Calvo's F.A.I.R - Focus & Announce Interrupt Responsibility

Calvo's F.A.I.R. (Focus & Announce Interrupt Responsibility)

Take control of crucial interrupts and clearly communicate your intentions with Calvo's F.A.I.R.! This addon is designed for players who want to proactively manage their interrupt assignments and keep their party or raid informed with a quick, simple action. It's a great tool for personal accountability, working alongside or independently of automatic marking systems.

What it Does: Calvo's F.A.I.R. (Focus & Announce Interrupt Responsibility) helps you instantly set a unit as your focus target and announce to your group that you are taking personal responsibility for interrupting that specific mob, especially for its "important casts."

Core Features:

• Instant Focus & Assignment: Set your focus and "claim" interrupt duty on a target with a single click.
• Clear Communication: Automatically broadcasts a message to your Party or Raid chat, stating your interrupt target and your commitment.
• Existing Marker Integration: If the target already has a raid marker (e.g., Skull, Cross), that marker's icon will be included in your announcement, making it easy for teammates to identify the target.
• Player-Driven Coordination: Unlike fully automatic marking tools (like some WeakAuras that assign marks based on priority casts), Calvo's F.A.I.R. empowers you to decide which target you'll cover and communicate that choice. This makes it an excellent companion to such tools, allowing you to manually pick up specific assignments or for situations requiring explicit player-driven coordination.

How to Use:

• Simply Shift + Left Click on any standard unit frame (Player, Target, Party members, Boss frames, etc.) or directly on a character/NPC model in the game world (mouseover).
• The addon will then:
  1. Set the selected unit as your focus.
  2. Send your announcement to the appropriate chat channel (Party or Raid).
  3. You can combine with macros like /cast [@focus, exists, harm] Counterspell; Counterspell to cast interrupt directly on your focus target.

Example Announcement Message: My interrupt target: [Target Name] {rtX}. I'm watching for the important casts! (Where [Target Name] is the name of your focus and {rtX} is the icon of any existing raid marker.)

Important Notes:

• Manual Responsibility, Not Auto-Marking: Calvo's F.A.I.R. is about your decision to take an interrupt and clearly communicate it. It does not automatically select targets or assign new raid markers based on priority casts (like some sophisticated WeakAuras might). It focuses on the communication of your personal assignment.
• Fixed Keybind: The activation is currently set to Shift + Left Click.

Why use Calvo's F.A.I.R.?

• Proactive Interrupt Management: Take initiative and clearly signal your interrupt assignments to your team.
• Enhanced Team Awareness: Keeps your group informed, reducing missed interrupts and dangerous overlaps.
• Complements Auto-Marking Systems: Works great alongside tools like priority cast markers (e.g., Mythic+ Auto Marker WeakAuras). Use F.A.I.R. to manually claim responsibility for one of those marked targets or any other mob you deem critical.
• Simple & Lightweight: No complex configuration; just one intuitive action to improve group play.
