The use of /assist macros

[Kryses_TNR]

So if I replace all instances of the word Rejuvenation with Regrowth, according to my understanding, the same effect would happen. Right?

[Kryses_TNR]

/cast [target=focustarget,harm] Wrath

Would that work instead of

"/assist focus

/cast wrath"?

[Hachoo]

Yes to both, assuming your focus is your main.

Also at least for damage spells you should add [] at the end if you want your character to work while soloing or if you want to switch mains between your clones. Ie:

/cast [target=focustarget,harm][] Wrath

The [] at the end makes it so it will still cast on your regular target if you don't have a focus or a focustarget.

Ok, another question, and I guess i'll use my same thread.

Is there a way to have roots on the same button as all the clones, and yet not have them overwrite their own roots?

I saw a guy put a macro for sheeps involving ,,polymorph, or something to where it would check to see if their poly was still up. if so, they wouldn't recast it.

Is that possible with roots?

[Hachoo]

I'm pretty sure the polymorph macro did not check to see if the sheep was still up as this is not possible using the WoW macro system.

So no, you'd have to just recast it periodically if need be. Or if you see it break recast.

With regard to your root question, the polymorph macro you are talking about sets up the macro so that with one key, all the mages in the group could potentially cast polymorph. The concept being target mob 1, keypress poly macro, Mage 1 sheeps; target mob2, keypress poly macro, Mage 2 sheeps; etc...

You could use that macro (which I think is in the wiki) to root as well, substituting spell names. Only drawback to the method is that if you don't change targets with your main or focus, then each mage will successively sheep the same target.

I have 2 mages in my 4box group, and they use this system to take turns casting Frost Nova. The commas just set it up so that each knows when it's their turn. (Same macro, commas in different places). Hope that helps you. I'm kinda new myself and terminology is kiling me.

I like the macro setup with the cascading failovers and the alt mod, but I'd like to stick a mouseover component in there too, probably first on the list before focustarget.


#showtooltip
/cast [target=player,mod:alt] Healing Wave
/stopmacro [mod:alt]
/cast [target=mouseover,help][target=focustarget,help][target=focus,help][target=target,help][target=player] Healing Wave

Is that the correct syntax?

I'm looking at doing it with healing wave, I'm guessing I couldn't add a second modifier to do lesser healing wave, or set it for lesser and have the second modifier upgrade to normal healing wave, it would go over 255 characters I suppose.

[Hachoo]

That would be the correct syntax, yes (no space after the mouseover before the comma though). To shorten it up a bit you could change the part that says [target=target,help] to just [help] since target already = target by default. You could also remove the [target=player] at the end right before "Healing Wave" since you're already going to use alt to cast it on yourself anyway.

If you make those 2 changes so it looks like this:

#showtooltip
/cast [target=player,mod:alt] Healing Wave
/stopmacro [mod:alt]
/cast [target=mouseover,help][target=focustarget,help][target=focus,help][help] Healing Wave

You may have enough room left for another spell (if you use another mod like ctrl make sure to put it before the big healing wave line).

[Jheusse]

I just realized that mouseover might not work quite right, as the mouse location in the main window will work but the other toons won't be working from the same mouse loc, they'll be interpreting the location of the "local mouse" I assume. or am I all wet?

#showtooltip
/cast [target=player,mod:alt] Healing Wave
/stopmacro [mod:alt]
/cast [target=mouseover,help][target=focustarget,help][target=focus,help][help] Healing Wave

will this not work the same as the above marco

#showtooltip
/cast [target=player,mod:alt] Healing Wave
/cast [target=mouseover,help][target=focustarget,help][target=focus,help][help] Healing Wave
