Description

Prioritizing targets during Lady Deathwhisper doesn't work that well with macros. If the first target in the macro was up, but had Shroud of the Occult on it, then it wouldn't go to the next target. Tabbing through the targets didn't help either.

So, I wrote an addon to try to help with the targeting. The premise behind it is that you have a list of targets you are interested in. These targets are listed in the order you want to kill them. You can check all the targets to see if they have any buffs on them that would make them a bad target and then you'd click the first target in the list that was a good target.

Please note this is my first attempt at writing an addon, so if you have suggestions, please pass them my way and I'll see if I can improve this.

Limitations

  • Clicking a square sets your target to the listed mob if possible. Usual rules apply - if it's not up, you can't target it, if there are more than one, it should pick the first/closest.
  • It is not possible to do a range check on a mob unless you are targeting it. I wanted to add this feature, but blizzard won't let you do it without a target, and even then it's mostly a guess (see the Range Display addon).
  • It is not possible to check the mobs for buffs AND target them in code. You can only do one or the other. Again this is a Blizzard limitation to prevent botting.

In the works

  • Currently no ability to edit/customize the lists. Will work on this in a future release.
