    Art of War

    Can someone post a macro for AoW to self cast with out untargeting my current target. Secondly is there a mouse over macro for AoW procs where I can heal an ally by simply hovering the mouse over them? Thanks

    Re: Art of War

    hmm.. cant remember it very good. thought it was:

    /cast Flash heal [target=player]

    then if you dont have a target, you cast it on yourself. if you do have a friendly player targeted, you cast it on him.

    not 100% sure if this is the right code for it, so correct me if im wrong

    this is the same i use for my SS.

    or make a macro

    /target (insert your name)
    /cast flash of light
    Your greed, your foolishness has brought you to this end.

    Yes but that makes you lose your current target and target yourself.

    Best way is to enable automatic self casting, I don't see why it's not on by default?

    Self-heal AoW:

    /cast [target="INSERT YOUR CHARS NAME"] Flash of Light
    /cancelcast

    Mouseover AoW:

    /cast [target=mouseover] Flash of Light
    /cancelcast

    The /cancelcast line makes the macro only work if you have instant flashes (AKA when under AoW).

    Something that might be better to use is:

    /cast [target=mouseover, exists] Flash of Light; Flash of Light

    What this does is when you press the button, it casts FoL on your mouseover target, but if you don't have one, it casts FoL on you.



    Also, would /cast [target=mouseover, exists] Flash of Light; [target=target, exists] Flash of Light; [target=YOURNAMEHERE] Flash of Light
    work? As in, if you have a mouseover target, it casts on them, if not then it casts on your target, if you don't have a target then it casts on you.

    Re: Art of War

    I do it by overloading my DPS buttons. For example, I use

    Code:
    /cast [modifier:ctrl, target=PLAYER] Flash of Light; Divine Storm
    This does Divine Storm or heals myself depending whether it's a normal button push or ctrl-push. I could do what the OP is requesting in a single macro while still overloading my DPS button:

    Code:
    /cast [modifier:ctrl, target=PLAYER] Flash of Light; [modifier:alt, target=mouseover] Flash of Light; Divine Storm
    Adds another modifier to do a mouseover heal.

    Mouseover heals are, at least for me, very unreliable. Chances are too much stuff is going on to reliably hit the mouseover target I want to hit. I just click my raid frames to heal other people.

    edit: you might have to unbind whatever ctrl+number keys are bound by default.

    edit again: adding a /stopcasting line after the above line will ensure you don't stop autoattacking to cast a non-instant FoL. I actually use the button to spam FoL on myself sometimes though, so I prefer just to manually track my AoW procs (with an addon, of course).

    Let's all ride the Gish gallop.

    Casts FoL on your Target's Target (i.e. Tank) without deselecting your Current target.... only problem I have is that it will always Target your Target's Target, even when they are friendlies. : / Anyone know how to fix that part? If so it would be very nice to have

    Or just press and holy ALT as you press the flash of light key. ALT is the default self cast button, keeps your current target, but casts the spell on you.

    The problem with targettarget macros for what you want to do is that many bosses target someone other than whoever is winning at threat to cast certain abilities. If you absolutely must use a macro for it, use [target=focus] instead and just focus the tank.

    The better solution is just to click on your raid frames to heal. IMO.

    Ok ok..

    1 = Judge
    2 = DS
    3 = CS
    Q = Exorcism
    Ctrl-Q = Holy Wrath
    E = Consecration
    4 = Seal
    5 = Repentence
    6 or click on raid frames = cleanse me or my target
    7 = HoW/HoJ macro (also on a mouse button)
    Other mouse button = Bubble/HoF macro
    ` = Avenging Wrath
    z = mount macro
    x = divine plea/torrent macro

    Where do you suggest I bind these extra buttons I'd need to alt-press to cast my heals without doing gymnastics with my left hand?

    Instead, I overload my DPS buttons (1, 2, 3, Q, E, mouse button) as I mentioned a couple posts above. Everything I normally use is within easy reach of my left hand. Fun times.

    I dont see why you dont just enable "Auto Self cast" when you want it casted on yourself.

    Does not remove your target, and is the most efficent way to handle it.

    No, I want the spell to hit the Boss's target, but only cast on a Friendly when selecting a Friendly and the Friendly's target.

    And I run into Focus problems when I have to use Repent, Turn Evil, or some other feature.

    Ok, and that's why I'm suggesting raid frame clicking to heal.

    Buuuut... I believe this will do what you're asking

    Code:
    /cast [help] flash of light; [target=targettarget] Flash of Light
    If your target is friendly it should heal your target. If not, it'll heal your target's target. I can't interpret what else you might mean by "only cast on a friendly when selecting a friendly and the friendly's target" Note: I can't log in at the moment to test if it works.
