Can /castsequence work on different targets?
John Gordon
different target with each keypress?
I tried this:
/castsequence [@party1] Heal, [@party2] Heal, [@party3] Heal
But it kept casting Heal on the same person.

I am 99.99% sure that you can't have a castsequence target people. I may
be wrong though.
If it's for healing, it sure sounds like somthing like the very core of
a healing add-on (Healbot / Vuhdoo) where you map your heals to hot
keys or mouse clicks and click on names to cast the heals....

Yes, it's for healing. And I do already use grid+clique.
However, my mouse arm has been aching a lot lately, so I wondered if there
was a way to cast power word: shield on the entire raid one at a time with
keypresses instead of mouse clicks.

How about /castsequence [reset=target] Heal
You would still have to change targets, but you could map a key to
that. This way you could have a whole sequence of spells you cast on a
target, with the sequence resetting every time you change target.

I don't want a sequence of spells on a target; I want one spell on a
sequence of targets.

Don't think it works on rest of raid but for you party: F1, (shield
keybind), F2, (shield), etc to F5 works. Otherwise keybind spells with
mouseover macros and just move the mouse over the person? A lot less
work on a stressed hand than using mouseclicks to cast, at least.

As far as I know you a /castsequence can only have one target for the whole
sequence.
I don't know if this works since 4.0.1, but pre-4.0.1 you could work around it
by using 3 /castsequence commands in one macro:
/castsequence [@party1] Heal,,
/castsequence [@party2] ,Heal,
/castsequence [@party3] ,,Heal
This works because when the /castsequence hits an empty clause it does nothing
and falls through to the next command in the macro.
I have a nagging suspicion that I read something somwhere about the empty
clauses in /castsequence commands being changed in 4.0.1, though, so it may
not work any more.
As an aside, why do you need a macro like this? It doesn't seem very useful to me.

My guild is working on Lich King and I play a disc priest, so one of my main
jobs is to cast Power Word: Shield on everyone.
Clicking on everyone's Grid square is a lot of mouse movement, and (perhaps
no coincidence) my mouse arm has been aching lately.
So, I wondered if there was a way to cast PW:S on the whole raid with a
keybind instead of ten separate mouse movements and clicks. (I used Heal
in my question because it's shorter to type than Power Word: Shield.)
