Focus and Arena Macros

These macros follow the same idea as party macros and eliminate the need to manually change targets every time. These are very useful for your CC. 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 as well as arena macros for some of the most important CC and expand the more you get used to it. As a Druid, the spells that benefit the most from such macros are Mighty Bash, Cyclone, and Entangling Roots.

Additionally, we strongly advise using our Solar Beam and Mass Entanglement focus macro, which is best used on healers as our interrupt which has a silence effect built into it. Be mindful as this can be negated if the enemy healer is playing as a Gnome due to Escape Artist.

Party Macros

As a Balance Druid, there are some spells given to you that can either help yourself or your team’s survivability. You’ll want to land these utility spells on the right target at the right time. In order to make it easier, you should make party1 and party2 macros, or use the names of your teammates. This way, you won’t need to change a target every time you want to cast a spell on an ally. If you go with player names, make sure you change the names in the macro every time you change teammates. These macros are best suited for Remove Corruption, Innervate, and Wild Charge.

Shifting Macros

Another unique feature that sets Druids apart from any other class is their ability to shift in order to escape roots or snares. The first macro shown below allows you to shift out of form off the global cooldown, providing a tactical advantage in various situations.

Another shifting macro functions like a cast-sequence macro, enabling you to shift into Bear Form and use Frenzied Regeneration with a single bind.

#showtooltip
/cast (place Mount Name here)
/cancelform

#showtooltip 
/cast [nostance] Bear Form 
/cast [form:2] Bear Form 
/cast [form:3] Bear Form 
/cast [form:1] Frenzied Regeneration

Healing Macros

Having macros to strengthen your survivability is crucial to your success, especially as a Balance Druid. Our only healing macro here groups together all on-demand healing abilities, which is a nice quality of life improvement to bind space. Recovering from danger becomes easier as it reduces the number of clicks needed to use Healthstone.

#showtooltip Renewal 
/cast Renewal 
/use Healthstone

Shadowmeld Macro

For most Balance Druids, you’ll be most commonly be playing as a Night Elf. This macro becomes highly desirable because of this as you’ll want to guarantee the use of Shadowmeld during precise moments. This allows you to react immediately, cancelling anything that may delay its effect.

#showtooltip 
/stopcasting 
/cast Shadowmeld
