Holy Healing Macros? Why not?

Priest Archive Patch 5.0+

I use this on my lvl 88 holy priest in 5 mans and have no problems with them other than mana regen due to my gear.

Single target low damage:

#showtooltip Heal
/castsequence reset=target Renew,null
/castsequence [@targettarget]reset=0.3 0,0,0,0,Mindbender
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,0,Power Word: Shield
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,Prayer of Mending
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,Holy Word: Chastise
/castsequence reset=0.3 Heal
/use Desperate Prayer
/use Guardian Spirit
/use 13
/use 14

Single target high damage:

#showtooltip Flash Heal
/castsequence reset=target Renew,null
/castsequence [@targettarget]reset=0.3 0,0,0,0,Mindbender
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,0,Power Word: Shield
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,Prayer of Mending
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,Holy Word: Chastise
/castsequence reset=0.3 Flash Heal
/use Desperate Prayer
/use Guardian Spirit
/use 13
/use 14

Aoe Healing or raid healing (not tested):

#showtooltip Prayer of Healing
/castsequence reset=target Renew,null
/castsequence [@targettarget]reset=0.3 0,0,0,Mindbender
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,Prayer of Mending
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,Circle of Healing
/castsequence reset=0.3 Prayer of Healing
/use Desperate Prayer
/use Guardian Spirit
/use 13
/use 14

I use raid frames just to target players then spam the macro that they need based on the damage they are taking at that time. Test them out tell me what you guys think. Or if you can make them better!

Why can’t we be lazy healers as well i ask? Why?

They should work well, it’s not best to create healing macros unless it’s a channel cast like it is for Monks. I can see this working though.

The only other issue is that in raids it’s all about AoE healing. So your final macro would be the best, but I would get rid of GS out it and save it when your tank needs it. With you putting it on when little to no damage goes out makes you look like a bot in LFR.

So I did some testing, the AoE Macro works really well. It does use up a little bit too much mana but I don’t have the Spirit for it. Overall very good. I’ll test out the single target ones later in the week.

Good job

I have some fixes lined up to make them better overall. When I got home tonight I’ll post them.

This is a good idea and easily can work for Druids and Resto Shammies too.

After doing some testing, single target needs work:

#showtooltip Heal
/castsequence reset=target Renew,null
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,0,0,0,Halo
/castsequence [@targettarget]reset=0.3 0,0,0,0,Mindbender
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,0,Circle of Healing
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,Prayer of Mending
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,Holy Word: Chastise
/castsequence reset=0.3 Heal
/use Desperate Prayer
/use 13
/use 14

So far that is working well for me. I put CoH in it because you kind of want to use it on every cooldown as much as you can. I’m not too sure on Mindbender though, I see it giving me only about 20k mana, which is very little.

So i’m starting to think that having Power word: shield in the macro is a huge mana dump, why i think you didn’t put it in yours Michael. And i was unaware that you wanted to use CoH on CD. I made this macro off the priority list on noxxic.com. Iv never raid healed with a priest due to mine only being lvl 89 atm. either way ill try it out soon. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi Brent

CoH needs to be used on every CD because it’s a smart heal. It also will heal pets so your Hunters will thank you.

As for PW:S you can use it, but you get no return on it. Whereas with Disc you get a mana back return with it.

After doing some more work on it, Halo or any of the T90 talents are a waste for a macro. I know we want to use Divine Star or Cascade but with the high mana cost it makes it difficult. I presume if you have enough spirit though than this macro will work beautifully.

Actually this is the better single target macro. I also added /use chakra serenity to ensure that when swapping between aoeing and single target healing that it automatically changes forms and visa versa. Whats more, I also added a /target mouseover. In 2s I have one with /target Partners Name and /target My Name for a separate macro for myself. It makes it so no clicking or delay. You dont want to have to hover over a person or their icon on your screen. Takes too long. However in bgs make it /target mouseover that way you can just hover over their icon or person rather than clicking which is annoying and slow.

Also I added sound and error message scripts to get rid of those annoying red messages in the center of the screen saying “That Ability Isnt Ready Yet” and so on. Also it should eliminate the annoying sounds when trying to use abilities that are on cooldown. I tried it out and it reduced or elminated all of that annoying sound as well as the messages. You should put this into all of your macros.

AOE Healing - shifts you into Chakra: Sanctuary which is awesome. I put a /cast !Prayer of Mending in there and took it out of the priority listing as it wasnt casting properly.
