Apologies I should have been more clear and detailed. The conflicting views I was referring to were from pre-classic posts. I hadn't seen anything confirming that those type of macros worked, and for me they don't work, so I was hoping for clarification before I spent a bunch of time trying to figure out where I went wrong. I now know they do in-fact work for others, so I messed something up with my setup!

The video is excellent and every other one I've watched has lead me to a perfectly working config. In this case for some reason I can't get flamestrike to cast @cursor or @player.

What I'm trying to do is a) cast flamestrike at my mages feet by using
/cast [@player] Flamestrike.

EDIT: Turns out I added a ; at the end and it now appears to be working. Apparently I need to pay attention to macro details!
