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.

party I am Squirreling the target %T, do not attack it!
