Is it necessary to set the /stopcasting macro in WoW?

Does the top pvp player set the /stopcasting macro and make a key-binding with that in the world of warcraft? Is it necessary? Or just move the character to break the casting spell?

Short answer: It depends.

Long answer:

  • If you're simply trying to stop casting of a spell with no following action, then moving is just fine and is preferred so you don't waste a keybinding on doing essentially the same thing.
  • If you want to stop casting as part of a macro that is going to do something else like "fire off an emergency heal", then using the /stopcasting command is better.

Please note that stopcasting will step on itself, meaning if you spam the macro below, you won't cast anything as you will be interrupting the Heal to cast another Heal.

/stopcasting
/cast Heal
