Holy Paladin Judgment Macro

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:


Code:

#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.

-Klutz|||I think you missed the word 'Batman' off the end of your Thread title|||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.|||Quote:

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|||Quote:

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.




-Klutz|||I think we have a winner.


Code:

#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.

-klutz|||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.


Code:

/cast Judgment [name]
/targetlasttarget
