Hello all! My general thanks and appreciation to this community for all the great posts over the years!
Apologies: I know that this subject has been posted many many times. I have used search on the forum, and in google and just can’t quite figure out what is going on with my macros.
Backstory: I took time off from the game for many years and recently returned at the end of BFA. Most of my old macros broke, but I expected that. I noticed that basic mouseover functions were available in the base game, so I got by, and adjusted some of my buttons accordingly.
Shadowlands: I just got into the pre-patch 9.01 and am finding frustrations with mouseover healing macros. Did things get changed a lot??? I cannot find anything on the web searches indicating this.
Relevant AddOns being used: Shadowed Unit Frames, Bartender4. (I have enabled the appropriate self-cast checkboxes and what not that I can see.
at the moment I am just using one of the many templates available from the web:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover,help][help][target=player] [] Rejuvenation
It basically works, but not exactly how I would like, with the following problems:
-
When I mouseover a target, and click my button, I would like the heal to go to that target. I would like this to be on the unit frame OR THE 3D CHARACTER in the world itself. Currently, if I mouseover a character, and that character is target selected, it works as you would imagine, except it will not self-cast if i mouse over MY DRUID 3D character. It WILL cast Rejuv on myself if i have another target, and then mouseover MY UNIT FRAME. This is how things used to be for me back in the old days, and while I am being nit-picky, I would like to heal whatever thing on the screen that I point to: unit frame/or character, self or friend.

I cannot seem to right-click my macro button in the action bar to self-cast. This makes no sense to me. I have right-click self cast box checked in Bartender4. I cannot find any other new relevant options in the base game controls area.
That’s basically it. I just need mouseover macros to work where I point my mouse, and occasionally (during panic moments) I can right click my macro button in the hot bar to self cast it.
Wishlist: I would like to have the macro self-cast or target-cast, if the target (mouseover or selected target) is dead, or an enemy, but this is not a deal-breaker.
At the end of the day, if I can’t get this working correctly, I can adjust my playstyle, but its just a bit frustrating because my macro knowledge circa 2010 seems… deprecated somehow. That or Im just getting old!
Thank you in advance.
PS:
Replying to my own topic, I noticed that in bear form, I used to be able to moonfire all the mobs I had collected via mouseover. That is no longer possible (I have Galactic Guardian)… Another druid I spoke with said she was never able to do this. Whats up? I never had a macro for Moonfire.
I am very confused ><
