Is This the Best Kick Macro in WoW Forever? — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00Most players assume that because WoW
2. 0:02Forever is classic, [music] you're stuck
3. 0:04using clunky legacy macros from 2004.
4. 0:07But, because the server runs on a modern
5. 0:10retail programming architecture, you can
6. 0:12actually build a snappy [music]
7. 0:14modern interrupt setup that executes
8. 0:16flawlessly. The macro leverages [music]
9. 0:19Blizzard's priority system for casting
10. 0:21mobs. If you're nearby a casting mob,
11. 0:24and your target is not casting, this
12. 0:26macro will auto swap to that target
13. 0:28[music] interrupt without losing your
14. 0:30main target.
15. 0:32There are a few caveats with this macro.
16. 0:34It mostly works best with melee classes,
17. 0:37but I have had success [music] with
18. 0:39range classes if you're close enough to
19. 0:41your target.
20. 0:43Now, to understand more,
21. 0:45here's how the macro works if you do not
22. 0:48have a focus target set.
23. 0:52Focus target. It saves whatever primary
24. 0:54boss or mob you're currently hitting, so
25. 0:57you don't lose your place.
26. 0:59Clear target.
27. 1:00It drops your current target. This step
28. 1:02is critical because it resets Blizzard's
29. 1:05tab targeting queue, forcing the game to
30. 1:07scan.
31. 1:09Target enemy. The game scans the pack.
32. 1:12Because of the built-in logic, it locks
33. 1:14into the closest casting mob. Your
34. 1:17interrupt. It fires your interrupt
35. 1:19instantly at the casting enemy.
36. 1:22Target focus and clear focus. It
37. 1:24immediately snaps your target frame back
38. 1:27to your original main target and wipes
39. 1:29the focus target.
40. 1:31Copy and paste the macro in the
41. 1:33description of the video below. Unless
42. 1:35you're a rogue, when creating the macro,
43. 1:37be sure to replace all of the kick
44. 1:39abilities with [music] your class
45. 1:41interrupt ability.
