I just used the mouse over macro from modern wow. Plugged it into the beta macro window and shift+clicked the spell and it worked.

I remember the big addon being Healbot back in the day but I don’t think its used anymore…

oh do you recall what that macro is by chance? or how i might be able to find it?

All the kewl kids use Clique + Grid. But you could get away with just Clique.

I think you are looking for…
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][@player] Power Word: Shield

Or replace the “Power Word: Shield” with whatever you want to cast. Will cast highest rank unless you specify otherwise.
P.s. was working on stress test.

After the first priority I just use [] and stopped bothering with the second nodead and @player.

It was an addon and it would let you assign spells like Holy Light to left click, Flash of Light to Right click and Cleanse to Middle click.

Would it have to be “target=mouseover” since we will use the modern api or does @ still work?

Might be misinformed I’ve only ever used “target=”

10

can this macro be updated to use the lowest required rank based on % of hp?

11

The @ version is more modern than target= . Both are supported by the modern API.

No.

Ah gotcha. Thanks.

You would have to use mod=Ctrl or whatever to assign lower spell ranks. Not even sure that’ll work with mouse over though…

14

Clique? …

15

This is easily possible; you can use a modifier key to cast different ranks and make them all mouseover.

The difference is that with modifier keys, you choose which rank to cast yourself. The macro cannot make the decision for you.

Hey sorry if I’m small brain but I’m not sure if I got my answer – so is there a way to macro mouseover healing without an addon like clique, grid, luna, etc

What would that type of macro look like?

Sorry if its been posted and it went over my head, I dont feel that versed in the lingo on this topic

Healbot is still around. The Vanilla version of Healbot was broken because it took all the decision making away from the player and basically played itself. The version now is what I use because it’s based on mouseover macros and it’s always been the one I used. I tried Clique and some of the others but I just never liked them as much as Healbot.

Here are two different versions.

Version 1:
/cast [target=mousover, help] Healing Spell

Version 2:
/cast [@mouseover, help] Healing Spell

More complicated and more detailed versions can exist as well. Here’s one that will cast a healing spell at your mouseover target if they’re an ally; if not, at your target if they’re an ally; and if not, at yourself.

/cast [target=mouseover, help] Healing Spell; [target=target, help] Healing Spell; [target=player] Healing Spell;

Sorry I was at work and didn’t have access to my macros.

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,exists][@target,exists][@player]

Copy paste that and shift+click the spell name at the end. Like this:

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,exists][@target,exists][@player]Blizzard (rank1)

This macro does a couple things.

  1. It will heal your mouseover target.
  2. If nothing is targeted then it defaults to casting on yourself.
  3. If you have someone targeted by aren’t mousing over anyone then it will heal your target.
