Death Grip Without Breaking CC

Grips your mouseover or current target and stops your auto-attacks in the same press, so you do not immediately break a crowd control effect on whatever you just pulled to you.

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

Death Knight macros first, then the rest of the WoW library.

Anti-Magic Zone (Cursor)
Death Knight
```
#showtooltip Anti-Magic Zone
/cqs
/cast [@cursor] Anti-Magic Zone
```
Places Anti-Magic Zone at your cursor instantly. Cancels any spell you have queued first so the bubble lands the moment you press the key rather than after your current cast finishes.
Asphyxiate (Focus)
Death Knight
```
#showtooltip Asphyxiate
/cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Asphyxiate
```
Stuns your focus target without giving up your current target. Asphyxiate is your only hard stun, so being able to land it on a healer while you keep hitting the damage dealer is worth a keybind on its own.
Blood Defensive Stack
Death Knight
```
#showtooltip Vampiric Blood
/cast Vampiric Blood
/cast Rune Tap
/cast Bone Shield
/cast Anti-Magic Shell
```
Fires Vampiric Blood, Rune Tap, Bone Shield and Anti-Magic Shell together. Only Vampiric Blood costs a global, so the rest layer on instantly for a large short-term spike in survivability.
Breath of Sindragosa Opener
Death Knight
```
#showtooltip Breath of Sindragosa
/cast Pillar of Frost
/cast !Breath of Sindragosa
/cast Abomination Limb
/cast Raise Dead
/use 13
```
+1 more
Opens your Frost burst window with Pillar of Frost, Breath of Sindragosa, Abomination Limb, Raise Dead and your first trinket. The exclamation mark in front of Breath stops a second press from cancelling the channel.
Cancel Blessing of Protection
Death Knight
```
/cancelaura Blessing of Protection
```
Removes a Blessing of Protection that a Paladin has cast on you. The buff blocks all physical attacks, which also means you cannot hit anything until it is gone — as a melee that is usually not what you want.
Chains of Ice (Mouseover)
Death Knight
```
#showtooltip Chains of Ice
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Chains of Ice
```
Slows a runner under your cursor without dropping your current target. The classic use is chaining the mob that is sprinting for your healer while you stay on the pack.
Control Undead
Death Knight
```
#showtooltip Control Undead
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Control Undead
/petassist
```
Enslaves an undead mob under your cursor and immediately sets it to assist you. A handful of dungeons have undead trash worth taking along for the extra damage.
Dark Command (Mouseover Taunt)
Death Knight
```
#showtooltip Dark Command
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Dark Command
```
Taunts whatever your cursor is over without changing target. Picking a loose add off a healer while you keep tanking the boss is the whole reason mouseover taunts exist.
