There used to be a really great addon called LuckyCharms:



It provided you with a bar that had all of the raid target icons for easier and quicker marking. Unfortunately, that addon is long gone so I've done the next best thing.

Simply unzip the attachment into your interface folder (such that you end up with World of Warcraft > Interface > Icons), and in your in-game macro menu you'll notice 8 new icons (4 of them are at the end, and the other 4 are in the middle between warrior and mage icons). Using these icons, you can create macros (about that below) for quick raid marking. Instead of looking for icons that kinda resemble the respective raid target icons like Squirrelnut (F1-F8 binds next to minimap) =P. The macro can then be dragged to your bar like such:



The macro:

/script SetRaidTarget("target",n);

Where the underscored "n" is substituted with

1 = Star
2 = Circle
3 = Diamond
4 = Triangle
5 = Moon
6 = Square
7 = X
8 = Skull

NOTE: You may experience a bug where it seems as though you cannot drag the button form the macro menu. Just continue dragging (even though the icon will not appear under your curser), and when you release above a button slot the macro will appear there.

Also, I don't know if something similar has bee uploaded, if so feel free to delete.

I really Like the Look of this and will try it out when I get home, I currently Use baudmark which is really effective, I'll check the difference later

Thanks for the Upload

Haha w00t for comparison with my UI for what not to do lawl. So these are simply for the raid icon macros that you use in the exact same manner but just do a better job of showing skull, x, star, etc in your action bar? Nice

EDIT: Though I will say mine are fairly close to the raid symbol and took a lot more creativity

I use an addon called Baud Mark, you bind a key to it, and when you press that key it will pop all the icons round your mouse cursor, all you need to do is click one. It's really efficient IMO.

[Squirrelnut]

As an extreme click hater I don't want to click ANYTHING and the speed at which I can mark targets with f1-f8 bound is very nice As such I would probably prefer these icons associated with macros over something like Baud Mark

[Magss]

You can bind raid marking in the keybinding menu by default. If you're making these macros solely for the purpose of binding it's quite a waste.

Personaly i use marks bound do ctrl+F1,F2 etc... keys. i find this usefull and provides an extreamly effective way to mark mid fight. However the addon itself is a good idea and i understand why people might prefer using this instead.

I did something very similar to this, except I made the macros utilize "mouseover" as the target argument like SetRaidTarget("mouseover",n). And I placed these on a "always hidden" bartenter bar and keybound each to a easy to hit (but not accidentally) key sequence. It really sped up my marking, especially marking during pulls in heroics since I could keep tanking and mark the next pull without changing targets.
