Ok so I want to AoE

[Maxion]

Thanks both of you! I will have my paladin macro be /castrandom concecrate, judgement of light, Crusader Strike, Divine Storm. And i'll have the seal I want on a different macro that I'll hit before every fight. And I guess Ill just spam AE. Thanks again!

Edit- After thinking about it if I do /cast random, he'll just keep spamming concecrate so I guess ill take that out and just do it when I see it go away?

Consecrate has a cooldown for its duration, so he won't be spamming just that.

Or.. you could set up and AoE key for both toons, lets say "6"

which works perfectly with a mage, a priest and a warlock (with hellfire) as its all untargette aoe, but if you play a druid or a hunter (or want to use the targetet aoes of your mage and warlock) it can't be done this way

You don't want to be spamming a button with hellfire on it, since it'll recast it every time, taking the mana cost each time. Rather just start it and let it keep going as long as you need it (or until its 15 seconds duration is done).

I'd like to introduce you to my little friend /stopmacro [channeling] ...or some variation. :P

Or, you could do something like /castsequence reset=x hellfire, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , etc..

with a glyph, you can make your consecrate last two more seconds, and also adds two more seconds to your consecrate cooldown. longer consecrate means having to spam it less, and with that spell being one of your most mana-intensive spells, i'd say that's a good glyph.

For the paladin, make a castrandom.

/castrandom Consecrate, Holy Shield

If an ability is on cooldown, it won't be cast as part of the cast random.
So most of the time that toon's screen will be spammed with spell/item is not ready yet.
If you want you could include the script to clear error messages, but it doesn't change the functionality of the macro.
Still one button will keep these two abilities up, pretty much constantly if you mash the button.

Your mage has both arcane explosion (macro this, if you want to be on another toon) or blizzard (need to be active on this toon to click the target location).
Generally the target AoE's seem to be more powerful then the PBAoE versions.
So pick a toon with a target AoE, and macro the others.
With two toons this is easy, as the paladin's only aoe is macroable.

If you were to add another class to the mix, then you'd need to decide if they had a passive (macroable) aoe or if they needed to be actively targeted.
The mage has both, but blizzard is the better of the two.

Another way to do this would be to be on your mage. have your pally stand in a spot right in front of the mage. target a group of mobs and cast counterspell on one of them.
have them run to the pally who's ready with consecreate. consecrate will pull aggro over your counterspell. have your pally go through the motions (holyshield, judgements, etc) while your mage runs back about 20 yards and cast blizzard when you think it wont trump your pally's aggro. Omen helps. =]

this takes a bit of setting up but it should work.

Whatever happened to Falkor's mod that would let you cast the targettable spells by clicking on the minimap? I don't see it up on the stickies list. I remember there was an issue with it not working when there's a modeled floor (vs. just normal terrain) but still it'd be awesome for the run around and nuke stuff.

as far as i know blizzard removed the ping-minimap-thing, so its not working

My personal favorite:

/cast [nochanneling] Hellfire

Show-off! :P

Is there a replacement macro instead of the ping thing?

I use keyclone and really would like to be able to use something like that...wonder if keyclone guy is working on that that would be awesome!
