Sup everyone,
I’m trying to make a macro for friendly party members for solo shuffle
I am pretty sure the macro goes like this /cast [target=party1] -whatever skill here-
changing to party 2 and 3 for the other members
my issue is I can’t figure out what party member number each of us are after getting into solo shuffle, I’d have to test out a spell every time to see, and thats annoying
Is there an addon or any other super easy way to tell what party # a friendly member is, in my group?
I’ve been using DynamicMacros as a dps for this. It’ll basically let you replace team names with “damager” or “healer” and then it’ll swap out those for your current teammate names.

Intervene for healer only:
#showtooltip
/cast [@healer] Intervene
Intervene for damager only:
#showtooltip
/cast [@healer]
/cast [@damager] Intervene
Here are some quick macro examples. Basically regardless of who my teammares are my bind to Intervene, Shadowstep or Freedom my healer will always use it on my healer and there’s no macro tweaking.
You can try FrameSort.

I think Plater might be able to do it too, but you’ll have to find the place to change the settings.
Also, you’re not a party number. You’re target=player.
Alternatively you can macro it like: /cast [@arena1] spell
And, about which one is which, it’s always from top to bottom, self, 1 and 2.
Edit: Nvm about @arena1 macro part, I misread it.
Not for me. Unless I’m imagining things, I get randomly inserted above, between, and below party1 and party2.
That’s why I need an addon to keep things sorted.
Well, if you’re playing as a healer, there’s an option on party frames in Edit Mode to sort it by Roles, that makes healer always first.
And, if you’re in the mid or bottom position, it would be, respectively: 1, self, 2 or 1, 2, self.
I thought about doing that, but it wasn’t clear to me if the UI would keep the DPS in party1 and party2 order.
Damn dude if that works as you say, this will make my macro life for solo shuffle soooooooo much easier, thanks dude
It does, it’ll always be, Self, 1 and 2.
Yeah, so far it has been working super smoothly. As far as I know there isn’t a feature in-game that lets you reliably have functionality like this, or it isn’t clear that there is, which is kind of annoying.
Because being able to just write “partyhealer” or something and always have, say, bop go on the healer without fumbling around with mouseovers or changing names would be super cool.
For like keys and pvp, especially shuffle.
I use GladiusEX and have it set to not show my own information. First person is party1, second is party2.
So I have party1 and party2 intervene macros, bind them to a button on my controller.
That thing that Kennie has sounds kind of neat, but needs attention each round?
On my Assassination rogue I am going to be macro’ing Tricks of the trades to my friendly DPS player with my kidney shots (since tricks isnt on GCD)
add that with the talent which makes people take 5% more damage when stunned, if this all works out properly, every 30s my kidney shot will give my friendly DPS player 20% more damage to the target
I don’t know if it stacks quite like that but yeah, that’s reasonable. I found it handy for defensive steps.
I just tested it and it works, niceee
Hey foxboi, sorry for the Necro but is this add on still good?
I waste so much time at the start of each round to correct my macros
This may or may not help, but arenas are technically raids, and if you have raid frames it will be [target=raid1] for the top down to raid3 as the third one for friendly macros.
Yes, at least it has been working for me.
