Problem with Shadow Word: Pain mouseover macro - not working

[Mermido-silvermoon]

Hello, so I decided to pick up Shadow Priest and I’m trying to create a mouseover macro for doting enemies, I already am using similar macros on my other toons, but I cannot make it work for Shadow Word: Pain. In general, the macro should cast SW:P on mouseover, or if there is no enemy under cursor then cast on the target.

So my macro is pretty standard

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][]Shadow Word: Pain

and it’s not working, now the best part, I decided to do the same for Vampiric Touch

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][]Vampiric Touch

working like a charm, my best guess is that something is wrong with ‘:’ in spell name (?) but I cannot find my way around it and all websites I visited are putting SW:P spell name without any modifications, also no macro I found on web is working.

The macro syntax is correct.

Sounds like you have the SWP spell and not the macro on your bars.

Just tested for myself, macro you have works as expected for me.

You are correct, rookie mistake. Case closed
