CC macros while using Focus targetting...

[konraddo]

I've been using this technique as well. One thing to note, do not use /target anymore in your macros or it will break your intention to specify target for CC, though you may still use /targetlasttarget to reverse the effect. It's quite complicated so I guess we probably should use focustarget for nukes, charname for heals and target for CC.

Anyways, I dislike using macros to specify targets for CC. I manually tab through the warcraft clients and click on specific target. It's much much faster and easier to do. With the new PiP function of keyclone, I guess we may simply press the hotkey to switch to another character and do the clicking. As someone mentioned, it's even possible to AOE-targetting. (Immediately I have the intention to put a talent point into Shadowfury! especially since I can keep nuking on my alt characters because of using focustarget. )

If you are using focus targetting off your main, then you still have 1 unused resource for targetting for things like CC, etc...

Regular targetting

When you use /cast [target=focustarget] XXX your char does not actually take a target. So use this knowledge to implement a CC targetting scheme!

Hint: You can create macros to have your mage/whatever actually target the mob you want to CC, then simply /cast [target=target,nodead,harm] Polymorph/Etc...

So the mage will CC his actual target, and nuke the focustarget!
