Beau's 19 Hunter Guide

Lets say you have stopcast on all your abilities



why would having a focus modifier on individual abilities be better then a global focus modifier

First of all, I do not know what a "global focus modifier" is. The way I have my macros set up has worked for me 100% of the time. If you want to do your macro set up some other way then that is fine. If you are asking me why I just do not have a "cancel spell key" and a "shift,ctrl or alt key" made for casting on my focus target then my awnser would be: because I like the way I have my macros set up. Finished.

basically having to readjust your muscle memory would be the most difficult part of changing to a focus modifier IMO as a lot of binds would conflict with the modifier.

BUT YOU NEED MUSCLE MEMORY FOR MAXIMUM GAINS BRO!

why on earth is PIZZA observing this thread? perhaps the apprentice (beau) is teaching the old dog a few tricks~!

no i dont think you understand



lets say all of your abilities have a stopcast macro assigned to them already- whats the difference between using the global focus modifier (i.e. the focus key-lets say shift) as opposed to using an individual shift modifier in every macro

There really isn't a reason, but I mentioned that there is a function in your interface section that allows you to set up a global focus modifier. I'v been doing it this way [forever] so its not like it matters.

Let's say alt is your global focus modifier

Let's say you're trying to condense keybinds using modifiers

i.e.



#show

/cast [nomod] sprint

/cast [mod:shift] lifeblood

/cast [mod:ctrl] evasion

/use [mod:alt] healing potion



the alt modifier won't work because it's already bound to global focus cast.



I find it much easier to just write focus cast into the macro as Beau showed, that way I avoid any unexpected macro failures when I rewrite them.
