Is there such a thing? / Make it if there isnt

Hey guys, im an arena junkie and i struggle with clicking in general in arenas.

Now i have gladius so usually when ever i target an enemy i target from there. Then other times i tab cycle. Now tab cycling is pretty unreliable. I have to go through pets, sometimes it doesnt target somebody bc there out of range, i dunno, or even worse, hunter summons snakes and i accidentally start cycling through 15+ snakes...
Now i do click on gladius when i have to but i would really prefer not to.

Maybe its possible to do this with a macro. But what im looking for is being able to target people in arena using the F keys.

For instance, you enter a 3's arena and go against priest mage rogue. Now there doesnt have to be a certain key for classes, like for instance F1 could be target hunter one arena then F1 could target a priest in the next. But it always targets the same person while in the arena.

So in 3's it would assign F1-3 to random enemy targets, regardless of their class. I would simply click all three and remember who is who.

I am NOT talking about teamates, im talking about enemy targets.



Now i dont no if you can this through a script, an addon, i dont no.



If theres something similar to this, that would be great, it doesnt have to be exactly like this, i just need an easier way to target enemies in an arena.

And no, i dont like mouseovers.

THANKS!

Well, the wowwiki macro API says you can use unitIDs in a /target macro, and arenaIDs were recently added to the list of valid unitIDs. So, I can't check this myself right now, but you can try making a macro mapped to F4-6 or whatever, that say

/target arena1

or arena2 or arena3, etc.

Let me know how it goes, please. I'm curious to find out.

That's the correct method, syntax is simple and to the point

all i did was bind the macro

"/target arena1"

to my f1 key, and it did not target anything.. any other ideas?

That should work... As confirmed here, that is a valid unit.
