    Hunter misdirect macro problem - help please!

    I wrote a macro to cast misdirect on my focus if I have one and if I don't cast it on my target. For some reason this macro doesn't work and yet it works great with other spells.

    /cast [target=focus, exists, help] Misdirection; Misdirection
    Beware, Overwatch consumes you!

    /cast [exists, nodead, help, @focus] Misdirection; [exists, nodead, help, @target] Misdirection; Misdirection

    /cast [target=meatshield] Misdirection casts on your tank
    or
    /cast [target=targettarget] Misdirection casts on your target's target (Tank)

    both just simply works better.
    True wisdom is to look beyond your own opinion.

    I wouldn't use a targettarget macro, it's potentially dangerous as some bosses/mobs target random raid members when using certain abilities.

    #showtooltip
    /cast [target=focus,help,exists,nodead][help] Misdirection

    this macro does exactly what you want and is even a bit shorter than Destard's even though I haven't bothered to start using @ signs yet.

    I have 1 macro for each of the tanks in the guild:P so the one i use is:

    /target tanks name
    /cast misdirection
    /targetalasttarget

    this is basicly because i can't have focus target cuz of x-perl, i don't know if that bug is uniqe to me:P

    /cast [target=focus,help] Misdirection; [target=pet,pet] Misdirection; Misdirection;
    /stopmacro [target=focus,noexists];

    this works like a charm... you focus the tank in your grp, if you dont it MDs your pet. So it works while soloing as well as 5 mans/raids
