Useful macros by class

This article describes all of the macro commands (or slash commands) recognized by World of Warcraft (without addons). To use a slash command, enter its name preceded by a slash, and followed by any parameters the command takes into the chat box (for example, /say Hello Azeroth!). The command names are not case sensitive, and you may combine multiple commands in a macro by putting each command on a new line.

Substitution sequences

All chat commands that send custom text to other players (for example /yell, /csay, /emote, /raid) may make use of the following patterns to insert unit names or raid icons into the message. These codes work in normal chat, in macros, and with the SendChatMessage function. Like other macro commands, they are not case-sensitive.

%f - Inserts the name of the current focus target. Inserts <no focus> if applicable.
%n, %t - Inserts the name of the current target, e.g. "Sheeping %t!". Inserts <no target> if nothing is targeted.
{texture} - Inserts one of the eight raid target icons:
- {star}, {rt1} -
- {circle}, {rt2} -
- {diamond}, {rt3} -
- {triangle}, {rt4} -
- {moon}, {rt5} -
- {square}, {rt6} -
- {cross}, {rt7} -
- {skull}, {rt8} -

Note that the raid target markup names (star, circle, diamond, etc.) are localized, so {star} for example will not be replaced by the star texture on a german client. The {rtX}-style markup works on all clients.
