Self heals in classic

Will I be able to cast heals on myself while targeting non friendly players/mobs or no target. Or do I gotta target myself, heal. And then switch back to my target?

Your heals auto target yourself unless a friendly player is targeted.

You need to write a macro for that, at least that’s how it was done in Vanilla.

If they’re using that component of the modern API, then you should be able to do as in BFA.

Does pressing alt modifier work to heal yourself?

This. Also as a side note mouseover macros work in classic. My rogue is using mouseover blind and kick since changing targets loses combo points.

Not sure on the current state of classic. But with the original 1.12 version of the game you had to Target yourself. Or you could go into the options menu and select “auto self cast” which would cast whatever friendly spell on yourself if no friendly target was selected.

Could use a macro like:

#showtooltip
/cast [help]Healing Touch;[group]Healing Touch;[@player]Healing Touch

You’ll heal any friendly target you’re targeting, but if you’re not targeting a friendly target it will check if you’re in a group to ready the spell on your cursor so you can quickly throw a heal on someone without having to manually target them; otherwise it will just automatically target yourself.

Can use the same macro for buffs, but replace the [group] conditional spell to the AOE version of the buff.

#showtooltip
/cast [help]Mark of the Wild;[group]Gift of the Wild;[@player]Mark of the Wild

I saw a mention, that Blizz is going to break things that work in retail, but dident in classic… i guess we will have to see what that means…

i allways been that macros addons is oki, as long as you still have to do the action, and no part is automated, then its botting…

On private servers and in the stress test I didn’t need any macros or addons to self cast.

This is accurate. By the final version of the game it was added to the option menu so macros were no longer needed
