How do you heal when you have Pal, Mage x 3, Priest?

I think you guys are making it too complicated :p

I use the numpad for all my healing purposes.

Keys, + {plus}, 9, 6, 3, . {period} are keybounds set to macros. In the macro I have it target party1, party2, etc respectively to the keys, and also have it do /stopcasting in case I need to start a heal right away. Then I use the other keys for my abilities.

Numpad 7 is Heal, 4 is Lesser Heal, 5 is Flash heal, 1 is Renew, and 2 is Shield. I don't use 8 or 0 since I don't have any other heals as my PvE team is only 24.

I do plan on getting an Xkeys pro since I'll run out soon enough.

I'm using a similar setup (pala,priest,mage,warlock,shaman) which is based on assists, so every toon has targeted the mob, which should be focused damaged.
(I'm using this method, to use focus for cc)

For healing I simple use the following makro:

Code:

---

/cast [mod:shift,target=targettarget,help,nodead][mod:shift,help][mod:shift,target=self]Flash Heal;
[target=targettarget,help,nodead][help][target=self] Greater Heal

---

which casts Greater Heal (no modifier) or Flash Heal (modifier:shift) in the following order:

1. on the targets-target if its freindly (which should normaly be the tank)
2. on the target if its friendly (mostly used out of fight)
3. on self, if there is no target, the target-target and the target is an enemy

As I'm wirting I'm thinking of adding perhaps:

[mod:ctrl,target=focus,help]Flash Heal;[mod:alt,target=focus,help]Greater Heal

to the statement, so that I could set my Tank or another Toon as focus target of my healer, to have a fast way to heal them.
(I'm using my shamie to heal, so there is no cc use for his focus target)
(Couse there are moments, you want to heal your tank, but the current target isn't targeting him, for example cause another toon draws aggro, the target heals another target or flees...)

so the resulting macro woud be:

Code:

---

/cast [mod:shift,target=targettarget,help,nodead][mod:shift,help][mod:shift,target=self]Flash Heal;
[target=targettarget,help,nodead][help][target=self]Greater Heal;
[mod:ctrl,target=focus,help]Flash Heal;[mod:alt,target=focus,help]Greater Heal

..honestly my toons are only lvl60 so no opinion if this works in lvl70 dungeons...

CYA

PS: sry, for the language, its not my native one...

Similar to Syro I just use numpad pass throughs to the healer/DPS . I use 0, ., 1, 2, 3 for DPS/counters and then 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,/, *, -, + for healing. I typically set them to:

4 /cast [target=player] Greater Heal
5 /target player1
6 /target player2
7 /target player3
8 /target player4
/ /cast [target=player] Circle of Healing
* /cast Renew
- /cast Greater Heal
+ /cast [target = player1] Greater Heal

So to heal any character I simply hit 5-8 and then either * or - depending on the type of heal needed. I use + to allow me to heal the MT while keeping another party member targeted. I reserved 9 to use for any 'specials' I'll require for particular boss fights.

Gadai, you playing a four man team? If you're running five, don't forget to add your priest in case you need to heal him. :D

I run the same team but do things differently, I run everything off my priest, all my key binds are saved for mages/pally, all my healing is done with clique and grid. My priest picks the targets and everyone assists him, even the pally.

I made a large post on this topic a couple days ago in a thread on Priest Healing:

priest healing

Basically, I have two buttons setup for combat spamming, one for passive healing, one for boss fight, or heroic trash healing.

I also have two buttons for each party member for explicit healing. Abolish disease is setup similarly.

Circle of healing has its own button. Also, make sure you have Fade mapped near circle of healing.

I use voicecontrol for the heals - all macros are bound to the numpad, so I say "mage one heal, mage two heal, pally heal" and the priest heals - nice and no lag at all. For renew I say "mage one renew" etc etc etc. If I want heal everyone I say 'heal all" - nice. Greater heal is "mage one big heal" etc etc lol.
The mages and lock are tied to the command "Attack" which sends out firebolts and shadowbolt, usually this is enough to one shot mobs. I can also say "Scorch" which scorches :) and also dots from the lock and priest. For the pally there is no voice control and I just use the xkeys pro.
It's so much easier using voice for heals as the micromanagement for a
multiclass group is enough to make you head spin combined the
micromangement required for a palladin, if I didn't use voice I'd be even worse than I am now lol. I found that longer voice command work a lot better.

Does that work well? I thought of doing that but it seems a bit strange, how do you handle mobs moving behind your pally?

Ah - the macro on 4 targets the priest herself (the [target=player] switch does it) and then the Unit ID's Party1/Party2/Party3/Party4 ignore the player - effectively counting as 1st below her on the Group display (Party1), etc :D

I have my arrow keys only bound on the pally, so he can move freely using them. It works well enough, i have keybinds that put him on follow to my priest, so position team move pally out, throw my shield, press follow to get my pally where i want him, then just AOE everything :)
