Hey All, looking for some help here.

Currently I've got my power word shield setup on all five priests as below

/cast [target=main-target, nomod] [target=player, mod:alt] Power Word:Shield

This works fine for now but its going to have to change shortly. The problem is that when I cast power word shield on the mains target due to latency, they ALL cast it and the target ends up with one power word shield and four or five debuffs which is a waste of four cooldowns. I'm thinking of keeping this settup but adding another five buttons for each priest to cast shield but it seems like a waste of space so I'm hoping to put it all in one macro with a CS. My question is can you use modifiers such as target= or nomod in a CS ie:

/castsequence reset=10 [target=main-target, nomod] ,,,,Power Word:Shield; [target=player, mod:alt] Power Word: Shield
(I dont think you can :/)

or do you have any alternatives?

Thanks in advance,

Tasty

i've tried to setup a target castsequence with my 5 priests, but haven't been able to get it to work properly. You *can* use modifiers in castsequence, but I think i've only been able to get it working with 1 target specified, not when there's multiple targets in the CS.

I'm pretty sure you can string multiple castsequence macros (one on each line) that may help :

/cast sequence reset=10 [target=main-target,nomod] ,,,, Power Word:Shield;
/cast sequence reset=10 [target=player, mod:alt] Power Word: Shield

not tested though ...

maybe you could use round-robin for this?

Exactly my thoughts. I used to do it on my tank for fear ward.

Toon 1: /cast [target=focus] reset=30 power word: shield,,,
Toon 2: /cast [target=focus] reset=30 ,power word: shield,,
Toon 3: /cast [target=focus] reset=30 ,,power word: shield,
Toon 4: /cast [target=focus] reset=30 ,,,power word: shield

seems like you should leave the macro on one and use the mod=self on all 4 so cast on tank then 4 cast on self
