This is the main reference for useful custom WoW Macros. See also User defined macros in Snippets and the useful Class macros in the 'nav bar' to the right. See also Classic WoW Useful macros (1.0).

Note: for new macros -- put candidates in the "New macros" section below here. Should be moved to a more specific section in "General macros", or place on a class specific macro page, after others verify they work as intended. Old Macros here can be moved and retired to the "Old macros" section when days are done or replaced.

General macros

Categorized list of generally useful custom macros.

Heroic Throw + Charge

/cast Heroic Throw
/cast Charge

• Use: This is a macro that puts in a little damage before charging...useful for PvP and PvE.
• Note: You can add some things to this....Try to mess around with it if you want to make it better!

Determine current map coordinates

/run px,py=GetPlayerMapPosition("player"); DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(format("You are at: %s (%0.1f, %0.1f)",GetZoneText(),px*100,py*100));

• Use: This macro will display in your chat frame your current map coordinates with one decimal place precision. "You are at:" is flavor text.

Swapping Talents, Equipment and Stances

Swap Current Dual-Spec

/run if( GetActiveTalentGroup() == 1 ) then DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Spec1...");SetActiveTalentGroup(2) else DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Spec2...");SetActiveTalentGroup(1) end
/in 6 /equipset [spec:2]Eq1;Eq2

• Credit: Earthsoul of Thunderhorn, many thanks to Desiday of Antonidas for inspiration
• Use: "Quickly" swaps your Primary/Secondary talent specs.
• Note: Also changes your equipped item set, only need to change the name of Eq1 and Eq2
• Requires: Libraries such as Ace or Chronos, that supply '/in' as a command, and will not work without.
• Works in 3.1.1

Swap Set then Spec

/equipset [spec:1] PSS ; SSS
/usetalents [spec:1] 2; [spec:2] 1

• Use: Here is one that switches the set before the spec (may avoid some errors).
• Note: Just have to replace PSS with the name of your primary spec set, and SSS with the name of your secondary spec set.

Swap Equipment and Stance

/equipset [spec:1] <Secondary Set Name>; <Primary Set Name> 
/cast [spec:1] <Secondary Stance>; <Primary Stance> 
/usetalents [spec:1] 2; 1

• Use: This macro will switch your talent spec and put you into the respective gear and stance.

Swap Equipment and Stance 2

#show [spec:1] <Secondary Stance>; [spec:2] <Primary Stance> 
/usetalents [button:1,spec:1] 2; [button:1,spec:2] 1 
/equipset [button:2,spec:1] <Primary Set Name>; [button:2,spec:2] <Secondary Set Name> 
/cast [spec:1] <Primary Stance>; [spec:2] <Secondary Stance>

• Use: Here is an alternate version for fury warriors that cannot use the above macro due to Titan's Grip.
• Note: Left click swaps the talent spec, right click swaps gear and stance.

 One Button Spec, Stance, Equipment

/cast [stance:3] Defensive Stance; [Stance:1] Berserker Stance
/usetalents [spec:1] 2; [spec:2] 1
/in 5.30 /equipset [spec:1] Tank ; DPS

• Use: A one button spec, stance and equipment interchanger, caters for Furry Warriors Titan's Grip

Offhand Weapon Switching

#showtooltip [mod] 0 16; 17
/equipslot 17 0 16

• Use: manage off-hand weapons
• Note: You might find yourself in a situation where you have two offhand weapons with the same name but different poisons on them and you want to switch between them quickly. Or perhaps you just want to alternate between two offhand weapons with just one hotkey.
• Keep your alternate dagger in the sixteenth slot (lower right corner) of your main (rightmost) backpack.
• The number 17 refers to your offhand weapon slot. #showtooltip makes the macro's icon and tooltip display the icon of the equipped weapon, or hold down a modifier key (say Alt) and it will display the icon of the weapon that's ready to be switched in.
• Works in 3.2.2

Suppressing Sound and Error Messages

No Error Text or Sound (Improved)

/run sfx=GetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX");
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/cast ExampleTrinket1
/cast ExampleSpell2
/run UIErrorsFrame:Clear() 
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX",sfx); 

• Credit: Xaeros of Shadowmoon
• Use: Replace "ExampleTrinket1" and "ExampleSpell2" with your cd(s) and abilities, then drag to your bar like a normal macro.
• Note: For people that macro cd's into normal spells, such as petattacks, trinkets, everlasting potions, etc. it gets annoying being spammed with "This ability is not ready" and that fun error sound. I've seen a common solution online (similar to the macro above) that fixes this problem with a single issue that's almost as bad as the problem it's fixing.
• For people who play without sound to begin with, these macro will -enable your sound- every time you use them. So here is my solution. The overall effect is the same, but my macro checks to see what you sound currently is set to (enabled or disabled), disables it for the error, and then sets it back where you had it. (ex: if your sound was already off, it will prevent the text error without turning your sound on at the end)
• Works in 3.3.3a

No Error Text or Sound (Improved Again)

#showtooltip ExampleSpell1
/run sfx=GetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX");
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/use ExampleTrinket2
/run UIErrorsFrame:Clear() 
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX",sfx);
/cast ExampleSpell1

• Credit: Vandalite of Feathermoon, and Xaeros of Shadowmoon for the macro this was based on.
• Use: Replace "ExampleTrinket2" and "ExampleSpell1" With your cooldowns and abilities, then drag to your bar like a normal macro.
• Note: This is just like the one above but with an added tooltip that matches the original skill, and doesn't disable sound for the skill's error messages. Sound and error messages for the trinket use are still suppressed though. If you set the name of the macro to a blank space, you can't even tell it's a macro. This one is designed more for trinket use than anything else, but it's here for when you only want to silence one of the two skills this macro uses
• If you're running low on characters and you're using this for a trinket, you can replace the use command with "use 13" (for upper trinket) or "use 14" (for lower trinket).
• Works in 4.2

Training and Leveling

/tar wiggling
/tar wild
/tar alluring
/tar tangled
/tar runty
/use seeds
/use dented shovel
/castsequence vintage bug sprayer,rusty watering can

Not really all that happy with this macro, best I could come up with maybe some one can tweek it a bit

• Basicly this macro works off of the mechanic that if you destroy and replant your crops eventually a bursting crop will spawn that can be instantly harvested. Make sure your standing in front of dirt/crop before you start and replace seeds in the macro with the full name of what ever seeds your are using.
• This macro has to be used in conjunction with Interact with NPC keybinding. Basicly key bind any key to interact with npc then just hit your macro key and interact with npc keys in sequence.
• The chances of getting bursting crops to proc is really low dont even attempt this unless your desperate and have the time and money to waste. You could also take out the dented shovel and use this method as a planting and maintenance macro till you get enough rep for the machines.

Autoassist tank if tank target can harm

• Use /focus to set focus on the main tank (or right click on the tank and select focus).
• Your target will be set to the main tank's target, but only if the tank is targeting an enemy which is alive.

Multi-Purpose Party/Solo Attack Spell

#showtooltip <spellname>
/cast [harm] [@targettarget, harm] [@focus, harm] [@focustarget, harm] <spellname>

• Use: Cast an attack spell with limited need to change target. Is not useful for AoE spells as they often do not use a direct target.
• Note: Replace <spellname> (including the <> signs) with the name of the ability you want to cast and don't forget to replace both places <spellname> shows up.
• Credit: Wu of Kael'thas
• Tested and working in 4.0.6

This macro works a little differently than some others, as it does not perform a change to your playstyle, but merely limits mouse clicks (if desired) and encourages coordinated assaults. This casts a spell or ability on a priority based target. If you are targetting an enemy, it will cast at your target; if you are targeting a friend who is attacking a mob, it will cast at their target; if you have no target, but your focus is a mob (i.e. boss fight), it will cast at the mob; and finally if you have no target but your focus is friendly and has an enemy target, it will cast at the enemy.

This has been particularly useful for our guild, allowing us to easily coordinate assaults without the requirement for mad AoE damage. Our Off-tanks typically select the main tank as their focus, while our DPS (ranged and melee) select their particular tank or off tank. When the focus changes targets, the DPS are immediately updated to the new target. Quite Handy! For soloing or special circumstances where each person needs their own target, the macros don't hinder us in anyway because it chooses OUR target first.

Example

#showtooltip Fire Blast
/cast [harm] [@targettarget, harm] [@focus, harm] [@focustarget, harm] Fire Blast

Multi-Purpose Party Healing

#showtooltip <spellname>
/cast [help] [@targettarget, help] [@focustarget, help] [@focus, help] [@player] <spellname>

• Use: Cast an healing/buff spell with limited need to change target. Is not useful for AoE spells as they often do not use a direct target.
• Note: Replace <spellname> with the name of the ability you want to cast. This includes the <>! And don't forget both places!
• Credit: Wu of Kael'thas
• Tested and working in 4.0.6

This macro works like the above, save the order of priority is switched a little (based on observed need). It can be used with a number of strategies, particularly when combined with the above macro. Priorities are as follows: If you are targeting a friendly, cast at them; if your target is targeting a friendly, cast at the friendly (useful for quick adds and bosses with random targeting); if your focus is targeting a friendly, cast at the friendly (useful for bosses); if your focus is friendly, cast at the focus; otherwise, cast at yourself.

Particular bonus when you are using the Multi-Purpose Attack Spell above, as it means you may keep the same person targeted for both healing and harming. You may also create awesome heal groups, for parties with weak AoE heals setting one person as the "main heal". These are just a couple of uses.

Just For Fun

Below are macros that serve no real purpose in-game beyond amusement.

Vanity Pets

Wheel O' Pets

/run q=C_PetJournal;v={q.GetNumPets()}r=random(v[2])p={q.GetPetInfoByIndex(r)}q.SummonPetByGUID(p[1])SendChatMessage("spins the Wheel O' Pets! The wheel stops on ["..r.."/"..v[2].."]: "..p[8].."!","emote");

• Credit Xaeros of Shadowmoon
• Use: Click to summon a random vanity pet. This macro has 49 free characters, so feel free to change your message. By default it says: "[player] spins the Wheel O' Pets! The wheel stops on [[random pet number]/[total pet number]]: [random pet's name]!
• Works in 5.4.7

Random Pet with Announce

/run q=C_PetJournal;v={q.GetNumPets()}r=random(v[2])g={"their","his","her"}x=UnitSex("player")p={q.GetPetInfoByIndex(r)}q.SummonPetByGUID(p[1])SendChatMessage("gasps as "..p[8] .." hops out of "..g[x] .." pocket!","emote")

• Use: Click to summon a random vanity pet. This macro has 33 free characters, so feel free to change your message. By default it says: "[player] gasps as [pet] hops out of [his/her] pocket! (The [his/her] is based on the character's gender)
• Works in 5.4.7

Random Pet with Dismiss

/run DismissCompanion("CRITTER"); CallCompanion("CRITTER", random(GetNumCompanions("CRITTER")));

• Use: This will first attempt to dismiss any vanity pet you have summoned, and then attempt to randomly summon a new one.
• Works in 3.1.2

/run local z;for i=GetNumCompanions("CRITTER"),1,-1 do local _,_,_,_,s = GetCompanionInfo("CRITTER",i); if s==1 then z=1;end end if (z==nil) then CallCompanion("CRITTER", random(GetNumCompanions("CRITTER"))) else DismissCompanion("CRITTER") end

• Use: This is a more advanced version of the above macro, as it first attempts to determine whether or not you already have a pet summoned. If not, it summons one, else it dismisses it. (Note: There's no IsMounted() equivalent for pets, hence the for loop)
• Works in 3.1.2

Summon random pet w/ salutation

/run local z;t="CRITTER"u=GetNumCompanions(t)v=random(u)for i=u,1,-1 do local _,_,_,_,s=GetCompanionInfo(t,i);if s==1 then z=1;end end if(z==nil)then c,n=GetCompanionInfo(t,v)SendChatMessage("Wow, it's a "..n)CallCompanion(t,v) else DismissCompanion(t)end

• Use: This is a compact version of the above macro that also sends a chat message stating what pet, you have summoned. All 255 characters are used, so you can only change the text in the SendChatMessage-part to a statement with the same amount of characters.
• Works in 3.3

Target's Gender

Have you ever wondered, "Is Razorscale a boy or a girl?", when directing a raid to attack "him" or "her"? Well now you can pronoun with confidence!

Maybe not the most "useful" macro, but a fun one :) Use this to discover your target's gender. You may be surprised, every once in a while Blizz slips up and flags Male NPCs as Female and vice-versa.

/run local x=UnitSex("target");local g={"n unknown!", " boy!", " girl!"} n=GetUnitName("target");if IsShiftKeyDown()then SendChatMessage(n .." is a" ..g[x],"SAY");else print(n .." is a" ..g[x]);end

• Use: Click the macro to print the target's gender. Shift+Click to announce in /SAY.
• Will not help in the Quest:Tails Up (Cats are flagged as unknown, Bears are all flagged male.)
• Works in 7.1

Raid Blame (now with Guild Blame!)

Have you ever been in a raid that had an unfortunate wipe? Has your raid ever been left wondering, "What just happened? Who should we blame this on?"? Well, wonder no more! With this macro blame can always be placed upon those who most deserve it with 100% accuracy! [NEW!] Too much blame to go around, and not enough raiders? Well now you can blame the whole guild!

/run x=GetNumGuildMembers(1)g=x>0 and GetGuildRosterInfo(random(1,x))or 0;y=GetNumRaidMembers()r=y>0 and GetUnitName('raid'..random(1,y))or 0;if IsShiftKeyDown()then c,b="Raid",r else c,b="guild",g end;SendChatMessage("[iBlame]: "..b..".",c);

• Use: Click the macro to blame any member of your guild in /guild ! (ex: [iBlame]: RandomGuildie)
• Use: Shift+Click the macro to blame any member of your raid in /raid ! (ex: [iBlame]: RandomRaider)
• Extra: This macro currently pulls a random guild member from the entire guild, if you'd rather only blame ONLINE members, change "x=GetNumGuildMembers(1)" to "x=GetNumGuildMembers(0)"
• Works in 3.3.3a

• Use:This macro uses Items from a fixed Bag slot so you can easily exchange the food (B1 Slot 20)/water (B1 Slot 16) you want to be consumed.
  • Default: this macro will use the item in slot 20 and 16 of the first bag (to the left of the bavkpack wich is zero) so you immediately start eating an drinking.
  • Modifiers: You can use the modifiers [alt] and [shift] if you only want to drink or eat. The Modifier alt also views a count of water currently in bag.
  • Buttons: btn1 is default; btn3 is similar to the shift modifier; btn2 is similar to the alt modifier.
