Shaman Healing Macro Re: Chain Heal

[F9thRet]

Hi again all.

New day, New question.

I use the easy numpad assign to players 1-5, The ")" key for the big heal on the tank.

Normally I use the [target=focustargettarget] for the chain heal when I need it, But many times it will be the tank, who is just out of range from my other Shamans.

What do you guys use as your target for the Chain Heal. Please note , I am not using a click through thing yet. I might later on, but I don't have the time to figure it all out right now.

Should I just put it on one of my other 3 shamans, and let a rip?

Usually going with tank , 1 resto Sham, and 3 Elementals.

Once again, my thanks for any input.

I just have a key bound to the numpad for all my resto's heals for each of my toons, and a set for everyone to heal a toon with chain and lesser healing wave, using ctrl or alt or both as modifiers adds alot of keys to the numpad so theres plenty for all of that.

I have Earth Shield to my target's target, or the target if the target's target is hostile.

Also have Riptide and Healing Wave assisting my tank.
/cast [target=targettarget, help] Riptide; [target=targettargettarget, help] Riptide; Riptide.
(Note I use a target based system, so all shammies target my pally by default).

In Jamba, I have it set for when a given toon gets below 66% health - the raid warning is Press G4, or whatever.
Something like /cast [target=ToonD] Healing Wave.

I have one key for all the shammies to Lesser Healing Wave, basically the same logic as Riptide.
This is for support/burst healing, if the Resto needs a bit of help.

ahh thanks guys, I'll play around with it some more. I always forget about adding HELP to the macros.

When the shit really hits the fan, I hit my "make a pretty pattern for the onlookers" chain heal, which is just a macro with /cast [target=<someToon>] Chain Heal, where <someToon> is a hard-coded name.

When spread out properly, it makes the usual star that people like to oggle at, but in an instance it's a way to guarantee everybody gets a shed-load of healing.

It also means that DPS completely stops for a couple of seconds, but for me that's a fair price for a mindless "just heal everybody" button that I really don't need very often anyway.

I run 4x Elementals, and I have my Chain Heal bound to #7 on my keyboard. Its a basic targeting system:

Shaman1 --> Shaman2
Shaman2 --> Shaman3
Shaman3 --> Shaman4
Shaman4 --> Shaman1

If my Paladin is close, he'll also get a good chunk of heals.
