strange healing macro problem

[cichard]

ya u should really set up an ATG for healers then make a keymap called heals then set a rotation then have your dps keys do mapped key have it call heals and send it to ATG healers that way no matter what dps key u spam it does his rotation. also u can make your healing macros target raid marks so u can do cast [alt] @mark 7 big heal cast [shift] @mark 6 big heal cast [ctrl] @mark 5 big heal cast @self big heal that way one macro can target diffrent people in the group all u have to do is have a modifier down. then have a 2nd macro to cast @focus big heal then set your tank as focus. Ive done this through click bars i have a vid up that explains my ui. i have 2 tank macros aoe and single target when i use hte click bar to heal it also sends to the tank his current rotation.

That's odd actually, I just tried what you mentioned as I could have sworn I remembered the assist working fine to cast heals. When I first started trying the game I was running 3 wardens and it was cute stacking 3 hots on people in warfronts.

You might be able to fix what you're saying with your macros and pass through targeting by putting each macro to cast @targettarget in appropriate places.

there is also an ingame feature that u can cast on targets target. so as a chloro or dps you can turn that feature on and not acutally ahve to set up assist at all. and for a healer you can target the mob and it will heal who ever it is targeting. it works better i think for dps then healers. I find at doing @mark works great i just mark up my team with a macro and g2g. now for pvp im not sure how u would handle it due to the fact u dont have assist or anything like that to mark up your guys. However you can make click bars to heal each one and set each macro in a diffrent hotkey. so you can have like
targetexact name
cast heal
targetlasttarget
something to those effect. i have a video im about ot post of a boss fight from my healers point of view u will be able to see on the side bars i have all his diffrent hotkeys and macros to heal diffrent people and dispell diffrent people.

Yep, I was pretty sure this did work. Maybe it got broken in some other fixes.

Putting "cast @targettarget" fixed the DPS macros. Only problem is if I am actually controlling that character those macros then don't work. That isn't too bad as they are on the cleric and that is the last character to switch too if a wipe is imminent, it is rare I would want to cast a damage ability from them as it would be running away time.
I'll run with this set up for the moment and hope this gets fixed in game.

cichard, I do have targeted heals in macros that are on the G keys on my keyboard. They directly target my regular group members and also marks 4 and 5 in case I pick up added group members.
What I am talking about though is heals that fire off the DPS rotation and heal whichever client is being controlled. 95% of the time this is the tank but may also be the rogue.
