1. Macros↑top

1.1. Generic Macros for Priests

1.1.1. Leap of Faith Mouseover Macro

• /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][] Leap of Faith

This macro will cast Leap of Faith on the target your are currentlymousing over, if it is a friendly target and not dead. Otherwise, it will castLeap of Faith on your current target.

1.2. Specific Macros for Discipline Priests

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

Here is an example of a mouseover macro. Simply replace Heal with thename of the spell you want to use:

• #showtooltip Heal
• /cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead][]Heal

This will cast Heal on your mouseover target, if it is a friendly target andit is not dead. Otherwise, it will cast heal on your current target.

1.2.1. Atonement Macros

To make it easier to deal damage to the boss and benefit from the Atonement healing, we recommend that you use the following macro for Penance, Holy Fire, and Smite.

• #showtooltip
• /cast [@focus,harm,nodead][harm] Spell

Spell will be replaced with the actual name of the spell.

The Penance macro should be on a different keybind from the normal, healingPenance.

A lightweight alternative to Recount is Skada Damage Meter.
