Useful Healing Macros

[HachiHero]

If you have yourself targeted while using this macro, and your mouse is not over another player's bar, or you don't have a target focus, I think it'll just heal you.

Honestly, I just use <mo> and it eliminates any kind of issue with that.

My play style is to keep the tank as focus and have mobs/bosses targeted the whole time. I'll take out the <focus> and <t>, thanks for the suggestion.

I also try to keep the boss targeted as much as possible (except on encounters where a debuff goes out, since...lol...sometimes it just scrolls off the party frames, woo!). That makes sense to me, I hope that helps!

Just ran a couple WP's with it and didn't see any heals dropped, and could be in my head but Regen and other instant cast skills I had macroed are responding more quickly. Thanks again.

Hi all, first post, anyway...

I've been having an issues with my mouse over macros where I myself am being healed instead of the target. I know some other people have been having an issue as well, and a few quick google searches show me that either to have <mo> on its own, or remove anything like <t> or <me>.

I don't want to have to outright get rid of it since I love mouse over game play. I'm including the macro I currently use and maybe after seeing it someone can give me some sort of suggestion other then what I found via google:

/micon "Cure"
/ac "Cure" <mo>
/ac "Cure" <focus>
/ac "Cure" <t>

I JUST posted about this. Don't use multi-target macros. You can't guarantee target order and as a result your heal will fallback to healing you instead (when it doesn't outright heal the wrong target).

Your macro should just be the <mo> action and you will never have that issue again.

EDIT: as an FYI it's the same for multi-action macros. So swifcast + rez can fail in just the same way and try to raise without using swifcast.

/micon Virus
/ac Virus <t>
/p Virus on <t> (10s) <se.01>

/micon "Eye for an Eye"
/ac "Eye for an Eye" <t>
/p Eye for an Eye on <t> <se.01>

This helps when you are trying to do a virus rotation or have other people that may be using Eye for eye on a tank. For a tight virus rotation you could add this at the end of the first macro:
/wait 10
/p Virus Down -Party member- Next <se.01>

Now set this macro in your Healer Hotbar (Hotbar 1 in this case)

"Attack Hotbar"
/macroicon "Cleric Stance"
/ac "Cleric Stance" <me>
/chotbar 5

And this macro in your Cleric Hotbar (Hotbar 5)

"Healer Hotbar"
/macroicon "Cleric Stance"
/ac "Cleric Stance" <me>
/chotbar 1

I would suggest placing these macros over the most used upon spells/macros in the other hotbar. This way, button mashing will change the hotbar then fire up your most used often spell in the other hotbar. For example, my "Attack Hotbar" macro is in the L2+X position of my Healer Hotbar, which is in the same position as my "Stone II" macro in my Cleric Hotbar. Therefore, by mashing L2+X while in my Healer Hotbar, the "Cleric Stance" spell is activated, hotbar changes, and "Stone II" is fired.

I would suggest having this additional macro in your Attack Hotbar, your "OH SHIT!" macro:

"Divine Healer"
/macroicon "Divine Seal"
/ac "Cleric Stance" <me>
/chotbar change 1
/ac "Divine Seal" <me>

and placing this over the position of your "Cure II" spell/macro in the Healer Hotbar.

Finally, unfortunately the macros are not perfect. If you press the macro before "Cleric Stance" cools down or in the middle of another spell, the hotbar will change without firing "Cleric Stance" and your attacks or (worse) heals will be suboptimal. That's why I recommend either placing a regular "Cleric Stance" spell in one or both hotbars, or get yourself familiar with changing hotbars on the fly (i personally use this latter one)

good for ppl having trouble clicking.

I don't use macro's though so can't share any!

[Gardes]

Anyone know how to turn off buffs/stances with a macro command? I want to start healing but since I use controllers, I want to use separate sets for healing and attack spells. I figured that /chotbar change would be best if place on the cleric stance but the on and off from pressing the cleric stance sometimes leads me to healing with cleric stance on. Something like

/buff "Cleric Stance" off
/ac Cure <t>

Would really be nice.

You don't need to make multiple posts for longer posts. Just edit your first one since editing posts doesn't have a letter/word count, btw.
