<p>Most healers I know don't use macros to heal--at least the good ones I know don't.</p>

<p>The only time I've ever seen a healer of any type use a macro for a healing spell is if it is one that somehow incapacitates the healer for the duration of the heal.  The only real 'macro' part of it is the text in group or raid say warning people that you will be stunned and therefore unable to assist in other ways.</p><p>And one word of advice - if you only want people who play furies to answer your question, please post it in the Fury board.  Your post came across as rather rude, and that's not the best way to make people want to help you.</p>

Yep, as was said, your original post does come off rather rude and will stop some people from trying to help you. Anyways, I agree with the general sentiment that you shouldnt use macros for healing. Having a macro to send a group say when you cast something like your emergency heal can be useful, but other than that you dont know what order you will be casting your heals in. I generally start a fight with my HoT and try to keep that up on the MT the entire fight. I then toss in my other single target heals as needed if the HoT doesnt keep up with the damage. Group heals I generally only use when things go crazy and everybody is pulling aggro from everybody else. When things get real nasty all you can do is spam every heal you have when the timers are up (but wait a bit for your HoT as the effect lasts longer than the recast) and hope for the best.

Apparently you do, just don't get it, Mr. OP.  As said previously, we'd be happy to help you if you'd tell us specifcally what you'd like a macro to do; more specific than 'healing'.  And to be honest, playing my Fury was no different than playing my Templar.  I just had a slightly different combination of abilities while soloing.  When in group, I had the same basic heals, just with different icons and names.

I am a fury, so I am entitled to give advice (yay). I have never used a macro to assist in healing, and see no way how using a macro could possibly speed up healing, especially as you can only stack 2 spells at once, period. The only macro I do use is one to say /guildsay grats! <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Rude post, run on sentence, sucky healer to begin with if you can't keep a group alive (FFS I dual boxed my Monk and Fury together and we took out heroics all the time, farming Varsoons / Runnyeye / Cazic Thule etc), don't give any examples of what you've used in the past, it looks like you're yelling at us and for your information there are ALOT of bright people who know the mechanics of this game and don't necessarily have to play a Fury to tell you how to setup macros. My Fury is a shelved alt, my Templar who was my old raid main and he barely has any macro's except for /useability on PLAYERNAME SPELLNAME, which is usually just a few cure macro's for the MT / OT and maybe a healer or two in another group (ala Mayong / Emerald Halls where cures rule the encounter). But since you don't want a non Fury's help...

There is no need for that kind of behavior. You might not like what people have to say, but they are trying to help you.</p><p>Secondly, this isn't WoW or any of those other games. You don't 'need' macros to heal anything. I can't see how they would even aid you myself, unless you are looking for a way to heal while AFK. You can heal just fine with ANY priest class without the use of macros.</p><p>If you require macros to heal, perhaps you should rethink how you are playing. There is nothing at all wrong with how the game works. I know of no healers (including furies) that use macros. If you find your self in dire need of using macros to heal, then you should likely reroll to some other class that is less likely to make or break a group.</p><p>And yes, I have a fury myself. I heal just fine. </p>

Fury want a be. if you cant heal one group at 44 you should rethink how you play. my wife is fury and i play the class a lot. only macros we use is for pocupine(sp?) and call of storms, mainly cause they stun on cast.</p><p>ohh and if you stop trying to do damage and heal once in a while they may live. learn to debuff and heal. save your DD for Solo. ro when you acually know how to play</p>

I play a level 68 Fury but I'm American so I don't think that he wants my help. O'well. Best of luck.

<p>Personally, I smell troll.</p><p>If I'm wrong...as others have said, say what you specifically want the macro to do.  My main isn't a fury, but I do play one.</p><p>I agree with what most have said though, I don't see how macro's can possibly help you "heal better".  If you aren't managing to do well as a healer without macros, macros won't make it better.  If that's the case, you should consider making a new character that is not a healing class.  Some people just aren't cut out to be healers.</p><p>That being said, I do use some macros for healing.  Specifically I have a few set up to target the main tank and then cast my various heals.  I use this because i'm lazy (it's one keystroke instead of 2) not because it makes any difference in how quickly I actually can peform the actions involved. </p>

It wouldn't surprise me if he wants a macro that casts a heal when someone takes damage... can you do that in WoW?  Or did I imagine it?

<p>Macros only push buttons and insert text, either at the same time (combining the actions) or you can do it single handedly, which wouldn't be smart with spells, but is easier with text, since you won't have to type the same stuff over again. Examples:</p><p>----</p><p>/(whatever the command is to cast your healing spell)</p><p>/g Casting HoT on %t! (where %t is your target)</p><p> -----</p><p>to do the single ones, just only use one line. Pretty self explanitory. But that's all it is, and all it's supposed to be.</p><p>Macros can't help you heal. They don't boost speed, and if anything, they just push one spell, and queue another. Which, is REALLY easy. The only way it could be useful is if you're warning people that you're casting a spell, or pulling (saying "Inc %t!) or anything like that. There may be something where you don't have enough room in your spell book, and there's a spell that you cast right after your first one...but seriously man...that's it.</p><p> OP, you asked very rudely for people to help you, and were ignorant to other people's opinion and help, just because they wern't of the Fury class, but; however, knew of the simple game mechanics. Please, do everyone a favour and learn from your mistakes. Luckily, the internet is very forgiving, so any of this will simply be forgotten within a month, give or take.</p>
