Double focus

[Gabrielito-lightbringer]

Is it possible to focus on more than one enemy, like council fights?

Basically I want to focus on the one I taunt/aggro, but also keep a focus on an enemy I want to interrupt.

You can use Set Focus (option in Unit Menu opened by right-clicking) to keep an eye on one extra enemy, separate from the one you are targeting. You can create a macro to interrupt the foe you have as Focus by using the following script:

#showtooltip
/cast [@focus, exists, harm] <insert your class’s interrupt ability>; <insert your class’s interrupt ability>

This macro will check if you have any foe as Focus, then casts your interrupt on that foe. If there is no Focus, the interrupt will be used on your current target. This allows you to avoid separately targeting the enemy you need to interrupt each time. Pretty useful in Council of Blood.

For Mages for example, the macro will be written as follows:

#showtooltip
/cast [@focus, exists, harm] Counterspell; Counterspell

Thank you for the tip! Haven’t raided on this one yet, but tried Theater of Pain last night, and it would be hand on that first boss trio, but of course, any multiple boss fight, and even mob groups.

You can also set this by having the mob targetted and typing /focus

I actually have a /focus macro, just fell it difficult to switch.
