Useful Healing Macros

[Fatalmephisto]

Glad to see some awesome healers supporting my thread. You guy's rock.

I'm pretty useless at making macros. Anyone able to help me out (assuming its possible) to do:

Make it show stone 2 global cool down
Cleric stance on
Cast stone 2 on targets target
Cleric stance off

Or is that too much for a macro?

[SublimeStylee]

It would be

/micon "Stone II"
/ac "Cleric Stance"
/ac "Stone II" <tt>
/wait 2.5
/ac "Cleric Stance"

You'd have to be careful though, you can get mixed up with whether or not Cleric Stance is on if Stone II doesn't cast for some reason like the mob dies or your not in range.

You are awesome Sublime. Thank you!

I'm unfortunately not very macro-savvy, but maybe someone here can help me out a bit.

Basically, I prefer to keep my Tank as my main target for ease of healing. Is it possible to have a few attack skills in a macro that will target his target, but without me losing my Tank as my focus?

So in short : Quickly cast miasma en bio (or Stone and Aero) on my tank's target, while staying on the tank to continue healing.

This is what I have (theorycrafted - can't try it yet since I'm at work) so far :

/micon "Miasma"
/ac "Miasma" <tt>
/ac "Miasma" <t>
/wait 2
/ac "bio" <tt>
/ac "bio" <t>

If I'm not mistaken, the above would cast Miasma and Bio on my Tank's target while still keeping my Tank as my main target. If I don't have my tank as focus, it would simply cast Miasma and Bio on my enemy target. Can anyone confirm and/or improve please? Thanks in advance!

/ac "Miasma" <t>
/wait 2
/ac "bio" <tt>
/ac "bio" <t>

Absolutely correct, I have the same macro set up with Bio II thrown in there. I'd honestly change the macro icon to whatever the last skill is in your macro, as that will tell you when you can use all abilities in said macro.

Cool, thanks Kuenaimaku.
Don't have Bio II yet, but was planning on putting that in there as well once I have it. Will make it a lot easier to spread DoTs using Bane if needed too, as well as save some space on my already slightly cluttered hotbar (don't like switching hotbars mid-combat).
I assume it's just simply adding the following lines after it :
/wait 3
/ac "Bio 2" <tt>
/ac "bio 2" <t>

Good call on the cooldown icon, gonna alter it like you suggested.

Thanks again.

Is it possible to set a mod key to focus? So that as long as I am holding down, say, right alt key I will heal my focus and otherwise I will heal my current target. Something of an old habit for me from my WOW healing days I would like to be able to do again.

Don't think there are modifiers within the macros themselves but you can just duplicate your healing action bar but with <focus> as the target and set the bindings for that bar to alt+button. If you don't want a duplicate bar on screen you can hide that one and it will still work.

I started healing in Rift after always Dps'ing and grew to love it. I am getting by with the F1 - F4 Keys atm but I can see as I am needing to move more in dungeons, I need to get working on some macros. .This thread will be a huge help! Servers are down (again), so I figured I would get working on it!! Thanks all!
