castsequence to spam two spells.... -___-

/cast [target=tankname, mod:alt][target=targettarget, help] Lesser Healing Wave; [target=targettarget, harm] Lightning Bolt

Thats not what the OP was asking for.

Still an interesting option though. :)

i know. my suggestion would take out the whole cast sequence thing. im personally against it unless its for some kinda of round robin action or two or three spells that always go well with each other.
in any case, i think the OP is free to try my suggestion and see if it works better. and ask what it does, since i think some people may not be clear as to what the macro actually does.

Macros Calling Macros

Had the same general questions. I haven't messed around with the 2 castsequences too much but it is possible. I would think if you put enough comma's in between where you want a heal to go you could have an number of options. As long as your spamming of the dps button stays somewhat consistant.

the two line cast sequence should not work simply because wow views an empty cast sequence as a successful non-cast and thus will not go to the next line. Or at least it shouldn't work.
one I am not sure about is having a secondary target "might"

something like /castsequnce [target=target] [target=maintank] LB, LB, LB, Heal, LB, LB, LB, Heal

as when it hit's the lightening bolts it goes with the first target as long as it is a legit target for the spell. Once it hits the heal, the (presumably) harm target is no longer a viable target so it should go with the secondary target.
I have not tested this, but it is a theory. :P

The 2 castsequences does work nesting 2 targets doesn't work

You can use comma's in a two cast sequences, as long as they're not trying to cast spells at the same time it will work.

So you could have:
/castsequence LB, LB, LB,, LB, LB, LB,,
/castsequence ,,, CH,,, CH

You could also do this with modifier keys fairly easily:
/cast [nomod, target=???] LB
/cast [mod, target=TANK] CH

Or another way:
/cast [help] CH; [harm] LB

Assuming you have 4 shaman...

You are asking to have 1/4 of your casts to be a heal, the other 3/4 to be a nuke.

Solution = Have 3 shaman nuking, 1 shaman healing non-stop.

Result = Spamming 1 key yeilds 3 nukes to each heal.

Also if you wanted to heal less then 1/4 casts you can use an idea other people mentioned and use a modifer key on your healing shaman.

/cast [mod:ctrl, target=TANK] Heal; [target=NPC/Assist Focus] LB

This way say you spam 2 to nuke. You could spam 2 still, then when you wanted to toss the tank a heal you hit Ctrl+2. So 2,2,Ctrl+2,2,2,Ctrl+2 would result in 11 nukes to evey 1 heal, give or take depending on latency. This could also be done for more then 1 shaman, even 2 like you originally asked. Or all 4.

Does this type of thing work. I thought you could only have 1 target in your macros. You are over simplifying the problem with your 1/4th of your casts being heals use 1 shaman to heal. While this does work out well wouldn't it be better if you could come up with some rotations so your healer can be dpsing also. How would you suggest taking 4 shaman and doing 1/28th of the casts heals?

If you use 2 castsequences in the same macro as suggested you can get something like this. I think the real key is trying to figure out how much healing your tank is going to need. I was talking this over with a buddy today and I think you might have to rewrite macros for every fight (ie more or less healing).

It appears this will do what you are looking for:

As each sequence can be a full macro you can change targets ...

Its written by Cogwheel so I assume its legal.

Boy this opens up some things ......

I got it to work with two /castrandom statements and commas ... :P

Trying to do a /castrandom [harm] spell1, spell2, spell3, [help] lesser healing wave ???

It works well for a spam solution ...
