Hey all,
With 7.3 macro structure in the game, as a competitive pvp healer I am pretty curious. So I haven't seen it on demo but I am pretty sure we hopefully will not see focus target (can anyone on demo confirm?) But I am curious to know if mouseover macros work? Mouseover macros seem like a very good way for healers not to have to download 3 seperate addons to work simultaneously in order to successfully raid heal.
Mouseover worked on pservers with super macro and clique.
Most raidframes support it as well.

My healing mouseover macros worked fine in the demo. I copied them directly from my WoW folder's macro-cache.txt file.

Those are not mouse over those are clickable frames. Not the same as mouse over11/07/2018 08:57 AMPosted by StiffhornMouseover worked on pservers with super macro and clique.

This.
I very strongly doubt that Focus macro's / focus frames will be allowed by the API when classic goes live because it was never part of the game.
Mouseover macros are good to hear, thanks!

Can you share :(
If they add focus and mouseover I am hoping they make the use of them drop rogue combo points like they are supposed to.

Mouseover macros are very simple, and will help people be able to effectively raid heal in Classic without the use of addons.
On my shaman in live for example I use one for every single heal I have.
#showtooltip Riptide
/cast [@mouseover,exists][@target,exists][@player] Healing Surge
That allows me to set up a priority heal list. If I have my mouse over a raid frame of someone or over their avatar even if I am targeting someone else, I am healing the mouseover player. If no mouseover, I will heal my target. If my target is an enemy, and I have no mouseover, I will heal myself.
just confirmed in game, mouseover macro's do work as others have said. Focus macros do not, you cannot even set a focus target for that matter.

Very good to hear! I am now very interested in help/harm macros. They clear a lot of space on my shaman now, and with a paladin in vanilla and a shaman they could definitely help a lot.

I think that's really close to what I use on every healing spell on every healing class I play (works with cleansing spells as well), that way I don't have to target someone to heal them or myself. I can have an enemy targeted and heal just fine with the press of a mouse button.
A guild healer actually taught me about mouseover macros way back in Vanilla. Used them ever since.

That's wild someone told you about that on vanilla. The scripts required then would have been absolute madness.
The 4 I used in the demo...
I don't think they were that bad, honestly. I simply got something along the lines of Xperl or grid (or whatever existed in Vanillia, I think it was xperl), and used the simple mouseover macros combined with keyboard hotkeys (didn't have a multi-button mouse at the time.)
