Discipline Priest Healing Macros and Addons — Midnight (12.0.1)

We do highly suggest that all of your heals, as well as other spells that can be cast on raid members (such as Levitate, for preventing fall damage) be incorporated into mouseover macros. This will allow you to much more easily cast them on raid members. As an alternative to creating mouseover macros, you can use Clique.

Here is an example of a mouseover macro. Simply replace Power Word: Shield with the name of the spell you want to use:

This will cast Power Word: Shield on your mouseover target, if it is a friendly target and it is not dead. Otherwise, it will cast on your current target.

It is strongly recommended to keep the Offensive and Defensive Penance components separated. You can either use a macro with modifiers or use two separate keybinds with harm/help modifiers.

Harm Only:

Due to the way Penance works, when you try to queue another spell during its cast, you can accidentally interrupt the last bolt. To avoid this, apply the following conditional to specific spells, very often being Smite, that cause it the most for you. This works with any spell and not just smite. Smite is simply used as an example here.

This is a really handy macro that casts Angelic Feather under the player using the @player shorthand.

Grid2 is our recommended Addon for Raid frames, providing a massive amount of customization options as well as being incredibly performant. The largest downside of this Addon is the high barrier to entry as its not the simplest to learn, but very rewarding once you do so.

Alternatively, Cell is very similar to Grid2 in capabilities with a more intuitive interface and is very popular. Default Raid Frames provided by Blizzard can be ok but if you want to use them, we recommend utilizing Harrek's Advanced Raid Frames along side the default frames to enhance their functionality and customizability.
