Discipline Priest PvP Useful Macros — The War Within (11.0.7)
Macros are crucial to be successful in PvP. They allow players to use abilities on enemies without having to target them. This helps increase overall damage/healing and general awareness in the arena. Here are a few macros that all Discipline Priests can benefit from.
This page is part of our Discipline Priest PvP Guide.
Shadow Word: Death Macro
- #showtooltip Shadow Word: Death
- /stopcasting
- /cast [@target,harm] Shadow Word: Death
- /stopmacro [harm]
- /targetenemy
- /cast Shadow Word: Death
- /targetlasttarget [harm]
This macro allows you to use Shadow Word: Death both to avoid incoming
crowd control and to deal damage with only one keybind. If you target an enemy,
the macro will simply use Shadow Word: Death on the enemy. This is what you want
to deal damage and also to avoid CC. And if you target an ally the macro will
target a nearby enemy to use the ability on. That way you can quickly press this
macro when healing an ally if you notice a spell such as
Polymorph
being cast on you, and you will death it.
Power Word: Barrier Macro
- #showtooltip Power Word: Barrier
- /cast [@cursor] Power Word: Barrier
This macro allows you to drop your Power Word: Barrier on your cursor
location without having to click it, allowing you to be faster. Make sure you
are well aware of the range and radius of your spell before you stat using this
macro.
Purify Macro
- #showtooltip Purify
- /cast [target=party1] Purify
This macro allows you to cast Purify on your party1 without having
to target it, for a quicker dispel. You can reproduce this with party2 when you
play 3v3 and have two people on your team.
Void Shift Macro
- #showtooltip Void Shift
- /cast [target=party1] Void Shift
This macro allows you to cast Void Shift on your party1 without
targeting it, as it is meant to be a spell you must press very quickly when
nothing else will save your ally fast enough. You can reproduce this with party2
when you play 3v3 and have two people on your team.
Target Assist Macros
- #showtooltip Solace
- /cast [harm][@targettarget] Solace
This macro allows you to cast Power Word: Solace on the target of any
ally you are targeting yourself without targeting the enemy. Such a macro
allows you to keep doing your damage rotation without having to switch targets
between your DPS and their kill target. You can reproduce this macro with
Penance,
Mind Blast,
Smite, and
Purge the Wicked.
Dispel Magic Macro
- #showtooltip Dispel Magic
- /cast [target=focus] Dispel Magic
This macro allows you to cast Dispel Magic on your focus target
without having to target it.
Mind Control Macro
- #showtooltip Mind Control
- /cast [target=focus] Mind Control
This macro allows you to cast Mind Control on your focus target
without having to target it.
Shackle Undead Macro
- #showtooltip Shackle Undead
- /cast [@arenapet1, exists] shackle undead
- /cast [@arenapet2, exists] shackle undead
- /cast [@arenapet3, exists] shackle undead
This very handy macro allows you to cast Shackle Undead on the
Undead pet of a Hunter without having to target it, regardless of
whether the Hunter is Arena1, Arena2, or Arena3. You simply need to use it and
if there is an Undead pet it will be controlled. This is helpful to easily
deny
Roar of Sacrifice when your team is about to do a go. Make sure to
have a separate Shackle Undead keybind to crowd control a Death Knight
who uses
Lichborne.
