WoW Macro Generator: Build & Copy Perfect Macros in Seconds

Every macro is limited to 255 characters, including the #showtooltip line, spaces and punctuation. The generator's live counter shows exactly how much room you have left as you build.

/cast triggers a spell or class ability, /use activates an item such as a trinket or potion, and /equip switches a piece of gear. They behave differently inside a macro: multiple /use lines for different items can all fire on the same press, while /cast and /equip only ever resolve to one final action per press, which is why the generator merges those into a single priority chain automatically.

A macro executes the first Ability whose condition evaluates to true and stops there. Two unconditioned Abilities in the same macro will always resolve to the first one - give the second a Modifier (like Shift) or a condition (like combat or a target type) so the macro can tell them apart.

A mouseover macro applies an Ability to whatever unit your mouse cursor is currently over, without changing your selected target. It's the standard way healers heal party members from a raid frame and how many classes interrupt or dispel without breaking their current target.

Focus lets you lock in a second target separate from your main one, which macros can then reference with @focus. It's commonly used in PvP to track a healer or kill target while still fighting whoever you have targeted normally.

Together builds a macro where every action fires on the same button press, using conditions to decide which one applies. Sequential uses /castsequence to advance through a fixed list of Abilities one step at a time, moving to the next Ability each time you press the button.

Reset controls when the sequence jumps back to its first step. Common options are resetting when you change target, when you leave combat, when you hold Shift, or after a fixed number of seconds without pressing the macro again.

Yes. Set one action with no modifier and a second action with Shift, Ctrl or Alt selected as its modifier - the generator writes the modified action first so it takes priority whenever that key is held, falling back to the unmodified action otherwise.

Macros are a built-in Blizzard feature and are fully allowed. They combine and condition existing actions you could already perform manually - they don't automate combat decisions or play the game for you, which is what separates them from a scripting bot or a banned automation addon.

Yes. The commands and conditionals used here - /cast, /use, /equip, /castsequence and the bracket conditions - are part of WoW's core macro system and function the same way across Classic and every retail expansion, aside from spell names changing between versions.

Add a #showtooltip line (the generator does this automatically in Auto mode) so the macro icon and tooltip match your first Ability or Item. Without it, WoW shows a generic question-mark icon since it can't guess which action to represent.

Yes - this is one of the most common macro patterns, typically used to pop a trinket and a cooldown together. Add both actions in Together mode and they'll fire on the same key press.
