About the Author
This guide is currently written and maintained by
JuneMW
. She's been healing as a Mistweaver since Siege of Orgrimmar, taking small breaks over the years before she started Mythic raiding. During
Legion
's beta development, she began theorycrafting for the specialization, where she found one of her favorite hobbies: creating spreadsheets. She's currently a moderator in the
PeakOfSerenity
server, where she spends some of her time answering questions and helping players understand the specialization.
Macros
Macros are simple, in-game tools which allow you to sequence spells together, create custom names and icons, cast different abilities depending on whether the target is friendly or hostile, define targeting conditions, and much, much more. While the amount of options can be complex, making them is easy, so in this section we'll go over how to set them up yourself.
To open the in-game Macro interface, type "/macro" or "/m".
Choose between the General and Character-specific macro tabs. Then click the "New" button on the macro window.
Choose a Name and an Icon so you can easily recognize your macro, then click "Okay."
Select your new macro and use the text editor below to tell it what to do. If copying ours below, you can simply copy/paste the text in.
Click the "Save" button, and drag your macro icon onto your bars, which will allow it to be used just like any other spell from your spellbook.
To close the window, click "Exit", or just press Escape.
For more information on creating macros, including full lists of conditionals, modifiers, and other command customizations you can use, check out our full
Macros guide
.
Mouseover Macros
Targeting an ally before each and every healing spell you cast can slow you down, potentially resulting in one of your allies dying. Mouseover macros allow you to just hover your mouse cursor over a player's raid frame (or even their actual player model) and cast a spell that has them as the target. This has the added benefit of always letting you have a nearby enemy targeted for your damage-dealing abilities, giving you a seamless transition from healing back into dealing damage. A macro needs to be created for each and every ability you want to cast while mousing over an ally, quickly taking up limited macro slots.
To make a mouseover macro, use the following as a template, replacing
Soothing Mist
with the spell of your choice.
#showtooltip
/cast
One thing to note is that you must continue mousing over the ally you're channeling
Soothing Mist
on if you want to continue that channel while also casting a follow up spell, like
Enveloping Mist
and
Vivify
. If you do move your mouse from your
Soothing Mist
target, it could land on a different target, making those follow up casts want to cast on that new target rather than your intended target.
Channeling Macros
In raids, Mistweaver Monks want to spend as long as possible channeling
Essence Font
, but with
Rising Mist
talented, you want to
immediately
follow it up with a cast of
Rising Sun Kick
. This can lead to clipping issues, where the cast of
Rising Sun Kick
prevents
Essence Font
from completing its full channel.
Much like the above mouseover macros, this method requires a separate macro made for any spell that could possibly clip the end of a channeled cast.
#showtooltip
/stopmacro
/cast Rising Sun Kick
Addons
Addons are powerful tools that can be used to both customize your gameplay experience, ranging from graphical overlays, replacement action bars, and unit/raid frames, to performance enhancements such as rotation helping spell reminders, buff/debuff tracking, popup reminders, and boss warnings. Here are some of the highly recommended and commonly used Mistweaver Monk addons, which are certainly not required to play, but can go a long way toward increasing the information available to you in combat or simply make for a more pleasant viewing experience.
Unlike Macros, managing Addons is done outside of the game, but our
How to Install and Maintain Addons Guide
will take you step-by-step through the process.
Raid Frame Replacement
While it's come a long way, the default
World of Warcraft
raid frames are seriously lacking in presented information. With a limited number of buffs shown at a time, along with other customization options unavailable, the following replacements each try to improve upon the foundation Blizzard developed.
Grid2
bdUI
VuhDo
Shadowed Unit Frames
Mouseover Macro Replacement
Mentioned above in its section, one of the major drawbacks is creating a macro for every spell you want to have a spell cast on your mouseover target. There's an addon,
Clique
, that goes about to replace these macros entirely.
