Self Cast...

[Manica]

i miss that feature. its so hard to retrain myself to hit F1 before casting on myself. i wish blizzard would have implemented a similar feature as well.

i strongly dislike the new interface that blizzard developed. I had all my bars set up quite nicely just the way i wanted them. being a priest, i have tons of spells and abilities that were set up just the way i liked them.

for now i will just patiently wait for the new cosmos release

You can easily create a macro for selfcasting ANY spell even without cosmos:

1. Create a new macro

2 Insert this

/target (YOUR NAME WITHOUT BRACKETS)

then open your spellbook shift+leftclick on your desired spell

/assist (YOUR NAME WITHOUT BRACKET)

the last line is just for making sure you get your old target back

For me it looks like that (GERMAN VERSION!)

/target Zoljahga
/wirken GerinesHeilen(Rang1)
/assist Zoljahga

the only thing not quite satisfacting is that you can only use one spell per macro.

If anyone knows a workaround for combining a few spells please tell me so.
Maybe a for-loop which just counts works?
Has anyone experiemented yes?

You can only cast one spell per keypress. This is intentional and to prevent botting.

hmm, so its intended to be impossible to combine a few buffs in one macro?

What about the paladine buffer, which is part of cosmos?

I did not use it so maybe i got it wrong.

You have to press the button once per buff. The addon takes care of changing targets and all that, but you still have 1 cast per keypress.

For self-cast, I don't do the..

/target (yourself)
/cast...
/assist...


As it loses the original target...
my macro works like so...
Example: Self-Heal.

/cast Healing Wave(Rank 9)
/script TargetByName("Asmodaie");


Which doesn't lose original target and is considerably shorter.

hmmm,

i experimented a lot, and my macro works the way its intended, if you already have a target, you ll still have it afterwards.
It also works, if you are meanwhile attacked, cause of the way /assist works.

What prevents you from loosing your former target, i thought you will become your own target after the line /script TargetByName.

Or maybe i got this wrong, please tell me, im here to learn :)
