Holy Paladin Judgment Macro

[klutz_atlantis]

Hello:

I'm attempting to get the most out of the new Judgment buffs in the Holy tree, but I'm not coordinated enough to swap the enemy and then swap back to my healing target, chiefly the tank.

I've attempted to make a macro which:

Looks at what I've got targeted. If it's a friendly it does targetoftarget, but if it's a baddie it will judge current target. And then targetlasttarget. The issue is after the judge I can't seem to figure out how to get it to go back to my healing target.

With the help of server friends and online resources this is what I've come up with thus far:


#showtooltip
/cast [nodead, help, target=targetoftarget][nodead,harm]Judgement of Light
/targetlastfriend


At this point I think my logic is flawed or it isn't possible.

I think you missed the word 'Batman' off the end of your Thread title :grin:

if you are judging the tank's target, this is easy.

/cast [target=targettarget, harm] Judgement of Light


If you target your tank, this will cast Judgement of Light on your Tank's target without changing your target. you can then freely cast healing spells on the tank after.

for more options, i'd make this macro:

/cast [target=targettarget, harm, mod:alt] Judgement of Light; [target=targettarget, harm, mod:ctrl] Judgement of Wisdom; [target=targettarget, harm, mod:shift] Hammer of Justice; [nomod] Flash of Light

Press alt, judge light; press ctrl, judge wisdom; press shift, HAMMARRR!; press nothing but the hotkey, heals tank. you can do all this while just targeting the tank.

I've tested it out, but it's still targeting off the tank target, and not going back. On a positive note, it did free up some buttons. :)

thats odd, i have macros like this often and i NEVER change targets unless im using a channeled ability. judgements and hammer of justice are not channeled, so you will never retarget anything but your tank. it will cast spells on what your tank is targeting as long as you have your tank as the target.


also, if your tank is the group leader, then this will also work.

/cast [target=party1target]


if you make your tank the focus, then this will work:

/cast [target=focustarget]

plug those in for the above when you feel comfortable with using it.
also, if you just need to retarget the tank, you can...
/target party1
or
/target focus
or
/target tank_name

Is there a way to just cast a spell on target of target and then have it retarget my last target?

I found some information that helps but I know not how to apply it.

Probably i figured out the problem.

It seems that some offensive spell (like Judgements) trigger autoattack and automatically switch target to the enemy. I don't know if it is intended or not, but since years if you cast Judgement without any target, the nearest enemy is targeted and judged.

I think we have a winner.

#showtooltip Judgement of LIght
/cast [nodead, help, target=targetoftarget][nodead,harm]Judgement of Light
/stop attack
/targetlasttarget

Two key presses, just have to remember to do one when I'm farming. :wink:

yes, sorry i was out for the weekend.

/targetlastenemy i think, or /targetlasttarget works.
i didnt know judgements started your autoattacks. that would answer that question!

glad you figured it out!

Update: they've made changes last patch -- go figure.

/cast Judgment [name]
/targetlasttarget

To expand on the above:

The origional macro no longer functions the way I want after this last patch.

#showtooltip Judgement of LIght
/cast [nodead, help, target=targetoftarget][nodead,harm]Judgement of Light
/stop attack
/targetlasttarget

I've found that the "help" needs to be switched to "harm". I've also found that the need for "/stop attack" has been removed. However, the macro doesn't auto target the mob as the previous macro had, as I have to tab-target. Since this is a new problem, I've no clue where to look for a work-around.

Again, my basic quest is to have one macro to both use while solo, and for judging tank's target and targeting back. I do understand that I probably won't get all my wishes fullfilled, but I'm not stopping until I know for certain.

Current macro used:

#showtooltip Judgement of LIght
/cast [nodead, harm][target=targettarget, nodead, harm] Judgement of Light
/targetlasttarget
