Adaptive Swarm help/harm mouseover not functioning correctly

Hey, I just recently watched this high M+ healers video

and he posted a useful mouseover macro for adaptive swarm.

#showtooltip Adaptive Swarm(Necrolord)
/cast [@mouseover, harm][] Adaptive Swarm(Necrolord)

This is supposed to:

  • cast on any party frame that you are moused-over
  • otherwise cast on current target (if not moused over a friendly frame)

The issue is that the mouseover is not working. It casts on a friendly target if i click-and-then-cast, but not with just mouseover.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

The macro you have posted will only cast adaptive swarm on enemy mouseover targets. (So, it’s only going to work on your party frames if they are mind controlled and hostile!)

If you want it to only work on friendly mouseover targets use this macro:

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, help][] Adaptive Swarm(Necrolord)

If you want it to work on either friendly or enemy mouseovers, you’d use this macro. (Just keep in mind that mouseovers include actually mousing over stuff in the world, so you’ll need to maintain awareness of where your mouse is when you want to use it on your actual target.)

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, exists][] Adaptive Swarm(Necrolord)

Ah okay. If I’m not moused over (on the first one you posted) will that cast it on my enemy target?

Yes. It will first attempt to cast the target on a mouseover, assuming you are hovering over a unit (friend or foe), but then it defaults to the the empty square brackets [] which means “cast this normally” and will cast on your current target. If you have no target and you have selected the “auto self cast” combat option (which is the default) it will then cast on your own character.
