These WoW Forever Paladin macros each fix something a Paladin runs into every day: the heal that loses your target, the stun that lands too late, three Blessings on three buttons, the monster that runs past the tank to the healer. There are 23, each found in at least two Forever macro guides or built from two of them, with every spell name, level and cooldown checked in the WoW Forever client. Every macro stays under the game's 255-letter limit in each language of this page. Find your problem in the headings, paste the macro, and it is on your bar in a minute.
What Forever changes for a Paladin's macros:
- Judgement, from level 4, no longer uses up your Seal, sits outside the global cooldown and comes back every 10 seconds: it goes out on the same press as the ability after it. Since Blizzard's hotfix of November 11 it counts as a ranged attack: it uses your ranged hit chance and no longer triggers what a melee attack triggers.
- Holy Strike, a trainer spell from level 6, strikes with your weapon and adds Holy damage every 10 seconds.
- Seal of Fury, from level 10, shields you with every hit while you carry a shield, and its Judgement taunts the enemy for 3 seconds.
- Voice of Truth, from level 20, makes you immune to Silence and Interrupt effects for 6 seconds, and Blessings now last an hour.
- The Protection talents Swift Judgement, a second Judgement with its own cooldown, and Templar's Bulwark, an absorb shield as large as your maximum health, are new.
- Judgement, Swift Judgement, Divine Favor, Voice of Truth and Templar's Bulwark sit outside the global cooldown in Forever's client: each one goes out on the same press as the spell after it.
- Blizzard's notes of October 8 brought back swapping several weapons within one global cooldown, so a two-hander becomes a sword and shield on one press.
How to make a macro in WoW Forever
- Type
/macroin the chat box, or open the game menu and choose Macros. - Pick the second tab, which holds this character's own macros, click New, type a name and choose the question mark icon. With
#showtooltipon the first line, the button shows the spell the macro is about to use, with its cooldown. - Paste the lines into the box, close the window and drag the macro onto an action bar.
How to read them:
[@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][@player]: the living ally under your cursor, then your target if it is a friend, then you. Withharmin place ofhelp, the living enemy under your cursor, then your target.[mod:shift],[mod:ctrl]: the spell after it goes out while you hold Shift or Ctrl. The first condition that is true wins; the name after the last;is the default./stopcasting: ends the spell you are casting, so the next line goes out at once.- Your game's language. The commands (
/cast,/startattack…) are English in every language of the game, but a spell's name must be written exactly as your client writes it. Each language of this page gives the names of its own client.
For every Paladin
Judgement and Holy Strike on one key (level 6)
Judgement and Holy Strike both come back every 10 seconds, on two keys you press together anyway.
#showtooltip Holy Strike
/startattack
/cast Judgement
/cast Holy StrikeOne press starts your auto attack, judges your target and uses Holy Strike: Judgement sits outside the global cooldown, so both go out together. Judgement keeps your Seal in Forever, so there is nothing to cast again after it. It reaches 10 yards.
Two Seals on one key (level 38)
A Seal lasts 30 seconds, and you put one back all fight long from two different buttons.
#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Seal of Wisdom; Seal of RighteousnessThe key puts up Seal of Righteousness, or Seal of Wisdom while you hold Shift, when your mana runs low. Only one Seal is active at a time: the new one replaces the old. Write the Seal you use most in place of either name.
Hammer of Justice on the enemy under your cursor, even mid-heal (level 8)
The enemy you need to stun is never your target, and your heal is still casting when it matters.
#showtooltip Hammer of Justice
/stopcasting
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Hammer of JusticeThe key stops the spell you are casting and stuns the enemy under your cursor, or your target when the cursor is on nothing, for 3 seconds (4 from level 24, 5 from level 40, 6 from level 54). Hammer of Justice reaches 10 yards and comes back every minute.
Three Blessings on one key, on the ally under your cursor (level 20)
Blessing of Might, Blessing of Wisdom and Blessing of Kings sit on three buttons, and blessing a group means clicking each player for each of them.
#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift,@mouseover,help,nodead][mod:shift] Blessing of Wisdom; [mod:ctrl,@mouseover,help,nodead][mod:ctrl] Blessing of Kings; [@mouseover,help,nodead][] Blessing of MightThe key blesses the ally under your cursor, or your target, with Blessing of Might; with Blessing of Wisdom while you hold Shift, and Blessing of Kings while you hold Ctrl. Each Blessing lasts an hour in Forever, and a player keeps one Blessing of yours at a time.
Three Auras on one key (level 22)
You change Aura with each fight, and each Aura has its own button.
#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Concentration Aura; [mod:ctrl] Retribution Aura; Devotion AuraThe key puts up Devotion Aura; while you hold Shift, Concentration Aura, for when your healers keep being interrupted, and while you hold Ctrl, Retribution Aura. Your group keeps one Aura of yours at a time.
Blessing of Freedom on the ally under your cursor (level 18)
A rooted or slowed group member needs your Blessing now, and clicking their frame loses your target.
#showtooltip Blessing of Freedom
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][@player] Blessing of FreedomThe key frees the ally under your cursor, then your friendly target, then you, from what slows and roots them for 10 seconds. Blessing of Freedom comes back every 20 seconds. The same line works for Blessing of Sacrifice from level 46: write its name in place of Blessing of Freedom.
Blessing of Protection on the ally under your cursor (level 10)
The healer is taking melee hits, and your Blessing of Protection would need you to click them first.
#showtooltip Blessing of Protection
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead] Blessing of ProtectionThe key protects the ally under your cursor, or your friendly target, from all physical attacks for 6 seconds (8 from level 24, 10 from level 38). It never falls back on you: a protected player cannot attack, and Divine Shield is the one for yourself. It puts Forbearance on that player for a minute.
Lay on Hands on the ally under your cursor, or yourself (level 10)
Lay on Hands is the heal you use once every 20 minutes, on whoever is dying, and there is no time to target them.
#showtooltip Lay on Hands
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][@player] Lay on HandsThe key heals the ally under your cursor, then your friendly target, then you, for as much as your maximum health, and uses all your remaining mana. To heal only yourself without changing your target, even in the middle of a cast:
#showtooltip Lay on Hands
/stopcasting
/cast [@player] Lay on HandsDivine Shield, and drop it with a second press (level 34)
Divine Shield halves your damage for 10 seconds (12 from level 50), even once the danger has passed.
#showtooltip Divine Shield
/cancelaura Divine Shield
/cast Divine ShieldThe first press protects you from all damage and spells for 10 seconds (12 from level 50); a second press ends it early, so you deal your full damage again. It puts Forbearance on you for a minute: until it ends, you cannot use Divine Protection or Templar's Bulwark, or receive Blessing of Protection.
Purify, then Cleanse, on the ally under your cursor (level 8)
A poison or a disease on a group member means clicking their frame in the middle of a fight.
#showtooltip Purify
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][@player] PurifyThe key removes a disease and a poison from the ally under your cursor, then your friendly target, then you. From level 42, Cleanse also removes a magic effect: use this one instead.
#showtooltip Cleanse
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][@player] CleanseVoice of Truth before a heal that must land (level 20)
A caster interrupts your heal just as your group member is about to die.
#showtooltip Flash of Light
/cast Voice of Truth
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][@player] Flash of LightOne press makes you immune to Silence and Interrupt effects for 6 seconds and starts Flash of Light on the ally under your cursor, your friendly target or you: Voice of Truth sits outside the global cooldown in Forever's client. It comes back every 3 minutes; until then, the key is a plain Flash of Light.
