Suggest a better castsequence?

Currently I have my healing macros set up like this.

Macro 1
/target "Main"
/castsequence Power Word: Shield, Renew, Flash Heal

Macro 2
/target "Self"
/castsequence Power Word: Shield, Renew, Flash Heal


Now all this is well and good, however it doesn't track each sequence seperatly per macro, but all at once. I didn't realy anticipate this.

I'm guessing the only way I'll be able to get around this is to do

Macro 1
/target "Main"

Macro 2
/target "Self"

Macro 3
/castsequence Power Word: Shield, Renew, Flash Heal


But that'll still run into the same problems. Or I'll have to use the sequence completely and just set up a Renew, Heal, Shield, etc.. type set up.

Any suggestions?

It's not the same button, but what happens is this..

I press 1 to cast shield on my main.
It then triggers Renew as the next spell through *all* of my cast sequences.
So I have to go through the full sequence to be able to cast a shield on my alt.


I want it where it only effects the "1" sequence and that "2" is still set to cast shield.

Oh. Do this, then:

/target "blah"
/castsequence reset=target Power Word: Shield, Renew, Flash Heal

Do note that this will reset your "main" sequence after you switch back to him.

Alrighty. That may be a bit more what I'm looking for.

So there's no real way to have multiple seperate sequences running at the same time?

That's fine. Just gotta get used to it and see how I want to do my heals.

I would suggest not using a cast sequence, but instead using modifier keys and just directly casting that spell.

Bind the macro to F1 (for instance) and then do:
/cast [nomodifier,target=Main] Renew; [mod:shift,target=Main] PW:S;[mod:ctrl, target=main] Heal

For your other one, bound to F2...
/cast [nomodifier,target=player] Renew; [mod:shift,target=player] PW:S;[mod:ctrl, target=player] Heal

My advice is to avoid the Alt modifier if you are using the F1-F5 keys ... as Alt-F4 won't give a very good result... :shock:

Yeah that would work just as well really. I was doing the Alt F Keys on something once before and I completely forgot about the whole F4 thing... yeah... blond moment.

Not a good idea on this one.

If you shield your main then swap to your priest to PWS him, then swap back to your main to heal, it will pop back to PWS. Since you can't PWS with the debuff up you have to go 30 secs before you can recast sield and advance the macro to renew, flash heal.

Go with what Ghallo said. The best way to heal is to make a seperate key for each party member and mod it to hell. The main reason for this is assist targeting has the delay. Target wth you main send to server, assist with clone send to server then heal. The target= macros are alot faster and slow heals are useless.

This is my F1 macro for example.

#showtooltip
/cast [target=jussa, modifier:lalt] Flash Heal
/cast [target=jussa, modifier:ralt] Power Word: Shield
/cast [target=jussa, modifier:ctrl] Renew
/cast [target=jussa, modifier:shift] Heal
/cast [target=jussa] Renew
