Targeting and features

As selected explicitly by the macro conditions.

Stopcasting

Requirements

  • Learned Mana Shield; the source records its first rank at level 20. 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.
  • 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 baseline source absorbs physical damage and consumes mana. It does not guarantee protection from every damage school or preserve a mana reserve.

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.
