Holy Priests do not possess a true interrupt spell. However, they can utilize various crowd control abilities to effectively disrupt enemy spellcasting, acting as a pseudo-interrupt. Macros can streamline the use of these abilities for quick and efficient cast prevention.
Starter macros

What spells can Holy Priests use as interrupts?
Holy Priests primarily use Holy Word: Chastise and Psychic Scream as their main disruptive abilities. Other talents or racial abilities like Glaive Toss (Nightborne) can also serve this purpose.
Why don't Holy Priests have a direct 'interrupt' spell?
Holy Priests are designed as a healing specialization, and direct interrupt abilities are typically reserved for damage-focused or tank specializations. Their crowd control tools serve as their primary method of spell disruption.
Can I use these macros for other crowd control spells?
Yes, the principles of these macros (mouseover, focus, arena targeting) can be adapted for other crowd control spells like Silence (if specced) or even racial abilities that can stop casts.
