Macro Basic (WoW Classic TBC)

Macro Basic is a lightweight utility addon for World of Warcraft Classic: The Burning Crusade that makes importing useful class and general macros fast and painless.

If you’re tired of rebuilding the same macros every time you create a new character — or helping friends set up theirs — this addon is built for you.

** REQUESTING FEEDBACK ON MACROS. I AM ACTIVELY UPDATING & TESTING MACROS FOR FUNCTIONALITY & USEFULNESS BUT DO NOT HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH MACROS FOR ALL CLASSES. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK IN THE COMMENTS SECTIONS. I WILL TAKE ALL COMMENTS INTO CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU! **

🔹 What It Does

Macro Basic provides:

✅ One-click import of class-specific macro sets
✅ Optional general utility macros
✅ An “All” tab to view every available macro at once
✅ Smart duplicate detection (skip, rename, or overwrite)
✅ Character-specific or Account/Global import options
✅ Safe handling of macro caps (no silent failures)
✅ Export box for easy manual copy/share
✅ Minimap button + slash commands

Everything is built specifically for WoW Classic TBC (Burning Crusade Classic) and uses the correct macro API for that client.
