"LB > LB > LB > Heal > LB > LB > LB > Heal" sequence possible?

[Mokoi]

Hi, took a quick look through these forums didn't see this, but what i want, is for 2 of my shamans to cast a heal in their LB macro every once in a while on my tank.

anyone have a macro like this that works? anyone have a good explanation as to why its impossible? etc?

thanks in advance

If it is impossible, its cause you can't switch targets in the middle of a cast sequence macro which is lame I know.

Can we not exploit target=targettarget in /castsequence calls (or specifically, one per call not one per item)?

We'll what might work, if you don't spam the button is:

/castsequence [harm,nodead] Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,
/castsequence [target=TankName] ,,,Lesser Healing Wave

[Kulzor]

I don't believe the above solutions will work, but here's one that might: (Edit: Olipcs's solution might as well, it's a similar idea.)

/castsequence reset=16 [target=focustarget,harm,nodead] LB,LB,LB,,LB,LB,LB,,LB
/cast [target=MyNameHere] Chain Heal

So when it hits the empty comma, it SHOULD skip casting on that castsequence, allowing it to actually cast another spell later in the macro. The second line might have to be /castrandom instead of /cast, but I'd try the first one first.

Note that if you spam the button this won't work. If you do that, add a bunch more commas after the third and sixth LB.

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

Actually I am glad someone posted this since I was totally owned in Ramps because of not healing so much, kind of hard to stop DPSing to heal at least for me it is at this point. How about the following:

/castsequence [harm,nodead] Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,
/castsequence [target=TankName] ,,Lesser Healing Wave,
/castsequence [harm,nodead] Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,
/castsequence [target=TankName] ,,Lesser Healing Wave,

Might be out of room there at the end, but in essence it would be 3 LB's, Lesser Heal, 3 LB's, Lesser Heal, and then back to LB's. I would assume this would work but I have not tried it. But then again I guess it would screw stuff up since you cant really throw in CL since it would probably reset the castsequence so it would screw up your healing at one point.

I did a lot of experimenting with multi line /castsequence.

/castsequence lb,lb,,
/castsequence ,,heal

The above will work, but ONLY if you don't spam the button, you have to wait for GCD to be up between LB casts (making this pretty useless). If you press before the GCD is over, the first /castsequence line fails (when you get "spell not ready" text) and the next one executes (before you ever get to the empty , in the first line).

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

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

1) Move tank closer to group and chain heal - heals bounce to party and heal up

This is what I do for Rockmar, I just pull him back into my group and chain heal. Mash one button, look away for 45 seconds, loot.
