Where the Hex that's macro?

[Coltimar]

I was following a thread about how to use Hex in a macro with a team using Focus but I can't find it. You can't search for "Hex" as it's too small and when you search for "Hex macro" all you get is posts containing "macro". I did a search for the word "hex" in the titles of the first four pages of macros to no avail. Does anyone have a good way to implement this that they are using and want to share?

Id say find a sheep macro, and just trade out sheep for hex.

Yeah, my trouble is that I use my focus for targeting. I was looking for a way to Hex and re-Hex as needed :/

If you use focus for targeting then you could have your alts target their designated hex target for recasts, and keep dpsing your focustarget?

dunno if it was fixed in 3.08 but when wotlk launched you couldn't hex [target=focus] or anything else, just your direct current target. so thats probably why you don't see too many macros like this.

if you use jamba it has some targeting macro stuff built in that would be good for this kind of thing. i never bothered hexing anything in pve, and in PVP i would assume its not great due to distance requirements and burning a GCD casting hex may not be great (dunno). you could do something like:

/targetenemy
/cast hex

and maybe even stick in say 2 TE's on one shaman, 3 on another, etc so they each theoretically target different mobs.

My understanding is that you still can't use focus with Hex. Is this right?

I use focus to hex / shock in 2v2 all the time works fine. I also use focus to hex when im pveing with the shaman + tank setup.

how I handled hex, I usually use focus targeting so I used something like
/cast [target=focus-target] lightning bolt

this allows me to have each character target his own target.
so I have my main place raid targets on all of the targets for hexing or sheeping
I have a button that allows me to set the target on each alt such as
/assist focus
so I have my main target something then have one of my shaman do /assist focus ( you can do this with a round robin key or a special key for each alt )
the xperl display shows what the alt is targeting and the little raid target displays so that I know each shaman is on a different raid target.

and on the hex button I didn't even bother to make a macro, i just put hex in there ( /cast hex )
pull to the group and press my hex button when they get close.

Thanks Catamer, that's what I was looking for.
