Any general purpose macros you'd recommend?
Yesterday I was doing a quest where I didn't need to target any enemies (I had to throw quest-specific AoE grenades that used a ground-targeting circle).
I was taking damage, but my self-heals weren't working. The problem? I still had the quest-giver targeted and my heals were aimed at him (out of range, but still a friendly target).
I'm changing my heals to macros of the form
#showtooltip /use [@player] Rejuvenation so that kind of mistake won't get me killed. Just remember to test any macro before you really need it (death by spelling error would also be bad).

You could change the general settings so that a heal/beneficial spell always targets yourself. Holding down [ALT] while clicking the heal also does the same job.

For ALT I have to first figure out the problem (I have a friendly targeted). This happens so rarely on my ironman that I don't even think to check for it (I'm checking for the wrong action bar scrolled up, checking to see if I got silenced, checking to see if I'm hitting the wrong button). I use Interface/Combat/AutoSelfCast, but that only applies when you have no target or an enemy target. It doesn't help when I have a friendly target (even if that target is out of range).

Yes, you're right, settings works only for when you have unfriendly target. I'm on this forum on another copmuter than my gaming one, so I have to rely on memory. Didn't you get an "out of range"-warning?

Didn't you get an "out of range"-warning? Probably, but I may have had sound way down, or dismissed it as something not being in range of my auto-swing.
