I’ve been looking for a way to cast Healing Rain on my focused target but somehow my macro just won’t work, but similar Area effect spells like Ring of Peace works fine when i target myself, does that means we can not cast spell targeting an area on party members?
#showtooltip
/cast [@player] Ring of Peace
/cast Ring of Peace
#showtooltip
/cast [@focus] Healing Rain@target, @focus or @mouseover macros wont work for targeted abilities such as Healing Rain.
As you wrote above /cast [@player] Healing Rain will work
or
/cast [@cursor] Healing Rain are the only legitimate means of avoiding the self placement mechanic that I know of.
Yeah, reticle spells can only use @cursor and @player for automatic placement.
Personally I’d set them up like this:
#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt,@player] [combat,@cursor] [] Ring of Peace
Alt: Cast @ Player
In Combat: Cast @ Cursor
Default: Display Reticle
ic, thx guys, i guess i’m just that lazy 
I do like Cast @ Cursor, but sometimes due to the camera angle, it’s kinda hard to place it right.
Yeah, whether or not it’s worth using can depend a lot on the cooldown and nature of the spell too. Like Death and Decay, Heroic Leap go for it. Mass Dispel, Ring of Peace probably not.
yeah, i’ve been looking to try and macro cataclysm to drop on target. only thing that works is at cursor, besides on myself. ah well, here’s to wishful thinking.
