Classic Guide to Paladins' 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 Consecration
• /cast Consecration(rank 2)
• /cast [mod:shift] Consecration(rank 1)

Downranking spells to conserve Mana is an important part of your normal gameplay. These macros can help you manage and remember what binds you use to downrank spells since they allow you to assign different ranks to the same keybind with a different modifier while saving action bar space.

• #showtooltip Hammer of Justice
• /stopcasting
• /cast Hammer of Justice

Hammer of Justice is a critically important ability in PvP, and sometimes will need to be cast at a moment's notice. By default, if you are casting something else like a Holy Light and try to use Hammer of Justice, it will queue the Hammer for after the Holy Light. This macro ensures that you stop whatever you are doing to immediately use Hammer of Justice, ensuring that it is never delayed when you need it most.

• #showtooltip Holy Light
• /cast [@mouseover,exists,help][@player] Holy Light(Rank 4)

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 targeting them. This saves time and will allow you to keep an enemy targeted, which can be useful in raids to track casts.

• #showtooltip Blessing of Freedom
• /cast [@mouseover,exists,help][@player] Blessing of Freedom

Same concept as the above healing macros, but utility spells often need to be cast very quickly on other players. Being able to mouse over players to use spells like Blessing of Freedom and Blessing of Protection is critical.

• /cancelaura Divine Shield
• /cancelaura Blessing of Protection

Often you will find that using your immunities for their full duration is a waste. Maybe you just wanted to remove a debuff or maybe you just wanted to block a specific spell. Afterwards, it will be a damage loss to keep it active, meaning it is better to just remove it quickly. Add this line of code to another macro of your choice, or as a new macro, and hitting it will cancel your immunities if they are active.

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 Paladin Addons page.
