MacroKit

MacroKit adds ready-made macros for your class and talent spec to your macro list, and keeps them up to date as you level, train and respec. Made for World of Warcraft: Forever, with macros for all nine classes.

What it does

• Adds macros as you learn their spells. When you level up, visit a trainer or spend a talent point, MacroKit looks again: macros you can now use are added to your character's macro list (or, if you prefer, announced so you can add them yourself).
• Knows your spec from your talents. Forever has talent trees, so MacroKit reads how many points you have in each tree, the same way the game's talent window does, and offers that tree's macros. Before your first point, pick your spec in the window.
• Follows a respec, a reset or a dual-spec switch, switching to the new spec's macros and telling you. Macros it added for your old spec are never deleted without asking: a Clear them button does that.
• Explains itself on your action bars. Hover a MacroKit macro on your bar to see the spell's tooltip as usual, with what the macro does underneath.
• Never overwrites your own macros, and never goes past the 18 macros a character can hold.

The window

Click the minimap button or type /macrokit.

• Ready to use: macros whose spells you know, either already in your macros or ready to add.
• Not learned yet: macros waiting on a spell, each saying which.
• How it works: hover any macro to read exactly what it does, in plain English, and see the macro itself.
• A red badge on the minimap button counts new macros since you last looked.

Most macros follow one pattern: heals and buffs go on the friend under your mouse, else your friendly target, else you; attacks go on the enemy under your mouse, else your target. Many use Shift or Ctrl for a second spell.

Getting a macro onto your action bar

1. Click the MacroKit button on the minimap (or type /macrokit).
2. On the Ready to use tab, find the macro. If it says Ready to add, click Add: it goes into your macro list and then says In your macros.
3. Drag that line from the MacroKit window onto any action bar slot. You can also click it once to pick it up, then click the slot.
4. You can also open the game's own macro window with /macro: MacroKit's macros are on the character tab, and you drag them from there the same way.

With "Add new macros by themselves" on (the default), step 2 is already done for you; just drag. The window shows these steps too.

Classes

Warrior (Arms, Fury, Protection), Paladin (Holy, Protection, Retribution), Hunter (Beast Mastery, Marksmanship, Survival), Rogue (Assassination, Combat, Subtlety), Priest (Discipline, Holy, Shadow), Shaman (Elemental, Enhancement, Restoration), Mage (Arcane, Fire, Frost), Warlock (Affliction, Demonology, Destruction) and Druid (Balance, Feral Combat, Restoration). Each class has macros for every spec plus a few for each talent tree, using Forever's own spells (Bane of Agony, Penance, Riptide, Wild Growth, Victory Rush, Shank, Holy Strike and more).

Commands

Good to know

• Macros are saved on Blizzard's servers, so once added they follow your character even without the addon.
• The spell names come from Forever's spell lists. If a macro says it needs a spell you know you have, please type /macrokit spells and report what it lists.
