SpellSmasher is a free, independent simple one-button macro sequencer addon and one-button macro addon for World of Warcraft Retail (Midnight).

You own a fixed list of spells. One mash key runs that list only — not Blizzard’s adaptive Single-Button Assist. Build packs in-game or on your phone at spellsmasher.com, mark Active, bind a key, and mash.

Under the hood it is a compile + secure runner: out of combat it bakes your list into a one-cast-per-click button; in combat it only presses what you put on the list.

The idea in one sentence

Spell list + talent package that fits that list + one key that plays it honestly.

What it does (player view)

1. Make or import a pack — Method starter, SpellSmasher Engine starter, or a site export
2. Set Active on the List tab (* ACTIVE)
3. Bind the mash key (1–0 bar or Key Bindings)
4. Match talents to the list — Best fills the guide talent package for that sequence; Apply pushes it into the game when Blizzard allows
5. Mash — one combat cast per press; the list always advances

Optional: edit modes, reorder spells, helpers, export backups.

Inside the product (how it actually works)

1) Starter packs that match class, spec, and hero path

• New pack asks for class, spec, and hero talent path (both Midnight paths per spec).
• Method — guide-style spell order with modes already set (Once / In order / Priority).
• SpellSmasher Engine — CD-aware mash order tuned for one-button play, still paired with the same Method talent package.
• Packs are built from dedicated multi-target / M+ style step lists when available (one list per pack — not dual ST+AoE keys).
• Lists are loadout-honest: spells that belong with that guide package, not random filler.

2) Best talents for your sequence

This is the talent side of “make the list and the tree agree.”

• Best looks at the spells on the current pack (class / spec / hero).
• It attaches the curated Method talent loadout string (CUk) that pairs with that guide for your class, spec, and hero path.
• It also checks which recommended talent names line up with spells already on your list so you can see the match.
• New Method/Engine packs and rebuilds auto-attach that talent string when one exists — so a fresh pack is not “spells only, figure talents out yourself.”
• Import from the site soft-fills Method talents if the pack has spells but no loadout yet.

Honest limit: Best is a curated package matched to the list, not a full sim that invents a brand-new tree every patch. You stay in control; the addon gives you the package that belongs with that sequence.

3) Apply talents into the game

• Apply first fills Best/Method talents if the pack is missing a string, then tries Blizzard ImportLoadout with a named loadout (e.g. SSM My Pack).
• If the client blocks auto-import, you get a Ctrl+C popup and paste into Talents → Import (same string).
• Method restores the guide CUk if you overwrote it.
• From me snapshots your live tree onto the pack (custom), without changing what mash casts.
• Copy always works for manual import.
• Mash never changes talents by itself — only when you choose Best / Method / From me / Apply / Copy.

4) Priority triangle (why top spells hit more often)

• Priority mode does not dump a multi-spell macro every click.
• Out of combat, the compile step expands Priority into a triangle (top of the block appears more often; bottom less).
• Editor shows % of Priority clicks so the weight is honest.
• Rev Pri uses the reverse triangle rhythm when you want it.
• One combat cast per mash keeps macros under the 255-character safe limit (helpers only if they still fit).

5) Once = once per combat

• Spells tagged Once fire on the first pass of the fight, then are skipped until you leave combat.
• Perfect for openers (brand, mark, burst setup) without repeating them every loop.
• In order still runs as a recipe every pass for the sequential block.

6) Secure mash runtime

• Built on a SecureActionButton so combat casting stays within Blizzard rules.
• Always advances after a step so mashing never stalls on a dead click.
• Combat casts use [nochanneling] so long channels are not clipped by spam.
• Only list spells are combat casts — no secret code-injected cooldowns.

7) Easy helpers (default Off)

• AA auto-attack, RT re-target, DEF defensive line — only when you turn them on and they fit.
• Shift modes: ignore / aoe / pause.
• Helpers never invent off-list damage spells.

8) Website ↔ game packs

• Wire format: !SpellSmasher!1!<…> (same as the site).
• Build on phone or desktop → Export → Import in /ssm.
• Export from the game for backup or to edit on the site.
• Import appends packs; it does not wipe your account list.

9) Step-by-step tour

• Help or /ssm help walks every major surface (List, New, Import, Edit, modes, tools, helpers, talents, bind).
• Tour docks beside the UI and switches tabs as you go.
• Skip / Off / Finish stops auto-show; Help restarts anytime.
