Solution to "blinking"

[Merton9999]

Actually, I've had the cures fail with <stpt> <stal> when I was targeting myself and selecting someone else. When I blinked the target was on me and depoped.

I had this problem with <stal> and <stpt>, when the equip change needs to be before the spell cast. I just changed my macro like this:

/target <stpt>
/equip head "Warlock's Chapeau"
/ma "Refresh" <lastst>
/equip ...

It targets the person first before it swaps your gear, then casts the spell on the stored target. My only gripe with this is it requires an additional macro line, so less room for equip swaps. I only need to do it if I have an equip change before the spell cast, like for FC gear. If the gear can be switched after the cast line, I just use /ma "Spell" <stal> first , then the swaps. I've never lost my target if my equip change is after the spell like that.

I don't really see the issue with RDM. I have every single spell and JA macroed, with lots of room left. Some creative uses of /macro set and /macro book make this pretty easy imo.

There are only 6 lines per macro and your solution although works in some extent a line of code is lost. These limitations are also limited by design when there are macro book switches on the fly but that's another story.
