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)

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