Misdirect Helper is a small addon that simplifies using Misdirection for Hunters and Tricks of the Trade for Rogues
It is recommended to run /mdh once after installation with a friendly player being targeted to manually create the macro so you can drag it onto your action bar.
The Macro
#showtooltip Misdirection (Hunters) or Tricks of the Trade (Rogues)
/stopcasting /stopcasting
/use [@focus,help,nodead]Misdirection
/use [@misdirecttarget,nodead]Misdirection
/use [@pet,nodead]Misdirection
Macro Priority
- Misdirect to your current focus if set (friendly, not dead)
- Misdirect to your current misdirect target (not dead)
- Misdirect to your pet (not dead) *Hunter's only
If you want to override the macro, all you need to do is set your misdirect target to your focus by either:
- Right clicking on your misdirect targets frame and selecting 'Set Focus'
- Mousing over or targeting your misdirect target and using a macro e.g. /focus [@mouseover,exists][]
Please Note:
- If you set your focus to an object like a Warlock Gateway the macro will not work
Macro Creation
- Misdirect Helper will try and create the macro in one of your Character Specific Macro slots first
- If there are no free Character Specific Macro slots it will then try to create the macro in your General Macros (Account Wide)
- It is preferable to use one of your Character Specific Macro slots so it's suggested to free one first if this is the case
- This will reduce any issues when using the addon with multiple characters of the same class
Macro Name
- Rogues: MDH_Rogue
- Hunters: MDH_Hunter
** Please make sure that you do not already have a macro with the same name in your General Macros (Account Wide) or Character Specific Macros.
Mythic Plus Dungeons (Automatic Mode)
- At the start of a Mythic Plus Dungeon the addon will update your misdirect to the player who is assigned the party's Tank role.
Slash Commands (Manual Mode)
- /mdh = Updates your misdirect to you currently targeted friendly player
- /mdh help = Displays the in game help text
Mouseover (Manual Mode)
- Right click a friendly unit frame and select Assign Misdirect
It is recommended to create a macro for updating your misdirect (/mdh). You can then target your misdirect target and use the macro to update (out of combat).
Misdirect Helper Requirements
- Friendly Player Targeted (Manual Mode Only) = Does not update if you do not have a friendly player targeted
