FAQ

Why should a Holy Priest use focus macros?

Focus macros allow you to maintain your current healing target while simultaneously casting spells on a different, designated focus target. This enhances your battlefield awareness and reaction time for critical utility spells.

How do I set a focus target?

To set a focus target, right-click on a unit frame (player, enemy, boss) and select 'Set Focus'. You can also create a keybind for 'Set Focus Target' in the Keybindings menu.

Can I use focus macros for healing spells?

While primarily used for utility, you can adapt focus macros for healing spells by changing the conditional to [@focus,help,nodead]. However, it's often more efficient to use mouseover macros for direct healing.
