Raid Symbols

[Bollwerk]

Focus is a built-in "alternate" target for WoW. It is extremely useful for classes that do CC. The easiest usage in game is to target a mob you need to CC, then do /focus (or make a macro that has that command). Then you can target the main DPS mob and CC your focus without changing targets, using a macro like /cast [target=focus] Polymorph

Whatever you have "focused" will appear below your current target window, like another target window. You can test it out by just targeting yourself, then /focus to see where the window will be.

Very slick.

Focus is very useful indeed, but I found that its better to use focus for all your macros

I allways focus my main before playing and use a /cast [target=focustarget] spell for everything.

This is very useful since all your macros would work even if you're not in party, in a raid or BG. It will allso make it very easy to change main on the fly with just focusing another toon.

However you would loose your ability to use focus as a CC target. But since you'll never have a normal target with the [target=focustarget] macro, you could just use your normal target for CC targeting.
