Is it possible to set these up on the default wow interface? I want to set these up to heal on a resto shaman yet can’t seem to reproduce what I see in guides and videos, even after downloading the clique addon as suggested.
Could someone please give me an idiot proof explanation on how to set them up?
Absolutely!
/M opens the macro window, create a new macro there. Use this for basic;
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, help, nodead] SPELLNAMEHERE
Replace help with harm if you need a damage mouseover, maybe your dots or something.
Hope that helps - a quick google search of ‘mouseover macro wow’ or something will set you on the path!
Yours wont do anything if the mouse has no valid target.
To do so you add a 2nd target case.
You dont need to check for help or harm if you dont mix damaging and healing spells in a single macro, but having a nodead check can be used for combat ress or reviving on the same button after combat.
If you want to use default target behaviour as alternative state, you may as well use
/cast [@mouseover, exists] [] spell
if you don’t want to use a different ability anyways.

Thanks guys, this has all been very helpful, but there is still one thing I’m not sure about. How, if possible, would I be able to set up a macro, for example for riptide, where if I don’t have a target it would cast on myself?
Within a current macro? Otherwise this is default behaviour right? Then add the [@player] bracket in a macro.
/cast [@mouseover] [@player] Riptide
If you hover over a target with your mouse; cast it on that target. Otherwise cast it on yourself.
Or
/cast [@mouseover] [] Riptide
If you hover over a target with your mouse; cast it on that target. Otherwise use the default targeting/casting rules.
