WoW Macro Commands

acros allows you to create special commands at the touch of a button. There are many different ways macros can be used effeciently. There are fishing macros that can help you fish while you’re away, hunter macros that can help you target your enemy quicker or send your pets to attack. We will list as many useful macros as we can. Below is a brief explanation of how to create a macro and a few samples.

Creating a Macro

Type /macro, /m, or or click on the Macros button in the Main Chat Menu. A box will appear with your current macros. You should have no macros to start.

Click on “New” at the bottom of that box. Another box will pop up, with a place to enter the macro name and a choice of an icon for the macro.

Name your macro. Select a name that will make sense to you when you see it again. For example, “Assist”.

Select an icon. Let’s pick a sword.

Select “Okay” - You should now see the icon you selected (sword) along with your icon name in your current macros box (assist).

Now Left-Click on the assist icon to highlight it. There is a button there to change the name or icon for your macro if you later decide to rename it or select a different icon.

Once your assist icon is highlighted, move your mouse pointer into the “Enter Macro Commands” box. This is where you can type what you want the button to do when you press it. You will need to add a “/” in front of the command, if it is a slash command, just as you would enter in your text entry box.

Type “/Assist Name”.

Move your mouse pointer back over the sword icon (assist) and left-click and hold down the button over the icon.

Now, drag the icon over to an empty slot on your action bar.

To use your new macro icon, press the number associated with that action button, or right-click on the button itself.

You now have a macro button that will assist another player (Name) in their attack. When Name attacks a player or monster, press your Assist macro button and you will automatically select the same target Name is attacking.

Pet Attack Macro - This macro will send your pet to attack.
/script PetAttack();

Feed Pet Macro - This macro will take the item that is in slot #1 of your 4th bag and feed it to your pet.
/script if (not PlayerFrame.inCombat) then if (not
GetContainerItemLink(4, 1)) then OpenBag(4); else CastSpellByName(”Feed Pet”); PickupContainerItem(4, 1); end end
