Macro for Shamans

Here are a few macros you can use to help improve your Shaman game play. These macros are specifically used for Restoration Shamans, but they can be adjusted to fit with other Shaman specs as well.

Cleanse Spirit/Purge Macro

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt, @player][help] Cleanse Spirit; Purge

The macro allows you to save one key bind by combining the two spells, Cleanse Spirit and Purge together. This can be helpful as these abilities are reactive abilities, therefore, it may be better to place these spells into comfortable and reachable keys. The macro automatically changes to the appropriate spell based on your current target. If you are targeting a friendly player, it will use Cleanse Spirit. If you are targeting a hostile player, it will use Purge on the target.
