About MisDirectionHelper2
Misdirection Helper 2
As of version 4.1.0.0 this addon is under management by Deepac. All credit to the original author, Gabriel.
- Intelligently creates and self modifies your misdirection / tricks of the trade macro for easy control of your misdirection / tricks of the trade ability.
- Unique LDB / minimap button tooltip that allows for quick misdirection / tricks of the trade assignments that auto adjust your macro on the fly.
Using Misdirection Helper 2
Set your misdirection / tricks of the trade target using either the LDB dropdown menu, or the dropdown menu from the minimap button. Misdirection Helper will create a macro in your character specific macros. Just drag this onto your action bar and use when required. If you change your misdirection / tricks of the trade target using the dropdown menu, the macro will automatically update.
From version 4.2.1.0 it is possible to set two targets. Left click on an option in the dropdown menu to set one target, right click on an option to set a second target (doing the same on Clear Target clears the relevant target). When you use the macro, left clicking will misdirect / tricks of the trade to the target set from the dropdown menu (left click), right clicking will target the target set from right clicking the dropdown menu. Holding down the shift key whilst clicking the macro should cause it to behave as though you had just click the standard misdirection / tricks of the trade icon on your action bar.
Please note that you cannot change your misdirection / tricks of the trade target during combat as addons are prevented from modifying macros unless your character is out of combat.
Data Broker
Misdirection helper includes Data Broker support. This provides one click access to the interface and right click access to a drop down menu.
NOTE: To see the Data Broker features, you will need to use a Data Broker Display addon, such as Bazooka, Button Bin, Fortress or Chocolate Bar.
All data broker options are also available via a minimap button.
Locales
Misdirection helper is currently localised for enUS, deDE, ruRU and frFR. If you would like to contribute to translating Misdirection helper, please use the following link:

Unfortunately, the most recent version has a bug where the macro icon disappears from the button. This happens on zoning. No amount of re-creating the macro will fix this.
Could you please raise this as a ticket here
http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/misdirectionhelper2/create-ticket/
Let me know what language client you are using as I'm not experiencing this problem on the English client. Thanks.

Since TyraMagicMacros and TyraMisdirect are broken and abandonen i was forced to get myself this addon. But what bothers me is that it only supports 1 Macro unlike Tyra's addons which have support for 10.
Any chance this can be added in the future? I'm really crippled when it comes to easy creation and target changing of my 3 Misdirection Macros.
also this error:

This should be fixed, along with the icon problem in 4.3.0.1
Thanks for the report.
looks like update is needed, I get no icon for macro, can't move it to bar then.
frFR locale translation updated and finished :)
Thanks (again
).
Could you please check them again as I've changed them so I can add the features requested by Minbaru and Blankstare2 below?
Job done !
A nice option would be to automatically select the pet if not in a group. After doing an instance you have to manually set it again as it remembers the tank from the group
