    focus interrupt macro

    ok im not sure if it is doable the way i want it to work, but ill give it a try

    my focus target needs to be interrupted, bud i want to dps another target (for example halfus+stormrider)
    so i tried
    /target Focustarget
    /cast Wind Shear
    /target lasttarget

    didnt really work tho.
    so is there a possibility to do that?

    And additionally, if i dont have a focus target (for example just 1 rnd mob, that casts) and i want to interrupt its cast, is it possible to use the same macro to interrupt that npc?

    so in short:
    if i have 1 mob, i want to use the macro as a normal interrupt
    if i have 2 mobs, i want to interrupt my focus target but dps my main target

    hope you can help me

    that is the worse way to do it...

    Just /focus the one you want to interrupt then use

    /cast [@focus] windshear

    or

    /cast [target=focus] windshear

    #showtooltip
    /cast [target=focus,exists,nodead] [] Pummel
    /cast [target=focus,exists,nodead] [] Shield Bash

    I personally use this macro.

    Will interrupt the focus target if I have a focus, if I dont have anything set on focus it will interrupt the target. (If your focus is out of range it wont interrupt anyone tho. But that shouldnt be happening in halfus anyway)

    EDIT: of course, you'd need to replace pummel with wind shear or any interrupt skill that you use.

    /cast [@focus, exists] Wind Shear; Wind Shear

    Will interrupt focus if it exists, target otherwise.

    im a personal fan of modifiers, i like something like

    /cast [@focus,mod:alt][target] pummel

    that way you can just pummel your target or if you want to switch the pummel to your focus just hold alt one button with two possible targets.
    You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish.

    #showtooltip Wind Shear

    /cast [mod:shift,target=mouseover,exists] Wind Shear

    /cast [mod:ctrl,target=focus,exists,harm,nodead][target=target] Wind Shear

    No mod: Wind Shear on target
    Mod = shift: Wind Shear on mouseover target
    Mod= ctrl: Wind Shear on Focus

    I use this for almost every CCing skills I have, hope this helps!

    both "harm" and "nodead" presuppose "exists", so you can remove exists from that 2nd macro. :-)
    Also, you can replace "target=" with "@", and combine the two lines you have in your macro.

    Code:
    #showtooltip
    /cast [mod:shift, @mouseover, harm, nodead][mod:ctrl, @focus, harm, nodead][] Wind Shear
    If SHIFT is down, casts on Mouseover. If CTRL is down, cast on Focus. Otherwise, cast following normal rules for the spell (in this case, would cast on target).

    I personally, don't worry about Mouseover, and this is my macro:
    Code:
    #showtooltip
    /cast [@focus, harm, nodead][] Wind Shear
    If Focus is a hostile target and isn't dead, cast Wind Shear on it. Otherwise, follow normal casting rules for the spell.

    Thanks for pointing this, really helpful

    #showtooltip

    is the best

    The OP doesn't say if he's an elemental or enhancement shaman, but as elemental, I find I have to include a /stopcasting command if I urgently need to interrupt, as wind shear won't cast mid-LB for example. This is what I would use as elemental:

    Code:
    #showtooltip
    /stopcasting
    /cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Wind Shear

    The issue in your macro was last line. Use command without splits to get it work. /targetlasttarget the only thing you missed

    i have this question for demon hunter consume magic.
    however i want this macro to work only on focus target, if there isnt one (out of range or nonexistant) i DONT want it to use on my current target as i have a separate keybind for my current target.

    is that possible ? thanks

    The macros in this thread will do, just remove the blank [] at the end.

    Also, this thread is almost six years old, previously necro'd last year. In the future, if you have an addon or macro question, use one of the sticky threads. If it's a difficult question that may cause a discussion or multiple replies, make a new thread.
