Ret Paladin - Art of War - Flash of Light/ Exorcism ??

[Acidburning]

wondering what people use for their FOL and Exorcism when Art of War procs? What are your macros and how do you manage it? Is there a way to macro it into a /castsequence macro?

Searching around, I found this on another website


/run if UnitBuff("player", "The Art of War") then CastSpellByName("Flash of Light") else RunMacro"24" end

Going to be running 3 rets and 1 dk, 2 of my rets are lvl 67 right now, just starting to prepare.

Thanks,
Acid

I think spellcasting is a protected function, so I dont think that code will work

PROTECTED CastSpellByName (http://www.wowwiki.com/API_CastSpellByName)("name"[, onSelf]) - Cast the specified spell by display name. As of patch 2.0, this function has been restricted to Blizzard signed UI mods. Note: You can still use this function to open Craft windows and activate Lock Picking. According to WoWWiki (http://www.wowwiki.com/World_of_Warcraft_API).

Don't make this too hard...

Before you reach a certain gear level, you probably want to burn all your Art of War procs on Flash Healing your tank or your team. A macro that assists your main and casts FoL is useful, as is a simple /cast [target=yourtankhere] Flash of Light macro.

Ideally, you use a click-to-heal addon with a passthrough/mouse-repeater capability so you can manage healing with the mouse and other movement/attacking with keyboard.

As you gear up, you can make exorcism macros to burn AoW procs on the extra DPS of exorcism. Since it has a cooldown, you'll have AoW procs available shortly again to flash heal whoever needs it.

It's not the end of the world if some of your gang doesn't have an AoW proc ready and they actually cast a FoL, and if you're chasing someone down in PvP, only the characters with AoW ready will be able to cast on the move anyhow.
