Touch of Death (Mouseover)

Executes whatever you are hovering. Touch of Death only works below a health threshold, so the ability to fire it at an off-target add the moment it dips is worth the bind.

Where to paste this

Type /macro (or press Esc → Macros) to open the macro window.
Choose "General Macros" to share the macro across all characters, or "<Character> Specific Macros" to keep it on one character.
Click New, pick an icon — the "?" icon plus #showtooltip makes the button mirror whatever spell it will cast — and name the macro.
Paste the macro body into the text area, then drag the macro icon onto an action bar.
Bind the action bar slot to a key as usual; the macro fires on key press.

More WoW macros

Monk macros first, then the rest of the WoW library.

Brewmaster Panic Brews
Monk
```
#showtooltip Fortifying Brew
/cast Fortifying Brew
/cast Dampen Harm
```
Fires Fortifying Brew and Dampen Harm together. Neither costs a global cooldown, so stacking them on one key gives you a large instant reduction when a tank buster lands.
Detox (Mouseover)
Monk
```
#showtooltip Detox
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help][@player] Detox
```
Dispels whoever your cursor is over, then your target, then yourself. Dispelling is time-critical and almost never needed on the person you are already healing.
Enveloping Mist (Mouseover)
Monk
```
#showtooltip Enveloping Mist
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help][@player] Enveloping Mist
```
Applies your strongest heal-over-time to whoever you are hovering. Because it also boosts your other healing on that target, getting it onto the right person quickly matters.
Invoke Xuen with Trinket
Monk
```
#showtooltip Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger
/cast Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger
/use 13
```
Summons Xuen and fires your first trinket in the same press so your damage cooldowns stay aligned without you tracking them separately.
Leg Sweep (Instant)
Monk
```
#showtooltip Leg Sweep
/stopcasting
/cast Leg Sweep
```
Cancels your queued ability and stuns everything around you immediately. Leg Sweep is usually a reaction to a cast bar you need to stop right now.
Life Cocoon (Mouseover)
Monk
```
#showtooltip Life Cocoon
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help][@player] Life Cocoon
```
Throws your big external shield onto whoever you are hovering. Life Cocoon is an emergency button and the emergency is rarely on your current target.
Never Clip Fists of Fury
Monk
```
#showtooltip Tiger Palm
/stopmacro [channeling:Fists of Fury]
/cast Tiger Palm
```
Refuses to fire while Fists of Fury is channelling, so mashing your filler cannot cut the channel short and lose you a tick of damage. Swap Tiger Palm for whichever button you are binding.
Paralysis (Focus)
Monk
```
#showtooltip Paralysis
/cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Paralysis
```
Incapacitates your focus target without dropping your current one. Paralysis breaks on damage, so it belongs on something you are deliberately not hitting.
