🚀 AutoSpec: Getting Started
For detailed, step-by-step instructions on installing addons, configuring your mouse, and testing your setup, please visit the
Getting Started guide.
📖 What Is AutoSpec?
AutoSpec is a fully automated combat system for World of Warcraft that runs your entire specialization using GSE macros combined with a dynamic WeakAura HUD.
Holding one mouse button and modifiers (Shift, Ctrl, Alt), AutoSpec executes your rotation with minimal input and maximum precision.
If a decision can’t be automated effectively, it prompts you on-screen—no guesswork, no clutter.
AutoSpec uses only approved addons and does not automate gameplay outside Blizzard’s permitted UI scripting. It fully complies with Blizzard’s Terms of Service.
⚡ What It Does
AutoSpec doesn’t tell you what to press—it handles it.
Its logic is modeled after the highest-performing guides and optimized for real-time decision-making inside GSE.
Modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt) lift you into alternate layers of the sequence.
If something can’t be safely automated, AutoSpec will prompt you instead—no guesswork.Once installed, it just works.
No stress. No memorization. Just results.🧹 Say Goodbye To…
Autospec replaces the traditional UI elements and decision overhead that slow most players down.
With this system, you no longer need:
- Action bars
- Rotation tracking addons
- Complex keybinds
- Cognitive clutter
👉 AutoSpec: What You Need to Know
AutoSpec simplifies gameplay by letting you control your entire specialization with one activation button combined with modifier keys—Shift, Ctrl, and Alt—that prompt you when manual input is needed. You hold a mouse button bound to
Numpad +, and the system automates core abilities while prompting modifiers for situational spells.Below are key details to help you get started with combat, understand the Main and Cursor HUDs, and troubleshoot common issues.
⚔️ Getting Started with Combat
To begin, target an enemy within your spell range and hold the mouse button bound to
Numpad +. A Shift modifier prompt will appear when ready. Press Shift while holding the activation button to engage combat and start your rotation. Continue holding the button for automated casting of core abilities.Modifier prompts appear only when manual input is required. Always hold the activation button before pressing modifiers; pressing modifiers alone won’t cast abilities or clear prompts. Holding multiple modifiers simultaneously is unnecessary and unsupported.
🛠️ Manual Abilites
AutoSpec automates your core combat rotation and situational spells prompted via modifiers. However, movement abilities and major cooldowns—such as defensive buffs, burst damage cooldowns, or mobility spells—are not automated. You control these manually to ensure flexibility and precise timing in every situation.
⚔️ Main HUD Overview
The Main HUD provides visual guidance and feedback during combat. It includes:
- Center Display: Shows large alerts when modifier input is needed or critical conditions occur.
- Text Feed: Provides continuous updates and prompts near your character’s feet.
- Progress Bars: Display durations of key buffs, cooldowns, and important effects.
This HUD keeps you informed without cluttering your screen, helping you time abilities precisely.These HUD elements provide clear, unobtrusive visual cues so you can stay focused on the fight without missing important prompts or timings.
🖱️ Cursor HUD Overview
The Cursor HUD shows abilities tied to mouseover or cursor-targeted casts, with modifier labels:
(S), (C), (A): Indicate Shift, Ctrl, and Alt modifiers respectively for cursor-based spells.
Movement Indicators: Visual glowing rings or effects around your cursor signal available movement abilities.
To cast, hover your cursor over a target and press the indicated modifier key while holding the activation button.
The Cursor HUD offers intuitive, immediate feedback for mouseover and movement abilities, helping you react quickly and accurately.
⚠️ Common Issues & Tips
Important: Always press modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt) while holding the activation button (mouse bound to
Numpad +). Pressing modifiers without holding the button will not cast abilities or clear prompts, which is the most common cause of confusion.Holding multiple modifiers simultaneously is unnecessary and not supported by AutoSpec.
To verify AutoSpec is active, open your in-game chat window and hold the activation button. You should see a continuous stream of “+” symbols flooding the chat, confirming macro activity.
Ensure your repeat-click software is properly configured for constant input.
If modifier prompts persist on screen, verify you’re holding the activation button when pressing modifiers, and check for conflicting keybindings or software interference.
🔂 One Button, One Modifier
AutoSpec avoids using QWERTY keys entirely to prevent conflicts with movement, chat, or other standard gameplay inputs.
The system is optimized for one-button turbo macro usage combined with modifier prompts that align with your natural reflexes.
This design enables seamless layer switching without cognitive load.
Even though multiple macros are layered together within the system, you’ll never need more than one mouse button and one modifier at a time to stay in full control.

How It Works
🔧 System Engine
AutoSpec isn’t a script—it’s a full combat engine.
It reacts live to your game state using GSE macros and WeakAura overlays—automating your rotation, prompting your modifiers, and adapting to your environment.Instead of tracking cooldowns and memorizing openers, you:
- Hold a single key (with turbo)
- Press modifiers when prompted
- Let the system handle the rest
Below is a breakdown of how the engine works:
⚙️ System Overview
AutoSpec mirrors elite PvE/PvP logic through live, priority-based decision making.
Every sequence is custom-built—not copied, not templated—to react to:
- Combat state
- Target behavior
- Player context
This allows AutoSpec to automate complex behaviors without losing precision.
It’s not just smart—it’s personalized logic, live in your hands.🧬 Conditional Logic & Priority Flow
Each GSE macro is layered with conditional logic to determine whether an action is usable, relevant, or needed.
Common logic types include:
[combat]/[nocombat]— separates in-combat vs idle behavior[group],[party],[raid]— adapts to group size[known:####]— detects talent choices[harm],[help],[exists],[dead]— checks target status[target=focus],[target=targettarget]— enables smart targeting/stopcasting— interrupts bad or outdated castsIf a condition can’t be safely automated, AutoSpec prompts you instead.
If it can be automated, it will be.📡 Dynamic Combat Triggers
Each specialization comes with a unique WeakAura HUD—built to react in real time to:
- Buffs/debuffs on you, your target, and your focus
- Power levels and health thresholds
- Interrupt windows and spellcasts
- Enemy phases, immunities, and incoming threats
AutoSpec sees what matters—then adjusts instantly.
It’s like playing with a sixth sense: always focused, never overwhelmed.🎯 Combat Initiation Logic
AutoSpec is built to never pull accidentally.
Even if you target an enemy, the system stays passive unless you actively engage using
Shift.
This prevents:
- Premature dungeon pulls
- Accidental aggro after a mob dies
- Wasted cooldowns on filler targets
By default, GSE sequences are locked with
[nocombat]until you pressShift.
This keeps you in control—always.
🖥️ Visual Interface
AutoSpec’s HUD replaces outdated UI clutter with a high-contrast, minimalist overlay that tells you exactly what to do—and when.
🖥️ Visual HUD Elements
Modifier Prompt Panel
A large on-screen key icon appears (styled like Blizzard’s own UI) to indicate when
Shift,Ctrl, orAltis needed.
- The icon’s background color matches the ability it’s linked to
- Prompts “explode” into view when triggered and fade out smoothly once resolved
- Positioned just above your action bars, directly under your character’s feet
- Font and style match Blizzard defaults—no extra fonts or dependencies
[Insert Screenshot Placeholder: Modifier HUD active mid-combat]
Center Display
When important conditions arise (like a missed focus target or upcoming major cooldown), you’ll see large, centered alerts—always high contrast and color-coded to match the ability.
Cursor HUD
For cursor-aimed or mouseover abilities (e.g., Heroic Leap, Blizzard, Riptide), AutoSpec includes a floating HUD at your cursor:
- Shows readiness or charges for cursor-based casts
- Animates in and out for clarity without screen spam
🧭 Timers & Cooldown Bars
Each spec includes class-themed progress bars for key buffs, defensives, and cooldowns.
They appear only when relevant and are designed to support—not distract.
Progress Bar Logic
- Max of 2 active bars at a time
- Prioritized by urgency and player impact
- Bars animate upward into view with a horizontal fill
- Each bar fades out when expired
Visual Design
- Class-colored borders styled after Blizzard’s default UI frame
- Specialization-specific textures for a polished, modern look
- No numeric countdowns—visual timing only, to preserve minimalism
Tracked Effects
- Personal buffs and cooldowns (e.g., Barkskin, Avenging Wrath)
- Major defensives or throughput windows
- Some focus target buffs for healer specs
🔊 Audio Cues & Reactions
AutoSpec uses subtle audio alerts to flag critical moments—without overloading your ears.
Interrupt Sound
- A crisp, short ding plays only when:
- You have an interrupt available
- Your target is casting a spell
- The cast is interruptible
You’ll learn to react to the sound without thinking.
Other Alerts
- Rarely, other audible queues may play for high-priority actions (e.g., failing to focus target)
- These are minimal, specific, and non-repetitive by design
- No looping audio, no clutter, no memes—just clarity

📚 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 to1,Q, or function keys.🔻 Why is nothing firing when I hold the button?
Check the following:
- Continuous input is enabled (50ms)
- All four GSE sequences are bound to
Numpad +- No conflicting keybinds
- 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
NOMODGSE sequence’sConfigurationpanel. 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.
