Targeting and features
As selected explicitly by the macro conditions.
Requirements
- Learned Far Sight; the source records its first rank at level 26. Each higher rank must be learned separately.
Known limitations
- Research-supported design for beta 1.60.1.70009; no recorded in-client macro tests. English spell names require localization on other clients.
- While a player channel is active, guarded casts do nothing. To change channel or target immediately, stop the channel manually; this is not a proc, resource or rotation decision.
- Choose the viewing location manually. The macro does not navigate, find enemies or use @cursor. Stop the channel manually before choosing a new viewpoint.
Notes
- Spell IDs identify the sourced first-rank reference; unranked names request the learned rank selected by the client. A spellbook tab is not a specialization lock.
- Talent and level records are provisional beta extraction, not proof of spell acquisition.
