WoW:List of emotes
Emotes are a special type of chat in WoW. The word "Emote" indicates that you are communicating an action, not directly saying something.
The following is a list of Emotes that can be used in the game. These emote commands can also be used in macros.
Some of them have associated animations and sound;
- if the table has an 'X' in the Anim column, it means it has an associated animation.
- if the table has an 'X' in the Voice column, it means the command has an associated voiced saying.
This table also shows the difference in what will be communicated depending on whether you have a target selected or not.
