Preservation key binds and click casting

Classes Evoker
1

Hey!

I’m curious to what other preservation evokers use for keybinds, what spells they use for mouse buttons and click casting? I am constantly searching for a good set up to make damage spells easily reachable when doing quests while at the same time having all the stuff I need easy to access for dungeons. Please share if you have a setup you think really works for you.

Cheers!

When I was healing, I typically used special macros such as:

An example if macros I use:

#showtoolip Echo
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead] Echo

Then I would put that macro on my bar and then all I would need to do is to move the mouse over the player’s unit fram to cast it on them. Some spells had dual uses, such as a damage ability also if I would hold shift down and moused over an enemy.

This way I didn’t require a mod to help with casting my heals/damage spells.

NOTE: This method will require you to make a bunch of macros and drag them to your keybound action bars, but it is my preferred style over using an addon to facilitate this functionality.

I use Heal/Harm Macros in conjunction with an Addon like Vuhdo for all my Healers…This for me saves on Button Space. Also Consider Alt Modifier Macros.

The Heal Harm macros will do a Dps Spell when you hoverover an enemy, but if its friendly will whatever heal you choose.

I agree, help / harm macros significantly reduce button bloat by allowing you to combine 2 abilities to one button. Highly recommend!

I just use Clique

Put all of my dps/utility/untargeted healing skills in an easily reachable place and have all of my targeted heals bound to left click/right click, shift left click/shift right click, and so on and so forth.

For future readers, I recommend you use this type of macros on ALL healers.

Summary

#showtooltip Temporal anomaly
/cast [@mouseover,help,exists,nodead]Reversion;
/cast Temporal anomaly

Summary

#showtooltip Disintegrate
/cast [@mouseover,help,exists,nodead][help,exists,nodead]Echo;
/cast [@target,harm,nodead]Disintegrate

Basically this allows me to always target enemies and:

If I mouseover an ally, it will cast a healing spell.
If I mouseover nothing, it will cast unaimed abilities like TA or harm abilities for damage.

And for charged spells, I use the hold-to-charge option, I found the tap option to be very unreliable.
