healing other then the tank

I think I understand what you mean. In short what you want is a situational macro. Let's say you have a mob and your tank is tanking away, but then mob switches targets and does some damage to your dps toon/s. What you want is a macro that will only cast a heal if the mob targets anyone but the tank. So if the mob switches from your tank to your dps then the heal would kick off, but it will never fire if the mob is still targetting the tank. In the end it should only work if the target is someone other than the tank, is that what you are asking?

If so, I don't think thats possible. I don't believe wow has that sort of thing built in to the macro system.

I don't think this will work.

Basically, we can use conditionals where the spell functions one way if the target is friendly [help], but differently if it is hostile [harm].

Unfortunately, the tank is friendly, so any condition I can think of which falls through and heals another party member, would also heal the tank if you happened to be targeting the tank instead of a different friendly.

We cannot use [Focus] as a conditional in a macro.
"/Cast [Help] Renew; [Harm] Mindblast" works fine.
I don't think we can do a macro like this, "/Cast [Focus] Null; [Help] Heal Spell; [Harm] Nuke".

If [Focus] is not an argument, then it won't work.

If your tank is your focus, and you can use focus as an argument, then you could accomplish this via a castsequence and the null command.

/castsequence [Focus] ,Null
/castsequence [Help] Heal Spell
/castsequence [Harm] DPS Spell.

I'm pretty sure the above won't work, but that's about the only way I could see to do it, using the macro logic we have access to.

yes, this is what i was after. from the post below it doesnt sound possible though.
