[TotGC] Jaraxxus auto targetting macro

[Ellesar1]

First of all, I haven't found anything on "Jaraxxus" using the search engine and ensured via a search for "site:mmowned.com jaraxxus" on google that this is not a repost. However, if it is against my expectations, please post a link to the original thread and do not rep me.

I found that a lot of my guild members didn't know that they could automate most of the fight as a DD by writing some macros which auto-target important mobs over less important ones.

/cleartarget
/tar Nether Portal
/tar [noexists][dead] Infernal Volcano
/tar [noexists][dead] Mistress of Pain
/tar [noexists][dead] Felflame Infernal
/tar [noexists][dead] Lord Jaraxxus
/cast Wrath

Create a macro for each of your main spells (adjust the last line. mine is for boomkins) and go brain /afk :-)


Note that I've translated this macro since I am using the german client. I cannot confirm that it works, however, my german version works perfectly:

/cleartarget
/tar Netherportal
/tar [noexists][dead] Höllischer Vulkan
/tar [noexists][dead] Herrin der Schmerzen
/tar [noexists][dead] Teuflische Höllenbestie
/tar [noexists][dead] Lord Jaraxxus
/cast zorn

Please confirm if the english one also works so that I know that I've translated all units correctly.

How it works:
- The macro first removes the current target so that it is not targeting a unit. Afterwards, it tries to target the first unit. When it does not exist since it has not spawned or is dead it goes to the next unit and so on. The [noexists][dead] switch performs this behavior.
- After choosing the correct target, all other lines fall through since the current unit exists and lives, and it casts the spell you have specified.

obvious and easy macro really

[Ellesar1]

that's why I was surprised that a significant amount of players doesn't know the idea of such macros and am posting it here.

still very usable... i am a healer, but posting that makro improved our dps in 25m toc a little bit >P

Because tab targeting/actually looking and clicking is hard, and what avoid said, obvious and easy.
