Ancestral Spirit

Hello,

I am playing 4 shamans .. and it's a pain when I die. I am running on a single computer, so it's pretty difficult to res the others, because of the small screens. I'd like a macro, which would allow me to click it .. and it would res the others .. Like, I play A and let's say I ankh with that after a wipe. Then I'd like to be able to click a macro, which would then res B .. and if I click it again I'd like to res C and so on .. Is that possible?

How do you handle ress?

Once more don't have WoW on this machine so I'm doing this off the top of my head:

/cast [target=charnameA,dead][target=charnameB,dead][target=charnameC,dead][target=charnameD,dead] Ancestral Spirit

Or, for more flexibility at the expensive of having to make a decision ;)

Code:

---

#showtooltip Ancestral Spirit
/cast [target=mouseover,dead] Ancestral Spirit

---

you can mouse over the party unit frames to cast this and it will allow you to res others.

[target=Party1, exists, dead]

Haven't Tried it yet, but I was thinking of using a series of conditionals for each party#/name like this. Can even swap the order for each, so they each try to rez different ones first for maximum speed. Been too busy leveling to make macros though... silly as that is.

If you use party1, they will all target the party leader, party2 however might give interesting results

/cast [target=Party1, exists, dead] Ancestral Spirit
/cast [target=Party2, exists, dead] Ancestral Spirit
/cast [target=Party3, exists, dead] Ancestral Spirit
/cast [target=Party4, exists, dead] Ancestral Spirit
/cast [target=Party5, exists, dead] Ancestral Spirit

Figured I'd do something like this for everybody, each character in different orders. So they'll almost always rez different targets via one button.

if the party leader is dead, they will all try and rez the party leader (party1 = party leader)

try

Code:

---

/cast [target=mouseover,dead][party3,dead][party4,dead][party5,dead][party1,dead] Ancestral Spirit

---

party1 = leader
party2 = self (no point doing this one ;) )

this will also give you the flexibility to mouseover res on the active client

I want them to try to rez the party leader, if he's not dead they'll try to rez party2 and so forth... I'm too lazy for all that targetting nonsense. Especially on tiny screens. Give each a seperate macro so they go in a different order. It'll mean they'll ALL try to rez things, but it means everybody gets a rez if they're in range. (and there's enough people to cast) 2 dead and they'll both get up... 3 dead and I'll have to do it twice, lol.

Easier to cancel the extra casts than pick targets. lol.

I have no idea how party1 whatever works, never used them in macros, nor in hotkeys... I just know it works. lol.

Right now they're going in this order:

54321
43215
32154
21543
15432

But yeah, I suppose I can do it in one line... oh well... too late :D -- although I may edit mine so they'll prioritize a current target if it's dead/harm... just modify yours would work I suppose... Much shorter XD

/cast [dead,harm][party3,dead][party4,dead][party5,dead][party1,dead] Ancestral Spirit

I have healbot addon installed, and it has different functions when in/out of combat, and one of the out of combat click casts is rezzes. I just use that. It also communicates with my alts healbot, so if im rezzing from 2 toons, it shows me which one is already being rezzed at a glance.

I made a macro for my shamans yesterday. It took a while to change names for every char.

#showtooltip Ancestral Spirit
/target toon 1
/cast Ancestral Spirit
/target toon 2
/cast Ancestral Spirit
/target toon 3
/cast Ancestral Spirit
/target toon 4
/cast Ancestral Spirit
/target toon 5
/cast Ancestral Spirit

It will ress the guy that died. Then for your second toon make this macro:

#showtooltip Ancestral Spirit
/target toon 4
/cast Ancestral Spirit
/target toon 1
/cast Ancestral Spirit
/target toon 3
/cast Ancestral Spirit
/target toon 5
/cast Ancestral Spirit
/target toon 2
/cast Ancestral Spirit

And just make the same macro for your other characters, so they start ressing an other character.
For example: if toon 1 and 3 dies, and you only have the first macro, your other shamans will start ressing both the same guy.
So with the target difference toon 2 starts with ressing toon 3.
Toon 4 will ressurect toon 1.

I hope this worked,
