I'm having issues with Seduce, and keeping targets CC'd when it breaks early, while I DPS. Maybe I've missed some sort of in-game mechanic, but if not, what are people using to watch her target? I'd like to be able to switch targets and still watch for an early break. Dotimer is totally unrealiable. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Not sure how Focus targets work. Is that a solution?

I was looking for something similar, but I think a simple macro would suffice for me.

I believe this can be done by setting a /focus target. No I am not a warlock expert but looking through the wiki, I suspect you can set a /focus and ask your sac to perform seduce on it, without losing your combat target.

I've been manually managing it (via camera turning) for ages.

Then I started using /focus when it came out (bound it to a hotkey), and my sequence was start casting seduce, CoS the mob, and set it as my focus (my unit frames, aguf, show a focus window that is clickable). Then I could easily click to it when it broke.


Just a few days ago I finally broke down and started using a macro. It really feels like cheating, but it also really does make it easier to deal with the limitations of seduce. (Shaman friend to me the other night: "wait, so she doesn't automatically recast it when it breaks?")


I'm using this one, that I got from the blizzard forums (after fixing a small error with it), although I don't use the 'fear' stuff associated with it:


#showtooltip
/clearfocus [modifier:alt]
/focus [target=focus,noexists];[target=focus,dead]
/clearfocus [target=focus,help]
/cast [modifier:ctrl]Fear;
/cast [pet:succubus,target=focus,harm]Seduction;[target=focus,harm]Fear;[pet:succubus]Seduction;Fear


Bind it to a hotkey (or whatever) and you can just start spamming it when seduce is about to break or when you see it broken.

Scarily easy. (which is nice since I'm usually running with a rogue and elemental shaman, so do most of the crowd control.)

If you think using focus targeting in a CC macro is cheating, wait till you see mouseover targeting with Silencing Shot, Scatter Shot or Seduce.

I'm a big fan of click-casting Poly with a /focus; /cast Polymorph macro, and using a focus frame (Perl Classic has a seperate unitframe for the focus unit) to monitor status.
