flying will cause it to instantly evade instead of being engaged. You can instead spam press this macro to dismount and immediately use your spell, as long as enemy is in range.

• /cast [nostealth] Rake; [stealth] Pounce

This puts both Rake and Pounce into the same bind, so you do not need two separate buttons, depending on if you are in stealth or not. You can modify this with any two abilities for when you are and are not stealthed.

• #showtooltip Prowl
• /cast [noform:3] Cat Form
• /cast !Prowl

This macro will allow you to quickly go into Cat Form to use Prowl from any form with just one button.

• #showtooltip
• /cast [nomod,stance:1] Mangle (Bear)
• /cast [nomod,stance:3] Mangle (Cat)
• /cast [nomod,nostance] Cat Form

This macro allows you to use Mangle with a single button, no matter what your form is. It will also put you into Cat Form if you are not in a form yet.

• #showtooltip Dash
• /cast [noform:3] Cat Form
• /cast !Dash

This macro will allow you to quickly go into Cat Form to use Dash from any form with just one button.

• #showtooltip
• /cast [nomod,stance:1] Faerie Fire (Feral)
• /cast [nomod,stance:3] Faerie Fire (Feral)
• /cast Faerie Fire

Mostly useful if you use different specs often, this macro will allow you to use Faerie Fire (Feral) when in a form and the regular Faerie Fire, otherwise.

Macros are very important in making your character play as smoothly as possible, but so do addons, for which reason we recommend that you also read our Druid Addons page.
