Lightwell Macro

Post by Vonriel

I recently read somewhere that lightwell is targettable through macros, not sure how accurate that is as I don't have a priest capable of casting one, but assuming it's correct..

Would it be possible to create a macro to automatically use a lightwell? As a preodminately melee dps player, I find it sometimes impossibly hard to both locate and be in range of the lightwell.

I know the common argument "stop worrying about dps and start worrying about keeping yourself up." And I do. When on my enhance shaman, some fights most of my 5 stack maelstrom weapons will go to greater healing waves on myself. I've been known to throw 3HP words of glory on myself while playing my ret pally. And yes, I fully plan on using lots of combo points on recuperate on my rogue if the fight has a mechanic it will help the healers deal with. It's not a matter of me worrying more about dps than my own survival, or I wouldn't be asking for such a macro. Sometimes, I just plain can't see the lightwell. Sometimes, the boss has dropped a massive aoe between me and the lightwell, and getting close enough to click would be a waste of time or health, or both.

Targetable, sure... unless they changed it :P

A simple /target Lightwell would suffice, I think

Using it through a macro I believe is impossible, but to make it easier, you could bind the Interact With Target command on some key (I have it in mwheeldown :P).

If you can see the lightwell, you could also go with Interact With Mouseover

Now, if there only was an interact with focus command ...

Thanks for the response.

Lightwell no longer gets targeted when you use it. Right-clicking on it effectively is a mouseover use.

Yeah, they did all that when people were complaining that they had to (1) be right next to it, and (2) lose their target to use it. Rightfully so. I love Lightwell now. I use that thing all the time on my melee characters.
