Al'ar Embers macro

[Balsimar]

Does anyone happen to have a handy macro for picking up the embers?

Phase one is cake, but phase 2 can be a pain.

/tar *insert the mobs name*
/cast [target=target,target] Righteous Defence

should work, altho i normally have another tank bringing them to me so i can easily taunt them, coz i dnno about you but i cant see anything in my corner .

lol... so simple it escaped me


I have a tank bringing them to me in phase 1, but in phase 2 we're both trying to get them before they go crazy

I'll have to try that macro.

what I've done so far, is have a target macro, then toss avenger shield at them (shift-1)

Keep in mind that if you've got embers already on you, chances are that macro will just target one of them and do nothing.

very true

thats why i normally just wait for the person picking up the spawns to say on vent then taunt off them

We stack up a few embers from phase 1 and kill them as soon as phase 2 starts. During phase 2 I pick up the 2 ember spawns from the meteor and we kill them before the next meteor (all ranged on them).

Once the embers I have are dead I look for the meteor; run towards it when it drops; and use the following macro to pick up both new embers before dragging them back to a position where I have my back to a wall:

/target Ember
/cast Avenger's Shield
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("target", 7);

The last line marks my target with a raid icon (X in this case) so the dps know which to kill first.

With the 2 embers spawning on top of each other you should hit both with your shield as long as you are ready for them. If shield misses or one gets away I just manually target it and taunt.

The way we do it means there are no other embers up when I need to grab the new ones, so I can just spam the macro to pick up the new spawn as soon as possible. If you're using a method where you're stacking adds in P2 then this doesn't work as well, as it will most likey pick up on the closest ember.
