'Focus' is a [[UnitId]] newly available in WoW 2.0 which provides for a means for macros (and addons under keyboard/mouse control) to 'remember' some other [[UnitId]]. Unit frame addons allow a player to track the health and status of the focused unit while targeting other units. Macros can be written to cast spells on the focused unit. Moreover, click-style addons such as Clique can be used on the focus' unit frame as appropriate. These possibilities are the motivation for including focus management in macros. | 'Focus' is a [[UnitId]] newly available in WoW 2.0 which provides for a means for macros (and addons under keyboard/mouse control) to 'remember' some other [[UnitId]].
