Healing Wave with a separate Swiftness press
Heal a friendly mouseover or target; Alt explicitly heals yourself. Shift activates Nature's Swiftness only, then release Shift and press again for the heal.
This macro is based on research and still needs testing in game. Check the requirements and known limits before trying it.

Targeting and features
Shift: activate Nature's Swiftness only → Otherwise Alt: Healing Wave on self → Otherwise living friendly mouseover → Otherwise living friendly target → No eligible recipient: no heal
Requirements
- Learned Nature's Swiftness; the source records its first rank at level 30. Each higher rank must be learned separately.
- An actual point in the Nature's Swiftness talent (Restoration) and its prerequisites; selecting a recommended spec alone does not grant it.
- Learned Healing Wave; the source records its first rank at level 1. Each higher rank must be learned separately.
- Requirements apply to the branch you choose; other unlearned modifier branches do not prevent use of an available action.
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.
- Modifier keybindings can intercept the combination. Spell selection is manual; an unlearned or unavailable modifier action does not fall back to the default spell.
- This never casts the cooldown and heal together. The follow-up needs a separate press and valid recipient. Other eligible Nature spells can consume the buff first.
- The Healing Wave branch works without the talent once learned. The Shift branch alone requires the actual Nature's Swiftness talent.
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.
