FAQ

Why use a focus interrupt macro?

A focus interrupt macro allows you to interrupt a specific enemy's cast without having to deselect your current target. This is particularly useful in Mythic+ when you need to maintain damage on one enemy while controlling another.

How does a mouseover crowd control macro help?

A mouseover crowd control macro enables you to instantly apply abilities like Psychic Scream to an enemy by simply hovering your cursor over them. This saves time by eliminating the need to click or tab target, making your reactions faster.

When should I use the defensive shift macro?

The defensive shift macro provides flexibility in urgent situations. Use Dispersion for significant incoming damage, and hold shift to quickly cast Power Word: Shield on yourself for smaller, more frequent damage mitigation.
