Party Macros

As a Restoration Druid, most of your macros will focus on supporting your allies as quickly as possible. These also involve landing your 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. You’ll be using these macros mainly for Nature’s Cure and Wild Charge.

Nature’s Cure

/cast [@party1] Nature's Cure

Wild Charge

/cast [@party1] Wild Charge

/cast [@party2] Wild Charge

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 and 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.

Mighty Bash

Shifting Macros

Another unique feature that sets Druids apart from any other class is their ability to use shifting 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 enhance your healing is crucial to success, especially as a Restoration Druid. Our first macro here specific to Restoration Druid is for Nature’s Swiftness, as this is an important cooldown to deliver massive burst healing. Using this macro makes using this ability simple, as this allows you to seamlessly land an instant cast Regrowth without having to press multiple binds.

Our second healing macro offers a nice quality of life improvement by grouping together all on-demand healing abilities. Recovering from danger becomes easier, as it reduces the number of clicks needed to use Healthstone.

#showtooltip 
/castsequence reset=1 Nature's Swiftness, Regrowth, Regrowth

#showtooltip Renewal 
/cast Renewal 
/use Healthstone

Talent Swapping Macros

For talent choice nodes, we recommend using these macros, which will automatically use either Mass Entanglement or Ursol’s Vortex from the first macro, as well as either Mighty Bash or Incapacitating Roar in the second one, depending on what talents you have chosen.

#showtooltip 
/cast [known:Mass Entanglement] Mass Entanglement 
/cast [known: Ursol's Vortex] Ursol's Vortex

#showtooltip 
/cast [known:Mighty Bash] Mighty Bash 
/cast [known: Incapacitating Roar] Incapacitating Roar

@Cursor and @Player Macros

There are a few abilities that require you to manually select the location you want to case them at. In the case of our Efflorescence macro, this reticle is removed entirely with the addition of a ping to help allies identify where it has been placed. If you add the “@cursor” condition, the ability to set it to will automatically be cast at your cursor’s location, whereas “@player” will cast it on your character.

#showtooltip 
/cast [@cursor] Efflorescence 
/ping

#showtooltip  
/cast [@player] Innervate

Shadowmeld Macro

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

#showtooltip 
/stopcasting 
/cast Shadowmeld
