Macro to place and execute a placed AOE circle

Does anyone know of a macro that will auto place and execute a spell that requires to place an area circle before executing it, preferably on the enemy I currently have targeted?

I am trying to execute my Meteor spell as a simple 1-step execute as part of my rotation.

Thanks!

For some dang reason Blizz refuses to add a @target macro conditional for these types of spells. Best I can do for a one push macro is an @player macro which works if your target is like in melee range.

For example, here’s one I use on my shaman

#showtooltip
/cast [nomod, @player] Capacitor Totem
/cast [mod] Capacitor Totem

It drops the totem with a single click right where my shaman is standing, but I can also target it by holding down shift, ctrl, or alt.

The only one I know is:
/cast [@cursor]
That will cast the spell instantly where your mouse cursor is.

#showtooltip Earthquake
/cast [@cursor] Earthquake

That works for my Earthquake just replace it with your spell name.

I would love an [@Target] conditional for AoE spells - most of the time I just want to throw them on a pack of mobs, but unfortunately (as others have already said) the quickest way to fling these spells out is probably [@Cursor] - or [@Player] if you’re in melee range.

Like, there’s times I would like to precisely position my AoE, but most of the time I just want it to be hitting things ASAP.

You can’t do what you’re asking because it would effectively negate the entire purpose of it being a target-reticle “harm” spell. You can do this with some “help” spells, like priests feathers, but not for other abilities like
/cast [@target] heroic leap
or
/cast [@target] death and decay
but only for things like
/cast [@player] death and decay
or
/cast [@player] angelic feather

closest thing would be to
/cast [@cursor] spellname
