Hello friends, I come to the DK forums today with a question regarding ‘Ebon Gargoyle’ and your ability to heal it via death coil. Does anyone know what the macro is for being able to coil gargoyle? I.e the pet macro is /cast [target=pet] Death Coil. … thought what would you put instead of ‘pet’ to have coils work for gargoyle? I have tried =minion, =guardian, =gargoyle, =ebon gargoyle, the answer is probably simple I just couldn’t discover it myself, hoping some unholy gamers can clutch up for me
Nee to actually test this but I believe this isn’t possible. Since gargoyle acts like s guardian it cannot be targeted with macros like that.
Weird… I assumed because I could still manually heal it by clicking the gargoyle and just casting death coil that I would be able to get that process macrod…the garg is pretty squishy as of rn on DF beta and have you have very little hope of keeping it alive manually if someone is pumping it. Would be pretty frustrating if this is genuinely the case and said macro doesn’t exist.
I made two macros that work together to achieve what you want, but it is finicky and may not be up to your standards. Give it a try and tells me what you think.
It comes in two seperate macros.
The first macro is casting your Gargoyle, and setting it as a focus target.
#showtooltip
/cast Summon Gargoyle
/target Ebon Gargoyle
/clearfocus
/focus
/targetlasttarget
This macro, you will need to push it twice. The reason is because your Gargoyle is not targettable for about 0.2 seconds after you summon it. So press it at least twice in quick succession. Testing is on beta it work well if you push it twice. It even target your original target.
Then the second macro.
#showtooltip
/cast [@focus] Death Coil
This makes you cast death coil at your focus target.
After the gargoyle despawn, your focus target is cleared.

Thank you very much for your reply! I will test this macro and let you know how it goes!
Hello again! So an update after trying the macro
What is happening is that when I hit the macro twice, it summons the gargoyle, but it does not target it and then set it as focus. It only summons it and sets whatever I have targeted to focus instead of the gargoyle. even when I try /target Ebon Gargoyle on its own in a macro it does not work, I assume that would be a major issue for your macro’s functionality ? 
I have retested these macros, both on live and on beta, and they do work. I reiterate that the first macro, you need to press it at least twice in the span of half a second. If you spam it more than twice it work aswell.
Step to reproduce:
- Target something and hit Macro #1.
- Wait half a second, hit macro #1 again.
Observed result: A gargoyle was summoned and is set as a focus target. You still are targeting the original target. Spamming the macro works too.

I apologize, I didn’t account for the fact that when in it’s altered form the name to target is ‘val’kyr battlemaiden’ and not ‘ebon gargoyle’ which was a mistake on my end, after putting in the correct name the macro does indeed work! so thank you very much!
You are welcome, Buffnecro. On the same subject, I have made improvement to the original macro. You can use this one below.
#showtooltip
/focus [noexist]
/castsequence [@focus] reset=30 Summon Gargoyle, Death Coil, Death Coil, Death Coil, Death Coil, Death Coil, Death Coil, Death Coil, Death Coil, Death Coil, Death Coil
/target Ebon Gargoyle
/focus
/targetlasttarget
If you do choose, you only need this one macro now. No need for the other one. Just press it as needed and you’re good to go.
And yes, adjuste the “Ebon Gargoyle” line for the correct pet’s name, if you have the glyph.

thank you so much! I very much appreciate the hard work you’ve put in for me today!
There was a small typo in the “/focus [noexist]” section, be sure to grab my edit.
