Battleground Macros in WoW Forever
These WoW Forever Battleground macros find the nearest enemy player and slow them on the same press, so you stop a flag carrier without hunting for a target.
Key you hold
Alt stays free for Self Cast, so no macro here uses it.
Battleground slow keys: target the nearest enemy player and slow them
The first line picks the nearest enemy player when you have no living enemy targeted; pets, demons and totems are skipped.
