Earth Shock Rank 1: low-mana target interrupt

Attempt a Rank 1 Earth Shock interrupt on your current enemy. The source lists 30 mana and the same two-second school lockout as higher ranks, with less damage.

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

Targeting and features

Living enemy current target → No eligible current target: no cast

Stopcasting

Requirements

  • Earth Shock Rank 1 must be learned and available; the source records it at character level 4. Rank 1 does not mean character level 1.
  • A living hostile current target, enough mana, and a ready Shock cooldown.

Known limitations

  • Research-supported beta design; no recorded Forever client macro tests. Verify the explicit Rank 1 syntax, actual cost and interrupt result on your build. English spell and rank names need localization on other clients.
  • Rank 1 deals less damage than higher ranks. The source lists 30 mana versus 450 for Rank 7 before character-specific modifiers; live costs may differ.
  • The source retains a two-second school lockout across Earth Shock ranks, but range, immunity, hit outcome and interrupt timing still apply. The macro does not detect an interruptible cast.
  • With a living hostile target, /stopcasting cancels your current cast or channel even if Earth Shock then fails through cooldown, mana, range or line of sight. It does not bypass the global cooldown.
  • The source describes high threat. This target-only option ignores mouseover units and does not automatically select another enemy.

Notes

  • An optional utility alternative; the existing unqualified Earth Shock mouseover macro is preserved. The Rank 1 suffix in the body, rather than the reference spell ID alone, requests the lower rank.
  • Review of all nine classes and retained evidence: research/rank-one-interrupts-2026-10-05.md. No Season of Discovery behavior is assumed.
  • Ability metadata adapted from Chris Baldwin / Talents Forever under CC BY 4.0, with a 60.tools client-extraction cross-check. Icon mapping remains sourced to the existing 70009 inventory; artwork belongs to Blizzard Entertainment.
