    Oh, 1 more thing I was wondering for my warlock macro wise. I currently use a dot macro that goes Siphon, Corruption then Agony in that order. I thought I read something about the graphic being able to change on the button, that way i can see what spell is up next, that possible?

    If your using /castsequence then it should automatically change the icon.

    I thought it was /castsequence, but also the icon that is the red ?. Try that. At work or I'd verify that.

    I havent actually needed focus yet only being a paladin. When I do CC a mob with fear I just make it my main target. I never need to target anything because of mouseover. Although, in arenas I can see how one focus, one main target would be nice. I have to try that out.

    I just wish there was a way to see castbars for focus targets.

    Anytime you use the big red ? (very first icon when making a new macro) it will automatically change to whatever action will be used, as long as that action has it's own image.

    I really like how it auto updates with my shaman's mouse over macros.

    I linked this earlier but I'll link it again. Focus Frame it displays a target frame for your focus. Includes a castbar for them and shows their target.

    Yup, that turns out to be the problem - the button I had put the macro on were ctrl defaulted to the master volume control. On the other hand, that helped fix the problem I had of the volume going too high. :oops:

    I’m trying to make a “panic button” macro that pops Blade Flurry, Adrenaline Rush and Evasion.

    I used:

    /cast Blade Flurry
    /stop casting
    /cast Adrenaline Rush
    /stop casting
    /cast Evasion
    /stop casting

    It will activate Blade Flurry and Evasion, but not Adrenaline Rush. Any ideas and/or help?

    For any class with long-range CC or spell stoppers, Focus is a godsend because /mouseover works on the frame as well. In the chaos of a 5v5, it's a Godsend being able to mouseover that priest's or druid's frame to fear or counterspell, and not risk a miss-mouseover.

    The latest version of the Pitbull addon, which looks a lot like ag_Unitframes, includes a focus window (along with every other possible player/target window). They are all uber configurable.

    Highly recommended.

    If any of those skills trigger the global cooldown you won't be able to chain them like that. The best you could do is use /castsequence to make one button you mash 3 times.

    It would be nice to be able to hit one button and alt-tab for 5min then just sit there clicking it over and over.

    And really, you can't get onto me about being lazy in a macro thread.

    Well, regardless, it can't be done. There's no way to cast more than one non-instant spell with one keypress.

    Please elaborate with specifics to focus. I'm only NOW discovering this whole concept of mouseovers and 3v3 arena games. To be able to keep the opposing paladin/priest as my focus so I could mouseover their focus frame and dispell that shield/BoW would be absolutely game breaking.

    You don't even have to have a focus frame up or mouseover.

    /cast [target=focus] spell

    will cast on your focus without losing your current target. IE a banish macro I have on my lock. Will focus if I don't have a focus or the focus is dead and then banish. Otherwise if I have a focus it will banish my focus.

    #showtooltip
    /stopcasting
    /clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
    /clearfocus [target=focus,noexists]
    /focus [target=focus,noexists]
    /cast [target=focus] Banish

    So if I'm reading the latest patch notes correctly, I can condense this:
    /cast [target=mouseover,help,exists,nodead] Righteous Defense; [target=target,help,exists,nodead] Righteous Defense; [target=targettarget,harm,exists,nodead] Righteous Defense;


    To this?
    /cast [target=mouseover,help,exists,nodead] [target=target,help,exists,nodead] [target=targettarget,harm,exists,nodead] Righteous Defense

    If I'm not mistaken you could've done that before this patch. The only thing I see in the patch notes is regarding /castsequence, which is different than what you're doing.

    Unfortunetly he's looking to Alt+Tab out, so that solution is not so viable at such a time :(

    (also point me in the direction of good arena frames ;) )

    Alrighty. I dont have my exact macro coding here at work, but I'll post it from home if anyone is interested:

    In my 2v2 matches, I play a Priest of the Shadow flavor (gasp!, I know its shocking). So my buttons look like (using Bartender3):
    (Shadowform)		(heal mode)
    ` Mana Pet		` Mana Pet
    1 Mind Blast		1 Holy Fire
    2 Shadow Word: Pain	2 Smite
    3 Mind Flay		3 Mana Burn
    4 Power Word: Shield	4 Power Word: Shield
    5 Vampiric Embrace		5 Renew
    6 Vampiric Touch		6 Flash Heal
    7 Shadow Word: Death	7 Greater Heal
    8 Psychic Scream		8 Psychic Scream
    9 Silence			9 Silence
    0 Dispel Magic Me/Them	0 Dispel Magic
    - Dispel Magic on Focus	- Dispel Magic on Focus
    = Health Stone		= Health Stone
    
    (and then the rest of the stuff: mounts, potions, perception, cure disease, etc, etc... pretty much static buttons and all that)

    I've got bar swapping on between the two forms, so when I dip in and out of Shadowform, my buttons never move or jumble or anything like that. And obviously I have all the 'still useful out of Shadowform' spells loaded up, and I have 'healing' stuff swapped out in places when I'm out of it. I also have Holy Fire, Smite, and Mana Burn on there in case my Shadow school gets locked out. I like the setup a lot and have been using it for 40 levels or so.

    But I'm even more in love with it now that its tweaked with focus: I set my partner as my focus for 2v2 at the beginning of a play session and...

    Buttons 4, 5, 6, and 7 are set to target Me with either a left click/normal key press OR shield my Focus with either a CTRL + key press/right-click.

    Button 0 is set to Dispel my current mouseover or last target I moused over with nothing targeted, my Target with a left-click, and me with a right-click.

    Button - is set to Dispel Magic on my Focus.

    /em takes a deep breath.

    So, with all of that setup, and using Pitbull as my Focus frame, I've got my teammate HP/Mana visible at the top and center of my screen, and as soon as any kind of debuff hits him, very large and prominent debuff icons are displayed. I cleanse very fast and Warlocks/Mages hate me a lot. There are sooo many magic debuffs it absurd.

    I've also got a buff castsequence that goes: Power Fortitude, Shadow Protection (both on my Focus), Power Fortitude, Shadow Protection, Inner Fire, Prayer of Healing, Shadowform, Power Word: Shield. So at the start of the match I just tap that key 7 times, and then a few seconds before the match, # 8 is the shield.

    Oh, I forgot to add.

    The Warlock I arena with? He picks up the focus fire target I call out and his entire bar is macroed and looks like this:

    Left-click/normal key press Agony on his Target OR Right-click/CTRL + key press Agony on his Focus
    Left-click/normal key press Corruption on his Target OR Right-click/CTRL + key press Corruption on his Focus
    Left-click/normal key press Immolate on his Target OR Right-click/CTRL + key press Immolate on his Focus
    ...
    and on and on and on.

    So once he sets his Focus, he can keep his target on one guy and right click or CTRL press any button he has to to repeatedly fear/skillcoil/DoT his focus target. He even controls his pet with the same type of setup.

    As far as good arena mods go, I like SSPVP (although it almost has to many features) and Arena Master at the moment. AM is kinda fugly though, after seeing Pitbull's rendering.

    Editing to add: apparently, nirvana is this (per the Warlock): when you turn to deal with an enemy that's your focus and begin to fire off spells without clicking or mousing over them, and when your main clicked target dies, and you work on the 2nd guy, again, just off your focus keys/clicks alone, not even bothering to target him.

    Any idea why this macro:
    /cast [target=mouseover] Dispel Magic(Rank 2)

    does absolutely nothing? It will work, but only if my mouse isn't over anyone. My healing macros are the same and they work fine.
