Cleansing Macro

[Mosg2]

My team is DK+4 Rets and I'm looking for a spammable macro that will cleanse everyone in the group. I don't want a "cleanse your buddy" setup because if one of them is dead or incapacitated then it won't shoot off.

So, is there a way to build a spammable macro that will randomly cleanse a party member? Thanks in advance :)

[David]

/targetrandom
/cast spell

I think that one should work, pretty simple but if it does the job.:D

[Mosg2]

But it's going to pick up raid members in any BG and try and cleanse them too. Pardon my French, but fuck'em :)

[Fursphere]

/targetraid
/cleanse

failing that

/castsequence target=toona spell,,,,,,,,,,,,,
/castsequence target=toonb spell,,,,,,,,,,
/castsequence target=toonc spell,,,,,,,,
/castsequence target=toond spell,,,,,
/castsequence target=toone spell,,,

and spam the heck out of it. or just a clicker.

(this has been posted many times before by others btw)

I'm not sure if this would work but...

/castsequence [target=Player] cleanse, [target=Party1] cleanse, [target=Party2] cleanse, [target=Party3] cleanse, [target=Party4] cleanse

I don't know if this macro would even work, but if it does, you're at worst 5 clicks away from cleansing the correct person. This is assuming there's no negatives to attempting to cleanse someone who doesn't need it. (i.e. you get a "nothing to cleanse" popup and no mana loss.)

no, this would not work.

[Mosg2]

Hmmm, I think you're castsequence would work pretty well. Hmmmm.

Noted!

[Flekkie]

/targetraid never targets the caster as far as I can tell, only other raid members. So probably a stack of 5 castsequences (if 5 boxing) is the way to go. I keep meaning to sort my cleansing out, but I am lazy.

Does the /targetrandom command exist? Didn't know about it.

why wouldn't it work if your buddy is dead? if you're not using a "cleanse your buddy" cleanse macro then you're doin it wrong.

[Mosg2]

Because the guy who's dead isn't cleansing anyone.

What I did was make a castsequence like this:

/castsequence [target=Chernabog] Cleanse,,,,
/castsequence ,[target=Hilal] Cleanse,,,
/castsequence ,,[target=Hubal],,
/castsequence ,,,[target=Illat],
/castsequence ,,,,[target=Taalab]

And then changed the names in sequence. So, the first guy starts with Chernabog, then the next guy with Hilal, then Hubal etc. It works perfectly. I can just spam it and it tries to Cleanse every member. If there's anything Cleansable on my guys it goes into overdrive and gets it off in a single global.

You could go with /targetparty. This will cycle through every other member of the party, but no one will ever cure themselves. But with 4 pallies casting this, anything you can cleanse will be gone fast.

/targetparty
/cast Cleanse

[Fursphere]

/targetparty
/targetraid

Will NOT target the person casting it. its targetparty EXCEPT self. I have not idea why its programmed this way. Its rather dumb IMO.

To get past the dead / not in party issues..

/castsequence [target=TOONA,nodead,exists] spell,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I did forget about the staggering..... nice catch. I haven't written one of these in over a year....

[Mosg2]

Fursphere, I did a search and looked through what popped up. Nothing was relevant to what I was looking for... So I posted. Then I posted what worked fine for me.

[Fursphere]

See edit. ;)

I usually just make my Resto Shaman do this (specifically curses on Noth in Naxx), but since technically every toon in my group can do this, (Paladin, Druid, Shaman) you could make every toon do it for a really quick group "purge".

[Mosg2]

Yeah, the problem was getting one button that would Cleanse the Rets and the DK. This sequence is amazing--I can hit it 3 times a second and everyone gets Cleansed as fast as possible. Bwuahahh!

[Naysayer]

Because the guy who's dead isn't cleansing anyone.

the macro still works though... you said it wouldn't shoot off. mine doesn't have a problem when someone goes down.

[Bettysue]

I think what he was saying is using the "cleanse your buddy" method has a small flaw. Seeing as dead people don't cast (macro won't shoot off because you're dead), dead peoples buddies don't get cleansed (problem).

The cast sequences provided fix the problem though the syntax posted looks incorrect.

[Ualaa]

You could go with /targetparty. This will cycle through every other member of the party, but no one will ever cure themselves. But with 4 pallies casting this, anything you can cleanse will be gone fast.

/targetparty
/cast Cleanse


Pretty sure I said it would not target the caster of the cleanse.
However, 3 other casters in the party, who can hit you with a cleanse.

[Iceorbz]

In general its not recommended to clear off spells since most of them reapply it faster then you can get it off. Theres very few spells that I try to get off.

You could really screw yourself over by cleansing your not only wasting a GCD that could be used to pump out another 2k-5k damage to someone.

[Selz]

Okay none of thise macros works correct
the only macro i had succes with is


/targetparty
/cast Cleanse


but when being in a fear or CC it does not target the party player but the enemy so it cant cast

Still missing a prober macro

[Ualaa]

If your party is 4x Ret + 1x DK.

Each of the Ret's has:

/targetparty
/cast Cleanse

Then Ret A, can hit Ret B, Ret C, Ret D or the DK.
And Ret B, can hit Ret A, Ret C, Red D or the DK.
And Ret C can hit Ret A, Ret B, Red D or the DK.
And Red D can hit Ret A, Ret B, Ret C or the DK.

No pally will ever hit themself.
But they have 3 pallies which will eventually hit them.
The macro should work pretty well as is.

[Iceorbz]

i just do
/cast [target=paladin1,exists,nodead][target=paladin2,exists,nodead][target=paladin3,exists,nodead][target=paladin4,exists,nodead][target=castingpaladin] Cleanse

/cast [target=paladin2,exists,nodead][target=paladin3,exists,nodead][target=paladin4,exists,nodead][target=paladin1,exists,nodead][target=castingpaladin] Cleanse

/cast [target=paladin3,exists,nodead][target=paladin4,exists,nodead][target=paladin1,exists,nodead][target=paladin2,exists,nodead][target=castingpaladin] Cleanse

ect, seemed to work well. If i need to cleanse one specific target i click them on vuhdo and everyone cleanses that one target.

[Ellay]

Iceorbz did that method seem to work better for you than targetparty?

[Selz]

And Ret B, can hit Ret A, Ret C, Red D or the DK.

True m8, it works that way.. but the problem is forexample if two paladins resist the fear they should be able to cleanse the DK and the two other paladins who got the fear but for some reason the paladins who resisted the fear are unable to target my party members in a fear all they do is targeting the warlock or priest who did the fear

It works, but still not as great as it could

[Trons]

In BGs the /targetparty will not always target one of your guys.I would either go with Iceorbz's macro if everyone in your team can cleanse or go with the staggered one posted by Mosg2, I'm using a macro similar to Iceorbz's but am planing to set up keybinds for single target cleanses to remove important effects like fear and sheep fast.

[Iceorbz]

Iceorbz did that method seem to work better for you than targetparty?

I never used target party ellay. But like the poster above me said, I set it this way so that it would cleanse myself in a raid or battleground.(that was my thinking).

[Zaelar]

Iceorbz macros are perfect when everyone in your party can cleanse but it doesn't work when one can't. What you can do is use his on the 4 paladins then have a different button to have the paladins cleanse the DK.

[Allestaria]

Or use decursive/healbot/vuhdo and make repeater regions with inner space/isboxer. ( not sure if you can with keyclone)

then all the pallys who are alive will try and cleanse who ever you mouse over.
I use vudo for healing and cleansing. Love not having more macro's and it works every time. No worries about wondering if and when it will get to the needed toon.

[Boylston]

Couldn't you set up a click macro similar to how we're doing DPS macros?


Fundamentally, it looks like DK+4Ret teams need a couple things:

1.) Some way to deal with "Oh Crap" moments, like AoE fear and roots, where you need to get everyone dispelled ASAP.
2.) Coordinated cleansing of everything off a specific target.

Clearly, a grid/vuhdo/mouse repeater region solution is pretty good for #2, but we don't quite have an agreed upon best method for #1.

[Lokked]

Grid/Clique/Repeater Region doesn't work as spectacular as you'd think. All 4 of your Paladins (assuming we are still talking DK/4xPally) will attempt to Cleanse a single target, and I don't know about your guys' connections, but it does slightly trigger the gobal (until the server returns that the spell did not go off) on the Paladins whose cleanse was not needed.

I haven't tried the spammable macros, but they seem more viable method for having multiple Cleanses land on multiple targets.

[Ellay]

Does the Iceorbz macro actually cycle through the team members? and why is it dependant on everyone in the group needing the ability to cleanse? I don't see any commas or cast sequence so wondering how it works. I suppose I could just set it up and try myself... but the servers aren't up atm :)

[suprafro]

The macros iceorbz posted are for a static *cleanse a friend* with the ability to switch friends when a target is dead, So by default with the entire team alive, toona will only cleanse toonb, toonb will only cleanse toonc and so on. If toonb dies, toona will attempt to cleanse toonc instead (until toonc dies)

The problem with this type of setup is that only 4/5 team members are cleansed and there is no redundency to deal with a cleanser being trapped in a GCD or CCd himself when you hit the cleanse button

Not to simply parrot Kromtors, but the big advantage of using a 5 button cleanse setup like he uses is that with 4 cleansers when you are virtually guarenteed to cleanse a CCd target immediatly on the first button press everytime

[Ellay]

Hmm will try out a cast sequence then when the servers come back up. I like the idea more of being able to spam 1 button that works for everyone.
Example, if 3 out of 5 group members are feared the single target cleanse would require 3 globals to accomplish. With a cast sequence spitting out random players it would take 2 globals max. At least that's the way it works in my head. Now if 1 target is getting hardcore focused and they have multiple debuffs that need to be stripped the single target method would be better but in the heat of the battle the only debuffs you want to strip off are CC types, let the dots roll.
