Priest/hhunter macros

Hey guys, long time reader first time dual boxer!

I was having some thoughts on healing my hunter and his pet and I thought i'd use a macro that switches from hunter to pet depending on a modifier.

For instance i'd press 4 and the priest casts lesser heal on the pet. I want to press alt+4 and then it targets the hunter instead (maybe even have shift+4 for self heal). Is this possible? I currently have /cast [mod:shift, target=jager] lesser heal;
/cast [nomod:shift, target=jager-pet] lesser heal. Not working however, it just casts it on the pet. How would I go about fixing this?

Cheers,
Mog.

Try:

/cast [mod:shift,target=jager] Lesser Heal; [nomod:shift,target=Jager-pet] Lesser Heal

Still not working :( This is weird.

Fixed it. Forgot I had something bound to shift+key. Fail :( Thanks mate!

EDIT: If anyone is interested this worked for healing the hunter, his pet and the priest

/cast [mod:ctrl,@Jager] Lesser Heal; [nomod:,@Jager-Pet] Lesser Heal; [mod:alt,@Meister] Lesser heal

Ok another question now, I have it working to heal between the hunter and his pet with /cast [mod:ctrl,@Jager] Lesser Heal; [nomod:ctrl,@Jager-pet] Lesser Heal. How would I add myself into that? Is it possible to have like "[nomod:ctrl, alt,@Meister] Lesser Heal"?

rather mod instead of nomod on the last one, but i'm not sure how the syntax is supposed to be to have multiple, try checking the FTL thread or the wiki.

Yes you are confusing your switches. Nomod means no key press, mod looks for a keypress. You can have a lot of combinations, more than most people can remember.

Give yourself a unique modifier or combination of modifiers, that is not used elsewhere.
With the argument, target=player (or @player).

One Mod:
[mod:alt,nomod:ctrl,shift]
[mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,shift]
[mod:shift,nomod:alt,ctrl]

Two Mods:
[mod:alt,ctrl,nomod:shift]
[mod:alt,shift,nomod:ctrl]
[mod:ctrl,shift,nomod:alt]

Thanks for clearing that up. I think many really don't "Get" this until now :o

I don't use modifiers in my macros. I have a Disc Priest that leads 3 Hunters on one of my teams. I've got three bears that act as the tanks, so healing multiple tanks drains my mana fast, but I use Healbot on my main which happens to be the Priest. I've got my Hunters macros to /assist whatever I have selected on my Priest, but I use Healbot so I don't deselect my targets. You can use the addon's window to click heal anyone in your party. You can also set it up to where each mouse click does something different. Very effective tool for my setup. Most people run with a healer on /follow and another window as a slave, not me, I started this way since my main Priest was already on my main account. Give it a shot if you haven't already. Takes some of the stress out of figuring out the macro system.
