Focus Kick Macros get especially strong when combined with sound queues via add-ons just like "FocusInterruptSounds". So you just focus your target via macro, get a sound on (whitelisted) casts, and use your Focus Kick Macro.
For me this is the cleanest set-up for never missing a kick, as sound queues are probably the next best thing to clean visuals in stressful situations! 😊
Nice tip, been using this for a while and it's super useful. I'm not sure if this is still the case but if you only have @focus in the macro and you want to kick something you're currently targeting but don't have it focused for something it's doing in the moment then it won't go off as far as I know. That's why I usually add the harm and nodead clauses in the macro as well for stuff that's attacking you and not dead. Really useful for those niche scenario's like I said when you don't have something focused but you want to interrupt what you're currently targeting (focus target though will always take priority if you have it on something).
Looks something like this: /cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] InterruptName
Thanks and keep up the good work man you're content is knowledge gold.
if you change it to:
/cast [@focus,exists] Kick; Kick
you can just keep it on your normal interupt button and will only cast it at focus if you have one.
This won't work well in situation where you have focus and needs to interrupt your target
@@nevrast-1 I add a @mouseover condition before focus for these scenarios.
@@Cerfpve Sounds awful, wouldnt it be easier to just add a modifier for focus?
I think it's better to separate your target kick from your focus kick in keybinds. Easy to get confused and accidentally kick your focus when you want to kick your target because your focus kick is the button you usually use to kick your target when you haven't set a focus. Don't make it needlessly complicated.
@@Craftee6 Depends how many spare keybinds you have
when starting out playing wow last month, this was one of the first things i got set up, and i made a weak aura that makes a sound whenever the focus target casts an interruptable spell and also if they have a purgeable magic effect. this helped me out a lot and the interrupting part is a breeze now
Focus Kick Macros help SO much! Good tip Quazii!
Love all the vids - finding your channel made me start tanking and you’ve been my go-to since! Would you ever consider adding an actions tracker to your ui so we can see your decision making during keys in stream?
Your videos are so helpful that they should be promoted on wowhead's front page everytime!
/cast[@focus] pummel; pummel
This macro will make it so that you kick focus target and if no target is focused it will kick current target. Helps a lil with the key bind bloat. Also i have my focus target set to scroll wheel up and shift+SW Up to zoom. With nothing targeted and sw up it clears the focus.
I like to have these 3 things:
1x normal kick actionbutton
1x /focus [@mouseover, exists][] - This let's me set my focustarget. It takes my mouseover - and if that doesn't extist, it sets my target as my focus.
1x /cast [@focus, exists] [@mouseover] Kick - This let's me kick my focustarget. If none exists, it takes my mouseover instead. I think mouseover kicks are really good in pugs where you don't assign kicks.
Thanks and High Five
god loves you
Great video as always, bro!
For your interrupts, you can actually just put in all the conditions into a one button interrupt macro without modifiers.
#showtooltip
/Cast [@focus, harm, nodead] kick
/Cast [@mouseover, exists] kick
/Cast kick
Macro will cycle through all those conditions according to hierarchy, and will execute on whichever condition is true.
I personally use this, because I want to still have the possibility to interrupt any target I might have, with a focus set. "/use [nomod,@focus,harm,nodead][] Counter Shot"
It will:
Friendly focus or No focus --> Interrupt Target.
Enemy Focus --> Interrupt Focus or Target with any modifier pressed.
nice one.
I do combine this with a macro telling the via group chat which target I'm focus kicking. Not ideal for mobs which require 2 kicks in a too short time frame, but it provides at least the hint for the others
If the target has a marker icon, is there a way to put that in the macro script that posts to chat? That could be a great easy way to differentiate in a whole pack of casters. Please let me know, anyone
@@Devin1986 here you go
/focus
/script name = UnitName("target");msg="I'll kick '"..name.."'"; icon=GetRaidTargetIndex("target"); if(icon) then msg = msg.." {rt"..icon.."}";end;SendChatMessage(msg, "PARTY");
@@Elvenbane1520 I think there is a miscommunication. I was looking for a macro to announce ahead of time which marker I would be kicking. So people could kick others. Etc
You are the man....thank you!!!!
As a resto druid main, I have one that puts me in cat and casts skull bash.. and if there is no focus then it interrupts my current target.
but having it as a [@focus, exists] macro made me have to make it like: "/cast [@focus, exists] Skull Bash; Skull Bash"
full macro is:
#showtooltip Skull Bash
/use [noform:2/2]Cat Form
/use [@focus, exists] Skull Bash; Skull Bash
If anyone wanted to know
/use [@focus,harm][]Skull Bash
Using Empty brackets is "follow normal rules" so don't need to write it out twice
@@KonungrRestingBlade I see, learning new things every day.
Thanks.
@@DKDABU Also, if you accidentally focus a friendly target the ,exist conditional will still be met and your interrupt won't work, so using ,harm is better. The only time you want to use ,exist is for abilities that can target both friend and foe, like Wild Charge. Otherwise use ,harm or ,help
@@KonungrRestingBlade The same could be said for the main point of the video, having a focus kick macro will not work if you focus a friendly target..
I also usually don't set my friendly players as focus, got a focus on mouseover macro, and only enemy nameplates, so I'm set for that part atleast.
But I guess my macro could be set to "focus, harm" and fix that issue, usually not something I'm worried about..
But I get the point 👍
I don't think that's the most you can do with a focus macro. First of all, you can do something like /cast [@focus, mod:shift] Pummel; Pummel to have both kicks on the same action bar slot (shift + button will kick the focus, button by itself will kick the target). However, even though I don't use it myself it is possible to do something like /cast [@focus,exists,nodead] Pummel; Pummel which should kick the focus when you have one and kick the target if you don't have focus and you don't have to have 2 keybinds.
I also use a focusing macro so when I mouseover something I focus that unit, when I don't mouseover anything I focus my target and when I click shift+button I clear focus.
/focus [@mouseover,nodead,exists]; [@target,exists];
/clearfocus [mod:shift]
You can also clear focus by just having no target or mouseover and hitting it again.
You can just have interrupt on e and focus macro on shift e. The only difference is you use one more button on the action bar, but there are plenty, so that's never an issue.
Tbh, I don't have any macros or hotkeys right now. Just number keys/clicking/tab targeting/etc. Keep wanting to figure out a set-up, but it always seems like it'll take awhile to both find/make them and change my muscle memory.
I have misdirection to my focus target . How would you recommend I go about having easy MD on tank and still become better at interrupting a specific mob?
Currently i have a mouse over (and if not: current target) kick macro. Works "fine" but I'd be interested in feedback
Churpie has a weak aura that auto recognizes the tank. He uses it for ToT, but im sure you could repurpose that for MD. I actually had the same thing until today
@@jeremychevalier5831 i Erik look into it. Thanks for advice!
@@JKS_Crafting correction: it looks like it is just one he uses, but there is a newer version as well as setup instructions on wago. I believe it is called autotankmisdirect.
i'm using /cast [mod:alt][@mouseover,harm,nodead][@focus,harm,nodead][]Kick
The logic is - if i'm holding alt i always kick my target when i need to override all other conditions, if i bothered to mouseover something hostile alive it goes there. then if i cared to set a focus on an enemy (nodead is not required usually but just to be sure) and if nothing above then just kick my target

Been using your plater profile since the beginning of DF and still love it. The only thing that hinders me is that the pink caster color overwrites my 'lost aggro' color. So instead of turning red they stay pink.
Currently I have it set up so that the border turns red when I lose aggro on a caster, but on your website where you get the profile it says: "overwrites the ‘pink’ caster color-coding, if you do not have aggro on the casters". This does not seem to be working for me. Is there something I can do about this?
Download my latest plater profile from website - now the casters you lose Agro on turns from link to red (:
Quazi here doing the lords work, as rough as this season has been with the amount of interrupts and ccs its just a way of teaching people how to have smoother runs if you play your part in interrupts
Well if u are not New player and focus intetrupt is eureka thingy its time to go diablo games
I use this macro
#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift,@target,harm,nodead] Disrupt
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead] [@focus,harm,nodead] [] Disrupt
It works for the first condition that is true. If i have a mouseover target it will kick that, if not it will check for a Focus target to kick. If i dont have any of that it will kick my current target.
I also put a modifier so when pressing shift it will kick my current target even if i got a focus or mouseover.
Find it nice since i can then use 1 button for any kick i want to do. Just replace the Disrupt with your classes kick spell.
I dont undertsand how does it know which targeting is casting and how to kick it?
If im attacking mob A, and a different mob is casting dont i need to tab to that mob and interupt?
You're fighting mob A, and you set mob B as your focus. The macro targets your focus.
I dont understand though. Do you have to click a different add in each mob and set it to your focus for this macro to work?
i guess youve figured this out already, this comment is for other people with the same question.
you could make a mouseover macro to set a new focus with "
Why all this work when simple mouseover interupt works flawlessly?
Personally, I play with mouseover on all my spells so If I need to kick something I'm not targeting I just put my mouse over the nameplate and use my kick, no need to click. It's good for pugs that don't do kick assignments. Only works if you have a decent UI for nameplates tho because the base blizzard interface is garbage for this.
easy stuff for glads who adventure in some pve! Doing it since first time ive jumped in cause its actaully the easiest way to even track diferent skills that same add uses, so you dont miss with wrong skill on the right target.
Now we just need a maco button to make your main target also your focus target so you can then tab off without having to mouse over the unit and manually press create focus.
never fear hombre!
just use the following macro. I have it set to a spare mouse button. It sets focus on mouseover so no need to click or tab or any of that fancy jazz and if you hit the macro again while not hovering your mouse over a target it will cancel your focus target, if you hit it again while hovering over a different target it will make that your focus target. Mind you i don't actually use the shift modifier to deselect my focus, i just found that without the modifier there it will not let me click on an empty space and deselect my focus. it's weird that way
/clearfocus [modifier:shift]
/focus [@mouseover,exists,nodead] []
I then use the following one button macro for my kick, grips, stun, taunt etc (i play dk). it allows you to mouse over and interrupt or interrupt your focus, or just your target
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,harm][@focus,exists,nodead,harm][]Mind Freeze
Caveats to using this one button macro is the priority. Mouse over has priority, so even if you have a focus target, if you hit your kick button while mousing over a different target, it will kick the mouse over instead of the focus (easiest if you have a focus dont hover your mouse over the bunch of mobs). then focus has priority over target.
It takes a bit of getting used to, but the combination of macros allows you to quickly set and reset focus targets and kick a plethora of mobs with only 2 keys. If you pug a lot and play a class with alot of stops and kicks these are almost mandatory imo
Leroy you sir are the man! Ty very much for your time and comment.
if u ask any high M+ player or check their podcasts they always tell you to have 2 different keybinds for interrupts one for focus kick and one for target kick
preferably with no modifiers like shift or CTRL because it might fail you sometimes if u dont manage to press it properly or when ur moving and u have to interrupt
/use [@focus,harm][]Kick
Yeah my pug percentage of actual successful times runs has gone so far down that go into my pugs with the mindset of completion. Does anyone know where people or guilds recruit for mplus?p
What unit frame add on is that?
Elvui you can get my profile from Quazii.com
are you using elv ui?
Yes you can get my elvui profile for free as well - check the DF UI video in description
Hey man could you share your cursor it look so smooth.
Cursortrail addon
i was just using Mouseover cast, but than the problem is that i am losing my mouse in a big fight :D
My Version looks like this:
/cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Pummel
With no focus target you are still able to interrupt your current target
is it possible to combine a mouseover macro with this focus macro? I have the mouseover normally for my interrupts, but I want a macro that interrupts the focus if I set one.
Ofc.
/cast [@focus, exists, harm, nodead] KickAbilityName
/cast [@mouseover, exists] KickAbilityName
Should work.
Hi I prefer this setup as you can use your kick without having a focus target
#showtooltips
/cast [@focus, harm, nodead][] Wind Shear
and now... how to get pugs to kick their actual focus targets.. coming up in the next video
Just let others do kicks, easy
Typical pug
Wazzup quazi. Nice Interface. Are u playing with weakauras only and disabled bars? 😊
Yes weakauras and hidden actionbars
@@quaziiwow thx 4 answer mate. Was wondering why with blizz ui you cant hide actionbar 1.🥲
Still need bartender.
As absolutely basic as this seems to me, I forget that macro logic is often far more unknown and underutilized than I assume it is. I’ve used these types of macros since either TBC or WOTLK, so I often forget this isn’t common knowledge.
Teaching us noobs to play one minute at a time
i always have my focus on tank for misdirect :(
Google Smartmisdirect Weakaura
There's weakauras that automatically target your tank or pet, really handy. I'm using "Smart Misdirect Updated".
I use player names in macro for misdirect. A little bit annoying to copy name before every run, but it allows you to use focus frame for interrupts and cc which is way more important. You just right click on player, copy character name and paste it into macro /cast [target=name] Misdirection. If you have tank friend you play often just add more lines with their name and keep them forever and only change 1st line for pug tanks.
@@tommy4862 with Smartmisdirect you don't have to do any of this gymnastics it always goes on your tank
@@MrMuchashi nice, thanks
The following is a focus macro that allows you to kick your target, holding shift kicks the focus target. Modifier can be whatever you want it to be.
#showtooltip Pummel
/stopcasting
/cast [modifier: shift, @focus] Pummel
/cast [nomodifier, @target]Pummel
instructions not clear.
kicked the healer from the group. ;D
j/k
Honestly there is so mcuh that needs kicking in every pack thesedays that the times i think a focus macro is useful are kinda limited.
nothing new
#showtooltip
/cast [target=Focus,exists] Counterspell; Counterspell
also works as well, to keep your kick on 1 button, will kick your focus if focus exists, if not will kick/interrupt your current target
I use something similar but instead of only kicking focus, it will also kick the current target if no focus target is found:
#showtooltip
/cast [@focus, exists, harm] Kick; Kick
happy gaming
#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/clearfocus [@focus,dead][@focus,help]
/focus [@focus,noexists]
/use [@focus,harm,nodead][]SpellName
This will save you 1 button, as you can use the macro to set your focus and to interrupt.
If you want to set the focus pre-pull, just use it when you are out of range.
I use this for Hammer of Justice, Coil, and Stormbolt.
I use this one - #showtooltip Pummel
/cast [@focus, exists, harm] Pummel; [@target, harm] Pummel , cuz i am out of spare keybinds :D
#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift, @focus] Mind Freeze; Mind Freeze
