Summary

Synchronizes personal focus markers and interrupt assignments across World of Warcraft dungeon parties.

Description

FocusSync

FocusSync helps dungeon groups coordinate focus targets and interrupts by assigning each interrupt-capable player a unique personal raid marker.

Every compatible client receives the same synchronized assignment. FocusSync only reports READY after all required players have acknowledged the current assignments.

Features

• Assigns a unique personal raid marker to every interrupt-capable player.
• Keeps assignments synchronized across the party.
• Detects interrupts available to the player’s active class and specialization.
• Treats healers with an available interrupt like normal interrupt players.
• Exempts healers without an available interrupt from marker assignments and READY requirements.
• Retains valid assignments when the party composition changes.
• Automatically elects a coordinator for group-wide synchronization.
• Displays missing, incompatible and exempt party members.
• Supports optional marker preferences and a configurable marker pool.
• Includes explanatory tooltips and hides coordinator-only controls from other players.

Focus marker macro

FocusSync creates a character-specific macro named FocusSync. Its icon follows your assigned raid marker.

The macro:

• Focuses a hostile, living mouseover target.
• Falls back to your current hostile target.
• Applies your assigned raid marker to the focus.
• Does not replace a raid marker already present on the target.
• Does not change your current target.

FocusSync never marks enemies automatically. The macro must be pressed by the player, as required by World of Warcraft’s protected-action system.

Interrupt macro

The optional Interrupt button creates a character-specific macro named FocusSyncKick.

FocusSync detects the interrupt currently available to your active class, specialization, talents and pet. The macro casts at a living hostile focus and otherwise falls back to the normal target.

The macro is updated after relevant specialization, talent, spellbook or pet changes.

Ready-check announcements

FocusSync can optionally announce the local player’s assignment when a ready check begins:

I am assigned to ~N for interrupts.

The feature is enabled by default and can be disabled in Settings. Available channels are:

• Party — default
• Instance
• Say

Only READY players with an interrupt assignment send a message. Exempt healers do not announce an assignment.

Group requirements

Every party member should have a compatible version of FocusSync installed. This allows the addon to determine interrupt eligibility and synchronize the same assignment state across the group.

A player who does not respond during discovery is treated as required and will prevent READY. This avoids incorrectly exempting a missing player.
