Mouse over healing

This macro is especially useful in all kinds of situations, be it rifts, dungeons or PvP.

#show Basic Heal

stopcasting

cast [ctrl] @mouseover Heal Over Time

cast [ctrl] Heal Over Time

cast [alt] @mouseover Big Heal

cast [alt] Big Heal

cast @mouseover Basic Heal

cast Basic Heal

Be sure to replace the ability names with names of actual abilities :)

Here’s how it works: you need to place your mouse over the target you want to heal. By pressing the macro without a modifier key you’ll cast “Basic Heal” on it; if you hold CTRL key while casting you will cast “Heal Over Time”, and if you hold the ALT key you will cast your “Big Heal” spell.

Very useful as it allows you to have three different healing spells in just one macro.

    Just a note here: you want to go from most specific to least specific. If you do this:

    suppressmacrofailures
    cast Ward of the Ancestors
    cast [alt] Shield of the Ancestors

    Tis one will always cast Ward of the Ancestors unless it is on cooldown. On the other hand:

    suppressmacrofailures
    cast [alt] Shield of the Ancestors
    cast Ward of the Ancestors
    cast Shield of the Ancestors

    This one will cast Shield if you use the alt key, Ward if you don’t use alt and have a legitimate target selected, and Shield if you have no target or a non-Wardable target selected. (It will also try to cast Ward if you are using [alt] but Shield is on cooldown.)

    Another note: the Alt-1 through Alt-7 are bound by default for marking targets, so check for that type of issue if your perfectly-crafted macro isn’t working. :)

    This macro does not work as you describe you have to hit the modifier key and then click the macro pressing the macro does not activate it so it is impossible to click a macro and do a mouseover at the same time.

      Mouseover works, you have to add the @mouseover for it to work. I have macros with with all my heals bound to my extra mouse buttons so i can use my thumb/ pinky for ctrl alt and shift, and focus on using my other fingers for moving around instead of hitting action bar buttons

    Found a small utility that can also help with mouse over healing. Assigning the left and right buttons to F9 and F10 while in the raid frame area. Then make mouse over macros that are bound to F9 and F10.
