During certain boss encounters I use a macro for targeting specifice things. For example during Illhoof I use:
/target Demon Chains
to burn down the chains after a sacrifice. So to the questions. If I was to add this to my shot macro would it automatically target the chains when they are up and behave otherwise when down? Would this work for adds (curator for example) so you could DPS boss and target adds when they exist? Would it work if multiple adds were up with the same name?
Thanks

Yes, it will. I use a similar macro. We covered this topic in detail several threads back . . . but I can't find it right now.
My macro is shown below. Once the chains are down, it'll switch me back to Illhoof.
/target demon chains
/cast steady shot
/cast !autoshot
/target terestian
I think it was NorthAI that provided a great suggestion to combine all the special boss macros into one slightly bigger one in that prior thread. There's a couple other fights where one needs to switch quickly to adds and switch back. The pure energies that Vexxalus spawns in Magister's Terrace are another example of adds that need to be killed quickly. The macro can be modified to include these without interfering with its fuctionality with the other bosses. It gets modified as shown below. You can keep adding to it.
/target demon chains
/target pure energy
/cast steady shot
/cast !autoshot
/target Terestian Illhoof
/target Vexallus

Thanks, this will help in alot of places. I just wasn't sure if it would interfere with the macro and didn't want to test it while doing a difficult (for us) boss. I didn't see the previous thread or it was before my time (fairly new 70 compared to most of you).
what works better is just putting a /target [exists] demon chains.
That will do nothing until you have the target and then switch to it. If you don't have the exists part you'll sometimes untarget the original target. It's doesn't always happen, and I can't figure out what's doing it, but the exists will completely eliminate the problem.
