Also works for Tricks of the Trade and Innervate (targets healers)
Normally, a macro can target a specific unit. With this limitation, Misdirection macros usually require the hunter to focus a tank. TankMD adds an invisible button that updates automatically to the tank (or one of the tanks, if there are multiple).
Usage
The addon creates two hidden buttons, MisdirectTankButton and MisdirectTank2Button for the first and second tank sorted alphabetically. They can be accessed through two options.
Option 1
Make a macro to click the invisible button that this addon adds:
#showtooltip Misdirection
/click MisdirectTankButton
This macro can be placed on your bars and will always misdirect to a tank when the addon is enabled.
Option 2
In Game Menu → Key Bindings → AddOns, a key binding can be assigned to "Misdirect to Tank".
Works for rogues(tricks) and druid (innervate on healer) aswell. Why is this not in the description? :)
In reply to gaulitz:
Thanks for the reminder. I forgot to update the description.
ANy chance for an 8.2 update?
Don't suppose it's possible to have this default to targeting your pet if you aren't in a party? tried adding the [group] conditional to the /click, but doesn't seem to work properly

I put a 2nd line in my macro:
/use [@target,help,nodead][@focus,help,nodead][@pet,nodead][]misdirection
the best misdirect addon in my opinion, very clean :)
one suggestion though, which is to make it work for rogue's Tricks of the Trade too
local _,class,_ = UnitClass("player") local spellname = "Misdirection" if(class == "ROGUE") then spellname = "Tricks of the Trade" end local frame = CreateFrame("Frame") frame.mdButton = CreateFrame("Button", "MisdirectTankButton", UIParent, "SecureActionButtonTemplate") frame.mdButton:SetAttribute("type", "spell") frame.mdButton:SetAttribute("spell", spellname)should do the trick :)
