That wouldn’t be focus, that would be target of target. What use is target of target to a healer or a CC caster?
Also, assist macros use focustarget, which is a run on unit ID, to target what the Main Assist (who has been set as focus) is doing. Otherwise everyone runs around with another player as their target.
And in the modern API you can make focus anyone you want, its player selected, but Blizzard defined, for security.
What I meant by right focus was the correct focus as defined by Blizzard.
Target of Target is just that, referring to what the target is aiming at. Focus is a seconday targeting frame for the player. You could create multiple in vanilla, Blizzard gave us just one in TBC.
Still doesn’t make the statement any less wrong.
Blizzard, in the modern infrastructure, defined focus ONLY as a specific target you selected, not target of target.
A brick wall, and evidently about as smart as one too. More likely, he’s simply a troll and he’s got a shtick and he’s sticking to it. I admire his tenacity, but he’s coming across as being about as thick skulled as his avatar.
He disagreed with Blizzard on some other decisions they’ve made, so he’s not a shill. Honestly, I’m probably closer to the “shill” label than he is. But that’s besides the point. He certainly cannot seem to realize when his train of logic has been completely derailed.
Mostly he’s an obstructionist, choosing the most unlikely or disagreeable position and then repeating it ad nauseum.
It’s true it was in Vanilla and since we’re going for a authentic experience I completely support this and hope it’s brought up soon by a blue post.
I feel that’s pretty insulting to brick walls, honestly.
A brick wall is useful and has purpose. It can protect property and people as well as visually define borders.
And you defined it incorrectly.
And they don’t need to implement it. It was not an official thing for Vanilla because it was exploited. Just because the API is there doesn’t mean it needs to be used. It was officially released in TBC. So if it was officially blocked in vanilla and didnt come until TBC then it still needs to be blocked and removed from Classic. That is the true definition of #nochanges not this manipulated persuasion some of you are arguing.
But it wasn’t.
It wasn’t removed “in vanilla”, It was removed in the TBC patch. All they did was switch methods of creating and utilizing it.
oh but it was
Oh but it wasn’t.
If you are just going to lie is there a point in you being here?
Focus targetting wasn’t exploited. Conditional Spell Casting was exploited. That’s why they changed the system to Secure Frames AND GAVE US FOCUS. They didn’t see focus as an issue, otherwise why would they recreate it? It was the spell selection, complex decision making, and multi-cast macros that they were trying to kill.
No, it most definitely was not. Proof, or shush.
It was allowed and tested in vanilla and officially endorsed in TBC, .
It was officially blocked in TBC, /focus was the official replacement when they did that.
Now we’re stuck in Classic where it remains “officially blocked” (even though it existed in 1.12) but with no replacement.
It wasn’t even blocked, they just changed how you created and accessed it.
