Marking mobs

So you run the life of a tank and you want to speed things up..
So you put the skull, and star and circle marks on the mobs to represent who to target, sheep, sap etc..

Is there a way to do that via a macro?

Like say

/%t <put skull mark>
/cast Avenger's Shield
/raid Pulling %t

etc

Could you mark a mob via a macro?

Excellent thank you

A sub question, could you do that as a modifier, so perhaps you could add it only when you hold down shift? That way you could combine it with other macros.

I'd imagine so. I don't know the macro myself, but it seems possible with a [modifier:shift] added in somewhere.

Funstrider, Vashjina and Archilol can go diaf

would be nice to just use AS with holding shift so i dont cancel a skull marked mob when i use the makro.

You could always put the line at the end of your macro and add a stop macro line before it:

/cast Avenger's Shield
/stopmacro [mod:shift]
/script SetRaidTarget("target", n)

Still, I am more of a fan of using keybindings + number pad for my symbol marking rather than addons or macros.

I use something like this:


#showtooltip Seal of the Crusader
/cast [button:1] Judgement
/stopcasting
/cast Seal of the Crusader
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 8)


Used to also have:

/p Targeting %T

in there, but in the lower levels people object to it, and I'm leveling a new paladin right now.

I my tanking mark (usually skull) bound to my middle mouse button. Works exceptionally well for giving dps a single target focus target while I build AOE threat.

Sometimes I think I should mark every critter but the one I want DPS to attack - because quite often that's exactly how they play it.
