Blessing of Protection macro

[Gadaí]

I wanted to create a macro that would allow my main char (a protection paladin) to BoP the target of his target if his Righteous Defence taunt was resisted. I originally thought that using a modified version of a healing macro I used to use back in my holy days would work:

/cast [modifier:alt,target=player] Flash of Light; [target=target,help] Flash of Light; [target=targettarget,help] Flash of Light; [target=player] Flash of Light

This would cast Flash of Light on myself if no target was selected or alt was held down, cast it on my target if friendly or cast it on my targets target if my target was an enemy and their target was a friendly (great for bosses like Solarian with her random Arcane bolts at members of the raid). In any case - the BoP version of this:

/cast [modifier:alt,target=player] Blessing of Protection; [target=target,help] Blessing of Protection; [target=targettarget,help] Blessing of Protection; [target=player] Blessing of Protection

Doesn't seem to work at all - I knew that there have been changes to the macro system syntax since the last time I used this so I'm wondering if my macro is a victim of that or a more basic lack of understanding on my part regarding macro syntax in general. In either case some help to get this right would be appreciated if one of the macroletes here has the time/knowledge/energy ;)

Would the following work?


/cast [target=player,mod:alt][target=target,help][target=targettarget,help][target=player] Blessing of Protection

I know it doesn't change the logic of your macro but I am pretty sure you can line up the logic sections like that since you want to cast the same spell regardless of the target.

/cast [modifier:alt, target=player] Blessing of Protection; [target=target, help, exists] Blessing of Protection; [target=targettarget, help, exists] Blessing of Protection; [target=player] Blessing of Protection

Try that. :p

Ahh dang, I knew something was missing but couldn't put my finger on it!

Off topic, but had to comment on Team Harry. You should call your next team Team Sally. Then you can have them meet somewhere...

What about a mouseover option?

I use it in my righteous defence macro so for BoP it would be

/cast [target=mouseover,help][target=mouseovertarget,help] Blessing of protection

Yeah that would work, but I can see why he is trying to do it this way. I have the same thing for my taunt macro and what is nice is that it allows taunting/BoPing without actually selecting anyone. You just keep the mob targeting and whoever it has agro on will get the effect. Essentially just works like a ranged taunt on the monster when under the hood it is casting on a friendly. It is great to not have to take the moment to try and figure out who it needs to be cast on only to find the mob switched again. :)
