Useful Healing Macros

[Taemek]

Oh man I guess I gotta use macros to become pro!

I disagree, in most cases I believe that a lot Healers are bad healers because they rely to heavily on macros to begin with.

Simple macros are win, long drawn out macro's with wait timers and all the rest are a liability due to peoples human nature side of them thinking they need to wait for the macro to play out rather then interrupting it for something on the fly to be more adaptive to what is happening real time.

I'd never use one of the longer macros, but I don't see the issue with mouseovers. They only improve your performance.

And I agree with this post. I don't mean to offend anyone but most of the macros here are pointless, if not hurtful. They might ease your work in less demanding dungeons but in harder ones like Titan and Coil you have to be much more fluent and responsive, you simply don't have the luxury of waiting out your macro to end.

I also find <mo> macros a preference thing and I believe it's ok to use them if you prefer mouse targeting (obviously). With that said, I only use 2 macros.

/micon "Energy Drain"
/ac "Energy Drain" <t>
/ac "Energy Drain" <tt>

and

/micon Raise
/ac Swiftcast <me>
/wait 1
/ac Resurrection <t>
/ac Resurrection <mo>
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <mo>

I also liked the idea of what I adopted as "Sprint-a-lot" macro:

/ac "sprint" <me>
/wait 30
/ac "sprint" <me>
/wait 30
/ac "sprint" <me>
/wait 30
/ac "sprint" <me>
/wait 30
/ac "sprint" <me>
/wait 30
/ac "sprint" <me>
/wait 30
/ac "sprint" <me>
/wait 30
/echo Out of sprints!

I can see this being useful in Titan especially, and I'll try it as soon as I get the chance.
