I'm hoping to get some input from some of the macro wizards that hang out here regarding conditional targeting. Here is what I'm looking to do.

I need my casters to do a check on a few boss fights, mainly Curator and Laj at this point. What I want the macro to do is something like:

/target [Astral Spark = if its alive][Curator = If no Astral Sparks are alive]

Is this possible, and if so how would I write it correctly? I have read a few macro guides but I'm just not able to find the information I need (or not able to understand it, lol, which is far more likely).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't /target mobs, ever. I just assist my main using focus:
/cast [target=focus-target] DPSSpell

But for checking for mobs, try:
/cast [target=Astral Spark, nodead] [target=Curator] DPSSpell
dead, harm, help automatically check for exists, so you don't need both

If you have to use /target, then try:
/target [target=Astral Spark, nodead] [target=Curator]

Hope that helps. Good luck.

I was just assisting my main (pally), but there is the inherent lag when doing that and I just want to experiment with this type of setup to see if we can get the sparks down just a bit quicker. Since I am main tanking curator, half the time my dps would end up targeting him even though I had my pally targeting the sparks. But, in theory, this should allow me to make a separate attack for the spark phase, then I can use the assist macro, with trinkets and all that good stuff, during the evocation phase.
