Disc Priest Mouseover Macro Doesn't Work

Guides UI and Macro
1

Hello everyone. I boosted a Priest tonight. I went to create my mouseover macros for Shadow Mend and PW:S. I quickly realized that they wouldn’t work if I moused over party frames. The macros worked if I moused over the player them self. I tried disabling all addons and still no luck.

Here’s what I used.

#showtooltip Power Word: Shield
/cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead][]Power Word: Shield

and

  • #showtooltip Shadow Mend
  • /cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead][]Shadow Mend

I tried removing “[]” before the spell name. I also added a space after the “]”.
Nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Both those macros should work as intended.

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead] [] Power Word: Shield

The only reason i could see them not working is if you have them bound to mouse keys (eg mouse 4/5) in which case they wont fire over unit frames because unit frames eat mouse clicks; you need an addon like Clique to get around that restriction.

You could also further enhance their functionality if you want:

Thank you, thank you! I was using them on a mouse button. All is solved. Much appreciated.
