WHM Macros

[Kabzy]

I agree with Taika, macros are generally not the way to go. I do, however, use party text macros so that I can communicate with other healers. Using such things for Raise, Eye for an Eye and Virus etc can help with preventing the other healer losing a chunk of MP by double ressing, using a long CD that won't work etc etc.

As you shouldn't use macros for healing or DPS (because macros prevent you from queueing abilities), there aren't many useful macros for WHM. The only macro I personally use on WHM/SCH is "/ac Virus <f>" to use Virus on focus target while I keep the tank as my healing target.

To ask, you don't even use <mo> macros? Becuase I find those useful in keeping the party topped.

Some macros I use:

/micon Virus
/ac "Virus" <t>
/ac "Virus" <tt>

/micon Aero
/ac "Aero" <mo>

This one is bound to my middle mouse button--it just makes it easy to claim mobs out in the overworld and similar.

Other macros I have are announced res, "Do the mechanic!", and "Hey bard I'm out of MP."

Lastly, you can use <tt> macros for DPS... but it's not really suitable for high end endgame.

I tried a mouseover macro a while back. When it worked I didn't really feel like it was helping me that much, but a lot of the times it didn't work for me because I usually hit keys before the GCD is done. And with that it would sometimes miss the first attempt at the macro and then heal the wrong person and so on. There are probably better macros out there, but I didn't feel as if it was helping me in any way and I just don't like how clunky macros can feel.

Also as a SCH in end game raiding, I'm constantly hitting buttons. If I'm not healing I'm back into Cleric DPSing, so that's one more reason I don't use macros. There's never usually a moment when I'm idle and waiting for a GCD to finish for me to carefully press the next button. ;p

I used to heal with mouseover macros in 2.0 (through first Coil). I gave them up after that because they felt unresponsive compared to healing without macros. Not being able to queue your heals applies to them as well.
