Misdirect Helper is a small addon that simplifies using Misdirection for Hunters and Tricks of the Trade for Rogues
Installation
Place the folder into `World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\Addons` as you would any other addon.
It is recommended to run /mdh once after installation with a friendly player being targeted to manually create the macro so you can drag it onto your action bar.
The Macro
Code:
#showtooltip Misdirection or Tricks of the Trade
/stopcasting
/stopcasting
/use [@focus,help,nodead]Misdirection
/use [@misdirectname,party,nodead]Misdirection
/use [@pet,nodead]Misdirection
Misdirect Priority- Misdirect to your current focus if set (friendly, not dead)
- Misdirect to your misdirect target (not dead)
- Misdirect to your pet (not dead) *Hunter's only
If you want to override the macro, all you need to do is set your misdirect target to your focus by either:- Right clicking on your misdirect targets frame and selecting 'Set Focus'
- Mousing over or targeting your misdirect target and using a macro e.g. /focus [@mouseover,exists][]
Please Note:- If you set your focus to an object like a Warlock Gateway the macro will not work
Macro Creation- Misdirect Helper will try and create the macro in one of your Character Specific Macro slots first
- If there are no free Character Specific Macro slots it will then try to create the macro in your General Macros (Account Wide)
- It is preferable to use one of your Character Specific Macro slots so it's suggested to free one first if this is the case
- This will reduce any issues when using the addon with multiple characters of the same class
Macro Name- Rogues: MDH_Rogue
- Hunters: MDH_Hunter
** Please make sure that you do not already have a macro with the same name in your General Macros (Account Wide) or Character Specific Macros.
Mythic Plus Dungeons (Automatic Mode)- At the start of a Mythic Plus Dungeon the addon will update your misdirect to the player who is assigned the party's Tank role.
Slash Commands (Manual Mode)- /mdh help = Displays the in game help text
- /mdh = Updates your misdirect if you are currently targeting a friendly player
Mouseover (Manual Mode)
- Right click a friendly unit frame and select Assign Misdirect
It is recommended to create a macro for assigning your misdirect target (/mdh). You can then target your misdirect target and use the macro to update the assigned misdirect (Out of combat only).
Misdirect Helper Requirements
- Friendly Player Targeted (Manual Mode) = Does not update if you do not have a friendly player targeted
- Out of Combat = Does not update if you are in combat
- Macro Frame Closed = Does not update if your macro addon frame is open
