Macro help, modifier self / friend

Hey!

I’m starting to run out of actionbar space and is trying to solve the issue with macros.

I’ve been trying to setup a macro for healing in duo, me and a mate for arena or BG’s.

Lets say I got Lifebloom on 1, is there a way to create a macro that casting lifebloom on myself with 1, and casting lifebloom on my mate with shift+1?

Real thankful for any advice

you can use the mouseover and target self.

Would something like this do

/target arena1
/Cast lifebloom

Or say in your mates name is Bob

/target Bob
/Cast lifebloom

The first part is easy

/cast [nomod,@player] Lifebloom

where and how to do the second part is eluding me.
The second part might be.

/cast [mod:shift,@arena1] Lifebloom might be @arena2

I know @PlayerName doesn’t work, also if you have Shift-1 assigned it won’t work.

make a few macros

/cast [target=beaztie] Lifebloom

And another macro

/cast [target=Panzerwaffe] Lifebloom

Drag these to you action bars, one to postion 1 the other to position shift-1.

Crude but it works.

doesn’t work, I just tried it with a paladin healing spell.

The only thing that works still takes up two slots on your action bars. You assign a slot to shift+1

The 1 macro is
/cast [@player] Lifebloom

The Shift+1 macro is
/target MatesName
/Cast lifebloom

You could try an action bar addon if you don’t have one.

This works, if you don’t mind setting your partner as your focus:

/cast [mod:shift,target=focus][nomod:shift,@player] lifebloom;

You can even set them as focus as part of the macro.

/focus Bob;
/cast [target=focus] lifebloom;

But I can’t find a way to cast on a different named target based on key modifiers unless you change your keybindings and use two macros, or use an addon like healbot (which basically does what you want and more out of the box).

Thanks alot for all the feedback.

I’ve also come to the conclusion about focus macro. I didn’t think about adding it to the macro itself though, gonna try it out. Clever solution if it works.

Again, thanks all, much appreciated

You could always just set the focus before the game starts.

It worked just fine, perfectly.
