So playing around these mouseover macros for my healer, and i have one particular issue that idk if it can be fixed.
Is there a way to make the spell work normally if im not mouseover anyone?, normally healing spells would simply be self casts, but with the MO macro im forced to MO on my own frame to heal myself, and its kinda annoying.
Try setting them up like this
#showtooltip Healing Surge
/cast [@mouseover, exists][] Healing Surge
Ill give it a try.
If it works, let me know. I may do the same for my priest once I am back from my business trip and play at home (again).
/cast [@mouseover, exists][] spell name
This is the format I use on my paladin, the exists part makes it cast on myself when I’m not moused over anyone.
Well it seems to work, but im kinda worried since it seems it will also target the “entity model” as well
This is what I use for my mouseovers:
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,exists,help,nodead][@target,exists,help,nodead][@player,nodead] (spell name goes here)
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
This will let you cast the spell in this order: mouseover, target, player/self.
Alternatively if you need a mouseover macro for a spell such as Power Word: Barrier, Efflorescence, Death and Decay, and so on, you could use this:
#showtooltip
/cast [@player,mod:alt][@cursor] (spell name goes here)
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
This will cast at your current mouse pointer location, or if you hold Alt it will cast it at your character’s current location.
Hope this could be of any help! Good luck!
I’ll just add that there are addons like Clique that make mouseover macros a lot easier.
Well
this one works, but my issue is that it now activates when MO over the player model and i feel it will end up screwing me over.
Is there a way to make MO only work on the Raid Frame and if not MO become a selfcast?
I believe it. I’ve had these mouseover macros since like MoP so I never looked into any addons for em.
Yes. Do this:
[@mouseover][@self]
It still activates on the player model.
I’ve used mouseover macros since Wrath I think. Never liked healbot or clique or the others.
Never had an issue with my macros.
The big thing with clique for me, is that I make a lot of alts. I’ve used the same clique settings on every character of the same class for a very long time now and when there needs to be a change i only have to make the change on one character of each class.
I doubt most people make multiple characters of the same class just to restart them at level cap 
So i searched for a bit, and apparently its impossible to make the Mouseover work exclusively on the Raid Frames and not the Player model.
Well, thats kinda annoying, but ill try to watch out where my mouse is to avoid wrong healing i guess, i could just keep it on my own frame to avoid accidents i suppose, will see.
Eh, I just copy and paste the mouse over macros from one character to the next, the text of all your macros is found in macros-cache.txt in
C:\\PathToWoW\World of Warcraft\\_retail\WTF\Account\AccountName\ServerName\CharacterName
Find one, copy, paste, change the spell name, g2g.
It’s tough to use mouse over macros while clicking your spells.
Sidenote - there’s a whole devoted sub-forum to this with basically the best experts you could hope to find for anything Macro Related -
#showtooltip Flash of Light
/cast [mod:alt,@player][@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead] Flash of Light
Will cast at mouseover, if no mouseover will cast at target
All of mine are like this:
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,help,exists] Regrowth; Regrowth
Or help/harm for Hybrid.
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,help,exists] Regrowth; Moonfire
Help/Harm. Basically, if I’m moused over an ally, regrowth else moonfire.
Cuts down on keybinds for hybrids, but it does require a bit of “mouse discipline”
There’s one huge problem with macros: limitation on how many you can make per player. At least by default.
