Counterspell: interrupt a mouseover caster

Cast Counterspell on a living enemy mouseover, then your living enemy target, while keeping your selected target.

This macro is based on research and still needs testing in game. Check the requirements and known limits before trying it.

Requirements

  • Learned Counterspell; the source records its first rank at level 24. Each higher rank must be learned separately.

Known limitations

  • Research-supported design for beta 1.60.1.70009; no recorded in-client macro tests. English spell names require localization on other clients.
  • The first matching target branch wins; an out-of-range, line-of-sight, immune or otherwise invalid recipient does not fall through to another target.
  • This deliberately interrupts your current cast/channel when its stop condition matches, even if the new spell is on cooldown or cannot complete. It does not bypass the global cooldown.
  • The key does not test whether the enemy is casting or interruptible. Counterspell can be spent without interrupting a spell.

Notes

  • Spell IDs identify the sourced first-rank reference; unranked names request the learned rank selected by the client. A spellbook tab is not a specialization lock.
  • Talent and level records are provisional beta extraction, not proof of spell acquisition.
