Why should I use mouseover macros as a Discipline Priest?
Mouseover macros allow you to heal allies by simply hovering your cursor over their unit frame or character model, without needing to click and select them. This streamlines your healing process, letting you maintain focus on your primary target or enemies while still providing timely healing and Atonement.
Can I use mouseover macros for offensive spells?
While these specific examples are for healing spells, you can adapt the mouseover principle for certain offensive abilities if they can target allies (e.g., dispels) or if you want to target enemies without deselecting a friendly target. However, most offensive spells for Discipline Priests are typically cast on your current target.
