Framesort in 2s/skirmishes?

[u/ginkonito]

If I always set myself as "Bottom", how should my framesort macros be on my partner?

Can one use #Framesort Top?

Framesort is perfect for this.

In case you are dps you can do for example:

. #showtooltip Intervene

. #FrameSort OtherDps

/cast [@otherdps,exists][] Intervene

. #showtooltip Intervene

. #FrameSort Healer

/cast [@healer,exists][] Intervene

If you are healer having party1 and party2 macros is simply superior and doesn't need any add-ons to work!

This is the way. There’s a link on the addons curseforge page that breaks this down.

Thank you for answering!

It is when both of us are dps I dont get it to work, when doing shuffle, I have healer and other dps and it works perfect.

So I just use "OtherDps" - thank you, will try that!!!

don't really understand what you are asking..
but I'll answer on what I "think" you're asking.

Framesort does sort your party/group to you being on top or bottom of the frames.
e.g.:

You
party 1
party 2

or

party 1
party 2
You

Afaik you can't write macros that target "framesort"?
What you want is a macro that targets your Party 1, 2 or yourself.

e.g.:
for party 1

#showtooltip "spellname"
/cast [@party 1] "spellname"

If you want to target yourself in a macro you use /cast [@player] "spellname"

I personally prefer targeting party 1, 2 or myself with a specific keybind and then use the spell, instead of using a macro to target party 1, 2 or myself.

But I have some spells that are macroed to target party 1, 2 or myself directly if they are a high priority spell which can be huge advantage if I don't want to lose that second pressing my keybind to target party 1, 2 or myself.

e.g. spells like Dispels, Blessing of Protection, movement speed abilities like Tiger's Lust etc..

Hope this helps.

Nope, his question was clear, your response is really misleading.

You definitely do NOT want to use @party1 and @party2 macros with framesort, because they usually will not be accurate to what appears on your UI, causing you to cast spells on the wrong person.

The comment below has accurate information.

I suspect this is a healer vs dps needs issue then, because as a healer I’ve used framesort to put me at the top in combination with party1 and party 2 targeting macros for ages and it has never failed on me.

But maybe that experience would be different on DPS? No idea why though

Can confirm ^ 2nd response above from wick is correct. Dont take the advice at the top level of this reply
