Thought I'd ask before I try it out.... Hey~ I have a question about your MD macro.

This one –> /cast [target=focus, exists] Misdirection, [target=pet, exists] Misdirection

When you cast this, would it immediately put MD on your focus even if it was about to die, or immediately on your pet? Thought I’d ask before I try it out….

It's a great pull shot at rank 1 and like most instant spells it is good for a spell cast interrupt, and of course it absolutely shines in PVP for putting them down after an intimidate before they can Pot, Heal, Bubble-Hearth, etc...

Does misdirection not work with the arcane damage? <br/><br/>I'm only level 41 so I have a bit of time before I have to deal with MD, bu would like to know My only question is why you would steady shot instead of arcane shot.

First, on your /focus unit if it is friendly. Second, on your current target if it is friendly. Third, on your pet if it is out. <br/><br/>I take no credit for this... just found it elsewhere. I also use it together with the following hunter's mark / set focus macro:<br/><br/>/cast [help] focus; Hunter's Mark I think there is an even better implementation of this macro:
