    Identifying target

    I have recently got a new computer which has better graphics etc etc its lovely decent FPS the whole lot.
    However the new graphics have made it really hard to see what target I am on nowadays and what with the size of a Tauren at the best of time.

    So I am just wondering if any of you guys know of a mod that makes the current target light up or get an arrow or something so i can tell which mob I have tabbed too.
    Because I find in 25 man raids with a lot of melee and a lot of mobs its hard to work out quite which mob you are targetting.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    If you're the tank use skull, cross, circle etc.

    If you're a DPS put the tank on focus target and hit what she/he is or download main assist and target what she/he is.

    Just realised I'm in the shaman thread, ignore the first comment ;-)

    You guys are missing the point.
    I mean in a raid where I am not promoted.... Also V bars only work if theres not loads of people in the area otherwise it just clutters the screen with crap.

    I want the current target to change colour or light up or something so when I tab, I know which one I am targetting but I guess this isnt possible so nevermind.

    Never tried V Bars so this might do the same, but I use Aloft and it works nicely to put healthbars above the mob. Also the bar highlights when you target that mob. Unfort there is a crap ton of bar clutter on say Ony's whelps or something like that.

    Make a macro for your main ability (stormstrike or w/e)

    /#showtooltip Stormstrike
    /target focus
    /assist
    (there may be a way to simplify those 2 lines)
    /startattack
    /cast Stormstrike

    OR

    You could just use your brain. Not everything is a hack 'n slash Zelda game. Your tank should be marking.

    I wouldn't put assist in a casting macro, you might lose the person you're assisting or they might need to choose a different target. Instead, you can make the person you're assisting be your focus then make a macro to assist them:

    /assist focus

    Also, if you can get them to mark the current target that's always really nice, especially if your MA is a gnome and you can't ever find him.

    /script SetRaidTarget("target", 8);

    (puts a skull on the current target)
