Paladin Buff Macros

You will be creating (up to) 5 macros on each pally. Then put each one on the same bar across all pally's and hit them in order (wait for the GCD to finish) and you'll all be buffed.

This assumes that EliteCrusher is your prot pally and all others are Ret pallies.

Elitecrusher's Macros (Buff1, Buff2, Buff3, Buff4, Buff5)

Code:

#showtooltip Blessing of Sanctuary
/cast [target=Elitecrusher] Blessing of Sanctuary

#showtooltip Blessing of Sanctuary
/cast [target=Elitesqushe] Blessing of Sanctuary

#showtooltip Blessing of Sanctuary
/cast [target=Elitesmasher] Blessing of Sanctuary

#showtooltip Blessing of Sanctuary
/cast [target=Elitepwner] Blessing of Sanctuary

#showtooltip Blessing of Sanctuary
/cast [target=Eliteowner] Blessing of Sanctuary

Elitesqushe's Macros (Buff1, Buff2, Buff3, Buff4, Buff5)

Code:

#showtooltip Blessing of Might
/cast [target=Elitecrusher] Blessing of Might

(no Buff2 macro)

#showtooltip Blessing of Kings
/cast [target=Elitesmasher] Blessing of Kings

#showtooltip Blessing of Wisdom
/cast [target=Elitepwner] Blessing of Wisdom

#showtooltip Blessing of Might
/cast [target=Eliteowner] Blessing of Might

Elitesmasher's Macros (Buff1, Buff2, Buff3, Buff4, Buff5)

Code:

#showtooltip Blessing of Wisdom
/cast [target=Elitecrusher] Blessing of Wisdom

#showtooltip Blessing of Might
/cast [target=Elitesqushe] Blessing of Might

(no Buff3 macro)

#showtooltip Blessing of Kings
/cast [target=Elitepwner] Blessing of Kings

#showtooltip Blessing of Wisdom
/cast [target=Eliteowner] Blessing of Wisdom

Elitepwner's Macros (Buff1, Buff2, Buff3, Buff4, Buff5)

Code:

#showtooltip Blessing of Kings
/cast [target=Elitecrusher] Blessing of Kings

#showtooltip Blessing of Wisdom
/cast [target=Elitesqushe] Blessing of Wisdom

#showtooltip Blessing of Might
/cast [target=Elitesmasher] Blessing of Might

(no Buff4 macro)

#showtooltip Blessing of Kings
/cast [target=Eliteowner] Blessing of Kings

Eliteowner's Macros (Buff1, Buff2, Buff3, Buff4, Buff5)

Code:

(no Buff1 macro)

#showtooltip Blessing of Kings
/cast [target=Elitesqushe] Blessing of Kings

#showtooltip Blessing of Wisdom
/cast [target=Elitesmasher] Blessing of Wisdom

#showtooltip Blessing of Might
/cast [target=Elitepwner] Blessing of Might

(no Buff5 macro)

bah is there no way of doing it all in 1 macro per pally ?

Poyzon · 10-07-2009, 08:10 AM

The problem is you can't use a /castsequence and change the target for each spell. The target param applies to all spells in the /cast sequence line.

You could simplify this down to 5 macros on 4 paladins instead of spreading them out across all 5.

I've seen mention of the PallyPower addon that might make this easy/easier, but I don't have any experience with it, muchless in a multiboxing environment.

I think I might actually try this tonight. Looks promising and will save a bunch of macro slots.

:/ This is super easy. Just get Smart Buff and make ONE macro for each toon like so /click SmartBuff_KeyButton

Just setup SmartBuff on each toon for what you want buffed and spam it until it's done!

pinki104 · 10-07-2009, 08:58 AM

never used smart buf so would need some sort of tut

It's actually wicked simple. When you open the menu you see everything you can possibly buff with one, or two, check boxes. One is solo buff the second is for group buffs (greater blessings). You can also pick your situation from a drop down menu at the top (i.e. solo, party, raid, BG, whatever). You just check the buffs you want that toon to cast and it will cast the buffs as long as you spam the button or until everyone is buffed.

Another option would be to put 1 macro on each paladin and bind it to the same key across all.

To use, have your main target a party member, then hit the key. Target the next party member, hit the key. Repeat until everyone is buffed.

Pros: No addon dependency. Can buff non-party members.
Cons: You have to make sure you target someone before buffing.

Elitecrusher's Macro

Code:

#showtooltip
/cast [target=focustarget] Blessing of Sanctuary

Elitesqushe's Macro

Code:

#showtooltip
/cast [target=focustarget] Blessing of Might

Elitesmasher's Macro

Code:

#showtooltip
/cast [target=focustarget] Blessing of Wisdom

Elitepwner's Macro

Code:

#showtooltip
/cast [target=focustarget] Blessing of Kings
