    Wild Growth selftarget macro

    Hello. I basically want a macro that does the following: Casts Wild Growth on me and changes back the target to my previous one (before selecting myself as a target). I only managed to do a simple /target myself /cast wildgrowth macro which does not change back the target to the one i previously had.
    Thx.

    /cast [@self] Wild Growth

    or was it @player
    something along these lines

    thx, /cast [@player] Wild Growth did the trick.

    Better to cast it on the boss so it hits melee imo.

    It really depends on the composition of the group. The raid group I run with has only one melee usually at best, not counting tanks. So if the tanks are on separate mobs then the wild growth won't usually hit more than two targets if I cast it on the boss.

    thing is, sometimes I am not in range of the boss, so I need to retarget and recast WG, thus loosing precious time. That is why I prefer to cast it on me.

    I suggest you try using [@mouseover] instead of [@player]. You'll gain flexibility without losing too much time, if at all.

    I mean, if he uses /cast [@mouseover] Wild Growth , he only has to mouseover himself and press the button. This doesn't take that long compared to just pressing the button; I at least can do it quickly enough. And he also can mousever a cluster of allies, an enemy, or the raid frames, and cast the spell whenever he wants without changing targets. Am I clearer now?

    /cast [@mouseover] [] Wild Growth

    That macro will cast it on your mouseover if you got one. If you have nothing on mouseover, you'll cast it on yourself.

    I'd even add the following:

    /cast [@mouseover,nomod][@player,mod:alt][] Wild Growth;

    Casts Wild Growth on mouseover, unless you press alt with the hotkey, then it will cast it on yourself. If you have no mouseover it will cast it on your current target.

    Simplest way to do it is:

    /target Player
    /cast Wild Growth
    /targetlasttarget

    /cast [target=player] Wild Growth

    I use mouseovers for every healing spell other than my focus lifebloom for late tank refreshes.

    As a quick pointer to those suggesting target-swapping macros, a macro'd spell doesn't need to change your target (you can use @focus or @tanknamehere or such), e.g. for casting Thorns on the tank without target-swapping or so forth.
