My Independent healing "macros" (castsequence on steroids)
I was asked about my healing macros, and was about to answer I don't have any!, but I thought it was worth explaining why.
The way GCP operates, many of the things that would traditionally done in macros are done in the GCP command language. This is a much richer language than the standard macro syntax, and allows a more flexible approach than "macro" writing.
The feature I use for healing is independent key counts. When used instead of castsequence, the main benefit is that when you set up the GCP equivalent of castsequence, each key operates independantly.
For example, I have one touch heals for all my toons (I use F8-F12) for this.
I use druid healers. so the spell sequence is Rejuvination, Regrowth and Healing Touch.
On the first press of each key, I get Rejuvination, on the second Regrowth etc - just like castsequence. The difference is, if I press F8,F9,F8,F10 I'll get Rejuvination on char1,Rejuvination on char2, Regrowth on char 1, and Rejuvination on char3. This is more instinctive.
In other words, for the character that needs most healing, I just hit the button more often. I also use the GCP groups to balance between DPS and healing (see the switching roles Video for an demonstration)
These two techniques mean that my setup is simpler to operate and much quicker to reconfigure when I get new spells.
My healing macro is:
Code:
<<Heals>>
KeyReset 8000
if %KeyCount% = 1
cast Rejuvenation on Mooarch
endif
if %KeyCount% = 2
cast Regrowth on Mooarch
endif
if %KeyCount% = 3
cast Healing Touch on Mooarch
KeyReset
endif
I have the equivalent for each character.
If this looks confusing at first, don't worry - it's generated automatically by the setup wizard when you install the program (or just re-run the wizard when you get new spells)
