With the upcoming buff to Empowered Renew, I’m thinking that keeping it active on the tank will probably result in the most effective use of the spell. Do you think that’d be correct?
Can this be Macro’d into an @focus macro? Is there a way to ensure that it gets casted on @mouseover in the event that the focus target is out of range? I really would like to be able to cast it and have it go off no matter what. I’ve never used focus targets before. But, lately, I’ve been wanting to do them for PoM and Renew.
If you run healbot or other heal gui addons I’m sure. You could just set up the renew cast as /cast Renew @focus /cast renew. If focus is not around it would cast as per normal. But (for me at least) if I am hovered over healbot that would take prio and it would hit the mouse over. Then all you’d have to do is just click the button not over your health bars gui and it would try to hit focus.
I just use the standard UI. Just wanted some clarity on the @focus macro idea or if there’s a better way of doing it.
I can write the macro you want out for you, but I’d suggest against it with the new patch going out if you’re playing Oracle. It’ll be easier to manage Empowered Renew on multiple people going forward with the Oracle buff and Lasting Words.
Yes, that makes it more involved and intensive, but if you wanted easy playing there’s always Archon.
I’m sticking with Archon. Would it just be
/cast [@focus] Spell; [@mouseover] Spell; Spell?
What would happen if Focus is out of range and is there a within range condition or anything like that?
There’s no range condition, but your macro would only cast Renew at the focus target if you have a focus and would fail if you were out of range to cast at them. There are no ranged conditionals. If you want it only to go to a specific focus target, it would be
/cast [@focus] Renew;
If you want the functionality of the mouseover and the focus, then this would work.
/cast [@mouseover, exists] Renew; [@focus, exists] Renew;
Keep in mind the existence of the @focus conditional will essentially override any regular targeting functionality of Renew, if you wanted to apply Renew to other people it’d have to be through manual mouseovers only.
You can add this line which would modify this button while holding shift
- [mod:shift, @target] Renew;
if you wanted the original “cast only to the person I have targeted” functionality. in addition to everything else.
