I’m trying to make a macro to cancel the Guarded by the Light buff you get from the new rune. The macro I made:
/cancelaura Guarded by the Light
You can right click the buff, so it’s not an issue of being uncancellable. I’ve triple checked and if there’s a typo then I must be blind.
Does any1 know a workaround? I’d rather not click the buff off every time I want to cast a heal when using this rune.

got similar problem, i can click it off but cant make cancelaura macro
Ugghhh
So there’s a method in the wow API:
/run CancelUnitBuff(“player”,index)
so I figured, what if I used a different script to find a buff of the “Guarded by the Light”, save the index of that buff, then run the cancelunitbuff function above.
But it doesn’t work in combat.
:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Have you tried this one?
#showtooltip
/cancelaura Guarded by the Light
/cast [target=mouseover,help,exists]Holy Light; [help]Holy Light; [target=player] Holy Light
It works perfectly for me even in combat.
it works only 1time, if u want to heal your self 2nd time - it doesnt (
u don’t need to heal yourself get a buddy there heals u
sometime it works, sometimes no
I logged on a few minutes ago and it seems broken now.
Don’t know what happened since. 
My macro works now. Perhaps they fixed it?
Thanks anyway
Edit: haaaa nevermind? It worked but then it didn’t
It works sometimes for me and sometimes it doesnt…
But it’s not classed as an aura.
I tried many things, using spell IDs, add-ons to track buffs and so on… Nothing works. I managed to have the /cancelaura macro actually work one time for some reason, I also managed to remove it using a specific buff tracker addon but both are very unreliable and will work 1 try out of dozens.
Very odd, if someone has a solution kindly share it.
So i don’t know why or how but disabling the itemrack addon just made the macro work all of a sudden.
I even tried to reload the game completely and it’s still working 100% now, has been for 15 mins now.
Very strange but, well, that’s what happened for me.
Same for me, it just doesnt work and forces us to cancel it by right clicking the buff mid-bossfight in order to meet an HPS check.
It’s an addon which allows you to create gear sets and equip them all at once instead of having to change piece by piece.
That said, turns out this was not related and last evening, the macro wasn’t working again.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, i opened a bug report IG i would advise you all do the same.
Good afternoon, I found a bug!
If my character has a buff called “Seal of …”
before entering the battle, then /cancelaura stops working before exiting the battle! We are throwing a bug detection report!
They fixed it. U cant even cancel it by right clicking anymore.
