EZMode Marking For MainTanks
UPDATED:
Tweaked this out some more and posted new macros. The changes in the macros from the original post
will be highlighted in green.
Quick Summary of Changes:
- Added Logic to prevent the mouseover macro from marking friendlies
- Added Logic to prevent friendlies from receiving skulls
- New Macro SAVEME! for mouseover Rigtheous Defense / Intervene on friendlies
Moved the skull portion of the macro to a seperate one to use with click (MultibarLeftButton3) This way the main spam button is not over 255.
This thread got a lot more response than I thought it would so I'm updating the main post instead of answering all the private messages..
SKULLY
Code:
/stopmacro [target=target,help]
/script if GetRaidTargetIndex("target")~=8 then SetRaidTargetIcon("target",8) end
This Macro I call Marky Mark. I put it on MultiBarLeftButton4 (4th button down on the left most bar on the far right).
That way /click MultiBarLeftButton4 will trigger it.
MARKYMARK
For shits and giggles I changed the logic on the random marker to go from 1 to 8 instead of count down backwards from 8 to 1. This macro is exactly 255 chars.
Code:
/stopmacro [target=mouseover,help]
/script if GetRaidTargetIndex("mouseover")~=nil then end;if (charm == nil) or (charm > 8) then charm=0; end; charm=charm+1;if GetRaidTargetIndex("mouseover")==nil and charm~=8 then SetRaidTarget("mouseover", charm); end
SAVEME!
Being as I'm making the other macros do nothing on friendly targets figured I have to handle friendlies some how :P
Added [Target=MouseOver, Help] Righteous Defense/Intervene. To MultibarLeftButton5.
Paladin Version
Code:
#showtooltip Righteous Defense
/stopmacro [target=mouseover,harm]
/cast [target=mouseover,help] righteous defense
Warrior Version
Code:
#showtooltip Intervene
/stopmacro [target=mouseover,harm]
/cast [target=mouseover,help] Intervene
This is an example of my paladins faceroll tank macro. I know this isn't a 9696 setup it's more a get snap threat button :P

WTF DOES ALL THIS MEAN???
Your SpamButton(s) / Click Button(s) still function the same, but now whatever target your tank targets now gets a skull icon. Anything that your tank mouses over that DOES NOT ALREADY have a raidicon gets one. This is great for marking adds or just aoe tanking and puking marks out as the mobs come at you. Friendly targets will not be marked, but if you mouseover a friendly be prepared to to have some agro :).
This is pretty useful when you MT pugs, Like staring at marks while 5 boxing, or do something like 4 box and bring another person and they have down syndrome.
