Quick macro question

I made myself a macro so that I could have Lay on Hands target myself and save me in a tight spot. I finally needed it today, and I realized that while it works as I intended, it stays targeted on me. So currently, I have
/tar Dasfro (Dasfro is my pally)
/cast LayOnHands or however it is you type it out for the macro, I don't have WoW up right now.
/train So that my friends know I am in trouble when they hear CHOOCHOO
What I need now is to know if there's a way to retarget the monster/enemy/whatever that I was targeting prior to hitting my panic button. I discovered I can retarget a monster hitting the "t" key, but I would really like this to be part of the macro, and I also don't know if that feature will always return to the same monster I had been targeting.

/targetlasttarget
This might help also.
Also, you could just try /cast spell as your Lay on Hands macro.

Definitely missed that link in my glances through the various help topics I've seen around here and other places. Thanks!
That would indeed work. Thanks again.

No problem. Hope it all works out.

Try this instead:
#showtooltip
/cast Lay on Hands
/trainWhat that will do is, redirect the spell at you, WITHOUT changing your current target at all.

Just be sure to replace
player
with the name of your friend, in case it wasnt obvious.

No...
/cast
spellname
Will cast
spellname
on yourself, regardless of your name, without switching away from your current target, which is what the OP wanted to do.

/tar Dasfro (Dasfro is my pally)

Just an FYI, but LoH is no longer castable on yourself come next patch. You have been warned :P

That reverted that change?

Did they? mmo-champ makes no mention of that as far as I know.
The only thing I see is "Lay on Hands can no longer be cast on yourself." I know they reverted the vanish change though ;_;

Oh well Ghostcrawler posted about it on the forums, check the paladin section for a link. They want to do something with LoH but not really prevent you from using it on yourself.

ah okay, must have missed it then. I don't particularly follow paladin changes unless it relates to me killing them somehow :P

Keep in mind this is PTR notes and not final. Regardless, I know it's not April, but Blizzard has messed with us about a
LoH change before
.
I understand the game has come a long way and it maybe live on the PTR, but we all know the PTR's ability to change things before rolling out live.

Wait...Lay on Hands isn't going to be able to be cast on yourself anymore? LAME

Like xJackelx said, they've played with this before. But in that case they were just scaring people, but as of right now; the change wont go live.
