WHM raising macro

[Rongway]

But with your above macro, if the WHM is the 2nd healer and the SCH is the first, you're getting the SCH up first.

Or let's say, tanks. You got a PLD and a DRK, and by some weird situation, both go down. You obviously want the PLD up first because he's more durable and has Clemency that he can look after himself for a few seconds once he has enough time to get a bit of MP.

WHM automatically sorts higher on the enmity list than SCH and AST. The only issue would be distance -- if the WHM is out of range, it'll raise the other healer instead. PLD also sorts higher on the party list than DRK.

EDIT: Mist Dragon, the first couple times I did it. Both DPS dead. A RDM and someone else that wasn't a SMN. Obviously I want the RDM back up ASAP. Because if both me and RDM is down we wipe. If one of us is still alive, there's a glimmer of hope. Actually did have a successful kill... I died, the RDM raises me.... then he dies, and I raised him.... then I died again and he raised me.... we killed the boss. But, if a macro had raised the other DPS... we would have been sunk.

The first non-deliberate target in the macro is 4, which in a light party will always be a RDM or a SMN if they exist.

Your concerns are understandable but unfounded. And anyway, the point of the macro is, "If I don't want to explicitly declare my target, I don't have to." I can still park my mouse over someone if I want to focus on raising them first. It's not a "raise whoever" macro. It's a smart priority-based macro with these things thought out.
