Holy Priest PvP Useful Macros — Midnight Season 1
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 Holy Priests can benefit from.
This page is part of our Holy Priest PvP Guide.
Holy Word: Chastise 123 Macro
Using this macro will use
Holy Word: Chastise on arena enemy 1.
This makes it easier to crowd control an enemy while healing your team.
If you want macros for the second and third enemies, simply change the arena1
to arena2 or arena3. You can reproduce this macro with
Mind Control.
Shadow Word: Death Macro
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.
Shackle Undead Macro
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.
Purify Party Macro
Using this macro will cast
Purify on party player 1.
This makes it easier to dispel a teammate while healing the rest of your team.
If you want a macro to dispel the second party member, change the party1 to
party2.
Dispel Magic Macro
This macro allows you to cast
Dispel Magic on your focus target
without having to target it.
Holy Fire Target of Target
This macro allows you to cast
Holy Fire 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
Smite.
Holy Word: Sanctify Macro
This macro allows you to drop your
Holy Word: Sanctify 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.
