Modifier
Requirements
- Heroic Strike learned; first recorded spellbook level 1.
- Cleave learned; first recorded spellbook level 20.
- A melee weapon; Cleave also requires choosing a safe nearby second enemy.
Known limitations
- Research only: not tested in the Forever client. Beta spell names, parser behaviour and requirements may change.
- English spell names; check your spellbook and actual learned rank. Source IDs identify reference ranks, not a forced rank-1 cast.
- Range, line of sight, resources, cooldowns and the global cooldown still apply. A macro does not detect readiness or choose your next combat action.
- These are next-melee attacks; the queued action waits for a swing. This does not manage rage or automatically choose single-target versus cleave.
- Keep the listed modifier combination free of conflicting action-bar bindings. Each chosen spell requires its own keypress; this is not a sequence.
- 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
- Researched 27 September 2026 against source beta build 1.60.1.70009. Spec lists are recommendations; actual learned spells and selected talents determine eligibility.
- 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.
- 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.
