Short is: Do you know of any bar addons that have macro flexibility like trinity or macaroon? Also how do you set up your healing to be flexible and focused when you need it. I have an example of one of my macros to solve this problem for me... but it requires a longer macro than blizz allows (trinity and macaroon both allow).

I was using Macaroon and ran into some trouble with setting up profiles. I have tried Bartender4 but found that it is not as flexible (i can live with this) but also that it doesn't have any real macro capability. A few of my key macros are longer than the blizz basics will allow and so are written in the macaroon system. I also like having unlimited macro options. It also looks like i would have greater flexibility setting up my stance bars on my druids with macaroon or something like it.

Anyone know of a bar mod besides macaroon where i can have this macro goodness? Anyone know of any word from Maul on macaroon? From the posts on the main boards it looks uncertain.

Below is an example of one of my longer macros. Even if i shorten it by taking out the extra "/casts" and "Lesser Healing Wave" it is still longer than the basic blizz macro will allow. I like the ability to cast x4 healing on any member of my group or to have every member of the group cast a heal on themselves. Anyone making due with the basic blizz macro system i would like to know how you are doing it.

/stop casting
/cast [nomod:shift,nomod:ctrl,nomod:alt,target=Divinestor m] Lesser Healing Wave
/cast [mod:shift,nomod:ctrl,nomod:alt,target=Electrified] Lesser Healing Wave
/cast [nomod:shift,nomod:ctrl,mod:alt,target=Geologic] Lesser Healing Wave
/cast [mod:shift,mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,target=Glacial] Lesser Healing Wave
/cast [mod:shift,nomod:ctrl,mod:alt,target=Enflamed] Lesser Healing Wave
/cast [nomod:shift,mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,target=Electrified] Lesser Healing Wave

The only other choice I know of is bindpad. Bindpad lives in its own world, so I use bindpad + bartender.

I just bind the more complicated stuff to a hotkey in bindpad and use the normal macros for the simple things.

bindpad FTW !!

It has a shared macro tab and 3 private macro tabs (as I remember)

WTF file is also easy to edit in a text editor outside the game

I think the clarification of the macro does work... but is still over 255 characters in length... unless i missed something. I am grateful for the advice on Bindpad and i have downloaded and installed both Bindpad and Bartender4. I didn't know about Bindpad before these posts.

Only problem now is making it so the way i set the position of the bartender bars doesn't change when i resize the wow window.

Anyway, thanks

macaroon allows for macro up to 1023?
if yeh need to make longer macro I guess yeh could look into /click casting ?
