Basic healing macro

[Deleted]

Hi guys,
I need some basic help. My current healing macro for word of glory is:

#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover, exists] Word of Glory; Word of Glory

However, when I am targeting an enemy it is not casting it on me, until I mouseover myself. How to fix that?
Thanks!

#showtooltip *********
/cast [nomodifier:alt,target=mouseover,nodead,help][nomodifier:alt,help,nodead][nomodifier:alt,target=player][modifier:alt,target=player]*********

Is what I've used since BC. Works a treat.

There you go:

#showtooltip Word of Glory
/cast [target=mouseover, help, nodead][target=target, help, nodead][target=player] Word of Glory

Just cleaning up your macros a bit... "target=target" etc burns my eyes.

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, help, nodead][@player] Word of Glory

would do what you want:
-heal your mouseover if it's friendly and alive
-heal yourself if you don't have a friendly alive mouseover.

It does not include a way to heal your target though, though if that is desired, it can be done easily. On my healers, I always used a macro that had a mouseover condition like above, if there was no mouseover it heals my target, if that target isn't friendly (or I press alt) it heals myself (if I press alt it heals myself in any case). That would be:

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, help, nodead, nomod:alt][nomod:alt, help, nodead][@player] Word of Glory

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][@player]Word of Glory

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][@player]Word of Glory

Yay I have the same thing as Treeston! (plus the possibility to heal myself in any case, but that wasn't requested.)

Your macro won't heal your target when your target is friendly,which is quite bad as a healer.
You can't constantly mouseover your raidframes when you have to move.
that's why the target=target is there on:

#showtooltip Word of Glory
/cast [target=mouseover, help, nodead][target=target, help, nodead][target=player] Word of Glory

even if it burns your eyes.You can shorten the macro yes,but that part is good to have as healer.
It heals your mouseover target when you mouseover someone,
It heals your target when there's no mouseover.
It heals yourself when u have no mouseover or friendly target.
Which is what Retaliator asked.
Unless ofc he is dps and he only wants to heal himself and occasionally heal ppl in his group.Which in that case yours could do as well.

Yes, but what Treeston posted is much cleaner and does the same thing as yours.

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][@player]Word of Glory

First part does the mouseover, second your target, third yourself. If you absolutely find you have to include the T=T piece, a short @target would work. The @ symbol replaces target= now so you can reduce the space each macro takes up (and consequently make them do more if you desire). In fact, you can use also use /use instead of /cast now.

If you check my post you can see i wasn't reffering to treeston.

I am aware what each part of the macro does and yes i do know that already.As you can see i already said that you can shorten the macro on my previous post.
So not sure what your point is ^^

Your macro won't heal your target when your target is friendly,which is quite bad as a healer.

That's why I have posted two macros, if you'd look at my post again. One which does word by word what he wrote he wanted, and the addition that fixes exactly what you're demanding (+ the ability to skip it with alt, I put both the additions in one).

I guess I could have worded the initial response better. The OP asked:

Thanks!

Seeing as he/she was asking for basic help, I provided clarification to the information provided, as well as ways to simplify and shorten a macro. Don't assume that everyone knows what you already do when you post macro's that use outdated methods to perform a function.

There's no reason to shorten the macro when the one using it won't edit it.The only reason to shorten it, is to add more things in it.Which he obviously won't do.
He wanted a basic macro for world of glory.I gave him one so did the rest.My response was to Tearor concerning the target part.
Also replied to you for the explanation part because it felt like you were reffering to me.
But anyway this is pointless..>.<
