Raid Symbols

[beyond-tec]

I'm still thinking about focusing several targets at once to sheep / re-sheep them or keep damage on them.

so...

1. anyone knows how to set the raid symbols (skull, this orange pizza thing, the pink diamond, .....) on an enemy with a macro?

2. anyone knows how to focus a target with a raid symbol on it?


I don't want to change the focus with my tank when I'm resheeping a mob so the mobs shall get raid symbols and the mages 1-3 will sheep their target while the tank continues aggroing the main mob.

i accidently stumbled accross the hotkeys for raid symbols

If not on your client they can be binded through the keybinding menu supplied.

ah, that's excellent

lots of thanks.


any chance to get a macro command that allows me to target a mob with a raid symbol?

/target the stupid mob with the funny pink diamond?

sadly, I dont think that's possible. However you can make a macro that sets the focus and a raid icon at the same time. I'm not sure about the commands, but I've seen it somewhere on this forum.

/script SetRaidTarget("target", n)

where n is:

1 Yellow 4-point Star
2 Orange Circle
3 Purple Diamond
4 Green Triangle
5 White Crescent Moon
6 Blue Square
7 Red "X" Cross
8 White Skull

use this together with focus on my mages, priestkey sets icon, mage key sets focus

ctrl F1 set star with priest, set focus on mage1
ctrl F2 set circle with priest, set focus on mage2
and so on

I came across an addon (possibly on wowace) that allowed all party members to set raid icons. Not sure if that'd help at all, I didn't use it so I no longer have it, but I'll try and track down what it was called.

Can you assist off of other people's focus?

For instance, setting a raid icon and focus of 3 Locks to different targets, then having macro's that do /cast [target=party3focus, nodead] corruption, /cast [target=party4focus, nodead] corruption.. and so on and so forth?

Think so, yes, but could easily be mistaken. Wouldn't it be the easiest to try it out?

target=party#focus works. You can't use it immediately after setting focus, but after a second it works fine.

what the hell is this focus stuff?

never heard of it

I know the /target, /assist etc. stuff but never heard of /focus

is this something like a variable where you can put one specific mob into?
