WoW Forever Priest Guide: Macros, Talents & Maps

Heals and shields

6 macros

Your everyday keys. Most follow one rule: the ally under your mouse first, then your friendly target, then you. Keys with an Alt row cast on you while you hold Alt.

Binding Heal or Flash Heal

One heal key: Binding Heal on your friendly target (it heals you too), or Flash Heal on yourself when you have no friendly target.

Press: Enemy, dead or no target: Flash Heal on you

#showtooltip
/cast [help,nodead] Binding Heal; [@player] Flash Heal

Notes and test 5

Uses your selected target only. Hovering a unit frame does not change it.
Targeting yourself counts as friendly and picks Binding Heal. Clear your target to get the self Flash Heal.
If Binding Heal fails on range or line of sight, it does not fall back to Flash Heal.
Forever's Binding Heal has no cooldown, a 1.5 sec cast, and is tuned to match Flash Heal even when you are not hurt.
Binding Heal is a 16-point Holy talent: level 25, or 20 with the Talented perk. Flash Heal is level 20.

TestTarget a living ally and press once. Clear your target and press again; you should Flash Heal yourself.

Downranking

2 macros

Forever keeps spell ranks, with a catch: ranks far below your level get less bonus healing and a lower chance to trigger talents. Use low ranks on purpose, not by habit.

Pick your ranks

Train the rank, then read its mana cost and heal size in your spellbook with your normal gear on.
Compare healing that actually lands against mana spent. Overhealing is wasted mana.
Keep your biggest heal on a plain press for dangerous damage. Drop to a lower rank only when you know it is enough.
If you rely on talent procs, test them on the low rank too. Forever lowers the trigger chance on old ranks.
Check again after leveling, new gear, a respec or a beta patch.

Best wand at every level

For a Horde priest. DPS is the tooltip number before Wand Specialization (2 points, +25%). Since September 24 your spell power no longer adds wand damage, so the wand's own DPS is what counts; its +healing still helps your heals.

? means beta sources disagree. Tooltips also disagree on the Gravestone Scepter, Necrotic Wand and Sizzle Stick, so check the tooltip before you farm one. Levels above 30 can't be tested in the beta, and how you get those wands at launch is unconfirmed. Sources: Wowhead Forever item, quest and recipe data, and the Zockify priest leveling guide.

Horde racials

Forever gives every priest race two racial priest spells. Horde priests are Troll or Undead.

Troll: Hex of Weakness

TestHex a mob by mouseover before it reaches the tank.

No macro needed

Drag these straight from your spellbook to a bar. A macro adds nothing.

Inner FireSelf buff, level 12. Forever's Improved Inner Fire adds armor and charges.
ShadowguardTroll priest spell, level 20. Self buff with charges.
Touch of WeaknessUndead priest spell, level 10. Self buff that punishes the next melee hit.
Dark SacrificeUndead priest spell, level 20. Trades your health for mana over time; scales with Spirit.
Shadowform(plain)If the ! version above misbehaves, the spellbook button works fine.
Will of the ForsakenUndead racial. Breaks charm, fear and sleep. Forever dropped Era's immunity window after it.

Dwarf: tracking swap plus Find Treasure

A plain press flips herbs and ore. Ctrl turns on Find Treasure.

Notes and test 2

Find Treasure is a Dwarf racial, so Horde priests don't have it.
Beta players report Find Treasure can stay on next to herb or ore tracking, so it gets its own Ctrl press instead of a step in the swap.

TestCtrl-press once, then plain-press twice and watch the minimap.

PvP in Forever

Honor comes from player kills, battlegrounds and PvP quests. Rank Points move you up 14 ranks toward High Warlord, with a weekly cap.
Weekly season tasks give Honor and Rank Points; three per season also give Legacy Points.
Rank 2 unlocks a PvP trinket. Later ranks unlock gear, upgrade tokens, mounts and rank 14 weapons. Honor caps at 25,000.
Battlegrounds: Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin, Alterac Valley and the new Darkspear Islands. Launch brackets aren't confirmed.
Darkspear Islands, levels 30 to 60, is 15 against 15: hold four bases and carry the center flag to one you own. 2,000 points wins. Horde earn Darkspear Raiders reputation for gear and an Exalted tabard.
On the PvP ruleset, contested zones are open faction combat, one account plays one faction there, and groups and dungeons stay within the ruleset.
Not confirmed yet: rank decay, weekly thresholds, rated PvP and dishonorable kills. Don't assume Era rules.

Your PvP tools

Psychic Scream(14)Fear the melee off you, then move to cover before they recover. Damage can break it.
Power Word: ShieldSoak burst while a teammate crosses open ground.
Fear Ward(20)Ward whoever's next action matters most. Two priests: ward different people.
Dispel Magic(18)Strip a magic buff before your team bursts. It can't remove every immunity.
Mana Burn(24)Drain a healer's mana while you are safe to cast. Stop if your team needs heals.
Mind Control(30)Pull an enemy off a teammate or objective. Your body stands still, so have someone guard you.
Will of the ForsakenUndead: breaks charm, fear and sleep. No immunity after it in Forever, so you can be feared again at once.
Hex of WeaknessTroll: 20% less healing on your kill target before the burst.
Silence and Vampiric EmbraceShadow: lock out a healer during your burst; Embrace the enemy you are damaging to heal your party.
FadeOnly drops threat with NPCs and guards. Players keep attacking you.

Consumables and gear swaps

5 macros

Healthstones and potions are on separate 2 minute cooldowns in Forever, so one press can use both. Use modifiers when you want exactly one. Weapons swap in combat; armor only out of combat.

All-in self heal

One press tries your healthstone and healing potion, then a Flash Heal on you. It won't cancel a cast already going.

Notes and test 3

Healthstones and potions have separate 2 min cooldowns in Forever, so a fresh press spends both. Whatever is on cooldown is skipped.
Change the names to what you carry. A level 30 warlock can make you a Lesser Healthstone; Greater Healing Potion needs level 21.
A bandage can't join this key: it is a channel, and the Flash Heal would cancel it.

TestOut of combat with both items in your bags, press once: both go on cooldown and Flash Heal starts.

Notes and test 4

If you hold two modifiers, Shift wins over Ctrl, and Ctrl over Alt, so only one thing fires.
A bandage is an 8 sec channel that damage interrupts, and it leaves 60 sec of Recently Bandaged on you.
Healing potions are made with First Aid in Forever, according to beta guides, not Alchemy.

Each press casts the next spell in the list. A step only moves on when its spell lands: if it is out of range, on cooldown or blocked, the same step fires on your next press. Lists start over after their reset and when you die. A macro can't press itself, so every step is a key press.

Swap herb and ore tracking

Each press flips the minimap between herbs and ore.

Only one can be on at a time, so this flips between them. It can't switch on a timer by itself; that takes a key press each time.

Talents and Legacy

Talents start at 10, one point a level, 51 by level 60. Forever's Legacy perks can add points early, so each build says what it assumes. Points read Discipline / Holy / Shadow.

Legacy picks for a priest

Legacy is Forever's account-wide progression: you earn points from challenges, and each character spends them on perks. For a priest leveling in the beta, buy them in this order.

Well RestedRested XP builds faster and caps higher. Buy it first: Talented needs it.5 points
TalentedTalents start at 5 instead of 10, so you have 26 points at 30: enough for Penance and Spirit Tap.5 points
Thrill of AdventureOutdoor killing blows give back health and mana. Great for questing; nothing in dungeons.5 points
Field MedicineA shorter Recently Bandaged outside dungeons, so you bandage more and drink less.1 point
The Quick and the DeadFaster corpse runs and free buffs after a rez. Swap it in for group play.2 points
Reagent EconomyNo vendor reagents for class spells, handy once you have prayer buffs at 48. Needs 10 points in Resourcefulness first.1 point

The beta handed out 16 Legacy points on October 8: Well Rested 5, Talented 5, Thrill of Adventure 5 and Field Medicine 1 uses all 16. Launch points, prerequisites and reset costs aren't confirmed, so check the Legacy panel before you spend.

Dungeons by level

Recommended party levels, not entry limits; the bar shows where each dungeon sits from 10 to 60. Pick up the Horde quests before you go: the rewards are often better than the drops.

Era data rows are Classic quests and drops not yet checked in Forever. Deadmines and the Stockade are deep in Alliance land with no Horde quests, so they are left out. Dungeon kill XP went up about 20% on October 8; a much higher-level friend in the group can still stop everyone getting XP.

Is there a Horde Wintersaber?

Not confirmed. No source shows a Desolace raptor grind in Forever. The Horde counterpart players remember is the Venomhide Ravasaur from Un'Goro Crater, which arrived in Wrath of the Lich King. Forever's database lists the mount and its faction, but not how to get them.

Mount: Whistle of the Venomhide Ravasaur
Faction: Ravasaur Trainers
Started, in Wrath: Mor'vek, southeast Un'Goro Crater
Forever status: In the database; how to get it is unknown

Don't plan around Wrath's 20-day quest chain yet. PvP ranks also unlock mounts in Forever. If Blizzard announces a Horde reputation mount before launch, this panel gets updated.

Training and gold

Where to train, what each level brings, and what can wait so you have gold for your mount. Every level with something new is listed, from 1 to 60.

Horde priest trainers

OrgrimmarUr'kyo, X'yera and Zayus, Valley of Spirits
UndercityAelthalyste, Father Lankester and Father Lazarus, War Quarter
Thunder BluffFather Cobb, Malakai Cross and Miles Welsh, Pools of Vision, under Spirit Rise
DurotarKen'jai and Tai'jin, Valley of Trials; Razor Hill
Tirisfal GladesDark Cleric Duesten and Dark Cleric Beryl, Deathknell church; upstairs in the Brill inn

Ranks you can skip

Always keep your best efficient heal, emergency heal, Shield, Renew, buffs, dispels and Resurrection.
Utility you won't use can wait: Mind Soothe and Mind Vision, plus Mana Burn and Mind Control outside PvP.
Don't skip your leveling damage spells just because you have a wand.
Forever cuts the bonus on very low ranks. Compare heal size, mana and overheal before you keep an old rank on a bar.
October 8 changed Smite, Lesser Heal and Heal scaling, so Era downranking tables are out of date.
City trainers reset talents and Legacy perks. Beta resets have been cheap; launch costs aren't confirmed.

Above 30 the list comes from Forever's database and isn't playable yet. Some top ranks may come from books or quests, not the trainer.

Your first mount

Level: 40 for normal mounts in Forever's item data; the riding requirement isn't confirmed
Save up: About 100g: Era was 20g riding plus 80g for the mount
Troll raptors: Zjolnir, Sen'jin Village, Durotar
Undead horses: Zachariah Post, Brill, Tirisfal Glades

Forever's tooltips mark several mounts as account-wide and usable by any race of your faction. Costs and reputation rules aren't confirmed. Epic mounts at 60 cost 1,000g in Era.

Gear and consumables

What to stack at each stage, healer gear to aim for by 30, and what to carry. The level 30 list is beta data; the level 60 list is Classic Era.

What stats matter, and when

Stage	What to stack	Why
Leveling 1 to 30, wanding	Wand DPS, then Intellect and Spirit, then Stamina	Wand damage and mana return cut your drinking.
Dungeon healing	Healing power, then Intellect and Spirit; mana per 5 on long pulls	Heals big enough for the job, with mana left for the next pull. Meditation makes Spirit count while casting.
Shadow	Spell damage and enough spell hit, then Intellect and Spirit	Match gear to how much you actually cast. Forever's hit cap isn't confirmed.
PvP	Stamina and Intellect, then healing or spell damage	Staying alive comes first.

Healer gear to aim for by 30

Horde-reachable options with a level requirement of 30 or less. Pristine pieces are new Tailoring crafts that bind on pickup, so make them yourself. Trinkets worth chasing before 30 need Engineering, so they're left out.

Gear planner

Pick a piece for each slot and watch your healing stats add up, armory style. The level 30 set is Forever beta data; level 60 is Classic Era's pre-raid list, so check tooltips at launch.

0Healing scorein Intellect points, using the healing sheet's weights

Items and stats: Wowhead's Forever database; pieces Forever doesn't list yet use Classic data and say Era data. Score weights: 1% spell crit 5.26, 1 mana per 5 sec 1.70, 1% haste 1.61, 1 Intellect 1.00, 1 Spirit 0.88, 1 healing 0.74; spell power counts as healing. Source: Healing sheet.

Healing in groups

How a priest keeps a five-player group alive: what to dispel first, how to set up party frames, and habits that prevent wipes.

Dispel in this order

Control on the healer or tank first, like Wailing Caverns sleeps. A dying player still comes first.
Then dangerous magic damage or healing reduction.
Then roots and slows on anyone who has to move.
Diseases before they stack, like Ghoul Plague in Ruins of Lordaeron. Cure Disease comes at 14.
Enemy buffs last, like the Skeletal Mages' Frost Armor, and only with mana to spare.
Priests can't remove poisons or curses. Ask a druid, shaman or mage.

Set up your party frames

Press Esc, open Edit Mode and select Party Frames. Turn on Use Raid-Style Party Frames.
Move them near the middle of your screen, big enough to read debuff icons, and save.
In the frame settings, turn on Display Class Colors and Display Power Bars.
Turn on debuffs and the dispellable-only filter, but keep a full debuff view somewhere for poisons, curses and mechanics.
Put this guide's mouseover heal keys on your bars. Hover a health bar and press: the frames alone don't do mouseover casting.
Test a heal and a dispel in a group before the dungeon, then save again. Option names can differ by build.

Habits that prevent wipes

Prepare the pull. Fortitude up and a shield on the tank. Shields no longer starve warrior or bear rage.
Time Fear Ward. Ward the tank before a known fear. In Forever it blocks one fear, lasts 3 min and has a 3 min cooldown, so take turns with other priests.
Call mana breaks. Tell the tank you're drinking. In a long fight, drink a mana potion early, not at zero.
Keep line of sight. Follow the tank around corners before you need to heal, and stay in range.
A mob on you? Fade, then step toward the tank.
Own your Shackle. Agree on the marked undead, keep damage off it, and refresh before it breaks.
Heal with purpose. Start a heal before a predictable hit, cancel overheals when safe, and leave gaps for mana.
Prayer of Healing at 30. Use it when several in one party are hurt. In Forever it heals the target's party.
Stay alive. Healthstone, shield or Flash Heal on yourself before you drop, not after.
Rez in order. Anyone who can rez others first, then the tank, then everyone else. Rebuff before the next pull.
Save Inner Focus. If talented, spend it on an expensive heal like Prayer of Healing.
Spirit of Redemption. If you have it, keep healing for its 15 seconds after you die.

Healing math

What a point of each stat is worth, and how far each heal stretches your mana, from the community healing sheet. It models one level-60 raid healer with raid buffs: use it to compare gear and spells, not as exact numbers or level-30 weights.

What a stat is worth

Measured in Intellect: a point of Intellect is 1.00. Use it to compare two pieces of gear.

1% spell crit 5.26Crits heal for 150%. Direct-heal crits also trigger Inspiration, and Divine Aegis if you took it.
1 mana per 5 sec 1.70Mana every 5 seconds, casting or not.
1% haste 1.61Faster casts and global cooldown. Rare on gear before 60.
1 Intellect 1.00Mana pool and a little crit. The yardstick.
1 Spirit 0.88Regen; Meditation keeps half of it while you cast.
1 healing 0.74Bigger heals, scaled by each spell's coefficient.

Which heal stretches your mana

Spell	Heal per mana	Heal per cast second	Effective per mana	Effective per cast second	Overheal guess
Prayer of Mending (5 hits)	18.49	3,173	15.72	2,697	15%
Binding Heal	8.15	1,858	6.11	1,394	25%
Renew	7.19	1,417	5.39	1,063	25%
Penance	7.16	1,033	5.37	775	25%
Greater Heal	5.99	1,178	4.50	883	25%
Prayer of Healing (5 hits)	5.24	1,619	3.41	1,052	35%
Holy Nova (5 hits)	5.22	2,113	2.87	1,162	45%
Flash Heal	4.07	929	3.06	697	25%
Power Word: Shield	2.75	743	2.61	705	5%

Per second means per second of casting: Renew heals over 15 seconds and Prayer of Mending only as it bounces. Effective numbers subtract the sheet's overheal guess. Prayer of Mending assumes all 5 bounces land and Binding Heal that you needed the self-heal. No single build has every spell: Prayer of Mending is a 31-point Holy talent and Penance a 21-point Discipline one.

What the sheet assumes6

Stats: From gear: 715 healing, 315 Intellect, 4% spell crit, 40 mana per 5, 249 Spirit. With buffs: 799 healing, 422 Intellect, 19% spell crit, 117 mana per 5, 336 Spirit, 6,331 mana.
Buffs: Mana Spring Totem, Divine Spirit, Arcane Intellect, Mark of the Wild, a 3% crit aura, Blessing of Wisdom and Blessing of Kings. Forever lets Undead be paladins, so a Horde raid with a paladin gets both blessings too; without one, your mana and stats run a little lower.
Consumables: Brilliant Mana Oil and a top mana potion on cooldown; no flask.
Talents: Holy 31: Improved Renew 3, Holy Specialization 5, Divine Fury 5, Inspiration 3, Improved Healing 3, Litany of Light 2, Spiritual Guidance 5, Spiritual Healing 3, Binding Heal, Prayer of Mending. Discipline 16: Twin Disciplines 5, Improved Power Word: Shield 2, Mental Agility 3, Inner Focus, Meditation 3, Mental Strength 2. Penance, Soul Warding and Divine Aegis aren't taken, so the Penance row is what you'd get with it.
Fight: 180 seconds, one restoration shaman in your group, Prayer of Mending bouncing 5 times, Inspiration's value counted.
Formulas: Heal per mana: the average heal, with healing power times the spell's coefficient, talent bonuses and crit, divided by the mana cost after talents. Per cast second: the same heal divided by the cast time (1.5 seconds for instants). Effective: times one minus the overheal guess.

Raid night checklist

Tick things off as you pack. Ticks stay in this browser; clear them before the next raid night.

Raids in Forever

Raids open December 9, 2026, five weeks after launch: Onyxia's Lair (40 players), Barrow Deeps (10) and Hyjal Summit (20). Nothing opens on launch day.
Barrow Deeps has 8 bosses and Hyjal Summit 13. The names come from beta data; kill order and priest tactics aren't known yet.
Blizzard's roadmap adds two more raids in spring 2027, then a new raid and a revamped classic raid in summer. Molten Core, Blackwing Lair, Zul'Gurub, both Ahn'Qiraj raids and Naxxramas have no Forever dates yet.
The new raids are 10 and 20 players. Don't assume the old 40-player raids shrink too.
Attunements for Onyxia and the new raids aren't announced. Nothing says the Horde Drakefire Amulet chain is gone, so start it if you can.
Potions changed: healing potions moved from Alchemy to First Aid, Mageblood Potion is now Mageblood Elixir, and the beta adds Cleric's elixirs plus Mender's and Spellblasting potions. Numbers may still change.
Prayer of Fortitude now buffs the whole raid, not one party, and still costs a Sacred Candle.
World buffs are reportedly gone from raids; Blizzard hasn't published the exact rules.
The beta stops at 30, so nothing at 60 here has been tested in Forever yet. Treat raid tactics as a starting point.
Boss lists and tactics below are Classic Era. Bosses sharing a number are one fight: a council, or the Edge of Madness boss of the week. Optional bosses are marked. Era data
Quantities are a night's suggested supply, not a shopping order. Most potions share one cooldown. Era data
Priests can't remove curses or poisons. Ask mages and druids for curses, and druids and shamans for poisons. Era data

Before every pull

Know your job: which tank or party you heal, and who backs you up.
Split shields: one priest shields each tank, so you don't overwrite each other's absorbs.
Agree who dispels what, the Fear Ward order, and who gets Power Infusion and the first Prayer of Mending.
Call low mana and deaths early, so someone covers your assignment.

Checklist from Codex research of Blizzard's Forever notes and Classic raid guides. Quantities are starting points; your raid leader's word wins.

Priest tips

Short habits that save mana, deaths and wipes. Forever-specific ones say so.

Leveling

Open, then wand. Mind Blast or Smite, Shadow Word: Pain if the mob will live long enough, then wand it down.
Two points in Wand Specialization. Forever gives 25% wand damage for 2 points instead of 5.
Pick wands by DPS. Since September 24, wands no longer get stronger from your spell power.
Land the killing blow. Spirit Tap's Spirit bonus after a kill speeds up your mana return.
Watch who you group with. A much higher-level friend in a dungeon group can stop everyone getting XP.

Groups and dungeons

Shield the tank freely. Since October 8, absorbs no longer cut warrior or druid rage. Ignore old advice saying otherwise.
Free the other healer first. Dispel a stun or fear off another healer before topping off someone who is already safe.
Agree on crowd control. Mark the Shackle or sap target before anyone puts damage over time on it.
Run to the tank. If a mob jumps you, run it to the tank, not away from the group.
Use cover. Stand where you can step behind a wall away from casters and still see your tank.

Mana

The five-second rule. After you spend mana, Spirit regen slows for 5 seconds; Meditation 3/3 keeps half of it going, and mana per 5 always counts. Wanding costs nothing, so wand while it recovers.
Take Meditation. Forever's Meditation gives 50% regen while casting at 3 points, not Era's 15%.
Call your drinks. Say you're drinking before you sit, so the next pull waits for you.
Dark Sacrifice between pulls. Undead: it trades health for mana, so use it when nothing is hitting you.
Alternate heals with Litany. Holy: switch heals when both are useful; don't cast an extra heal just for the refund.

On a PvP server

Plan an exit. Quest near a way back to friends, so an ambush doesn't pin you between mobs and players.
Quest in pairs. In contested zones, agree who peels if the other gets jumped.
Don't feed a camper. If a group camps your quest, regroup or switch quests instead of running back alone.
Report clearly. Tell the guild how many enemies and which way they're heading.
Rez from safety. After a fight, look around before you start a resurrection.

Tailoring and Enchanting for priests

Tailoring and Enchanting is the classic priest pair. Tailoring makes your cloth gear and bags; the magical gear you outgrow gets disenchanted into enchanting materials. Forever added recipes to both, and enchanters craft wands from the first levels.

Free bags while you level: Handmade Leather Bag, 6 slots (Carry Your Weight, Durotar); Scuffed Shipping Crate, 8 (Parts and Pieces, Barrens); Deviate Hide Pack, 10 (Deviate Hides, Wailing Caverns); Spidersilk Pouch, 12 (Stronger than Steel, Mulgore, from 23); Old Toolbox, 12 (Stepping Stones, the sleeping-bag chain, which runs through Alliance zones). If your guild tailor has the Mageweave Bag recipe, two of those (8 Mageweave bolts and 4 Silken Thread) round out four 12-slot bags.

Tips

Train both early. Expert needs character level 20 and Artisan level 35, so in the level-30 beta your crafting stops at 225.
Disenchant every green you outgrow, starting with your own tailoring crafts. That keeps enchanting cheap.
Make a Lesser Magic Wand at skill 10 and wear it from level 5. It carries early leveling.
Merchant's Favor is Forever's new supply-faction currency. Horde spend it at Beneris, west of the Crossroads in the Barrens.
Each non-gathering primary profession gives Legacy points at 150, 225 and 300.
Tailoring 300 lists Truefaith Vestments and the new Gloves and Boots of Conviction, though their launch availability is unverified.

Cloaks have no Intellect, Spirit, spell power or healing enchant in Forever (those arrive in later expansions), so resistance, armor or Subtlety it is. Enchanting has no head enchant; at 50 and up, look for the quest arcanums. Priests can't use shields. Enchanter-only ring enchants are rumored but unverified in the beta.
Lesser Healing Power bracers come from the Desolace centaur quests, which Blizzard moved to level 35 on October 8, so they aren't in the beta.
Beneris, west of the Crossroads in the Barrens, sells the Horde Merchant's Favor formulas: Insight and Revelation for 45, the necklaces for 120 at Friendly, level 60 formulas for 240 at Honored.
Skill is the enchanter's Enchanting skill, not your level. The 60 columns assume raid and reputation formulas that may not be in at launch. These are practical picks from beta data, not measured raid best-in-slot.

Enchants that sell

What Forever changed for priests

The changes that affect your keys, from Blizzard's priest deep dive, the Legacy article and the beta notes through October 8.

Fear Ward	Every priest, any race, at level 20.
Devouring Plague	Every priest, any race, at level 20. Can crit since October 1.
Divine Spirit	No longer a talent. Every priest learns it at 30.
Shadow Word: Death	Every priest at 32. Costs you 10% max health if the target survives. 15 sec cooldown.
Prayer of Healing	Heals the target's party and pets, not only yours.
Renew	Stacks from several priests on one target. Can crit.
Power Word: Shield	Can overwrite an existing shield on a target without Weakened Soul.
Fade	Threat reduction doubled.
Shadowform	Every non-healing spell is allowed in form. Shadow spells cost 50% less mana; Shadow crits do 100% more bonus damage.
Binding Heal	New 16-point Holy talent. Heals you and your target, 1.5 sec cast, no cooldown.
Penance	New 21-point Discipline talent. 2 sec channel, 12 sec cooldown, heals or damages. Retuned October 8.
Prayer of Mending	New 31-point Holy talent. Replaces Lightwell.
Silence	No longer requires Improved Psychic Scream.
Holy Precision	Up to 18% Holy spell hit, so healers can skip hit gear.
Low spell ranks	Ranks far below your level get less bonus healing or damage and a lower chance to trigger talents.
Talents	One point per level from 10. Respec at a class trainer in a capital city. Dual spec at 40.
Talented perk	Legacy perk that unlocks talent points up to 5 levels early. Legacy usually opens when your first character hits 25.
Wand	Shoot has a 0.5 sec cast before each shot. Stand still.
Racials	Troll: Hex of Weakness and Shadowguard, unchanged. Undead: Touch of Weakness unchanged, new Dark Sacrifice at 20.
Professions	600+ new recipes, food that adds a little XP, and campsite objects from profession skill 20.

Troubleshooting

Shift does nothing: The rank in the macro is not learned yet, or another key is bound to Shift plus this key. Try clicking the button while holding Shift.
The wrong ally got the heal: An ally under your mouse always wins. Move your mouse off the frames, or use a target-only version.
You heal yourself when you miss a frame: Delete the [@player] part so a miss does nothing.
Tooltip looks right but the cast fails: Check range, line of sight, mana, cooldowns and Weakened Soul. A correct tooltip does not mean a successful cast.
The spell name shows in red: The name or rank is not exact. Open the macro, put your cursor where the spell goes, and Shift-click the spell in your spellbook.
Pressing twice cancels your heal: You used a panic key. Those start with /stopcasting; use your normal heal key for normal healing.
A blocked action or addon error: Test with the default action bar and no addons, then turn addons back on one at a time.
The macro won't save: It is over 255 characters, including line breaks. Every card shows its count.

Graphics and console settings

36 commands

For healing, a steady frame rate and readable ground effects beat pretty water. Start at native resolution and 100% render scale, with Low or Fair shadows, Medium particles and Projected Textures on. Cap your frame rate at what your PC can hold, and 30 in the background. Write down every value before you change it so you can put it back.

The Forever look

The September tip from Icy Veins that went around the community: render scale 98%, contrast 60, brightness 40 (some players prefer 45). The same sliders are in Settings > Graphics (Render Scale under Resolution; Contrast, Brightness and Gamma further down). It depends on your monitor, so try it in a foggy zone and keep what looks right.

Write down your current look first

Prints render scale, contrast, brightness and gamma so you can put them back.

Type or paste into chat and press Enter.

/run for _,n in ipairs({"RenderScale","Contrast","Brightness","Gamma"}) do print(n,C_CVar.GetCVar(n)) end

The Forever look: 98% scale, contrast 60, brightness 40

Icy Veins says 98% render scale cleans up the image and can save a few frames, and contrast 60 with brightness 40 makes the new fog stand out. One player post uses brightness 45. It depends on your monitor.

3 lines. Type them one at a time in chat, or paste all into a temporary macro and click it once.

/console RenderScale 0.98
/console Contrast 60
/console Brightness 40

Undo: back to the game's defaults

Resets render scale, contrast and brightness to the client defaults. If you wrote down different values, type those instead.

Type or paste into chat and press Enter.

/run for _,n in ipairs({"RenderScale","Contrast","Brightness"}) do local d=C_CVar.GetCVarDefault(n); if d then C_CVar.SetCVar(n,d) end end

Record first

Screenshot Settings > Graphics (Base, Raid and Advanced) before you touch anything. These read-only lines print your current values to chat.

Reads maxFPS without changing it. The cap enable switch is separate.

Type or paste into chat and press Enter.

Prints six current settings: foreground/background enable flags and caps, VSync, and render scale.

Type or paste into chat and press Enter.

/run for _,n in ipairs({"useMaxFPS","maxFPS","useMaxFPSBk","maxFPSBk","vsync","RenderScale"}) do print(n,C_CVar.GetCVar(n)) end

Restore a recorded 120 FPS cap

Sets maxFPS to 120 ONLY as an example where 120 was the value you recorded before tuning.

Type or paste into chat and press Enter.

/console maxFPS 120

Reset one CVar to its client default

Looks up the current client-reported default for the named maxFPS CVar, then sets that one CVar only if a default was returned.

Type or paste into chat and press Enter.

/run local n="maxFPS"; local d=C_CVar.GetCVarDefault(n); if d then C_CVar.SetCVar(n,d) end

Balanced starting profile

Native resolution, 100% render scale, 60 FPS while playing and 30 in the background, with combat effects kept readable.

Balanced starting profile

A readable starting profile: 60 FPS foreground, 30 background, 100% scale, Fair shadows/water, Medium particles, projected textures on, Low ambient occlusion, and moderate draw detail.

4 lines. Type them one at a time in chat, or paste all into a temporary macro and click it once.

/console useMaxFPS 1
/console maxFPS 90
/console useMaxFPSBk 1
/console maxFPSBk 30

Deliberately disable the foreground cap

Turns the foreground cap enable switch off without guessing that maxFPS 0 disables it.

/console vsync 0

Enable VSync if tearing distracts

Launch-day recheck

Everything here came from the level 30 beta or from Classic Era. On launch day, check each one in game, tick it off, and tell Whokaers what changed. Your ticks are saved in this browser only.

Glossary

Words this guide uses, for anyone new to Classic or to Forever.
