Target of target heal

[lamma14]

Hey there,

So reasonably new to mutliboxing (about 1 week or so)

Ive got a 5 man group consisting of 4 ele shams and 1 resto druid

At the moment im trying to set up a ATG key map so my druid will cast to start with wrath and then a target of target heal, setting up the key maps was fine the only problem is that the macro that i have set up for the target of target heal doesn't seem to be working.

When testing it my druid will cast wrath and then just heal himself, macro for target heal is:

/target focustargettarget
/castsequence reset=10 rejuvenation

If anyone can shed any light if there is something im missing with the implementation or if i have missed a step? will be much appreciated!!

This sounds a little confusing and I've no experience with focustargettarget, but if you just want the target of your target, then you'd use...


/target targettarget

...which will target the target's target who was just the recipient of your wrath spell (which will most likely be one of your Shaman).

I'm confused just writing this out.

[lamma14]

Haha you sir are a gentleman and a scholar.

Even though you are confused by what you wrote it worked just like i wanted haha

Thankyou MiRai, love your videos too btw man!!

Well, for healing, I wouldn't suggest using target swapping. It's cleaner and more reliable to use macro conditionals (http://wowpedia.org/Macro_conditionals).

I'd start with the newbie's guides (http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/36955-Newb-s-Guide-to-Multiboxing-Start-here-if-you-are-brand-new-to-Multiboxing?p=322299&viewfull=1#post322299), of course. From there, understanding macros (http://wowpedia.org/Making_a_macro). And Fitzcarn's Macro Explain (http://www.macroexplain.com/) to see what a macro is trying to do.

If you really have to use this setup for healing, there's a lot of old threads about it -

Just search for focustargettarget.

But if you're using ATG, then you're using ISBoxer, which means you have access to VideoFX (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qHo0FTuGV0),
Repeater Regions (http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/30511-Adv-Healing-w-ISBoxer-Repeater-Regions-HealBot) and Click bars (http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/33614-ISBoxer-Click-Healing-without-addons-(IMAGES-ADDED-by-REQ)).

These are far more efficient than just blind auto-healing that you'd get with a static macro.

I was going to suggest moving to something else besides hard-coded macros, like Video FX, but in my defense...

...I have no defense. =\

Hey khatovar,

wow that Fitzcarn's Macro Explain (http://www.macroexplain.com/) is going to come in super handy thanks! I will have a look through the links you posted thanks, i am using isboxer :)

A castsequence needs more than one element:

/cast [@targettarget, help] reset=combat rejuvenation, null

Would cast a rejuv once at the beginning of combat or

/cast [@targettarget, help] reset=target rejuvenation, null

would cast a rejuv whenever you switched to a new target

If you're trying to do dungeons though you would probably be better off taking the druid feral and doing a more traditional set up.

[Xixillia]

I use something like

/castsequence reset=combat smite,smite,penance
/castsequence [@targettarget] power word: shield,prayer of mending,

on my disc priest. Works awesomely.

/cast [@targettarget, help] reset=combat rejuvenation, null

Would cast a rejuv once at the beginning of combat...
What does the "null" do? Does it just provide the "more than one element," or does it cause the castsequence to hang at the end of the sequence?

[moosejaw]

Null causes it to hang and the macro will fall down to the next line. Null is great for doing a cast sequence at the beginning of a fight to get up dots or debuffs first then continuing with your rotation.

Take a look at the macro compendium (stickied) and you will see examples of how it is used.
