You do not even need to macro it anymore, just enable mouseover for everything in the settings !

It’s NOT a healer’s job, what are you on about? lol 
Sure, healer’s help, but it’s NOT their main task.
DPS are lazy, hence that happens. Healers do orbs WHEN people are not close to dying. Also, for melee groups, any idea how hard it is sometimes to even target them?
For DPS all/most affixes is either a healer or a tank job. Sure, on my resto shaman I take care of a lot of them, but there’s moments where I can’t, either due to healing tasks, or too many spawn at the same time.
Obviously healing goes first when you need to save people, but you will find out as a healer you are doing about 75% of all the explosives. That does still look like a healer affix to me.
Tell me you just depleted a key without telling me you just depleted a key
It is.
That’s exactly what I’ve talked about. 85-90% healer task and 15-10% tank/dd task.
Really? Wth how did I not know that. Thank you.
Does that still default to a clicked target if on my mouse there is no target currently?

Its always paired with affixes where the healer has not really something to do.
In a tyrannical week and played decent, there is not much to heal in groups. Pugs are a separate hellish reality.
I am a main healer. Hello. how are you?
If I do the ballcrushing, they can keep killing mobs → less balls spawn → less balls to kill, I can do damage → more mobs die → less balls spawn

Fair enough, was ofc referring to pugs, in fixed groups, the game is different anyways
Yes, it works exactly like the good old mouseover macro.
It saved me so many macro slots on healing specs.
You just need to watch out on what you are mousing over when you cast living flame to avoid healing when you want to damage and vice versa
throws myself in the dust
Thank you, oh great one. I am unworthy of your presence.
reloads shotgun
Time to off some macros
Pugs are the thunderdome. Its no mans land. Its lawless dum dum duuuuuuummmmm

Tab sometimes decides it has to go through all the other mobs, also seems that action targeting sometimes bugs out and deselects a target despite supposedly being “sticky” of sorts.
You mean like the community says it’s a healer affix? 
May I introduce you to eye beam?
May I introduce you with forced movement speed reduction on throw glaive for DH?
While certainly one of the easier affixes, still annoying AF because it’s nearly impossible to see them spawn when multiple things go on at the same time. Especially atrocious in places like AV.
Spiteful is near impossible to see spawn in the mob blob. Only reason I notice is because I have addons yelling at me and nameplates changing color when they are on me.
You mean cookie clicker 2.0? Horrible affix that puts people with control handicaps at a major disadvantage this week.
There is no auto addon nor can you target them with macros I believe. There’s no way to kill explosives “before they are on screen”.
Good Quality over quantity. We’re at the quantity stage atm.
Ahh Retributor is back. You even play M+ this season? Every pack has multiple mobs that need a CC or interrupt, you’re constantly switching targets if you’re doing it right, which is annoying enough without explosives.
Yes but also no. Non of them are fun, they add no fun to the game, just some are less atrocious to deal with. Explosives is deffo more punishing because they can spawn out of your range/screen and if you don’t notice you’re screwed.
Only works for some classes/specs, and only if you have proper accuracy with your mouse hand.
I hate explosive too.
Some geniuses say that take a break from your rotation and hit 1 time then continue to your rotation.
Excuse me but Im not furry warrior!!!
My rotation has 4 sec of window to blast my dps on adds.
I am surprised that this change still flew under some radars. Blizzard is really bad at communicating new features.
I can assure you that the purging of the macro bloat feels great.
By the end you will only have some Rescue (you can macro Rescue to take both you and the target back to where you were standing like a lifegrip) and Firestorm macros left
Wait… why are there even some in melee? I bait them out of the melee group as healer if there is no other range.
Or you know… the healer just does that
Works for every healer… I played them all. The only one being a bit upsetting is the paladin. All kill 1 per GCD.
No explosion, no damage, no need to heal. I see killing balls as preventing damage
Insert “spongebob write that down” meme
"I’m sorry , is this some sort of devoker joke that I’m too prevoker to understand?
Sums it up people seem to want any and all challenging content removed because screw people who want to put effort into the game
Depending on who you ask there is a bit more nuance than this especially with affixes which are effectively cookie cutter mechanics that are sometimes a really bad match for the situation
Storming spawns around the mob?
The one that’s using every gcd to keep people alive? Shifting it onto someone else doesn’t make the design of the affix any better either.
And then wonder why nobody wants to play healer? 
Or you know, we want actually challenging content instead of trying to use a gcd on some randomly spawning orb that adds no challenge other than being able to select a nameplate that’s bouncing up and down at high speed because stacking nameplates runs on 2004 code.
Most accurate description of explosive I’ve ever heard.
This will be on your test.
Lifegrip style Rescue:
#showtooltip Rescue
/cast [@player] Rescue
/target [@mouseover]
/targetlasttarget
It is the usual spell-with-a-cast-circle syndrome (like with spells such as Blizzard). People like to make a macro with [@cursor] in order to skip the cast circle and the mouse click cast circles need.

I’d love to be able to cleave them, though that’d be a bit too much to ask for.
My other thought would be to allow us to use a targetting macro. The fact that they are “one-shot” mobs doesn’t really excuse the tedium of having to click on them manually in the maelstrom of combat.
Raise their health a bit and allow the macro or else the affix might as well just be “waste a GCD every few seconds”.
Not really a postive engagement.
Wasnt it volcanic we were speaking of? puts on glasses
Oh storming and then like volcanic.
My bad.
I do, its fun. Better than SL “click Tank, press follow, go make some chores”
Much appreciated
I dont play with the circle. I would macro it like death and decay on my death knight. Alt + click for on mouse and on myself just click.
But not sure if the buff was enough to make it strong. need to test it.
