MOTW EP 38 – PVP/Arena Healing Awesomeness

Heals, Macros, Shaman

Olivia Grace stopped by and gave us a great healing macro for Arenas that heals her or her party members by her modifier. Genius!

#showtooltip Greater Healing Wave
/cast [mod:alt,@party1] Greater Healing Wave
/cast [mod:shift,@party2] Greater Healing Wave
/cast [nomod] Greater Healing Wave

Macroexplain.com explains it like this:

If you were holding the alt key then:
Cast Greater Healing Wave on party member 1

If you were holding the shift key then:
Cast Greater Healing Wave on party member 2

If you were not holding any modifier key down then:
Cast Greater Healing Wave on the currently targeted unit

Ancestral Spirit with LB/HS

DPS, Macros, Shaman

This macro will add ancestral spirit to your Lightning Bolt/Healing Surge macro, but you can add the Ancestral Spirit section to any macro you wish to help clear up some keyboard space.

#showtooltip Lightning Bolt
/cast [@mouseover,help,dead]Ancestral Spirit;[@mouseover,help]Healing Surge;[@mouseover,harm]Lightning Bolt;[help,dead]Ancestral Spirit;[help]Healing Surge;[harm]Lightning Bolt

Macroexplain.com says it does the following:

If the unit your mouse is currently over is a friend and is dead then:
Cast Ancestral Spirit on the unit your mouse is currently over

Else, if the unit your mouse is currently over is a friend then:
Cast Healing Surge on the unit your mouse is currently over

Else, if the unit your mouse is currently over is an enemy then:
Cast Lightning Bolt on the unit your mouse is currently over

Else, if the currently targeted unit is a friend and is dead then:
Cast Ancestral Spirit on the currently targeted unit

Else, if the currently targeted unit is a friend then:
Cast Healing Surge on the currently targeted unit

Else, if the currently targeted unit is an enemy then:
Cast Lightning Bolt on the currently targeted unit

Brilliant!

MOTW Ep 33 – Ascendance

DPS, Macros, Shaman

A simple macro for a simple shaman.

/cast Ascendance
/cast Fire Elemental Totem

“Assuming that Glyph of Fire Elemental is beneficial to us in 5.2, this macro could come in super handy, as both cooldowns will both be up within 3 minutes. Ascendance does not take a GCD to pop, so pairing it with something else can make binding everything a bit easier. Even if the glyph isn’t optimal in 5.2, this overly simplified macro is great for openers.” – Saz

Enhance Shaman LB/Heal Macro

DPS, Macros, Shaman

This macro is straight out of Hend’s Enhancement playbook with only a slight modification: the @player condition at the end.

#showtooltip Lightning Bolt
/cast [@mouseover,help]Healing Surge; [@mouseover,harm]Lightning Bolt; [@target,help]Healing Surge; [@target,harm]Lightning Bolt;[@player]Healing Surge

Macroexplain.com says it does the following:

If the unit your mouse is currently over is a friend then:
Cast Healing Surge on the unit your mouse is currently over

Else, if the unit your mouse is currently over is an enemy then:
Cast Lightning Bolt on the unit your mouse is currently over

Else, if the currently targeted unit is a friend then:
Cast Healing Surge on the currently targeted unit

Else, if the currently targeted unit is an enemy then:
Cast Lightning Bolt on the currently targeted unit

Otherwise:
Cast Healing Surge on you

Enjoy!

Shaman OH CRAP Macro – Sans Error Message

Heals, Macros, Shaman

This macro is a good OH CRAP button that will pop trinkets and use Synapse Springs on gloves if you’re an engineer. If you try to use it again while any of those are on cooldown, it should not print an error message on the screeen. You will still be able to hear the error sound file “That spell is not ready yet” but that cannot be helped as far as we know.

#showtooltip
/cast Ancestral Swiftness
/use 10
/use 13
/use 14
/y Let the Hendlove heal you!
/cast [@mouseover,help]Greater Healing Wave;[help]Greater Healing Wave
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
