How do I set a focus target?
You can set a focus target by right-clicking on a unit frame (player, enemy, boss) and selecting 'Set Focus'. Alternatively, you can create a macro with '/focus' to quickly set your current target as focus.
Can I use focus macros for offensive spells?
Yes, many offensive spells can be cast on a focus target. This is particularly useful for applying debuffs or cleaving damage to a secondary target without changing your main target.
What's the benefit of focus macros over mouseover macros?
Focus macros are ideal for sustained interaction with a specific high-priority target that you don't want to lose track of. Mouseover macros are better for quick, one-off interactions with various targets as you cycle through them with your mouse.
