Macro Help

[Mystrana]

Was wondering if there is a macro function that will allow a hunters
pet to attack a target via Raid symbols with out the use of focus



ie. place a raid symbol on a mob or symbols on mobs and then have the pet attack a certain symbol



/petattack [target=RaidSymbol 1] (Raid symbol 1 is Yellow star)



i run 70 pally and 3 hunters (as dps)



this would allow me to have the hunters targeting the mob i want to dps
and the pets will go to there respective raid symbol targets ?

is this possible or will i have to use focus.

It's not possible.

I asked for it on the EU suggestion forums but I doubt we'll see it. It would be imba!

I was thinking of having a 5 warlock team and was thinking of a way to achieving separate targeting.

My initial idea was to have the option of having the voidies tank up to five mobs, whilst the lock burned down a primary target, but with the flexibility to have the warlocks able to each attack a different target.

the idea was to do the following.

The main targets each mob in turn (which you would have to do to set up the raid symbols).

You then have a round robin key in keyclone that triggers a macro on an alt to set the mains target as the pet target.

So the main would cycle through the five mobs, pressing the button, and one of the alts would have their pet set to target that mob.

It would then be a case of having two macros - one where you target the mains target, or one where you have the hunter target the pets target.

In this way you would press shift t to send in pets and then start dpsing.

This would work for your hunter too. Doesn't muck about with focus, and wouldnt be any more complicated than the assigning raid targets.

Let me know what you think.

Na not what i was after i wanted the pets to taget the mob with the
raid symbol of my chioce without the hunters targeting through /assist



this would save hotbar space becuase i wouldnt need seperate assist (i
have two assist macros for each hunter , one for all hunters to
attack main target and one for a single hunters to just target mob for
pet attack)



looks like ill have to use focus ;(



oh well

not really cause Raid symbols can only be used when in a group and all it does is have the pet taget without the hunter

the only part that might be ify is the no target by the hunter but it
still like the hunter targets anyways casue i have to mark the mobs
with me main.
