A macro is a method of combining several actions to execute in a single button press or keystroke., with it gameplay is improved efficiently. With macros you can customize complicated sequence of actions into a single command, compress 2 spells into 1 button and more. To have a better understanding of macros, check out WoWWiki’s macro beginner’s guide.

If you have any macros you would like to share, please contact me.

Below are listed useful macros for paladins:

> Taunt
/cast [help,nodead][target=targettarget,help,nodead] Righteous Defense;
As Righteous Defense requires you to click on your party member instead of the attacker to pull aggro, it can be tedious at times. Here if you target the attacker, it casts Righteous Defense on his target, who is your party member. It also works when your target is friendly.

> Seal Macro

/cast Judgement
/stopcasting
/cast Seal of X;
where X is the seal of your choice, i.e. Righteousness, Command, etc.

Simple macro which auto casts Seal after Judgement.

> Blessings Macro

/cast [modifier:alt] Greater Blessing of X; Blessing of X;
where X is the blessing of your choice, i.e. Kings, Wisdom, etc.

A macro i made myself. This casts a Blessing of your choice when you click it, with the ALT key and it casts Greater Blessing. This is useful as it compresses 2 similiar spell and saves space on your screen.

> Multi-rank Consecration

/cast [modifier:alt] Consecration(Rank 1); Consecration;

Here click with ALT key to use Rank 1 Consecration to break rogues out of stealth, then use highest rank Consecration for combat. This way allows you to prevent mana wastage.

> Divine Light/Shock

/cast [combat] Divine Favor
/stopcasting
/cast [help] Holy Light; [target=targettarget] Holy Light;

This macro saves you the trouble of casting Divine Favor before casting Holy Light. Divine Favor is automatically activated whenever it is up. You can replace Holy Light with Holy Shock to use it as an offensive spell.

Alternatively,

/cast [modifier:alt] Divine Favor; Holy Light;

This gives you more control over when you want to activate Divine Favor. Same here you can replace Holy Light with Holy Shock for DPS purposes.

> Blessing of Protection

/cast [help,target=target] Blessing of Protection; [target=targettarget,help] Blessing of Protection;

Same as the Taunt macro above, this casts Blessing of Protection on target’s target if you target is hostile and casts on your target if it is friendly. Useful for protecting casters being chased around by melees or bosses.
