Editing WoW:Useful macros (old) (section)

=== Template ===
This principle is for those of us who like to keep buttons as few as possible or to bind as much actions as possible.

 #showtooltip
 /cast [combat] [harm,nodead] <Badass spell>
 /cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead,exists] [help,nodead] [] <Fluffy spell>

or

 #showtooltip
 /cast [mod:ctrl,target=player] [target=mouseover,help,nodead,exists] [help,nodead] <Fluffy spell>
 /cast [harm,nodead] <Badass spell>; <Fluffy spell>

will select actions based on the situation.

The first template is better to combine with exclusively non-combat beneficial spells and items, like Arcane Intellect or food & water (see below). The second template is better for use with beneficial spells which you're likely to use in combat (any heal or blessing, for example). The [[Image:INV Misc QuestionMark.png|16px]] icon will allow you to see what exactly you're going to cast. Note that you can cast the beneficial spell on yourself by mouseovering the player frame, so "mod:ctrl" (or "alt") condition can better be used to modify the spells (example below).
