holy paladin tips

[bloodstriker]

Hi, Paragon. I'd like to know if any of your holy paladins use any kind of healing helpful macros in 10/25m raids. I need to do better in cataclysm than in wrath where i couldn't quite help my guild get kingslayer. Also, if u can please tell what UI addons do u use so far only thing i've used is bartender lol and i see in your vids thats 1 addon you guys never use. (btw i would like a MS holy paladin answer because thats there first spec but ill take any answer atm)

[bloodstriker]

btw im sry if theres alrdy another post with an answer out.

PS: i saw ur healing guide in the guide page it said 1 macro and i will use it but i also didnt believe u guys only used 1 macro so that is another reason i posted my own

[plugandplay]

there are plenty of helpful macro's for holy paladins. Here are a few:

#showtooltip Arcane Torrent
/cast Arcane Torrent
/use Core of Ripeness
/use Figurine - Dream Owl

^ a torent with any regen trinket is always nice touch to avoid using dp in a sticky situation.

#showtooltip Divine Plea
/cast [nobutton:2] Divine Plea
/cancelaura [button:2] Divine Plea

click to cast dp, right click to cancel it if you need to resume healing.

#showtooltip Holy Light
/cast Holy Light
/cast Judgement

not the most effecient way to keep your judge regen up but it works.

/cast Hand of Salvation
/yell Casting Hand of Salvation on %t

let the people know

#showtooltip Holy Radiance
/cast Avenging Wrath
/cast Divine Favor
/yell Casting Holy Radiance come close.
/cast Holy Radiance

not a bad way to heal the shit out of the raid in a bad situation, but also saving an AW for your Guardian is really effective


So you can see there are lots of them out there but not having any macro's is just as effect if you have them key bound.

Some of the above macros can screw you over in certain situations, binding mana cd's all to one key provides no "oshit" factor when you really need one.

#showtooltip
/use [@mouseover,help][@target,help][] Holy Light

replace holy light with every healing spell and Hand spell you have. That will allow you to cast on a mouseover target if it is friendly, a target if it is friendly and yourself if none of the other two are met. Simple too the point and wont break with patch updates.

Do mouseovers really help in healing that much though? I generally just target whomever I want to heal using my Grid, and use Clique for my instant casts. Honestly I dont see mouseovers as a huge advantage, though I may be wrong, and please correct me if I am XD.

They're not an advantage, but I would find it very annoying to click every time I want to cast a heal. For the same reason I would never click any skills with my mouse.

I wouldn't recommend binding multiple cooldowns to a single key aside from AT+2min trinket.

Just a quick question for anyone that uses mouse-over.

I've tried making a number of mouse-over macros for grid using all kinds of different syntax and grid just simply doesn't allow me to hover and cast. Is there an option in grid preventing this or is there a separate add on you have to download to make grid usable to with hoverover? My holy pally is an alt so it hasn't been a major issues so far since he's only doing 5 mans and early bosses in 10 man normal but i'd like to be as efficient as possible regardless.

Back in the day I did use clique but if possible i'd prefer to use less add-ons overall and just make do with a smaller set of them so that the overhead on memory is lower.

Thanks a ton.

You can't bind a mouseover macro to a mousekey because frames absorb mouse clicks. So if you are binding them to a key and it follows the

Code: Select all

/use [@mouseover]

function you should have no problem.

This is the exact macro I made:

Code: Select all

#showtooltip Holy Shock
/cast [@mouseover] Holy Shock


I've also made one for flash and divine light that has the same syntax. When I mouseover a player in game it works fine but when I hover over a grid name and try to cast any of them nothing happens.

Are the macros bound to mouse buttons?
