As you can see on the screen I have 5 Pallies in Westfall. Soon I might be starting DM and keep farming the Rhank'zor for his nice 2handers. But before that I need to develop handy healing macro that will save any char when in a pinch.
First thing I though off was a Lay on Hands macro on all characters with single cast each in a sequence. So now I though of something like that:

1st Char: /cast [target=focustarget] Lay on Hands,,,,
2nd Char: /cast [target=focustarget] ,Lay on hands,,,
3rd Char: /cast [target=focustarget] ,,Lay on Hands,,
4th Char: /cast [target=focustarget] ,,,Lay on Hands,
5th Char: /cast [target=focustarget] ,,,,Lay on Hands

Works like this:
master targets a slave, hits macro, other unit gets wounded, targets it, hit macro.

Im not sure if it would work well...What do you guys think?

If you're using Keyclone I would just use this on round robin.

/cast [target=focustarget] Lay on Hands
If you don't use Keyclone, I'm sure most of the other programs have a similar feature.

However that's more for emergency healing. For just healing in general I use this on my pally team


#showtooltip
/use [modifier:shift, target=player] flash of light; [modifier:ctrl, target=player] holy light; [target=focus] flash of light

Pressing the button casts 5x FoL on your focus
Button + Shift = FoL on each individual toon
Button + Ctrl = HL on each individual toon

If you're interested in more macros, I got a list of most of the macros I use on my 5x pally team listed in this thread. [How-To] 5x Paladin Discussion ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=22868')

Round robin on keyclone is a good idea, if you can't/won't/don't use keyclone adjust your macros to this:


/cast [target=focustarget,help][target=focus,help] reset=XX Lay on Hands,,,,

where XX is a number for seconds (strange to use for such a long cooldown ability) or a modifier keypress that you use rarely like control or something. Otherwise in the heat of battle you may doublepress or have a key not register, then later on 2 or 3 LoH will be cast at once and you will ;( . Also the second target parameter will cast it on your focus assuming that is your tank, and your focus is not targetting a friendly.

EDIT: Beat to the punch I see, Tdog has some great macros to start on, but he uses too many modifiers for my taste. I usually end up just mashing one or two keys while trying to keep that enemy player in range of my slaves, and I forget what modifiers to hit anymore.
