I am tri-botting a mage,lock, and a priest. Is there a macro that can buff AI and Fort on each target with one button?
Thanks.

Try an addon called "Smartbuff" it let's you specify for each character which buffs you want them to apply to themselves AND each party member, you can then assign the Smartbuff addon to any keybind and 'et viola' buffing from every character for everybody!

you could use the following

Mage:

/cast [target=party] Arcane Intellect

Priest

/cast [target=party] Fortitude

the target=party should cycle through all party members.

Personally, with my pally / druid / Shammy combo I use the F1 to F5 keys to individually select each member then have [target=focus], if you have pet classes, a 2nd press on the party member select Function key will select their pet

http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info4584-SmartBuff.htmlDoes this still work with 2.4.2? I started to DL it the other day but I noticed the version Curse has is wicked old. There is also a program called BuddyBuff but it looks pretty bulky.

I redid it and got this to work however:


#showtooltip
/targetparty
/cast Power Word: Fortitude

/cast [target=party] Power Word: Fortitude

Will work. The above example only used Fortitude... you have to spell out the entire spell name. It works just requires the name spelled out :) But if you got yours to work! Wewt props to you!!! :thumbsup:

I couldn't get that to work :( The [target=party] part. With the showtooltip in there I know it has targeted the correct spell, but it won't cycle through my party.

Get the smartbuff addon. it will do everything you are wanting and keeps track of re-buff timers.

I agree with said advice. It will even save you a macro and actionbar slot :)

/targetparty
/cast Power Word: Fortitude

Works perfectly, thanks a lot!

I'd like to ask you to help me with an addition?
I want to buff the party with Blessing of Wisdom, but if i target the char named Golleo i'd cast Blessign of sanctuary on him.

I've tried this:
/targetparty [target=Golleo] /cast Blessing of Sanctuary;
/cast Blessing of Wisdom

But i'm not sure how to make it actually work :S

is there no way to make it cycle through the party members including pets?

smartbuff ('http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/2071/'), just to repeat the answer... works like a charm...just bind a key with key bindings to all your guys, and youll be buffing like a badass

no extra macros needed



can use Healbot ('http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/3802/') as well..i think the combo is ideal for anysituation

You could always create a cast sequence macro, something like this:

/castsequence [target=toon1] Power Word: Fortitude, [target=toon2] Power Word: Fortitude, [target=pet1] Power Word: Fortitude

Then do a similar cast sequence for your mage's Arcane Int. You'd just have to press the button a few times to buff your whole party.

-Please note this is a psudo macro, since I'm at work and can't verify syntax.

I've run Smartbuff and lately ZOMGBuffs even when I single box for some time now, definitely makes it easier. ZOMG is just nice for pallies as it autodetects spec and casts based on that, even single target buffs...
