Rolling HoT's on party

[Nolife]

I've been trying to get spammable macro for my resto druid that casts HoTs on whole party. This is what i experimented with:

/castsequence [@TANK] reset=combat/15 Regrowth,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
/castsequence [@TANK] reset=combat/15 ,,,,,,,,,,Rejuvenation,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
/castsequence [@HEALER] reset=combat/15 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Rejuvenation,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
/castsequence [@DPS1] reset=combat/15 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Rejuvenation,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
/castsequence [@DPS2] reset=combat/15 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Rejuvenation,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
/castsequence [@DPS3] reset=combat/15 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Rejuvenation,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Calling macro ~3 times/sec works really well, until any spell fails due to moving/LoS. For example if i need to interrupt regrowth cast to move out of fire etc., macro will usually skip the next rejuv cast and will not cast on that party member after that. Anybody have ideas how to get this working properly without lockups?

I would probably do a modifier for the regrowth. I want to say I am using /targetparty rejuv if I need to Hot the whole lot on top of a Wild Growth.

Is Lifebloom not an option too?
Or is it too mana expensive for automatic casting?

You'd ideally want instants, so you can use them at any point.

Did you intend to have two lines for the tank? If so, I'd just suggest doing

/castsequence [@TANK] regrowth,,,,, ,,,,, rejuvenation,,,,, ,,,,, ,,,,, ,,,,,

That might be it but can't be sure. Basically, if your macro ever resets it will wait until you cast regrowth before it falls through again. If that happens, have you tried just pressing the spam key once every GCD and see if that unsticks things?

Well, the problem isn't regrowth cast itself. Even with only rejuvs in macro, if 1 cast fails then the whole macro breaks. It must have something to do with all castsequences advancing even though 1 of them fails, eventually causing 2 or more castsequences to be locked in same step or something like that...

I do occasionally use LB when more healing is needed, but i prefer to use regrowth+rejuv since they last longer and don't burn my mana too fast.

My goal was to have both regrowth (27 sec) + rejuv (18 sec) on tank at all times and since they have different durations i needed to separate them.

Oh yeah, and pressing key only once / gcd is something i will never learn! :P

No solution to the problem?
Oh well, i will continue using clickboxer. It never fails...

ISboxer I use a simple round robin macro that I spam like crazy in heavy damage fights. This is why I love druids: Rejuv on everyone plus Wild Growth(I can move the group while healing too!) I put it right next to my dps key and I go hog wild. The only way a boss can kill me is if something kills my druid in a global cooldown. Now if the tank is taking heavy damage at the same time I have to slow down the round robin key to throw a few heals his way, but doesnt seem to matter.

edit: after re-reading your first post I have to say, create a round robin key in ISBoxer and make it exactly as you have it laid out in OP without the commas. Even if you move it wont fail.

Oh Yeah! I totally forgot about ISBoxer's "sticky step keys". That will most certainly work. Thank you very much!!!

I really need to change to isboxer and dump keyclone. If I did change over what happens to all my in game macros I made? Do I need to redo everything with isboxer?
