Macro on Friendly Target

[Efx-moknathal (Efx)]

So, for arena I’m using:
/tar twisted appendage
/cast power word: shield
/targetlasttarget

If the enemy has a proc up though, it might target theirs. How do I differentiate between my friendly appendage and and hostile one so I’m not targeting theirs and shielding myself by doing so?

You can’t.

3. Macros - What can they not do?

Macros cannot make smart decisions for you.

Best you can do is make it not cast shield if you’re targeting a hostile one.

/tar twisted appendage
/cast [@target,help] Power Word: Shield
/targetlasttarget

You can’t.

Are you sure? /tar appears to accept macro commands.

Try this:

/tar [noharm] twisted appendage
/cast power word: shield
/targetlasttarget

Are you sure? /tar appears to accept macro commands.

Those conditions test against your current target etc. not the intended target of the /tar command.

Okay that’s interesting. What about using the @unit id? This only works if the unit is in your party, but it also appears to work with friendly pet names.
