Friday Morning Macro: Blind

Let’s assume that in this space right here I have said something extremely witty and clever. Perhaps it was a pun, maybe a nice metaphor or just a funny observation. It can be anything, that’s the power of your imagination.

On to business.

/cast [target=mouseover,exists,harm] Blind;[target=focus,exists,harm];[harm,exists] Blind; [target=targettarget,harm] Blind
/focus [target=mouseover,exists,harm]

This little guy (personification is fun!) will cast Blind on the target you are currently moused-over, your focus, your current target or your target’s target, in that order of precedence. If the target is your mouseover than it will focus it which will allow you to watch the debuff through addons like ClassTimer. A nifty little macro, particularly in PvP and in those weird emergency PvE situtations (you break it, you tank it).

Side Note: I’ve been very pleased with the response to Ask Zaltu and I hope to answer as many questions as possible. My plan is the run the column once a week, most likely on Tuesday or Thursday but this could (will) change depending on the number of questions I receive.

Happy Weekend.

  1. Zaltu, so can I be dpsing a boss, and mouseover someone else with this, and blind them?

    I assume I could edit this to just use the mouse over portion. Essentialy, I am looking to make this more a PVE style script. The only time I really use blind is when a CC breaks on someone, right now, I am roating my camera, clicking them then pressing blind.

    I’d also make a suggest to add,

    /rw BLIND on %t

    I think this one of the few times that a RW is okay for a CC, because its so easily broken.

  2. “Zaltu, so can I be dpsing a boss, and mouseover someone else with this, and blind them?”

    Yup.

  3. You might want to turn off php warning or whatever the setting is so that when your script errors on fetching from the armory (or whatever) you don’t get:

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/.galloped/fenixdarkclaw/oneroguesjourney.com/wp-content/plugins/wowarmory/ajax/get_char.php on line 56

    Love the site, keep up the excellent work.
