Does anyone have a macro for casting Channeled spells so that my slaves don't stop casting or another solution?

I think you can write at top of every macro: (not tested but think it works)
/stopmacro [channeling]

or you can write like this to not use a spell when you are channeling (and can use @player to cast on yourself for ground targetted spells):
/cast [nochanneling, @player] Blizzard

You can put this first in your marcos - change Spellname and if you use more marcos you need to add it to them too


/stopmacro [channeling:SPELLNAME]

You should be able to do it like this.

Assume you're casting mindflay. And you want to cast SWP, but you don't want SWP to interrupt mindflay.

/cast [nochanneling] Shadow Word: Pain (or whatever the exact spell name is )

If you're not channeling, it will cast, if you are, it won't.

Use this for all spells you don't want to interrupt a channel, and then they won't, and you should be able to channel as part of a rotation without fear of them breaking after the GCD.

By adding the @player can I cast aoe at my tanks feet?

If your tank's feet are on top of the casters feet, then yes.

@Player really means only the caster. I use this with Rain of Fire and Blizzard but the targets have to be standing all in a group on top of the casters. If you want it any distance from the caster I believe it has to involve a click.
