What this does

Selects a nearby targetable enemy, stores it as focus target, and prints a private confirmation. It is a quick setup aid for an enemy you want to monitor before combat.

How to use

Run it once near the enemies and check the name in both the normal and focus-target panels. If the wrong enemy was chosen, select the correct one manually and reset focus.

Requirements

A targetable enemy must be nearby, and you must be able to verify that the intended enemy was selected.

  • Requires a valid target

Notes

Nearest does not mean encounter priority, and placement or facing can change the result. Macros cannot branch on a failed first line, so always verify the focus before pulling.
