Thread: Fast switching of healing targets...

Does any one have some macros or tactics regarding how to change your healing targets in the fastest manner possible?


I am in and out of many groups and act as the healer more often than not so having a macro where i have to change everyones name all the time wont cut it (too time consuming)


First off is there s command like /cycleTargetOutward but will work for targeting players? At least then I can get close to my heal target and hit my heat target macro and be sure that I get him right away.


Also is there a k/b shortcut for auto-targeting members in a group?


I use a mix of Bacta Toss and Bacta Shot (mostly Bacta Toss since I often have to stay back from the groups puller, so ranged healing is what I use the most)


So I am looking for someway to deliver a bacta-toss to a hurting player fast (my goal is to not let anyone in my group become incapped, even when we get mobbed)


Thanks

I rebound all the keys to select group members to 1-8 from CTRL+1-CTRL+8.


That way I can hit a number then a heal.

You can also rekey them to the numpad.... i actually use my number pad for attacks, but I could see it working for group healing too


Could do 1-8 on Numpad for teammates, then "/" for bacta shot, "*" for bacta toss, and "-" for bacta spray



Bring back the CU or at least Pre-CU... its better that this MMO Third Person Shooter bullcrap

I usually just do the CTL+1-8 thing, but I am curious is there a / command for targeting a group member by number, so it could be generic and inserted into macros. And can you bind keystrokes to commands or an alias? Like rebind CTL+4 to /group4?

OOH..now we are talking! Thank you so much.


Id much rather be able to target a group member by number than by name since the macro maintence is so much easier and quicker.


SO what I am looking at doing is this..


The macro will simply be a /bactatoss & /bactashot combo that loops (bind this to the "H" for heal key). Then I will bind the group target macros to the numpad so all I have to do when sya grp member # 7 is hurting (the combo is so no matter if the target gets out of range for a shot, they are in range for a toss, so they will get some kind of heal)


Press Numpad 7 to target, then "H" to launch the heal macro and all I have to then is press a numpad key to switch targets.


Nice, thank you all. :-)

I am assuming you are subtracting one from four to account for yourself in the group, so the first member on your group toolbar (listed right below your own HAM) would be targetGroup1? This is immensely helpful, thanks for the info Badger. Looks I will be doing some rebinding and messing all my toolbars up again.

/ui action targetGroup0 selects the first group member so yeah, take one number off.
