Casting spell at mouseover if it exists by default

[SPQR]

Hey does anyone know if there is such thing somewhere in game settings?
to cast spell on existing mouseover / else normaly without making a macro?
Thanks.

You gotta macro it. Why is it important not to use a macro?

Seems too much work to do for each spec if you got several characters.

you legit copy and paste the same macros and just change the spell name
how is that hard work, and just use the general tab to share with alts of the same class

@SPQR you can make macros for all your specs without taking up too much macro space by making a macro that casts a different ability depending on your spec. For example:

#showtooltip [spec:3]Frostbolt; [spec:2]Fireball; [spec:1]Arcane Blast;
/cancelaura Ice Block
/cancelaura Ice Block
/cast Frostbolt
/cast FireBall
/cast Arcane Blast

This is a macro that casts an ability on your mouseover if you have one, and if you don't, it just casts the ability normally (target with no modifier or focus if you're holding shift)

#showtooltip Slow
/cancelaura Ice Block
/cancelaura Ice Block
/cast [nomod,@mouseover,exists]Slow
/cast [mod:shift,@focus]Slow
/cast [nomod,@target]Slow

And again if you don't want 3 separate macros for your 3 specs you can just write it like this

#showtooltip [spec:3]Cone of Cold; [spec:2]Dragon's Breath; [spec:1]Slow;
/cancelaura Ice Block
/cancelaura Ice Block
/cast [nomod,@mouseover,exists]Slow
/cast [mod:shift,@focus]Slow
/cast [nomod,@target]Slow
/cast Cone of Cold
/cast Dragon's Breath

Ik this is all info you didn't really ask for but I hope it helps.
