Added Prayer of Healing at the end of the Heal casts for greater AoE healing; should burn mana a little quicker and slow down the Holy Word: Salvation reset, but neither should be a huge deal. Let me know if you like this change better.
Updated 08/31/18
Very forgiving macro on mana and efficiency; updated talents to Circle of Healing instead of Binding Heal.
End of Updates
So simple that even a Marine could use it.
Been rolling through dungeons with this macro; other than the occasional knucklehead who insists in standing in exploding poop, I never lose anyone.
*Toggle your spam key (or hold it down if you prefer) over your (friendly) target frame and get busy. You donāt need to click it; just hovering over it will still work fine.
*Mod + ALT = Holy Word Salvation
*Mod + Shift = Divine Hymn
*Auto casts Holy Words Serenity & Sanctify (@ the cursor); I have a non-clickable icon to let me know know when to hover over my target area when Sanctify is about to pop.
*Gets the Holy Word: Salvation CD down to around 3:40-4:00 mins, which makes it ideal in dungeons/raids.
*Youāll never need to eat/drink/Innervate (unlike all my other macros).
*No Renew (other than Holy Word: Salvation); its garbage and not worth a GCD.
*Havenāt played it in PVP; hopefully, someone will be kind enough to let me know how it works outā¦
This macro is surprisingly good for its simplicity ā¦ Ive been healing mythics with it with hardly anyone dying. (Needless to say, if theres lots of movement, theres nothing I can do but spam renew, but thats nothing on the macro).
Only change Iāve made was cast Sanctify @player because dungeon fights seem to be cramped enough for that to work.
GJ though. Really enjoying this one.
Glad you like the macro! Coincidentally, I did the same thing as you, but have not released the newer version yet. Doing what you did works in PVE for the AoE spam; doing it in PVP is a life-saver.
this is the kind of macro I was looking for to test my holy priest (actually never played one) and I LOVE it just manually spamming the macro. with healbot as unitframes, got renew bound targeted so I can keep the dpsās full hp all the time
also note: im binding shift and alt to separate keys because I cant press and click a modifier
all in all a really good macro
edit
I tried it for 10 dungeon runs and moved the macro from [character specific] to [general macro] so I can bind it to a mouse click and have to say that works even better! its now:
Thanks for the comments everyone; am glad to hear that you are enjoying using the macro.
@Matthew Brewer I donāt PVP with this macro; I am using the other one that I posted. Having said that, I recommend that you at least take Greater Heal (obviously) and Holy Concentration (youāll need it; your longer casts get kicked a lot).
added to line 3 in the macro /cast [@targettarget,harm,nochanneling:Divine Hymn][@target,harm,nochanneling:Divine Hymn] Holy Word: Chastise
really just for fun
still getting really good feedbacks on the heals so the macro really works great
Each time HW: Sanctify and Serenity pops = 60 secs removed from the 12 minute HW: Salvation timer. Without Sanctify & Serenity, taking HW: Salvation as a talent would be useless; it takes too long to reset.
With a near-unlimited resource (mana) with this macro, over-healing is a non-issue: if the boss is dead, everyone is still alive, and you have plenty of mana remaining, thenā¦no one got over-healed.
But I can imagine that having to wait 6+ minutes on an ability that has a 12 minute CD before pull on the final boss would be awkward. Besidesā¦youāll thank God that you have Serenity and Sanctify in PVP.
Not sure about why you would mention HW: Chastise; its a damage/stun spell and isnt even in the macro. If you wanted a DPS macro for HPriests, hereās mine:
Hello John. Tried to get hold of you at Discord but yet to see you online.
NEver the less. I have used your āOld Holyā macro, IE not this one, and I find it amazing, untill i changed something I dont rememberā¦ now it gets stuck at times, so i will redown load it.
Did M+10 in time easily at 357 ilvl.
Now, today with way better gear, I troed this one it it seams like it just dont have the juice. Idk why, but the FoL is prob needed.
I have some other inputs, suggestions n such, feel happy to ping me at Discord if you ever comes online.
Awesome macros in overall btw, really enjoy. THANK YOU.
thanks for the macroā¦even tho im not a knucklehead(ok okā¦ maybe sometimes.) or a Marineā¦(AF) i appreciate your humorā¦instructions as to how YOU use this and suggest how it works best. so many time thats a matter of ā¦quoteā¦āplaystyleā, which i find an oxymoron cuz its nice to have the author of the macro advise on proper way to use his macro to get the results he wrote it for after testing it to find that out. All part of the macro isnt it? Then its up to me to learn that procedureā¦ Gween was great at thisā¦ true mentoring. cant wait to try it out.
Hi John, just installed your macro and I have a question/comment or two.
you say:
"*Mod + ALT = Holy Word Salvation
*Mod + Shift = Divine Hymn
But the macro shows Mod+Alt Guardian Spirit
Question, some cast use @player and some @mouseover, any reason you donāt use @mouseover for all?
Circle of Healing and Holy Word: Sanctify use @player
Would Holy Word: Sanctify benefit from using @cursor?
Also, dosenāt @player mean yourself? If so, Circle of Healing will go off at your location instead of melee or tanks location (where ever its most needed), although it has a 30yard range so it could reach other players.
Just like to know as a learning experience (thereās always something to learn)
Thank you for taking the time to address the issues that you raised.
I was tooling around with PVP Ray of Hope + HW: Salvation; I was moving things around. However, it seems that you have a firm enough grasp of macros that you can either change it out for another ability or remove the GS on the alt modifier entirely.
CoH is a āplacementā (like huntersā traps and shamansā totems); they need to be clicked, aimed, and then activatedā¦a lengthy process but a waste of time if one is not ready/has forgotten about it.
The short story is that @cursor spells generally do not work very well. I find that they do not do well with the @cursor command; the line either gets skipped or I am caught by surprise when those abilities fire off and puts it out in Timbuktuā¦making the cast useless. So I placed CoH to fire off on myself; doing so seems like the ābest fitā scenario. In PVE I stack on the melee/tank for the big AoE heal. In PVP, its an irritating heal that makes it extra difficult to take me down.
