Hello guys, i’m just asking if it is still impossible or there isn’t any addon that will help to target mob with skull mark. It would really help with targeting in some situtation, but i read that this kind of macro is impossible because of automation. Is it true?
There isn’t a way to select targets based on their icon. So no, you can’t really do that.
If there is a specific mob you can’t target you can always “/tar mobname” just be aware that isn’t always the one near you it’ll target.
You Can however make Macro like.
Taget a target start shooting if example hunters mark, sunder x5 etc.
Something like that, then just tap spam macro until it hit that target.
Close to what u want; u cant make the marcro getting told if “skull” are there, But harm effekt etc.
How to, you gotta learn to make Marcros.
This Will be a selfmade by you.
But that Will be possible, however u might need few script/runs etc. But would be possible.
Uh what, macros cannot be made to act differently depending on your own buffs so I doubt they can be made to care about the target’s debuffs either. Never seen such a macro.
If it is for dungeons/raids you can make a macro
/assist tankname
99% the tank will start by building threat on the skull

We Got ourself a clicker here!!
He don’t want addons either 
Could probably make use of the
GetRaidTargetIndex("unit");
API function, it returns an index ID, of which 8 corresponds to the skull.
You’d still have to cycle over every NPC in range until you found one, but it appears most of the hostle targeting functions are only runnable by protected code.
Funny thing is, I think for a long time in actual Vanilla WoW, stuff like this was possible (and people used addons like HealBot to fully automate healing).

Healing addons are different in that friendly targeting APIs are not protected, AddOns can enumerate through the raid/party members without needing to be signed by Blizzard.
You can use the assist key (by default f).
Imagine you target a mob that’s not the one the tank is targetting. If you press “f” once you’ll target its target, the tank. Press “f” again you’ll target the tank’s target. So as DPS you can press “f” twice in succession.
You can also make a macro where you target the tank and then use targettarget to… well, target its target. How to select the tank could be done by name or by party slot if they’re leading.
You could with vanilla api, and it was a great feature
In raid, just assist another Mage.
