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).

Well now I did actually make some changes. Fixes to be exact. I hope this will fix some of the weird issues I've had.
Don't want to disappoint but there are no actual changes in this release. I just wanted it repackaged with newer libraries. Sorry. I do plan to freshen it up before or around 3.1 though.
Glad to see this updated, can't wait to give it a try. ^_^
I'm tanking a lot in our casual guild and I earlier been using raidmobmarker to be able to mark rather fast in instances like VH or if things go fubar but this one seemed even better!
But, ther's always one, isnt it, I have no idea how to configure it. tried it last night in nexus for example. we had 2 palas, 1 hunter and a mage with us thus using 3 different CC's and I never figured out how to assign marks etc... sure I hold down ALT and mouse over it spreads marks like crazy, but how can I set that for example casters should be sheeped etc.
oh, and one more question, our kill-order is always skull, cross, CC1, CC2 etc. is there anyway to on the fly change the order while fighting. IE, Skull is dead then Automark another mob as skull...
Feeling a bit noobish, but some kind of wiki, readme, MagicMarker4dummies etc would be great!
Add Pally CC = Repentance please and thanks!
- I've noticed strange behavior where marks aren't cleared when they should be (in the patch). I haven't been able to reliably reproduce it so I can fix it however.
- Gotten one report that prioritzation doesn't seem to work but I haven't noticed an issue with this myself.
- Issue noted in an earlier comment with crowd control marks not working correctly.
i'm in a 50 min queue to log into my server so i may as well read up on this mod as it looks to become the standard raid marker.
i was wondering if there is an option to whisper the raid member when something of theirs is marked. for example if a moon and a square are both cc targets one mage gets a "/w mage1 please keep the {square} sheeped" and the other gets a "/w mage2 please keep the {moon} sheeped" etc
I am hoping Ulduar will become less of a cakewalk and perhaps require some finesse in the trash clears again and that would be more of an incentive to fix it.
