Focus was in Vanilla - Please Fix the API

It is definitely something they intentionally left out of classic.

They intentionally blocked it from classic too.

They were going to intentionaly have dire maul at launch. Blizzard makes mistakes.

They’re only mistakes when they go against the wishes of the people wanting otherwise.

Make sure you report it on the stress test or beta bug reports then if you feel it’s a bug that was left out. I think it’s all you can hope for at this point.

Who knows, they may fix it then.

Thankyou.
Unfortunately im not in the beta so I am posting about it on the forums in hope that they see it.
Im not arguing with the living brick walls for my health. It keeps the topic visible.

Let’s see.

With one keystroke, players could switch targets, cast the preselected spell and then switch targets again. Three actions with one keystroke sounds like automation to me.

The are you ready to demand they remove party ids mouse over macros and party macros? Because those all let you cast on a unit while keeping your target.

That’s what I was saying Fesz… I don’t know how people say that isn’t automation.

Had a multi-boxer tell me they 3rd party program that sent the 1 keystroke to 5 wow applications wasn’t automation either… smh.

All for it Freeish. Go ahead and keep asking for something obviously intentionally removed from the API. Hope it doesn’t work for ya.

Fully agree

You are literally asking for /script back by saying this, :rofl:

You can’t even troll correctly anymore

/cast [@targettarget,noharm] Healing Touch

Works in Classic. Does what you said. Blizzard Approved.

I remember another Lock and I spent hours making a focus/clear focus Seduce macro. Then reworked it for Banish and other skills. The one thing that is not clear was the timeline. For some reason I’m thinking it was done after the BC patch. So I can’t say if it was in the original game.

On the other hand we do have current raid frames and don’t see a problem with a current focus frame added without an addon. I kinda remember having to use an addon in BC to have a focus frame. Speaking of BC addons. I really hope these changes won’t break the Lifebloomer addon when BC is released in the future.

This is just my opinion and if allowing the current games focus frame in stock form without addons or scripts still breaks or allows unintended actions I’m not for it. I was never for the use of automation even though I thought it was was cool watching our Mage jump around in MC hitting one button to decurse.

Yet what you want isn’t… sounds like you just don’t agree with blizzards “mistake” as you called it. When referring to Maraudon… I mean dire maul

Blizzard: Please give us feedback and tell us where you think things are wrong.

This post: Feedback.

I do not multibox, nor do I defend it. Although I cannot prevent it, I do not condone the use of keycloning software.

Technically, though, there is a difference between “keycloning” software and the aforementioned macros.

“Keycloning” software sends a single keystroke to multiple copies of Wow (or other program). That single keystroke only performs one action in each of those clients. It’s like pressing the same key on multiple keyboards at the same time.

The macros the OP described perform multiple actions with one keystroke, though. That is vastly different.

(Yawn) just an FYI this guy is a multiboxer and wants to abuse the game. Very happy this isnt in the game. Glad you are mad.

I mean sure its different but still automation. I’d like to see one person press the same key on 5 keyboards at the same time.
