Living Bomb macro

[Hinalover]

Up until I want to say patch 3.2 or so I was able to use this macro for my Living Bombs:

#showtooltip Living Bomb
/cast [@mouseover] Living Bomb; Living Bomb

What it is supposed to do is if I hover over a mob or their nameplate I am able to cast living bomb. But if I don't hover over the mob it casts living bomb on the mob I am targeting. Now I HAVE to hover over the mob or nameplate to work. I've even tried this variation with no success:

#showtooltip Living Bomb
/cast [@mouseover] Living Bomb
/cast Living Bomb

This is giving me a no Target error message:

#showtooltip Living Bomb
/cast [@mouseover] Living Bomb;
/cast [@target] Living Bomb

Is there any suggestions on this?

/cast [@mouseover, harm, exists] Living bomb; Living bomb


works for my fears

Try (I´m not great with macro's but it might work, I hope it does!)

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, exists] Living Bomb; Living Bomb

I´m not great with macro's but it might work, I hope it does!

this will work but if you mouseover a friendly target it will give the "You cant attack that target" error.

mine will cast it on your current target if youre mouseovered (? what?) a friend

I use this one for all my mouseover abilities, it has always done what you described up top:

#showtooltip Living Bomb
/cast [target=mouseover,exists][] Living Bomb

Just logged and tested this with LB on my mage, it definately still works for me!

it works if you hover over. What I was running into wass that I want to cast Living Bomb on the selected target when I'm not hovering over. By adding in the exist part, and adding in the "; Living Bomb" at the end I'm able to do that.

When making macros like that you need some syntax to make it know if the target exists or not (exists, harm, help, etc.)
Ex:

#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover, harm] Living Bomb; Living Bomb

Same with other "target"-commands such as "focus" or "targettarget". With all of theese you need a line to verify the existance of that target (in the example it's 'harm').

I use this on mainly all my spells as an elem shaman.

#showtooltip
/cast [harm] Lightning Bolt; Healing Wave

Or as resto shaman

#showtooltip
/cast [target=focus, help] Earth Shield;
