Frequently Asked Questions
About LazyGrip.net and GRIP-EMS.
About GRIP-EMS
What is GRIP-EMS?
It is a World of Warcraft addon that runs your rotation automatically, one action per keypress. You build a sequence of spells, bind it to a key, and it cycles through them as you press. It is available on CurseForge and WoWInterface and it is free.
Is it allowed by Blizzard?
Yes. One action per keypress is within the rules. The site will not host anything that requires bots or prohibited automation tools.
Where do I learn how to build sequences?
The LazyGrip guide covers installation, settings, how the step engine works, building sequences from scratch, and validating your work against logs. lazygrip.net/guide
I need help with the addon itself.
The GRIP-EMS Discord is the fastest place to get help. The developer is in there along with the rest of the community. discord.gg/UUdmCNUv
The community also has a subreddit for discussion, sharing sequences, and general GRIP-EMS questions. r/GRIPEMS
Using LazyGrip.net
How do I import a sequence?
Copy the GRIP import string from the sequence page, go in-game, type /gems import, and paste it. Done.
How do I post a sequence?
Create a free account, click Post Sequence in the header, fill in your class and spec, paste your GRIP export string, and it goes live.
Can I edit or delete something I posted?
Yes. Open your sequence page while logged in and the Edit and Delete buttons are there. Only you can see them. Delete asks for confirmation before it removes anything.
How do I save a sequence?
Hit the Save button on any sequence page. Your saved sequences show up on your profile.
If a sequence was imported from another macro tool, does it still show who originally made it?
Yes. When the Workshop imports a sequence from another macro tool, it locks in the original author’s name at import time. That name carries through to the published page as "Originally created by," and the Workshop does not let it be edited away, no matter who posts the sequence here.
Should I worry about other addons interfering with GRIP-EMS?
LazyGrip.net does not control what other addons on your machine do, and this site has no visibility into your WoW installation beyond whatever export string you paste in. As general good practice with any addon, it is worth keeping an occasional backup of your WTF folder’s SavedVariables, so nothing you have built is ever one bad update away from gone.
Account and Privacy
Is this free?
Yes. Browsing, posting, saving, and commenting are all free and there are no paid tiers.

Email admin@lazygrip.net with your username and we will remove your account and data within 30 days.
