Healing macro help

[Clovis]

Here's a healing macro that should help with your group heals.

Previously I used a chain heal that was staggered (I found that if all chain heals are cast togather they wouldn't fully bounce) but chain heal just takes forever in arena.

So now I have two heals -- both use lesser healing wave.

The first targets another shaman and heals -- if that shaman is dead however it can heal self or another shaman specified in the macro.

/cast [target=cloverine,nodead] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=clovina,nodead] lesser healing wave

So the macro will have Clovina (shaman 1) cast lesser healing wave on Cloverine (shaman 2) -- however if Cloverine is dead or missing it will go to the second line and heal Clovina instead (self).

You could list the whole team I suppose too and have it cycle through the team going down a list of dead shamans until it hits a live one.

/cast [target=cloverine,nodead] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=clovina,nodead] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=clovine,nodead] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=clovianas,nodead] lesser healing wave

The second heal is just every shaman assist the main and cast lesser healing wave togather.

Best bet i can think of is something like this:
/target clovina
/target [nodead] cloverine
/cast Lesser Healing Wave

that way if targets Clovina, then if cloverine is alive, targets that one and casts, but if cloverine is dead, keeps clovina targetted. Not 100% sure that will work, but im at work, and cant check my macro sources :)

I just tested it out with:

/cast [target=cloverine,nodead] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=clovine,nodead] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=clovianas,nodead] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=clovina,nodead] lesser healing wave

It works -- it goes down the list so each shaman targets the next one if that shaman is dead so it should always be casting a heal on someone every time regardless of who is dead as long as at least 1 is alive.

Shaman 1:

/cast [target=cloverine,nodead] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=clovine,nodead] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=clovianas,nodead] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=clovina,nodead] lesser healing wave

Shaman 2:
/cast [target=clovine,nodead] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=clovianas,nodead] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=clovina,nodead] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=cloverine,nodead] lesser healing wave

Shaman 3
/cast [target=clovianas,nodead] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=clovina,nodead] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=cloverine,nodead] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=clovine,nodead] lesser healing wave

Shaman 4
/cast [target=clovina,nodead] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=cloverine,nodead] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=clovine,nodead] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=clovianas,nodead] lesser healing wave

That was my first guess, but does it cast the second lesser even if the first one goes off?

[Clovis]

No it will only cast 1 LHW.

Think of the list as a priority list -- if shaman 1 is alive, heal him and if not it goes down the list until it finds one that is alive, ultimately healing self if that shaman is the last one standing.

You could use a 1-liner for each. Not quite as readable, but fewer characters overall.

Shaman 1:
/cast [target=cloverine,nodead][target=clovine,nodead][target=clovianas,nodead][target=clovina,nodead] lesser healing wave

Shaman 2:
/cast [target=clovine,nodead][target=clovianas,nodead][target=clovina,nodead][target=cloverine,nodead] lesser healing wave

Shaman 3:
/cast [target=clovianas,nodead][target=clovina,nodead][target=cloverine,nodead][target=clovine,nodead] lesser healing wave

Shaman 4:
/cast [target=clovina,nodead][target=cloverine,nodead][target=clovine,nodead][target=clovianas,nodead] lesser healing wave
