is there a reason why loads of people are gimping themselves by using focustarget instead of targettarget?

[Simulacra]

*sigh*

I wrote the Manifesto.

The primary goal of No Focus for me was to free up focus for use elsewhere. It was due to the power of focus that I wanted to NOT use it unless absolutely necessary. I wanted to leave it available.

As far as the complexity, I've ran both focus and no focus, and once you get the basic sets of macros put together, there's really no difference. I've never noticed an increased complexity of one compared to the other.

As far as "making sure you have the right target targetted" - That was never an issue, I'm actually curious why anyone would think actually having something targetted would be an issue.

/agree and thank you for writing it

it's the same, all we're doing is switching focus for target and focustarget for targettarget, in fact you could probably grab all your macros and perform a mass replace in notepad and carry on as normal - there is no extra level of complexity. Also I think ppl have got the wrong idea, this approach isn't saying don't use focus at all, it's saying lets leave focus for something else as the target approach does not preclude the use of focus. I think ppl got their knickers in a twist due to my flame inspiring thread title which was the purpose btw , nothing better than a lively discussion lol.

A point made earlier in this thread was that this approach would be no good for melee, please could someone explain this as in my limited testing I've found no issues with melee, however this was only last night on the training dummies and not on real mobs.
