Chain Heal is indeed my current workaround, it works well enough, but is also results in a drop in DPS.
A real workaround would be to change my targeting setup completely, perhaps to switch to a leaderless focusless setup of some kind. But this is too much work for me right now, so I will have to accept losing a character once in a while :)
I just have one button heals on each toon. F8 for main -> F12 for toon5 My offensive one button stuff is on F1->F5, so I can put one hand on each. That way I can keep up the DPS and heals.
I've got a few configurations.
1x Paladin (dual spec, Prot main spec, Prot/Holy off-spec).
3x Shaman (Elemental)
1x Shaman (dual spec, Elem/Enh main, Resto/Enh off-spec).
For the most part, I'm running with:
- Prot Pally + 4x Elemental Spacegirls.
In this configuration, button 4 is Lesser Healing Wave, assisting the Paladin, using my macro from earlier in this thread.
Button 9 is Chain Heal, which targets the Paladin, and then jumps from there.
Water totems are either 3x Healing and 1x Mana or 1x Healing, 1x Mana and 2x Cleansing (keybinds for each).
Basically 4 is my... ut-oh button. And 9 is my AoE heal, assuming 3x Healing Stream isn't enough.
For more challenging PvE stuff (heroics), I run:
- Prot Pally + 3x Elemental and 1x Resto.
In this configuration, button 4 is Lesser Healing Wave, but only the Elemental shammies, again assisting pally as above.
Button 9 is Chain Heal, same as above.
The Resto has Lesser Healing Wave and Healing Wave on 5 and 6, and Earth Shield on a G-key. Assisting the pally, as above.
I also have G-keys for Riptide and Healing Wave to specific toons.
Again 4 is my ut-oh button for DPS to help with heals. 5 and 6, are dedicated healer heals.
9 is the same chain healing hitting the pally. Same water totems.
Last configuration is for pvp's.
I run 1x (Prot/Holy... 19/52/0) and 4x Elemental.
The spacegirls are the same as my default Elemental set up from above.
The pally has Grid, and via GridCustomLayouts always has the spacegirls visible.
I'm still messing around with my Clique set up. Thinking something like...
Alt-Left Click Flash of Light, Alt-Right Click Holy Light, Ctrl-Right Click Cleanse.
I use target=targettarget for my assist method, so basically use the Paladin to target.
The spacegirls cast at the Paladin's target.
And the Pally can heal, via mouse-over of a unit frame without changing targets.
Via Click castsequences, Pally has the 96969 macro on 1, Shammies have Flame Shock, Lava Burst, Lightning Macro also on 1.
If I alt-click 1, the Pally does nothing... conserves mana, when nuking things not close to us.
2 is Chain Lightning for AoE on the space girls, or Holy Shield alone when Pally is on the Holy spec.
3 is the burst Elem Mastery, Flame Shock, Lava Burst, Chain Lightning.
Other keys are individual totem groups, 1x ToWrath and 3x Magma, 4x Grounding, etc.. or Purge etc.
Hello XATM and welcome.
I am completely new around here but it is a very nice thing to see that someone pops in to say hello and you guys get 2 pages of replies with hellos, suggestions and macro examples.
I am really impressed with you lot :thumbsup: . Will try to emulate XATM and give a little bit more information on my personal settings and .. how much I struggle with movement events :P
