Why the macros are written this way

A macro here does one thing: it takes a step off your hands (a target change, a stance swap, a second key). It never decides for you, and one press is still one global cooldown. Every macro is built on one of these rules, named on its card.

Mouseover: A spell you cast on someone other than your target (a heal, a dispel, an interrupt, crowd control) shouldn’t cost you your target. The macro casts on the unit under your cursor and falls back to your target, so it still works as the plain spell.
Shift for the second spell: Two spells you never want on the same press (a single-target and an area attack, two traps, two wards) share one key: a press gives the one you use most, Shift the other. It saves bar space without hiding a choice from you.
Shift and Ctrl for more: Three spells of one family (your stings, your curses, your demons) fit one key: a press gives the one you use most, Shift and Ctrl the others. Past three it gets hard to remember, so we stop there unless Alt has an obvious job.
On yourself, whatever you target: Some spells you want on yourself right now, without dropping the enemy or the tank you have targeted. [@player] sends the spell to you and leaves your target alone.
A free cooldown first: One press can only start one global cooldown. Two spells go on one press only when the first doesn’t use it (Presence of Mind, Nature’s Swiftness, Bloodrage). We never chain two spells that both do: the second would just fail.
First choice, then fallback: Some abilities only light up now and then: after a kill, a dodge or a proc. The macro tries that one first; when it can’t be cast, the press goes to your everyday attack, so the key is never dead.
Start attacking: A melee ability that fails (no Rage, no Energy, out of range) leaves you standing still. /startattack turns on your auto attack with the press, so you keep swinging either way.
Pick a target first: A press wasted on “no target” or on a corpse is time lost. /targetenemy picks the nearest enemy, and the conditions in front of it ([noharm][dead]) only let it run when you have no live enemy targeted, so it never pulls you off the one you chose. [@targettarget] goes the other way: the spell lands on whatever your target is fighting.
On and off: An immunity is often worth ending early. The macro cancels the effect when it’s up and casts it when it isn’t, so the same key does both.
Fixed order: Used sparingly: only for two spells that always go in the same order. /castsequence casts the next one on each press and starts over when you change target or after a pause. We don’t build rotations with it, because a sequence can’t react to a miss or a cooldown.
Your own items: Weapon swaps and consumables go by item name, and only you know yours. The macro has a placeholder (Shield Name, Pet Food Name): replace it with the exact name of your item, as its tooltip spells it. /equip takes a weapon or shield in combat; /equipslot 16 is the main hand, 17 the off hand. Since Blizzard’s October 8 development notes, one press can again swap several weapons within the same global cooldown, a two-hander for a sword and shield for example. Forever has not announced a reversal; this has not been rechecked against client build 1.60.1.70862.

How to add a macro

Type /macro in chat, or open the Game Menu and choose Macros.
Press New, pick an icon (the question mark lets #showtooltip pick the spell’s own) and give it a name.
Paste the macro into the box and drag its icon to your action bar.

The spell names are the English client’s. Playing in Chinese? The Chinese pages give the same macros with the Chinese client’s names. Macros cast your highest rank, and that is deliberate: since Blizzard’s October 1 development notes, the character sheet says spells far below your level get less from your spell power and trigger class abilities and talents less often (Blizzard’s example: a Rank 1 Frostbolt at level 60 has a 0% chance to trigger Frostbite), so the Classic habit of downranking pays less in Forever. Forever has not announced a reversal; this has not been rechecked against client build 1.60.1.70862 spell tooltips. Spell and ability names come from the game client’s data, so they match that client. We have not run every macro in the live game; launch reports confirm plain /cast lines run and that a stance change plus an ability needs two presses. Player-name targeting and invites remain unverified.

Not confirmed yet

Mouseover and modifier conditions, pet commands, cast sequences, weapon swaps, and anything that targets or invites a player by name have not all been verified in the live game
Spells that change in later client builds; the pages are rebuilt when the client changes
