Currently having trouble making mouseover macros for Rapture and Purify. As most of you are aware, with the release of the Shadowlands Pre-patch casting Rapture also simultaneously casts a 200% Power Word: Shield on the target. I’ve tried using the syntax from my Power Word: Shield and Shadow Mend mouseover macros (which work fine) but no luck. This is what I have so for both:
I honestly struggle understanding why you need that in a macro for common casted spells. Most spells cant be used on [dead] targets, so the spell simply just wont cast. So given that understanding, it just seems wasted space to include [nodead] in a macro for common spells.
If someone dies just a millisecond before you press the button to cast a heal on them, you end up with a highlighted cursor that you have to right-click off.
Among other things.
No you won’t. You’ll get an invalid target error because you can’t heal dead people. Adding nodead will allow it to automatically fallback to your target/self in the above case.
If someone is already used to making macros, please don’t suggest To use clique. There is a huge limitation to clique in that you can’t target 3D objects. Example of where this can be a huge life saver is life grip. It’s better to have a macro that works when targeting the actual player and pulling them out of the fire right on your screen as you mouse over their toon than to fumble about looking for them on a raid or party frame.
