Focus and Arena Macros

These macros follow the same idea as party macros and eliminate the need to manually change targets every time. They are very useful for CC and interrupts. While focus macros are easier to get used to and could be sufficient in most cases, arena macros are a lot more versatile as they allow you to interact with literally any opponent in the game at any point. The downside of making arena macros is the number of binds you will have to allocate. Not to mention, they are a lot more difficult to get used to. You could start by using focus macros for most of your abilities and arena macros for some of the most important CC, and expand the more you get used to it. As a Shaman, the spells that benefit the most from such macros are Wind Shear, Hex, and Purge.

Party and Player Macros

There are times where you need to apply the correct spell on your allies at the right time in order to keep your team stabilized. To streamline this process, you can make party1 and party2 macros or use the names of your teammates. As a Restoration Shaman, you could do this with Purify Spirit in order to dispel your teammates or yourself as quickly as possible.

Cursor Macros

There are a few abilities that require you to manually select the location you want to use them at. In case of Static Field Totem and Totemic Projection, you may want to eliminate this extra step to make your globals feel much smoother. If you add @cursor condition, the ability will automatically be cast at your cursor’s location, making your rotation feel a bit more streamlined.

Keep in mind that cursor macros can be a detriment to your performance, as it can be important to see the reticle before placing a totem or repositioning it with Totemic Projection.

Cancelaura

When playing with a Retribution Paladin and against Mages, you definitely want to get your hands on cancelaura macros, since they will try to steal some of your very useful utility. This is especially valuable for Blessing of Protection and Blessing of Freedom. Instead of creating a separate bind for it, you could add it to an already existing bind, for example – your mount.
