Tooltips: Wowhead Forever DB, exact matches only (build 70532, 28 Oct).

WoW Forever runs on a modern client API. Blizzard says combat-automation addons are restricted, but standard macros using /cast, conditionals and /startattack are part of every modern client. We have not checked each macro below in the Forever beta. [Unconfirmed] Spell names match the beta spellbook as described in Blizzard's notes and Wowhead's guides.

Judgement + Holy Strike

Wowhead's Ret guide suggests putting these two on one button.

#showtooltip Holy Strike
/startattack
/cast Judgement
/cast Holy Strike

Both skills are off the global cooldown as far as we know [Unconfirmed]. If the second cast fails, press the button again.

Crusader opener, then back to your main seal

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Seal of the Crusader; Seal of Command

Swap Seal of Command for Seal of Righteousness if your weapon is fast.

Mouseover heal (Holy)

#showtooltip Flash of Light
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][@player] Flash of Light

The same pattern works for Holy Light and Holy Shock.

Blessing of Freedom on yourself or a friend

#showtooltip Blessing of Freedom
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help][@player] Blessing of Freedom

Templar's Bulwark emergency button (Protection)

#showtooltip Templar&#x27;s Bulwark
/cast Templar&#x27;s Bulwark

Templar's Bulwark applies Forbearance, so it shares that lockout with Divine Shield.

Weapon swap (two-hander to sword and shield)

The 8 Oct build allows several weapon swaps in one GCD again.
