Here’s a list of all the spells that are off the global cooldown, or GCD as we call it. What does this mean for Wow? It means that you can combine these abilities in succession using the /cast command. You can string as many as you’d like into one button press!
Here are all the World of Warcraft classes’ abilities and spells off the global cooldown. You can combine these with /cast and /use for a trinket macro or any other spell combination you want.

What we find here is that there’s lots of abilities that can be strung together using /cast. I was a little surprised that some of the classes have so few – it really limits how much you can improve your gameplay with macros for say, priests. You can still do some creative targeting and key bind combinations, but as far as combining spells some classes are a little limited.
As always, remember that the syntax for /cast is:
/cast [conditionals] Spell Name
If you want to learn more about writing your own macros, read our guide to the /cast syntax here
For all classes “/use 13” or “/use 14″ (upper thinket or lower trinket respectively, if on use able”) r also off GCD. For Paladins Holy Avenger, Speed of Light talent, Guardian of Ancient Kings spell, for Holy spec Divine Favor & Beacon of Light if glyphed. MoP 5.4
You can add Word of Glory and Shield of the Righteous for Paladins
…as well as Eternal Flame, Templar’s Verdict, and Divine Storm.
It seems to varie per spec with pallys so scratch Templar’s Verdict and Divine Storm.
I play on a 81 prot pally and I know that WoG, EF, & SotR are not on the global cooldown in addition to everything on your list.
This totally needs an update! :) I was looking for a list like this to see which paladin skills I could effectively macro. This is the only list I could find through google. Please update for Mists of Pandaria, it’d be really useful!
Glaive Tos is on the GCD and Fervor is not.
Thanks, updated.
