🚀 AutoSpec: Getting Started

    Your essential setup guide: install addons, configure your mouse, bind modifier keys, and import GSE sequences and WeakAuras.

📈 What Sets AutoSpec Apart

AutoSpec Is Not Just Another Damage Macro

    AutoSpec is a complete replacement for Blizzard’s standard combat experience, built from the ground up. Where most WLM posts offer basic GSE sequences focused only on damage, AutoSpec handles all your class and specialization abilities with custom sequences, a fully integrated WeakAura user interface, and real-time detection triggers for every situation.

Next-Level Optimization

    Instead of leaving you with a static macro and no dynamic feedback, AutoSpec uses responsive triggers and custom HUD elements to provide clear, on-screen guidance exactly when you need it.

    It replaces the standard UI and rotation guesswork with an adaptive combat engine—offering a smarter, cleaner, and more interactive way to play than anything else on WLM. Every detail, from live automation logic to in-game prompts and event-based triggers, is hand-built and maintained with a game developer’s mindset.

🔍 Preview & Guide

⏹️ Center Display

    The Center Display contains everything you need to see for core combat decisions, organized by priority:

1. Priority Display: Urgent abilities like defensives or major heals that override everything else.
2. Core Abilities: Your main rotation and combat logic, visible when nothing urgent is active.
3. Progress Bars: Shows active buffs, defensives, or movement effects you need to keep track of—always displays the most important bar.

⬇️ Action Button

    Shows you when to use interrupts or key cooldowns that aren’t part of your main attack sequence.

⬅️ (💎 AutoSpec +) Global Utility HUD

    Started as a slot for general, non-spec-specific abilities—now includes raid buffs, racials, trinkets, and resurrection spells used to support the group.

➡️ (💎 AutoSpec +) Conditional Utility HUD

    Displays only when a support ability (cleanse, dispel, save, focus-cast) must be used—if it appears, you’re expected to press it.

↔️ (💎 AutoSpec +) Situational Utility HUD

    Appears only when relevant—glows when crowd control, interrupts, or utility actions are suggested. Designed for situational tools you need to react to enemy abilities or specific scenarios.

HUD shown expanded for reference—actual gameplay uses a smaller, minimalist display.

Guardian: Growls, absorbs, and naps on command.

📝 Ability Overview

Ability	Description
Bear Form	Used as default stance in group content.
Cat Form	Default out-of-combat stance in solo content for its movement speed bonus and access to Prowl.
Ironfur	May fall off when testing on a dummy due to missing passive Rage from incoming damage.
Prowl	Automatically entered when solo and out of combat.
Mark of the Wild	Automatically recast each time you exit combat to ensure all allies have the buff—even after your death or theirs.
Heart of the Wild	Only prompts when targeting a hostile PvP player or a boss.

📥 Imports & Builds

AutoSpec: WeakAura

AutoSpec: GSE Sequences

🧬 Approved Talent Builds

    Approved talent builds are included in the ‘Talents’ panel of the ..._NOMOD GSE sequence. Each specialization provides, at least, an AoE and single-target PvE build.

• Builds are based on top PvE/PvP guides and tailored to AutoSpec’s logic.
• You may use other builds, but stability is only guaranteed with included imports.
• Build requests for PvP or leveling are always welcome when based on trusted, reputable guides to ensure smooth integration with existing builds.

ℹ️ About /macro Imports

    Importing the GSE sequences adds a set of standalone macros to your /macro panel. These one-off tools are not part of the rotation but assist with targeting and utility. Examples include stance switching, context-sensitive casts, and focus or mouseover support.

🕹️ Controls & Keybindings

	Combat	Combat	Enemy	Ally
Nomod	Damage	Prowl (Solo)	Charm Woodland Creature
Shift	Maul	Initiate Combat
Ctrl	Ironfur		Wild Charge
Alt	Frenzied Regeneration / Barkskin	Treant Form Healing		Regrowth

⌨️ Keybinding Detection

    AutoSpec automatically scans your action bars on login or when you use /reload to detect and display your current keybinds.

    If you move abilities after this scan, the display will not update until you reload your UI again.

---

    To disable keybind text, remove %c from the Text 1 field on the Display tab of the relevant WeakAura. Do not delete the field entirely.

Druids & Warriors:

• Use identical keybinds across all combat stances/forms.
• Avoid placing combat abilities on Travel Form bars (Druids).

📚 Quick Answers & FAQ

🔻 What key should I bind for the macro?

Bind a mouse button to Numpad + using your mouse software (Razer Synapse, Logitech G Hub, etc). Avoid binding to 1, Q, or function keys.

🔻 Why is nothing firing when I hold the button?

Check the following:

1. Continuous input is enabled (50ms)
2. All four GSE sequences are bound to Numpad +
3. No conflicting keybinds
4. You’re holding the button, not tapping it

🔻 Why won’t modifier prompts go away?

Make sure your mouse sends continuous Numpad + while holding the button and pressing modifiers. Double-check there are no in-game modifier keybinds and that the WeakAura is imported.

🔻 Why do I need repeat functionality?

GSE macros need steady, repeated input. Set your mouse to turbo/continuous on Numpad + (suggested: 50ms).

🔻 Where do I find talent builds?

Talent builds are included in the NOMOD GSE sequence’s Configuration panel. Some spec pages also link recommended builds.

🔻 How do I update specializations?

Re-import the latest strings from the WLM spec page. Use the Wago Companion app to stay synced.

🔻 Do I still need WeakAuras with GSE?

Yes. GSE handles macros; WeakAura manages HUD, prompts, and tracking.

🔻 Why don’t I see movement abilities or cooldowns?

AutoSpec does not automate movement abilities or long cooldowns. Use those manually or as prompted.

🔻 Can this get me banned?

No. AutoSpec only uses Blizzard-approved addons—no bots or API manipulation.

LINK HER

Hi, there are no link to WA

[Aerrek]

Oops, forgot about that part

Fixed

[Bertil]

@Aerrek

e updates often!

Trying it out and it seem like “Incarnation: Guardian of Ursoc” is not trigger it off. It get stuck there and after some sec moving on.

[Aerrek]

Away from my computer right now,

That ability is off the global cooldown meaning it can be cast at any point in time, regardless of where the GCD swipe is.

Abilities that are off the global cooldown I tend to put in the PRE or POST variables, depending on what they do. I think this one is POST.

The scrolling GSE macro will always show this spell as it is always available to cast. It’s probably only not showing when it’s checking the STANCE variable.

I’ll double check tomorrow, but you can open your combat log to verify if the macro is truly stuck or not, or if it just looks like it.

[Vittruvian]

I gave this a shot. I configured the keybinds like you said in the video (steps 1-4). For whatever reason when I press shift + mouse button it doesn’t cycle. I removed the Shift+mouse button from the keybindings and it still won’t cast Rake when holding shift. Per GSE > options I removed keybindings. Not sure what the issue is - any ideas?

[Aerrek]

@Vittruvian Hmmm,

If the macro is not cycling when holding SHIFT then it’s in input problem, not in game issue. The SHIFT mouse button won’t cycle if it’s not being clicked.

Are CTRL and ALT working? My best guess is to look into your mouse setup.

[Brandon_Radcliffe]

ok I dont know if im just short bus special or what, I watched your video 50 times in a row, you are saying 4 different buttons with 4 different key commands S,C,A and NO MOD…you can just use the same 1 and push the 3 MODS without occupying 4 action buttons, am I over thinking this or am I just losing it

[Ehrenlos]

You need to go into WoW keybinds and remove anything bound with “shift” in it or you cannot use shift as a mod for gse. Thats all i can think of. Hope you figure it out

[Vittruvian]

Good call, I created an option for F4 (my random assigned key), and now I need to do the same for Shift+F4. I’ll keep you posted.

Correct me if I’m wrong - the entire point and significant value of your 4-key approach is that you can keep existing shift/alt/ctrl commands on your keybinds, while still leveraging shift with the macro, correct?

[Aerrek]

@Brandon_Radcliffe, when I was originally experimenting with setting up the 1 button mouse key for all of the mods I was running into trouble with using the GSE modifiers for SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT when only using one action bar slot.

I didn’t understand at the time but as @Ehrenlos describes, GSE does not play nice when in-game key bindings are using the modifiers that GSE is also trying to use.

The solution I found was to directly assign the 4 keys to their own action buttons.

If anyone else has a less complicated solution to the one I have, I’d be happy to hear it!

[Aerrek]

@Vittruvian

keep existing shift/alt/ctrl commands on your keybinds, while still leveraging shift with the macro

That’s exactly right

[DarthKnight]

thanks! going to give it a try. WA no link. I went to your wago page to import the string!

[Aerrek]

First I forgot the link then I didn’t make it correctly

Working now

[Rongus]

This is working great for leveling, thanks for the hard work !

[Reiki_4_Life]

@Aerrek So want to try this. Questions. Do I have to create all 4 key binds AND have your WA installed before I can use it, or can I just bind a couple keys w/o WA to make sure I have things bound properly? Also, my shift, CTRL, and alt keys are just shift, ctrl, and alt. I am assuming I can just use those instead of binding all 4 to different mouse buttons? Using Elf’s and it works well- want to compare. VERY dumb when it comes to tech but I will get it. Thanks.

[Aerrek]

Hey @Reiki_4_Life ,

I think the video link near the top will help you a lot! Yes, you’ll need to bind your mouse to a keyboard button then the keyboard button to 4 action keys, one with no modifier and 3 with modifiers (shift, Ctrl, alt)

You do not need the weakaura to test the setup, just throw a few random spells on your 4 newly created actionbuttons and see if they cast

[Andrew_Medina]

OMG ty for all you do, would seriously pay a sub fee for your creations! Thx again

[Aerrek]

Wow thank you! After a few requests I did make a buy me a coffee page you’re interested in checking that out, I added it to the post near the bottom

Not necessary, but hey, I’d appreciate it!

[Laxdrum]

What Talents would work best with this ? maybe if possible list one for pvp mythic+ and raiding or rather just alternate builds for other niche content. I would really appreciate this much so as I am looking to do the pvp always see them on the battlegrounds. haha
