Shadow Priest DPS Macros and Addons - Dragonflight 10.2.7 (2024)

If you are looking for Macros for any conditional talents, the only thingpossible right now is to just put the base spell on your bar. It willautomatically switch to the other choice when changing your builds once you haveit set.

• #showtooltip
• /cast [@player] Angelic Feather

This is a simple macro that will always cast Angelic Feather at yourfeet.

• #showtooltip
• /cast [known:121536,mod:shift,@player] Angelic Feather; Power Word: Shield

This macro simply combines Angelic Feather and Power Word: Shield withone macro, so you can easily use both with mostly the same keybind. This hasdefault press Power Word: Shield, or pressing the same keybind with Shiftcasts Angelic Feather.

• #showtooltip
• /castsequence [known:121536,@mouseover,help,nodead][known:121536,@player]reset=6 Power Word: Shield, Angelic Feather, Angelic Feather, Angelic Feather;Power Word: Shield

This is another version of a movement macro that lets you spam the buttonover and overto cast the right movement spell, starting with Power Word: Shield. If youare lookingfor something simpler and do not want a mod:shift one, you can try this one outinstead.

• #showtooltip
• /cast [@INSERTPLAYERNAMEHERE,help,nodead][] Power Infusion
• /cast [@player] Power Infusion

When using Twins of the Sun Priestess, this is a useful macro tocast Power Infusion on an ally to make sure your group gets the most outof it.You will need to manually type in the player you wish to give Power Infusion to,but it should handle if the target is out of range of you to still cast it onyourself. If you want to cast it on different players throughout an encounterI would suggest replacing @INSERTPLAYERNAMEHERE with @mouseover and mousingover the target you want to give it on for each cast.

If you are having issues with this sometimes not working correctly, you shouldtry to avoid spamming the macro when you want to cast it. If you queue the macroas an action mid-cast of something else, it can short-circuit.

If you find yourself editing the macro often to swap who you are giving Power Infusion to, you can use the below combination of macros to make thiseasier.

The first macro requires you to target the player you want to give Power Infusion to. When clicking the macro, it will then update thesecond macro with the name of the target so you do not need to manually type it in.

• /run local n=UnitName("target") or "player" if not InCombatLockdown() then EditMacro(GetMacroIndexByName("PI"),nil,nil,"#showtooltip\n/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][@"..n..",exists,nodead][] Power Infusion\n/use 13") print("PI Updated to "..n) end

The second macro will be automatically edited and overwritten whenclicking the first macro. If you want to change anything in this macro, youmust change it in the first one. You MUST name this second macroPI in order for it to work properly.

This macro will be the one you actually end up binding to your barsand pressing. It will cast Power Infusion on your mouseoverif it exists and is alive, then the Player you selected with the first macro,and finally yourself if the first two conditions failed. It will also use yourtrinket in the top slot, if you want to use the trinket in the bottom slotinstead change it from 13 to 14 on the last line.

• #showtooltip
• /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][@PLAYERNAME] Power Infusion
• /cast Power Infusion
• /use 13

• #showtooltip
• /cast [mod:alt,known:32375] !Mass Dispel; [spec:3,@mouseover,help,nodead] Purify Disease;[@mouseover,help,nodead] Purify; [@mouseover,harm,nodead] [harm] Dispel Magic;[spec:3] Purify Disease; Purify

This gives you one button in-game that handles all of your dispel needs across the Priest specs.Alt is used for Mass Dispel; if the target is an enemy, it uses Dispel Magic, andthe default case is either Purify Disease or Purify.

If you are just looking for a simple mouseover for one of these, you can use this instead:

• #showtooltip
• /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][] Purify Disease

Simple Mass Dispel Cursor Macro:

• #showtooltip
• /cast [@cursor] Mass Dispel

• #showtooltip
• /cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Shackle Undead

This is a simple mouseover macro for Shackle Undead that can be useful forhandling the Incorporeal.

This macro offers a one-button solution for either Mind Control or Dominate Mind.Clicking it without an active pet will cast either spell on your current target. If you have an activepet Mind Controlled, it will instead dismiss it.

• #showtooltip
• /petdismiss
• /cast [known:Mind Control] Mind Control; Dominate Mind

• #showtooltip
• /stopmacro [channeling:Mind Flay: Insanity]
• /cast Mind Flay

This is a pretty simple macro that does not let you cancel an activelychanneled Mind Flay: Insanity with a Mind Flay cast. If youwould like to prevent canceling Mind Flay: Insanity with other spellcasts you will need to make a new macro for each spell, here is one for Mind Blast as an example:

• #showtooltip
• /stopmacro [channeling:Mind Flay: Insanity]
• /cast Mind Blast

This can also be done with Void Torrent:

• #showtooltip
• /stopmacro [channeling:Mind Flay: Insanity]
• /stopmacro [channeling:Void Torrent]
• /cast Mind Blast

With these kinds of macros it will only cast Mind Blastif you are not channeling Mind Flay: Insanity or Void Torrent.This can be useful if you like to spam your buttons.

• #showtooltip
• /cast [known:Void Eruption] Void Eruption; Dark Ascension

If you would like to have one keybind for your talent choice nodes, you can dosomething like theabove. This will automatically change the tooltip of that spell after pressingit once after re-talenting.The example is for Void Eruption and Dark Ascension, but it can beused for anything.

• #showtooltip Silence
• /cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Silence

This is a basic macro I would suggest to anyone playing a spec with a kick.It prioritizeskicking your focus target and then defaults to your current target if you do nothave a focus.You can also add mod:shift as an extra conditional if you only want to kick yourfocus targetwith a keybind used.

• #showtooltip Dispersion
• /cast Dispersion
• /cancelaura Dispersion

This macro serves as a way to both cast Dispersion and also tocancel it. The first press of the macro will cast Dispersion, and thesecond press will remove the buff from you. This is useful in cases where youdo not need the damage reduction for the full 6 seconds, as you are unable tocast spells when under the effects of Dispersion.

• #showtooltip
• /cast [@cursor] Shadow Crash

This macro casts Shadow Crash at the location of your cursor on thescreen without having to click your mouse on the ground. This is highly suggestedfor all Shadow Priests to reduce the delay between the pressing the ability,and pressing on the ground. That delay could cause problems if the mob is movingand not timed well.

• /console cameraSmoothTrackingStyle 0

This is not a macro, but a console command that will prevent Mind Flay from spinning your camera when it channels. This can be veryhelpful for players who find the camera interference annoying.

• #showtooltip
• /cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead] [] Shadow Word: Pain

• #showtooltip
• /cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead] [] Vampiric Touch

These macros cast Shadow Word: Pain and Vampiric Touch at yourcurrent mouseover target without having to target their nameplate directly.This is particularly useful in multi-DoT situations in council bossscenarios.

If you want to see the exact addons and setup I use, you can watchthis video to see how I configuremy addons as a Shadow Priest.

Boss mods are addons that warn you about boss abilities and give youlive advice on how to handle some mechanics. We strongly recommend you toget one such addon. At Icy Veins, we mostly useDeadly Boss Mods,the most popular boss mod. A good alternative isBig Wigs.

WeakAuras is anextremely useful addon that allows you to have visual effects on your screen,helping you track your buffs, debuffs and cooldowns. It is highly customisableand it can make it much, much easier to keep track of your procs and play yourspec more proficiently. It can also be used for a variety of otherfunctions.

"Details!" Damage Meter is a real-time DPS/HPS meter with a lot of additional functionality such as being able to see cooldowns, buffs, debuffs, damage done to specific targets, and statistical analysis. In our opinion, it is superior to Skada in terms of functionality, although it is slightly more complicated to configure. We recommend Details! as your default damage meter, but if you prefer something easier, then Skada is still a good option.

Twintop's Insanity Baris a fully customizable bar that allows you to track yourInsanity on top of many other great features. This addon is highly recommendedas it provides you with everything you need to know when playing your ShadowPriest.

WeakAuras 2is probably the most useful addon for any class in the game these days,providing you with an easy way to track all kinds of useful things you need onyourcharacter. If you are looking for a package for Shadow Priest, check outthe oneI made on Wago.

Below, you will find some suggested WeakAuras for Shadow Priest:

• Publik's Shadow Priest Package
• Simple Cast Bar Replacement
• Potion and Healthstone Tracking
• Season 4 Set Bonus Buff Tracking
• Void Eruption + Void Bolt
• Umbrelskul's Fractured Heart Details Integration

PlaterNameplates gives you a fully customizable nameplate addon with amazingfeatures that work great on default settings. As a DoT class, this is amust-have to be able to easily track DoTing in multi-target scenarios.

Below, you will find some suggested Plater mods and profile for Shadow Priest:

• Vampiric Touch Nameplate Color Changer
• Devouring Plague Nameplate Color Changer
• Publik's Plater Profile (Includes the VT Color Changer)

MethodRaid Tools (formerly known as Exorsus Raid Tools) is a large suite of manytools helpful in lots of different scenarios, but for Shadow Priestsspecificallythe built-in Time to Die tracker is the reason we recommend this. Trackingexactlywhen a target will die is crucial when planning cooldown usage.
