Targeting and features
Current living hostile target → No valid enemy: no action
Requirements
- Holy Strike learned (level 6).
- A melee weapon and a living hostile target.
Known limitations
- Not tested in the Forever client; beta spell names and behaviour may change.
- English spell names only. Confirm names and ranks against your spellbook.
- Does not select a new enemy or guarantee a successful strike.
- No separate attack-start command is included. Automatic attack behavior, including when the ability cannot be cast, still needs testing in the Forever client. Avoid pressing this key while preserving crowd control.
Notes
- First Protection starter set, researched 24 September 2026. Spell IDs identify reference abilities or first ranks; the macro does not force rank 1.
- Ability metadata adapted from Talents Forever (Chris Baldwin), https://talentsforever.com, CC BY 4.0: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/. Original macro design and summaries by Allegedly Skilled.
- Holy Strike is baseline in source build 1.60.1.70009. Holy is included for deliberate melee use; the stable Protection-era ID does not impose a talent requirement.
- 4 October 2026, version 1.1.0: removed the separate /startattack command following player feedback. This changes the explicit attack-start behavior; it does not establish that every melee ability starts attacks automatically.
