Buffing Macro

[Subversion]

Currently trying to multibox a Druid and 2 Locks, only level 4 at the moment so limited abilities. I've never really delved into macros before though, so I'm working it out as I go along.

Initially I had a buff macro on the 2 Locks, that buffed themselves with Demon Skin. Just a nice simple "/cast Demon Skin". The same button did absolutely nothing on Druid because she had no buffs at that point.

Now the Locks have Demon Skin for themselves and the Druid has Mark of the Wild to buff all 3 chars.

So... is there any way to write a macro so that I can press the same keybinding 3 times and it will do the following:

1st press: Druid buffs Druid with Mark of the Wild
2nd press: Druid buffs Warlock1 with Mark of the Wild
3rd press: Druid buffs Warlock2 with Mark of the Wild, Warlocks buff themselves with Demon Skin

I guess that with the locks I can set the macro to do a cast sequence, something like:

"/castsequence reset=2 ,,Demon Skin"

Maybe? I don't know.

But for the Druid is there any way to make him switch targets between buffs?

:pinch: Macros are confusing.

/targetparty
/cast Mark of the Wild

that should work,

[opt]

setup this macro
druid:
/targetparty
/cast Mark of the Wild
warlock:
/castsequence demon skin,,

set it up on keystroke 9 or something
hit 9 3 times, warlocks will cast demon skin once and they will all recieve motw.

But as far as I'm aware (can't test at the moment) Mark of the Wild is not a group buff; it's a single player buff. Would the /targetparty command target each member of the party individually and buff each time I pressed the macro?

If it was GIFT of the Wild (the level 50+ version) I'd have managed a macro fairly easily ;)

test it. You won't love it, but it will get the job done with some patience. The /targetparty command cycles through your party just like you TAB target enemy mobs. So you'd have to hit the button once, wait for the GCD, then hit it again, wait for the GCD, then hit it again. PLUS, I believe all your party members have to be on your screen. (not confirmed since i stopped using this macro a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure it was one of the reasons I stopped using it.)

I use SmartBuff ('http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/2071/') . It hasn't been updated for 2.4, however from the character selection screen click on the addons option (on the bottom left of your screen) and then toggle Load out of date addons. You can play around with the settings. Word of warning, it's a spectacular addon and if it ever stops working you'll be forced to go back to PITA buffing.

I use SmartBuff too, and I added this to my BigButton macro:


/click [nocombat] SmartBuff_KeyButton

So I automatically rebuff every time I hit that macro, which is basically after every fight.

Thanks guys :D
