Resto 5.3

Shaman Archive Patch 5.0+

Here are some healing macros i’v been working on for resto shamans.

Single target low damage:

#showtooltip Healing Wave
/castsequence [mod,@focus]Earth Shield;reset=target Riptide,null
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,Unleash Elements
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,Healing Stream Totem
/castsequence reset=0.3 Healing Wave
/use Ancestral Swiftness
/use Spiritwalker's Grace
/use Call of the Elements
/use 13
/use 14

Single target mod to high damage:

#showtooltip Greater Healing Wave
/castsequence [mod,@focus]Earth Shield;reset=target Riptide,null
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,Unleash Elements
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,Healing Stream Totem
/castsequence reset=0.3 Greater Healing Wave
/use Ancestral Swiftness
/use Spiritwalker's Grace
/use Call of the Elements
/use 13
/use 14

Single target emergency heal:

#showtooltip Healing Surge
/castsequence [mod,@focus]Earth Shield;reset=target Riptide,null
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,0,Spirit Link Totem
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,Unleash Elements
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,Healing Tide Totem
/castsequence reset=0.3 Healing Surge
/use Ancestral Swiftness
/use Spiritwalker's Grace
/use Call of the Elements
/use 13
/use 14

Raid heal:

#showtooltip Chain Lightning
/castsequence [mod,@focus]Earth Shield;reset=target Riptide,null
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,Unleash Elements
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,Healing Stream Totem
/castsequence reset=0.3 Chain Heal
/use Ancestral Swiftness
/use Spiritwalker's Grace
/use Call of the Elements
/use 13
/use 14

I use raid frames to target the player that needs healed then spam the macro based on the damage they are taking. Try them out tell me what you thing and like always help make them better!

My only complaint would be using HTT with other macros. HTT is more of a raid heal, and Shamans are not honestly that good of tank healing. I would eliminate the mod to high damage one and spam the low one with a few modifications.

The thing is Chain Heal should be featured in the low one because of pet damage.

#showtooltip Healing Wave
/castsequence [mod,@focus]Earth Shield;reset=target Riptide,null
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,Unleash Elements
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,Healing Stream Totem
/castsequence reset=0.3 Chain Heal
/use Ancestral Swiftness
/use Healing Tide Totem
/use Call of the Elements
/use 13
/use 14

I am kind of new to macroing, and was curious how this macro works? How do I use it?

How does the Earth Shield work? Do I need to focus the main tank?

I mostly do simple groups, heroics (which are easier than normal) for now, and just need simple all around healing…

thanks.

For those macros you do need to focus the main tank then hit Ctrl, Alt or Shift to place earth shield on the tank.

ah cool thanks for the reply.

I will play around with it some, as I generally like to use clique and mouseover stuff, rather than ctl, alts, etc…as when I used those, I often will minimize the game window or some other less than desireable effect =)

Don’t think it would be that hard to change it from mods to mouseover.

Your macros are sweet, Molkiloki.

I attach them to a button, and they work, with two small issues - which are on my end.

First, how do I get it to cast earth shield (assuming, I have focused a target - as I did?). For some reason, I wasn’t able to Earth shield the tank. Perhaps, I have changed a normal bind to casting something on main focus.

My second issue, more importantly, how do I get this to work with a mouseover? Any tips?

Thanks in advance, in the mean time, i will try to figure it out =)

IF you focus the main tank (ie. right click the name fram of the MT and select focus target) and hold down a “mod” button (ctrl, alt, shift) the macro will cast ES on your focus target.

Not tested but the mouseover might look something like this:

/castsequence [mod,target=mouseover]Earth Shield;reset=target Riptide,null

This would still require a “mod” button to be pressed so it wont mess up the rest of the macro.

If you don’t want this part of the main macro then a second macro might be what your looking for.

/cast [target=mouseover]Earth Shield

Hope this is helpfull.

Unfortunately, still unable to get it working.

The macro buttons work sweet, if I just (1.) click on a target, and (2.) push the macro.

But, since I am mostly a mouser, I rather just mouse over the target, and click.

I use the addon clique, which could be the problem.

I am not worried about the ES part, as I can just put another click on that.

Just trying to get the basic macros (Healing Wave, Greater Healing Wave, and Chainheal parts - as shown above) to work with a mouseover.

In other words, I want the target to change on the mouse over, Right now, the target does not change, unless I click on them.

Still trying to work it out =)

EDIT: tried this most recently:

/castsequence [target=mouseover] reset=target Riptide,null
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,Unleash Elements
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,Healing Stream Totem
/castsequence [target=mouseover] reset=0.3 Healing Wave
/use Spiritwalker's Grace
/use Call of the Elements
/use 13
/use 14

and it works, except for resetting the target.

Part of my issue is using clique =) which I like, but I gotta make sure it all works together.

Maybe i’m not understanding you.
You want the macro to change to your mouseover target and then cast the healing spells?

11

Try this out.

#showtooltip Healing Wave
/tar mouseover
/use [mod,@focus]Earth Shield
/castsequence reset=target Riptide,null
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,Unleash Elements
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,Healing Stream Totem
/castsequence [@mouseover,exists,nodead]reset=target Healing Wave
/use Ancestral Swiftness
/use Spiritwalker's Grace
/use Call of the Elements
/use 13
/use 14
12

yes.

without having to click on the person.

but let the mouseover be sufficient for that? It works like that in clique, and i can even set some macro to it, and it generally works - but I guess with more complex macros, it might not.

13

Test the above macro and tell me if that works.

14

Thanks for trying to help me =)

The macro didn’t work - with the ES part in it. I don’t know why, would need to test it more, but it works otherwise =)

Thanks a bunch!

15

I tested out the above macro, everything works for me. The ES will only cast with a mod pressed and only on your focus target. If you want it to cast on your mouseover then take out the “@focus” and it will cast ES on your mouseover target with a mod pressed.

I dont use clique nor have i ever, but it worked with random mouseover while in Stormwind. For me at least.

Did you try rewritting the macro into the Clique macro UI rather than copy and paste? Maybe thats your problem.

Either way, sorry i couldn’t help you out more.

Good luck.

16

Thanks again Molkiloke =)

I am gonna dump clique, and just learn how to make mouseover macros, since it’s just a mouseover mod, but it seems to caused my issues.

17

I’ve just started using the following in raids and I was top healer even way undergeared, i use it when I’m multiboxing so it is completely spamable, no mouseovers, just mash the button

#showtooltip
/castsequence [@focus] reset=20 Earth Shield,null
/castsequence [@focus] reset=0.3 0,0,0 ,Riptide,Unleash Elements
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,Lightning Bolt
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,Healing Stream Totem
/castsequence [@focus] reset=0.3 Chain Heal
/use Ancestral Swiftness
/use 13
/use 14

The Chain Heal gets expensive so I have the Lightning Bolt with Telluric Currents to get some mana back

18

Made a few changes to Dennis’ macro. Testing it out tonight:

#showtooltip
/target mouseover
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,0 ,Riptide,Unleash Elements
/castsequence [@targettarget,harm]reset=0.3 0,0,Lightning Bolt
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,Healing Stream Totem
/castsequence reset=0.3 Chain Heal
/use Ancestral Swiftness
/use 13
/use 14

I eliminated Earth Shield as it can be cast manually and should be. The other works great if you have only a tank target.

Couldn’t get either of these macros to work correctly. It would just keep casting LB and never CH. Added a “mod” to the LB condition to fix the issue for me.

Yea I noticed that too. A mod button works the best to be honest.
