The function is very useful for healing classes and crowd control classes that need to keep track of a player or mob while casting spells on someone else.įocusing is usually done through macros. It is also possible to bind keys to the set focus and target focus functions. A player must first acquire a character (player, mob or otherwise) as the focus, often through a macro. Note that actions cannot be performed directly on the focus. The default UI provides a unit frame for the Focus as of recent patches. Furthermore, the user interface supplies full real-time updates for the currently stored focus, including health and mana updates and enemy casting bars. The focus is a sort of "target memory" meaning that the focus can be set then recalled with simple macro commands. A focus target is a secondary target system, used to keep track of a second unit other than the currently targeted unit.
