Arena Dynamic Targeting (ADT)

Overview

Arena Dynamic Targeting (ADT) is a lightweight yet powerful World of Warcraft addon built to make targeting in arena matches simple and effortless. It requires no setup—just install it and play.

ADT works by automatically scanning all of your macros (both general and character-specific). Whenever it detects special placeholders, it replaces them on the fly with the correct unit IDs (such as @arena1, @party2, etc.) when you enter an arena. Once the match ends, your macros are instantly restored to their original form.

Getting Started

No configuration is needed. Just create your macros in the standard WoW macro interface (/m) and use the placeholders below.

Enemy Placeholders

Use these for your arena opponents:

@adt_healer → Replaced with the enemy healer’s unit ID (e.g., @arena2).
@adt_dps1 → Replaced with the first enemy DPS’s unit ID.
@adt_dps2 → Replaced with the second enemy DPS’s unit ID.

Ally Placeholders

Use these for your teammates:

@adt_ally_healer → Replaced with your healer’s unit ID (e.g., @party1).
@adt_ally_dps1 → Replaced with your first DPS’s unit ID (e.g., @player).
@adt_ally_dps2 → Replaced with your second DPS’s unit ID (e.g., @party2).

Example Macro

Here’s an example macro using ADT placeholders:

#showtooltip Polymorph
/cast [mod:shift,@adt_healer] Polymorph
/cast [mod:ctrl,@adt_dps1] Polymorph
/cast [nomod,@target] Polymorph

When you enter the arena, ADT will automatically update this macro based on the actual roles. For example, if the enemy healer is arena2 and the first DPS is arena1, it will temporarily become:

#showtooltip Polymorph
/cast [mod:shift,@arena2] Polymorph
/cast [mod:ctrl,@arena1] Polymorph
/cast [nomod,@target] Polymorph

This way, you can keep your keybinds consistent across all matches without manually changing targets or focus.
