📈 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. Every detail, from dynamic automation logic to in-game prompts and event-based triggers, is hand-built and maintained with a game developer’s mindset.

🔍 Preview & Guide

⏹️ Center Stack

Your go-to layer for critical combat info, ordered by priority:

1. Priority Alerts
   Major defensives or emergency heals that block out everything else.
2. Core Abilities
   Your primary offensive abilities and logic, shown when no alerts are active.
3. Progress Bars
   Key buff timers, cooldowns, and movement effects, displaying only the highest‐priority bar at once.

⬇️ Action Button

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

Includes:

• Rotational CDs: Major offensive or defensive cooldowns outside your core cast rotation
• Interrupts & One-Offs: Spells like Kick, Purge, etc., prompted as soon as they’re expected to be used

    Icons appear only when the ability is off cooldown and contextually appropriate, complete with your keybind overlay.

⬅️ Global Utility HUD (🚫 Unreleased)

    Common abilities that every player should have at hand—no spec filtering.

Includes:

• Combat Resurrections: Rebirth, Soulstone, Redemption
• Out-of-Combat Resurrects: Revive, Ancestral Spirit, etc.
• Class-Wide Toggles & Auras: Paladin Auras, Shaman Totems, Warrior Shouts
• Persistent Racial Effects: All passive racials or toggled racials

    Icons are loaded at login and never hidden—this HUD is a static toolbox for universal mechanics.

➡️ Conditional Utility HUD (🚫 Unreleased)

    Surface support spells only when their explicit use conditions are met—if you see it, press it.

Includes:

• Cleanses/Dispels: Magic, Poison, Disease removal
• Ally-Targeted Saves: Focus-cast barriers, shields, emergency heals
• Conditional CC: Imprison, Sap, Psionic Trap (based on enemy type or status)

    Abilities are hidden by default and appears when its trigger logic fires, and may glow when ugent (e.g., dispel-worthy debuff detected).

↔️ Situational Utility HUD (🚫 Unreleased)

    Reactive/tactical crowd-control and niche utilities for enemy-facing scenarios—your “catch all" CC deck.

Includes:

• Interrupts: Kick, Counterspell, Pummel
• Soft CC & Displacements: Cyclone, Typhoon, Scatter, Gouge
• AoE Control: Ring of Frost, Fear, Freezing Trap
• Other Situational Utilities: Abilities that don’t fit the above categories but are used reactively

    Icons show on cooldown readiness; glow or highlight when the situational conditions (enemy casting, proximity, etc.) are met.

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

📥 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

🔄 AutoSpec Controls

    The WeakAura is built to make ability usage and gameplay as intuitive as possible.

General behavior across all AutoSpec systems:

• When no modifier is pressed, you’re running the ...NOMOD sequence, which handles your core damage or healing rotation.
• The ...NOMOD sequence will auto-target enemies, but it will not start combat until you press Shift.
• The ...SHIFT sequence doubles as the initiate combat button while out of combat. It’s intentionally required to begin pulling, acting as a safeguard to prevent accidental engagement.

---

    When a modifier is needed, you’ll get a clear on-screen prompt or alert.
If the ability requires mouseover or cursor targeting, it will attach to your cursor and display the required modifier if applicable.

Just follow the in-game prompts—no memorization required!

⌨️ 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).

Resources & Support

📚 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.

Updated during Patch 11.1.7 - Managed via Obsidian

[Skehlaar]

I’ll gonna try this later My arms warrior suck balls, so maybe it can a little bit now hehe.

another thing, you have plans for Havoc DH?

[Aerrek]

Hah, well hopefully with this you can suck a little less.

Havoc is on the way

[Skehlaar]

Awesome!

I think my arms warrior is to lowgeared, since i didt do any good dmg. its ilvl 508
But i’ll keep trying and using your macro.

[Aerrek]

Further testing in progress, please stand by

[Aerrek]

Alrighty, I had made a post but turns out some of the triggers were busted, here’s the copy pasta from my first reply

---

Hey @Skehlaar,

I’m happy you mentioned it.

I thought this was a difficult system to setup, until I started working on the Enhancement Shaman which makes this one look like cake, from a development standpoint.

Anyways, I used the triggering and structuring techniques I learned from Enhancement and applied them to Arms. This system now essentially mimics how Icy Veins wants us to play the spec.

I also went in and restructured the sequence, putting a higher priority on:
Execute > Overpower >>> Thunder Clap > Slam.

This should be a solid DPS boost

Macro and WA Updated!

Icy Veins ST/AoE Modifier buttons priority structure.

Example of new trigger structure. Helps to keep things organized.

AutoSpec for Arms is back

---

Everything you need to know is in the video and the notes!

[Bbqdogking89]

Will test it some tonight in high keys and tomorrow on mythic raid prog! Looking forward to using it!

[Bbqdogking89]

A few priority issues i think, seems like not enough mortal strike is the big one. Also Overpower is being over prioritized and so is slam I think.

[Aerrek]

Updated:

• Adjusted priority logic to send out Mortal Strike first instead of prioritizing Overpower early.
• Overpower was previously ranked higher to account for line 6 behavior, but sending Mortal Strikes out earlier performs better overall.
• 
• GSE macro updated with improved priority handling and several minor fixes.

EDIT: Also noteworthy, this is not going to perform AoE damage on a static target dummy the same way as it is in actually gameplay due to the “swap to single target” mechanic I built into the filler. If you haven’t swapped targets in a while it thinks you are doing single target damage and swaps to slam from Thunder Clap

[Bbqdogking89]

Significant improvements in mythic raiding on single target. I think the only other thing which honestly isn’t a big deal, may be adding rend to the WA or as one of the modifier’s, sometimes it lets it fall a bit too often, but I know its a fine balance, between that and over spamming it.

Macro is working great in +16-17 keys as well!

[Doowie]

@Aerrek

Rend icon appears on nameplates over enemies missing the debuff and reappears in red when it’s about to expire—click the nameplate to reapply.

This should help with the rend issue

[cowboycoda]

Howdy! Thanks for all the hard work and thought you put behind AutoSpec here. I am in a bit of a pickle though. Even with Logic G Hub, setting Num Pad + to my side mouse button, as well as using the Repeatable option, set to 50ms.. and testing in game ensuring that it works.. hasn’t gotten me away from having to click it still. It is almost as though it isn’t registering through GSE? I have all the mods and nomods set to the same button as they should.

Has anyone else had an issue with either G Hub or maybe something else I am missing? Everything works, when I click.
I ensured that it is repeating while holding.
It just doesn’t seem to push AutoSpec as it should.

[Aerrek]

I went in and removed a few of the slams before the Rend reapplication, I think 6 was way too much. That’s probably a why it was falling off. You can import or just delete three slams from the bottom of the nomod sequence

// After 2 Thunder Claps, you're likely in single-target.
/castsequence [combat,nochanneling,known:6343]   reset=target  Thunder Clap, Thunder Clap, Rend, null
/castsequence [combat,nochanneling]   reset=target  Slam, Slam, Slam, Rend

[Aerrek]

I wish I had a solid answer, but you’re not the first to run into this with Logitech G Hub.

I don’t use Logitech myself, so I can’t test it directly, but a lot of people report that the key spams fine in chat—until modifiers get involved. At that point, it just stops working. Could be a modifier setting in G Hub, or just typical G Hub nonsense.

If you figure it out, let me know—I’ll add it to the getting started page so others know.

If nothing works, ditch the mouse macro and just bind the sequence to a keyboard key like E or 1—something easy to hold. To me, it’s not preferable, but it works hah

[cowboycoda]

Yeah, Logitech doing Logitech things I am sure. I am glad I am not the only one. I messed around a bit more with it to no avail. I may even try another program, but E works for mE. Thanks bud!

[cowboycoda]

I got your fix for Logitech G HUB.

So, instead of just binding the key itself..
You create a macro, a repeating macro, record your keystrokes and it will repeat it. As simple as that.

That is what sleep deprivation does to a man.

[Aerrek]

Hah well I’m glad you got it sorted and I’ll include it as a note
