Focused! Version 1.0.16 - Focus Roster Update for the Classic Hardcore Focus Frame!
Hey all,
I’ve just finished preparing Focused! v1.0.16, which is probably the biggest update to the addon so far.
For anyone unfamiliar, Focused! is a Classic Era addon that rebuilds a focus-frame style workflow for Classic, where the normal /focus system is not available. It provides a customizable focus frame, target-of-focus display, castbars, aura tracking, raid marker support, Clique compatibility, and class-specific CC / interrupt macros.
The headline feature in this release is the new Focus Roster.
The Focus Roster is an optional tactical roster window that tracks recently seen units from your target, mouseover, party/raid targets, combat log activity, and shared/adopted focus data. The idea is to give players a lightweight pre-pull planning board, especially useful in dungeons, Hardcore, world PvP, and any situation where target control matters.
What the Focus Roster can show:
- enemies, friendlies, players, NPCs, pets, and minions
- raid markers
- faction icons
- class icons
- level difficulty coloring
- duplicate-name counters
- live health bars
- optional power bars
- live roster count
You can click roster rows to prepare or switch focus, customize the roster window size/scale/opacity, collapse it, lock it, grow it upward or downward, and reopen it quickly from the focus frame menu.
Because this is Classic and Blizzard’s combat lockdown rules still apply, the addon handles combat carefully. Units seen before combat can be interacted with through pre-created secure roster rows. Units first discovered during combat are still shown and tracked visually, but their secure clicks unlock after combat ends. If focus changes during combat through the roster or focus sync, the focus frame can update visually, while generated class macros refresh safely after combat.
This release also includes a large stability and polish pass:
- improved combat-lockdown handling
- safer focus clearing and frame dragging
- fixed Target Focus macro fallback behavior
- fixed modifier + mouseover macro ordering
- fixed stale threat/aggro visuals after death or focus clearing
- fixed profile switching between Classic and Modern layouts
- fixed Options window resize/reset behavior
- improved Auto-Mark and aura matching with spell ID support
- updated localization strings across supported clients
A note for expectations: generated class macros are still bound by Blizzard’s secure macro rules. If your focus changes during combat through roster/sync, the frame can visually update immediately, but the macro book versions update after combat.
This has been tested heavily during development, but v1.0.16 is a big update, so bug reports and feedback are very welcome, especially around group/party use, Hardcore dungeon pulls, roster behavior, and focus sync/adoption.

Thanks to everyone who has tested, reported bugs, and suggested ideas. This update started as a stabilization pass and turned into a much more powerful focus planning tool than I originally expected.
