Shirk macro

Is there a macro way to have shirk go off on focus target or the other tank

/ac "Shirk" <2>
Will use it on the person second on your pt list

/ac "Shirk" <tt>
Will cast on target of target which should be main tank
I don't remember the command for focus target.

Thanks, that'll work perfectly.

Very useful, saves me from clicking off. Another thank you from another tank!

The other tank will always be in a fixed position on your party list, so I don't really think there's ever a need to have anything other than an /ac Shirk <2> (or whatever position you set them up to be in on your list). I can't think of a need to shirk anyone other than the other tank that doesn't involve trolling and laughter. The <tt> and <focus> works in theory but I don't think they are needed; <tt> has the potential to go wrong if someone else somehow takes threat (or is the target of an ability) at the time you cast it without you realising it, and focus locks up your focus target.

For focus target:
/ac "Shirk" <f>

You can find the full list of targeting options for macros on the following page, under Placeholders:

I can see a use for <tt> on a shirk macro. While the party list us usually consists it is not always. If a tank drops and a new one you s for example they'll be in a different spot in the party list.

Easily fixed with /psort but a tt Macro would make that uneccessary

But what if the SAM rips hate? :p

On a more serious note though, a <tt> macro doesn't allow you to Shirk your co-tank and then Provoke back for additional aggro while you're main tanking (since you can't Shirk yourself).

You Shirk him and hope he learns to use Diversion.

Then don't shirk when Sam has hate. Your target bar shows what your target is targeting. Anyway I just dropped macros that would do what the op requested.
