Requirements
- Lay on Hands learned (level 10).
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.
- Keep Shift plus this key free of conflicting action-bar bindings.
- The first matching unit wins. An out-of-range or obstructed mouseover does not fall through to another target.
- No unconditional self fallback. Stops your current cast when a branch matches, even if the ability cannot be cast.
- Consumes your remaining mana in the referenced beta data; plan how to resume tanking.
Notes
- First Protection starter set, researched 24 September 2026. Spell IDs identify reference abilities or first ranks; the macro does not force rank 1.
