I spent the last two days trying to get this to work, and I've had some success so I thought I'd share. Basically I want my Pally Healer to autocast beacon of light. I find it really annoying that a useful spell has to be constantly reapplied. Makes me feel like a stupid monkey :)
So, if you focus a target this will work . . . sort of. What I noticed is that if you button mash it will only cast Beacon of Light and ignore the castsequence. I'm guessing that the castsequence has a small delay talking to the server and the /cast does not. So, if they want to "fix" this glitch, they'd just have both commands talk to the server in the same way.
BTW, this macro makes pally healing super easy :)
#show
/castsequence reset=6 holy shock, flash of light, flash of light, flash of light
/cast [@focus] beacon of light
/use 13
/use 14
Anyway, based on a lot of trial and error, I don't think the /cast fall through is something they intended. It glitches and I'm thinking the actual functionality is also just a glitch. I'm reworking my macros to avoid the fall through just in case.
Can anyone think of a way to avoid the button mashing glitch? Is there a better way to auto-apply buff spells? The /castsequence spell, null doesn't work with buffs. Tried it over and over, works with dots and hunter's mark but not buffs.
