Hi, I recently started dual-boxing and I'm converting my lvl 70 paladin's macros to help out with my new lvl 10 'main'. Currently the macro is:

/castsequence reset=10 Seal of Righteousness,Judgement

How do I use [target=focustarget] so that my lvl 70 paladin can help my main grind?

I apologize if this has been answered before. I tried the search but couldn't find anything similar.

Thanks in advance!

/castsequence [target=focustarget] reset=10 Seal of Righteousness, Judgement

Untested. If it doesn't work just switch the "[target=focustarget]" and the "reset=10" bits around but I think I got it in the right order.

I tried the following:

/castsequence [target=focus,target=none] reset=10 Seal of Righteousness,Judgement
/castsequence [target=focustarget,target=none] reset=10 Seal of Righteousness,Judgement

And I tried alternating the [target=focus...] with reset=10 and it didn't work.

Specifically it doesn't judge.

I have another idea, I'll post it if it works....

Try


/castsequence [target=focustarget, exists, harm][exists, harm] reset=10 Seal of Righteousness, Judgement

And your initial post didn't have a space after the "," between the two spells. I think WoW gets its panties in a bunch over little things like that.

I'm fairly sure this will work:

/castsequence [target=focustarget,target=target] reset=10 Seal of Righteousness,Judgement

If it doesn't, I'll repost a solution. At least it's judging.

I am fairly sure it won't.

Rikson9,

As Thinus pointed out, that definitely won't work, you can only have one target= per [].

his post was right, the conditions should come be for the castsequence options, with one slight modification, it doesn't check to see if your focustarget is alive

/castsequence [target=focustarget, nodead, harm][nodead, harm] reset=10 Seal of Righteousness, Judgement

also

How long are you waiting before judging the seal? if you wait more than 10 secs it will just recast SoR

How long are you waiting after judging the seal before trying to cast it again?

reset= works like this
1st cast: start timer
2nd cast: is timer finished? No? the cast next in sequence AND RESET TIMER
3rd Cast: is timer finished? No? the cast next in sequence AND RESET TIMER. BUT there is no spell to cast
4th Cast: is timer finished? No? the cast next in sequence AND RESET TIMER. BUT there is no spell to cast
5th Cast: is timer finished? No? the cast next in sequence AND RESET TIMER. BUT there is no spell to cast
etc...

so either remove the reset or don't spam it.

I started using the following and it seems to be working:

/castsequence [target=focustarget,exists,nodead][target=target] reset=10 Seal of Righteousness,Judgement

I'm judging Righteousness whenever I am able.

Your macro with:

/castsequence [target=focustarget, nodead, harm][nodead, harm] reset=10 Seal of Righteousness, Judgement

seems interesting. I'm going to give that a try. Thanks a lot!

However, casting the last spell in a castsequence will make the sequence start over, even if you have had your reset timer set up.

So there is never 'no spell to cast' for castsequences. In your example, after the judgement the macro would have cast the Seal again.

On my paladins the only way I can get the macro to work like I want it to is


/cast Judgement
/castsequence reset=10 Seal of <foo>, Judgement

The first Judgement makes sure you're not wasting your seal and since judgement doesn't start global cooldown even if it is not cast it wont stop the macro.

You can add [target=focustarget, nodead, harm] to avoid the error messages on screen. I personally like to keep them there so I know something is wrong when my screen goes red.

This is what I use:
/castsequence reset=30 Seal of Righteousness, Judgement

I use a separate button for setting my focus; assist, or I manually click a target which I do a lot since the paladin is my tank.

Since judgement aint on a GCD with your seals, you can use:
#showtooltip Judgement
/cast Seal of Righteous
/cast [target=focustarget] Judgement

That SHOULD work, however, untested. :)
Setting #showtooltip Judgement, will show Judgement's CD :) Hope It helped. And hope it worked ;)

I use a macro on my pala for seal of justice which is:
/cast Seal of Justice
/cast Judgement

* That's not for multiboxing though.

You should cast the Judgement before the Seal. If you already have a Seal active you will Judge that Seal and then refresh your Seal.

That is true. I just posted what I use to stop druids from running basicly ;)
