📈 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.

Shadow: Insanity is my coping mechanic.

📝 Specialization Notes

⚙️ Ability Usage & Features

	Description
Shadow Crash	UI timer assists with optional usage timing. Compatible with both @target and @cursor talent selections.
Shadow Word: Pain	Opener and low-priority filler for when moving.
Fade	Auto-used solo; prompts in group when you pull aggro.
Power Infusion	Uses the Details! addon’s live DPS data to cast on the highest-damage target; if you’re at the top, it falls back to the second-highest. Requires Details! to function.

🖥️ Nameplates

	Description
Vampiric Embrace	The icon appears on all enemy nameplates, even if they don’t have the debuff, until at least five enemies are affected; turns red when nearing expiration. Applying more than this results in diminished DPS returns.

‼️ To see what specific conditions prompt a WeakAura cast, search for the ability name in /wa and navigate to its "Trigger" tab inside the aura.

📥 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

[DarthKnight]

Thanks for this! started playing spriest for mop remix.

[Aerrek]

I hope you enjoy!

Rule #1 Spread those dots at all costs

[ronemon]

Took me ten views of the video to figure it all out (had to understand the button combos) but its the best macro I’ve used. Thank you for this

[Aerrek]

@ronemon,

Happy it’s working out for you, nothing but the best for the best! Also, I made small updates to both the macro and weakaura!

…and fixed the Buy Me a Coffee link (no need tho)

[magmaisllck123]

Hi Aerrek

Could you make a tutorial on how to set up razor Synapse, binding 1 mouse button to 4 keyboard keys?

[Kiyuga89]

Haha you’ll laugh, I’ve already celebrated your demo-lock macro / wa, the days I’ve been wondering if and when he’ll do a priest macro (my old main is shadow-priest) and less than a week later the corresponding shadowpriest macro appears. There are coincidences Works like charm, but I didn’t expect anything else
And since I had already fought my way through all the settings with auto-click and all that stuff, I was able to get started straight away this time
Keep up your great work , The interaction of your macros with the corresponding weak auras in particular ensures that your macros stand out - thumbs up

[Aerrek]

@magmaisllck123

Could you make a tutorial on how to set up razor Synapse, binding 1 mouse button to 4 keyboard keys?

Here is a screenshot of my setup that should point you in the right direction:

[Aerrek]

@Kiyuga89 The Demo one is where it all started! Happy to hear that Spriest is working out for you! It was probably the most difficult GSE macro to make so far, next to Resto Shaman

[Kiyuga89]

Small note: In the line for “Dark Ascension” I found a small mistake, it says “Dark AscenTion” in the macro, but it has to be “Dark AscenSion” with an s, so it doesn’t work if you don’t change it separately everything else works great so far

[Aerrek]

Oops

@Kiyuga89

it has to be “Dark AscenSion”

Oops

GSE Updated

[Skehlaar]

Hello my friend i’ll test your shadow, but when i loaded the macro, did i get this

https://i.imgur.com/dShnLrn.png

(edit: found a marco (is not yours) and it was loaded by mistake)

[magmaisllck123]

yeah i figured it out finally! still try to get use to this setting, btw say shift from wa pops up, do i hold shift or press it once? some of your WA got a timer do i hold it till timer expires?

[Aerrek]

If you see a modifier it’s just a press (or hold until it casts). I think one of the exceptions to this is Fury where CTRL uses and entire different string of spells.

For Spriest, say you press ALT for vampiric embrace, the button wont go away until it detects vampiric embrace on your target (once cast it over). It might feel like you need to hold it but its just that your character is still casting vampiric embrace.

For the timers, I don’t think any of them are related to pressing the modifiers. Usually they are just a visual indication of a buff/debuff that I thought the player might want to be aware of

[Aerrek]

@Skehlaar

edit: found a marco (is not yours) and it was loaded by mistake

This happens to my macros as-well. I use a ton on conditionals and when the macros start to get longer and more complicated these little messages pop up.

The macro is still working

[magmaisllck123]

i have a problem i dono if the macro is designed this way or not but everytime i hold down the macro it just mount thru different mounts in my collection. I can only start combat with shift + macro. I think its intented but its quite annoying for me, sometimes i will try to mount up in the middle of a rotation. Anyway to get rid of the mount up feature?

[Aerrek]

@magmaisllck123,

The macro incorporates using the favorite mount button when you’re out of combat. If it’s happening mid rotation, you are somehow dropping combat which meets the conditions to summon your mount.

If you want to remove the mounting aspect you can delete the text from the “POST” variable

[magmaisllck123]

ok so far so good, since i playing this priest on mop its hard to tell how much dmg im actaully doing, everything seem to be pretty good cept insanity proc, kinda have to press mind flay manually i guess, btw thx for the tips and replies really appreciated!! Im looking forward to try out some of your other macros.

[Kiyuga89]

Had the same thoughts with mind flay, but it is casting sometimes, and since its just a filler-spell you dont need it very often cause all your other spells are more than enough to have a good rotation

[Aerrek]

@magmaisllck123 @Kiyuga89,

Thanks for pointing that out!

I added:

/stopmacro [channeling:Mind Flay: Insanity]

The macro no longer interrupts Mind Flay: Insanity but will continue to inturrupt Mind Flay as this is the standard filler spell!
