DIRTY TRICKS
================================================================================
An automatic macro-based redirect addon for World of Warcraft. Dynamically
creates and updates macros for Tricks of the Trade (Rogue) and Misdirection
(Hunter) that automatically target the current group's tank.
================================================================================
FEATURES
================================================================================
✓ Automatically detects tanks in raid or party
✓ Works with multiple tanks (adds conditional fallbacks)
✓ Works solo with hunter pets
✓ Updates in real-time as group composition changes
✓ Colored chat messages with class colors for tank names
✓ Announces tank selection when joining groups
✓ No secure frame restrictions—pure macro based
✓ Modern WoW API (compatible with current patches)
✓ ElvUI compatible dark theme for settings dialog
================================================================================
HOW IT WORKS
================================================================================
The addon creates two global macros:
- Dirty Tricks of the Trade — Automatically targets the tank in raid/party
- Dirty Misdirection — Automatically targets the tank in raid/party
These macros are dynamically updated whenever group composition changes, so
they always redirect to the appropriate tank (raid3, raid4, party1, pet, etc.)
================================================================================
USAGE
================================================================================
1. Load in WoW: Enable the addon in your add-ons list
2. Open settings: Type /dirtytricks to toggle the settings popup or click on the minimap button.
3. Configure:
- Toggle the addon on/off
- Enter a preferred tank name (optional) or leave blank for auto-detection
- Click OK to save
4. Find the macros: Open your macro list (Macros button in Game Menu)
5. Drag to action bar: Find "Dirty Tricks of the Trade" or
"Dirty Misdirection" and drag to your action bar
6. Use like normal: Click the macro or bind it to a key—it will always
redirect to your target
