Can you or anyone else recommend links to sites explaining How Macros Work and How to Create them not just for Healers but for other appropriate situations. I'm starting as WHM, but I've always wanted to try Astrologian and I fear that particular Job cannot be done without Macros. This is for anyone who has ever been confused by the Astrologian class.

Thanks!
Dont have a site to hand, but the best and simplest macros for trainee healers are probably the target of target macros for DPS spells.
This allows you to keep the Tank as your primary target for unencumbered healing.

/micon "spell name"
/macroerror off
/t "spell name"
/tt "spell name"

This means if you target an enemy you will hit that enemy, and if you target an ally you will hit that ally's target.
The only exception is if your targetted ally is also targetting an ally, then it will fail, but generally your tank is always targetting the boss.

Being a healer, your dps spells arent your top priority, and they don't combo so that dont need to worry about GCD clipping or anything like that. You'll also only be dpsing when you're not to stressed, so you wouldnt typically be queuing up DPS spells anyway, and even if you were, you'd probably waste as much time changing targets anyway.
