    /cast [target=sclink] Misdirection

    /cast [target=mauiwowiie] Misdirection

    Less hassle, because your actual target will not swap even for a second (if you have "stop auto-attack" for target-swapping turned on, swapping physical targets will cancel auto-shot; the option is also good to have toggled, as Hunters seem to always ninja-pull by Tabbing or by auto-acquiring a target just as the previous trash pack has died).

    /cast [@Sclink,nodead] Misdirection
    /cast [@Mauiwowiie,nodead] Misdirection

  7. #7
    /use [@Sclink,nodead] Misdirection
    /use [@Mauiwowiie,nodead] Misdirection

    less letters

    Now you two are just parading your macro syntax skillz, hehe. But yes, the technically most optimal is the one presented by touche, who lives up to his account name in this thread.

    Code:
    #showtooltip [@Sclink, nodead][@Mauiwowiie,nodead][]Misdirection
    /cast [@Sclink, nodead][@Mauiwowiie,nodead]Misdirection
    Touche.

    Except that he comes around 12 minutes after me and posts exactly the same thing.

    I might just be reading into it too much but I think he wants two different ones.

    Actually, it's not the same thing. It's two chracters less.

    Lol quick glance + late night = my bad. Didn't know you could use /use to cast a spell.

    Could add a modifier to the combined macro to allow easy selecting of which tank to MD.

    Code:
    #showtooltip Misdirection
    /use [@Sclink,nodead,mod:alt][@Mauiwowiie,nodead]Misdirection
    Holding Alt would cause MD to be used on Sclink, just pressing the macro would cast on Mauiwowiie.

    Could also use:
    Code:
    #showtooltip
    /cast [@Sclink,nodead,mod:alt][@Mauiwowiie,nodead][]Misdirection
    Which is the same as above but will MD your target if selected tank is dead or doesn't exist (allows you to use the same macro when in dungeons etc without the tanks)

    Or even:
    Code:
    #showtooltip
    /cast [@Sclink,nodead,mod:alt][@Mauiwowiie,nodead][@focus,help][]Misdirection
    Same as above but will cast on your focus if you have one, helpful if for example you're running a random dungeon and set the tank to focus.

    And finally:
    Code:
    #showtooltip
    /cast [mod:ctrl][@Sclink,nodead,mod:alt][@Mauiwowiie,nodead][@focus,help][]Misdirection
    Same as the above but holding Ctrl will override the macro completely to cast on target, handy for MDing to an unusual target, e.g. to a kiting DPS.

    May well be overcomplicating things, but I was bored and it took up a couple of minutes of my time.
