Tiger Palm with Auto Attack

Casts Tiger Palm and makes sure your auto-attack is running. Melee auto attacks quietly stopping after a stun or a knockback is a common and invisible damage loss.

Where to paste this

  1. Type /macro (or press Esc → Macros) to open the macro window.
  2. Choose "General Macros" to share the macro across all characters, or "<Character> Specific Macros" to keep it on one character.
  3. Click New, pick an icon — the "?" icon plus #showtooltip makes the button mirror whatever spell it will cast — and name the macro.
  4. Paste the macro body into the text area, then drag the macro icon onto an action bar.
  5. 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.
