Macro Version 1
Step Function: SequentialMain Sequence:
KeyRelease: Contains various utility functions.
These macros will do what Shadow Priests do best: Bring the truths of the Void to the masses…by force.
The Single Target (up to 3) macro will attempt to frontload your DPS by opening with a charge of Shadow Word: Void, Vampiric Touch, and Shadow Word: Pain before rolling along with the rest of your kit. It’s currently tuned to use the talent Shadow Word: Void as your timer, casting a few charges of this before refreshing your dots, hopefully keeping them from dropping from your target automatically. If you are moving too much, or find your dots falling off too regularly, remove one of the SW:Void casts from the castsequence.
The AoE (4 or more) macro drops Mind Blast and replaces Mind Sear with Mind Flay. It will still dot up your targets as you tab through them, but it won’t refresh them. This is to ensure you are tab-targetting through your AoE trash.
The third Healing macro is for healing yourself or an ally. It will cast Power Word: Shield, Vampiric Embrace, and Shadow Mend. It’s very mana-intensive, so only use as a last resort. It will follow the same logic as my Disc heals macro, whereas if you are not targetting anything it will cast on yourself, if you mouseover someone friendly that will be your target, and you can focus or directly target allies as well.
Macro Notes
This macro uses talent choices that are designed to work best in all situations. I have chosen ones that will maximize your DPS in both ST and AoE situations.
This macro was tuned spamming 20 times a second, or 50ms.
Talents and Explanation
Shadow Word: Void - Front loading with a charge of SW:Void not only will help get us on to the DPS meters right away, it will also contribute a lot of Insanity and get us into Voidform as soon as possible. The macro also uses this talent for dot timing. This is fortunate since it’s the preferred talent for all high-end content.
Body and Soul - Mobility is a bit disappointing for us right now. Body and Soul at least let us move around a bit faster with each Power Word: Shield we cast on ourselves. The others can’t be counted on.
Twist of Fate - This is the only talent in this tier that truly benefits both ST and AoE damage. A powerful boost to DPS to help power enemies down once they fall below 35%. Since this applies to any enemy damaged by our skills this effect will trigger in all fights, and the longer an enemy stays in the lower third of their health the more DPS we will do.
(Your Choice) - Your choice here, but the macro will make use of Psychic Horror on ALT. I feel that the other talents just don’t offer enough.
Auspicious Spirits - Adding damage passively is highly recommended so we’re not wasting time positioning, selecting, or targetting special skills. Beyond that, crit is now found far more often on gear we’d wear which makes this talent pull ahead in most situations.
Lingering Insanity - Technically, Lingering Insanity or Mindbender will deliver just about the same DPS over the length of a 3-minute fight. However, in fights any degree less than that and LI will bring in more, assuming we’re able to get double-digit VF stacks. Mindbender is also a ST talent and does not benefit from most of your buffs, making LI more versatile.
Legacy of the Void - In all but super-short fights Legacy is the clear winner for all fight situations. We enter Voidform faster, do more damage in it, and get back to VF faster when we drop.
Known Issues
- If your dots are dropping with the ST macro, consider your movement before modifying the macro. If you are refreshing dots too soon, add a casting of Shadow Word: Void to the castsequence.
- In rare cases, Vampiric Touch will get stuck casting in a loop. This is a game engine issue and not something that can be fixed by a macro. But I have tried to reduce it as much as I can. If you see this happening, simply stop casting and start again.
DPS Numbers
In most cases, it doesn’t help anyone to tell you straight numbers. Instead, sim your character and compare. Right now, this macro is within 98% of sims.
