I am curious to see if anyone else is running into an issue setting focus in battlegrounds/raids? I get an error saying the addon is trying to access a forbidden path. (I will post the specific error message when I get home from work.)

Thanks for any help in advance.

Blizz recently disabled the right-clicking of 3rd party addon unit frames and buffs. Hopefully they undo this, but look at this solution:

Thanks! I guess I could have found that had I looked for 5 more minutes. 

I will give that a shot tonight.

Ok. Hope that works out for you. I find it to be a lot more efficient than the right-click, select-from-drop-down method.

It's nice for when you have to switch focus targets during a fight.

Yeah that worked really well last night!

 

I mapped the key to one of the extra buttons on my mouse and it works perfect! 

 

Thanks again for the heads up.

Just an extra as well, definitely set your keybind up so you can set your focus easy, then what I do is have a simple macro (when I say, I have it, I mean I stole it from Gar) that assists whatever my focus is targeting, you may already have this, but I know it has helped me out a lot too:

/assist Focus
/cast Hunter’s Mark
/petattack
/startattack

This throws up HMark on your tank's target, sends your pet in and starts your autoattack, as long as your tank is set as your focus you're good to go.
