Misdirection and Tricks of the Trade helper

Description

Mark of the Tank

Smart Misdirection & Tricks of the Trade macro helper


Overview

Mark of the Tank (MOTT) automatically builds and maintains a Misdirection or Tricks of the Trade macro so you never have to update it manually when your tank changes.

Use the minimap button to select your target. The addon updates your macro instantly.

When you join a group, MOTT detects the tank and switches automatically.
When you leave:

  • Hunter: Falls back to pet
  • Rogue: Keeps last selected target

All settings are saved per character.
