My own macro,

#showtooltip
/cast [form:1] Feral Charge – Bear; [form:3] Feral Charge – Cat; [target=mouseover,exists,help] [target=target,exists,help] [target=player] Wild Growth

…was having these same issues where it was not obeying the targeting directions and trying to only cast on my current target. I attempted to use Keeva’s macro, and had the same issue. Not sure why it works for Keeva but not when I use it! I had to use the target-clearing to fix it.

The Alt-hotkey self-cast thing is also broken. It’s basically having the same bug as the mouse-over macro & strategies that are breaking.

I’d suggest just using one of the “working” macros that you can use to target yourself instead of the alt-hotkey (Erdluf’s macro would seem to be what you want)

I use grid BUT I do not use mouseover macros (except for decurse and abolish poison). Yet I get the “out of range” error/message when I try to alt-hotkey wild growth to self cast. Is this because using alt to self cast with a hotkey works in some way like a mouseover macro? I’m confused as to why it’s happening to me in this way if everyone says its a mouseover thing.

Thank you for the insistence of trying out that macro posted earlier in the thread in the WoW forums, Lissanna! It worked beautifully for a Naxx 25 man run that I ran yesterday. (Yeah, I know, I’m a bad girl and don’t look at Restokin as often as I should >_<)

I do hope that the developers fix the problem. Mouseover macros in general help prevent things like wrong targets being “stuck” and healed instead of your intended target. Not to mention that the auto-targetting from being damaged (it’s too useful a feature in some fights and in soloing to turn off) by something will typically auto-target a boss. Mouseover macros in conjunction with spells like penance, wildgrowth, dispel, and circle of healing all permit a healer to have a boss targeted, but have the spell go elsewhere to its intended target.

Yeam im havin this problem with the grid+clique combination. I was going WTF all the time because it seemed to happen only with wg, lol, good to know it wasn’t only me.

I wonder if clique support a macro as spell.
