[...] healing macros that use mouseover, I would suggest checking out this post I did a while ago. Before I picked up Clique, all my heals were keybound and mouseover. It wasn’t until 3.0 [...]

@Purplepenguin: I’ll get that spreadsheet to you later tonight. :)

Regarding Healbot – they do have a SmartCast function, although only enabled when out of combat. That, for me, is one step away from having the game played for you, even though it’s really more of a /castsequence macro than anything that resembles true AI. And given that it’s not enabled when in combat, it’s not truly evil. ;)

I just discovered your blog, and am loving it. Am especially interested in your spreadsheet of healing gear.

One lil’ correction tho: Unless it’s a feature I’m unaware of, Healbot doesn’t “decide” which spell you cast…rather it just does the same thing as mouse-over macros, but without all the typing ;)

@Calinda: Thanks for your suggestions! The goal of the dispel macro in arena is to allow me to dispel both friends and enemies with one macro. With #1, I wouldn’t be able to dispel enemies. As for #2, I’m currently considering applying a modifier – the only reason why I haven’t is because they’re keybound to something else right now…

Not entirely sure what the goal is with the dispel in arena, but this is what I would do.

1.
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover,exists][target=target,help,exists][target=player] Dispel Magic

the added help should make it so if your target is a teammate it will dispel them, but if its an enemy it will move on to dispel you.

2.
showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover,exists][target=target,exists] Dispel Magic; [modifier,target=player] Dispel

Same except now if you push shift, control or alt it will dispel you.

…I think =)

Thanks! I have some focus macros for Power Infusion/Mana Burn and Shackle if you want (but I’m sure you have those already).

This was INSANELY helpful. I’m a total macro dummy, but your breakdown helped me understand what each of those parts are actually doing.
