Smite priest trick #4: Correct your smiting
Like every November Monday (that was fouly demised by a delayed auto-Wordpress schedule), Johannah the Smite Priest has a smite priest trick in store! Use these macros to help improve your Holy DPS role. If you’ve missed previous entries, they’re listed at the end.
For this entry, it’s time to correct your smiting. Taken from Borkweb, this macro will have you cast Smite on a harmful target or cast Smite on your target’s target if you have them selected for healing/buffing purposes.
/cast [harm] Smite; [target=targettarget, harm] Smite
I tried this macro out and found it was rather useful. The benefit to this really shines when you’re healing in Smite spec and want to synchronize a Surge of Light with a tank that you have targeted. I personally have my Smite macro’d into Flash Heal for mouse-over heals with Grid, which looks like this:
/cast [harm] Smite; [target=mouseover,exists,nodead,help][] Flash Heal
…but to each their own! Now you have two different perspectives on how to cast an effective Smite. 
The first macro works dandy if you heal with Healbot or a different method. I used it for awhile before switching over to Grid/mouseovers. Admittedly, I am still trying to figure out a way to improve upon this still because mouseover keeps hitting bear ass when I’m trying to Smite a target.
Do you have a Smite macro? What does it look like? Feel free to comment and discuss / share!
