    Ah thanks for reminding me I do have an Eye for an Eye macro I use on every class I've cross-classes this ability to, though it does work a bit differently. My personal preference is not to tie Virus to anything else because of the associated immunity that follows where it can't be used again by anyone else for however long. Otherwise in other fights I might cast Virus at an inopportune time and have a pissed off Scholar on my hands. But situationally what you described makes sense if you have room on your keyboard for it or if using a controller swap it out on your crossbar before/after the fight.

    What mine does is cast Eye for an Eye on party slot 2, which is where I have my main tank by default. In parties of 8 I swap slots 2 and 3 if the tank in slot 2 ends up being OT. Doing 'target of target' as you have it is a good option as well, perhaps better and I might change mine, I just went with the slot 2 approach for when I want to cast it right before a big pull where maybe the tank hasn't been targeted yet. But your approach makes it easier to cast situationally. Either way, using <tt> and party slot numbers is great for when you want to be able to cast something without retargeting manually. I'm new at the healer role and being able to flip crossbars to one that has macros like /ac "Physick" <3> and /ac "Physick" <4> were lifesavers when it comes to quickly healing targets other than the tank, who was already <t> or <tt>, without having to change targets.

    Here's my version:

    /macroicon "Eye for an Eye"
    /ac "Eye for an Eye" <2>
