MagicMarker
Addon Description
Magic Marker lets you easily classify and mark mobs simply by moving the mouse over them while pressing a modifier key. This allows incredibly fast marking of trash groups. Although not necessary for the addon to function, you can configure the priority and crowd control methods you wish to use on a per mob basis. You can also customize the marks to use for tank targets and each crowd control method. This allows for consistent marking of targets to tank and crowd control in raid and party situations
Features
- Mob-level configuration to specify the priority, desired category (i.e Tank or Crowd Control) and applicable crowd control methods.
- Automatically learns new crowd control methods as they are discovered.
- Prioritize raid icon configuration for tank targets and all crowd control methods.
- Prioritize crowd control methods.
- Separate priorities for crowd controlling and tanking (optional).
- Marks targets in priority order simply my mousing over them.
- Automatically learn about new mobs as you encounter them.
- Ability to unmark and mark targets manually at the press of a button.
- Ability to ignore mobs you don't want to mark.
- Never use more raid icons for a specific CC method than there are members of the class in the raid/party (i.e if there are two mages in the raid, there will never be more than 2 targets marked for sheeping).
- Option to honor externally marked targets (i.e if someone manually marked a target MagicMarker won't clobber it).
- Option to preserve marks on the raid members.
- Ability to save a template of the marks on the raid and recall them (not persistant).
- Ability to mark members of the raid based on some preset rules.
- Full fledged dynamically generated UI to configure all the details (while using minimal amount of memory).
- Network syncing for marking, unmarking and sharing of the mob database and mark/cc settings.
- Clears used marks when mob dies.
- Send a list of marks, mob name and kill/cc method to the raid / party chat channel.
- Keybindings to manipulate mob configuration (priorities, category) without opening the mob database, makes initial configuration and adjustments easier.
- Ability to select minimum number of mobs to always mark as tank targets.
- Ability to import data from MagicMarker_Data (included in the package).

Posted Dec 10, 2008This worked just fine pre-v3.0.2. Everything got marked, everything got marked intelligently.
With the newer version of MagicMarker, this isn't happening correctly any more. I have marks assigned to various CC types, but CC isn't being intelligently decided on on the fly. Everything I mouse over gets marked as if it were tank targets, even if, for example, I have something undead and I can shackle it. And yes, I checked the mob database for the appropriate dungeon and difficulty, and yes, it does know the target is shackleable.
The only visible bug I can see is what seems to be a floating button-type graphic that seems locked to a specific position on my screen when the options window is open. When I move the window, the button stays in place (and is only visible inside the window when either of the CC tabs are open to pulldowns).
What's going on, and how do I fix it?

Posted Jun 17, 2009The 'everything's being marked as tank, even in eight mob pulls with plenty of CC available in 25 man raids' issue is still around.

Posted Nov 12, 2008As for the setup it does need to be set up to work good. It will learn how mobs can be CC'd but still require you to change them as such - it doesn't necessarily change the initial trash learning difficulty, but makes repeat clears easier once it's trained. Even in large instances like Black Temple there really aren't THAT many different kind of mobs.
The auto-marking is a per-zone toggled feature - if you go into the mob database and look at the zone level functionality there's an option to mark on targeting. If it's on, just disable it and you should be good to go. It should not automatically mark things otherwise however.

Posted Nov 5, 2008when you hold the modifier down to mark it does it fine but sometimes notice how it doesnt mark sometimes? its because you have to clear the cache by holding alt+clicking on the MagicMarker fubar icon then it clears the cache and mark up again everytime it does it just clear the cache and ur good to go again I dunno what the problem is there.

Posted Oct 23, 2008Also, why is this now marking everything I target? It used to work where I'd hold down a button and move the mouse over targets to mark them, now it marks EVERYTHING attackable I target.

Posted Oct 23, 2008The minimap button, which comes from FuBar_MagicMarker, can be enabled in that addon using the dropdown menu (or should be able to enable it at least). Do you have FuBar or FuBar2Broker + an LDB displayer like ButtonBin installed?
As a note I plan to add LDB support to Magic Marker, deprecating MMFu. I'll also add a separate option to display a minimap button.
