I am running 3 shams right now all lvl 12.

Right now the way I switch between characters is I have a macro that focus one of the player bound to f1 f2 f3

So for example I hit F1 and it /targets Tojjo /focus F2 /target Draconn /focus F3 /target Draconns /focus......and with keyclone I have F1 F2 F3 setup to switch between my PiP.

and on all of them I have in the #1 key slot to target, follow, assist the focused player

What I tried to accomplish was getting out of my head the thot of having a main character. This was all of my characters are mains and I can switch between them at will. But I want to be able to condense everything on one bar, I also done want to blow 3 Gift of narru and 3 heroism (when i hit 70) at the same time.

Also my healing is REALLY bad right now and it makes at least one person die very often. Any advice on that?

I tried doing a heal my focus targets target which would heal whoever they were tanking but on multiple mob pulls one person get slammed pretty hard and I can heal him but then if another pulls agro I am stuck one hurt player getting hit and one other one getting hit from healing agro.

if I have them all heal themselves at once a lot of the time one heal just isn't enough and that stops all dps on my targets.

Getting everything to one bar will most likely prove an impossible task. Your best bet with healing will be to either create round robin heals, or have two characters heal the target.

If you decide to have two characters heal the target you want to heal, you'll need a total of 4 macro's per character, 12 in all.

Try making the keys F9, F10, and F11 to heal, for example :

F9 /cast [target=ALT1] Lesser Healing Wave
F10 /cast [target=ALT2] Lesser Healing Wave
F11 /cast [target=ALT3] Lesser Healing Wave

On Your first shaman you will bind F10, and F11.
On your second bind F9, and F11.
On your third bind F9 and F10.

This works pretty well -if- you can multi task quickly to heal around, and if your not taking exorbitant amounts of damage. You can downgrade the heals to save mana.


The next method is called Round Robin. We can use a /castsequence macro, with a BLANK spell attached to achieve this. Whenever you hit the key with an empty spell, it does nothing but advance the macro once so use one key to cause one shaman to cast at a time. It works pretty well, but this method doesn't like key spamming.

This will require 3 macro's per character, all bound to F9-F11.

Character one :
F9 /castsequence reset=5 [target=player] , , Lesser Healing Wave
F10 /castsequence reset=5 [target=ALT2] , Lesser Healing Wave,
F11 /castsequence reset=5 [target=ALT3] Lesser Healing Wave, ,

Character Two :
F9 /castsequence reset=5 [target=ALT1] Lesser Healing Wave, ,
F10 /castsequence reset=5 [target=player] , , Lesser Healing Wave,
F11 /castsequence reset=5 [target=ALT3] , Lesser Healing Wave ,

Character Three:
F9 /castsequence reset=5 [target=ALT1] , Lesser Healing Wave,
F10 /castsequence reset=5 [target=ALT2] Lesser Healing Wave, ,
F11 /castsequencereset=5 [target=player] , , Lesser Healing Wave


Notice how each sequence is set to be rotated, with a short reset. It's setup so that you can press F9-F11, once each, and have each character get one heal, or you can press F9 3 times, and heal the first character once. Also each character is set so that they heal themselves last in the sequence.

This kind of round robin works with anything, I use this setup for Heroism. I setup a round robin with a reset of 10 minutes, So I just push the key once, and I get heroism. Same with my earth and fire elementals. You can do the same with Gift of the naaru, and any other spell.

Once you hit 40 and get chain heal, a focustargettarget chain heal is actually pretty effective, even if he changes target you get the heal to bounce, and then go to his next target to heal.
