It's a bug with the Auto Attack/ Auto Shoot option.
There are a few fixes to that.
1. Turn off Auto Attack/Auto Shoot and put the line /cast !Auto Shot back into your macro (3:2)
2. Keep AA/AS turned on, and use the macro:
showtooltip
Steady Shot
/stopmacro
/stopmacro [target=target, noharm]
/cast Steady Shot
Personally, I prefer the first option, since it takes up fewer characters in your macro, giving you room to add in all the SFX and Error frame fixes while also letting
you use a /click line to trigger another macro.

The focus system isn't new. It's been around since 2.0. All they did in 3.0 was add in an option in the character frame so you don't have to select the person and type in /focus target.

I'm sorry. But had the same thing happen--my pet was
on passive so it's not related to that, I think it probably is just when you use a special attack, I've had it happen on my little warrior too (but it sucks for hunters, because we have quite an auto-attack range >.<)

Growl Gargle gargle Scratch back Eat Salmon grunt snort DanceIf you don't have a target and you try to use a special it will sometimes target another mob and then the autoshot will go off as well. Other then that it would probably be some sort of bug. I haven't noticed any problems though.-you'll
always be stupid, you'll just be stupid with more information in your brain.

shot at a target that was not targeted.
This does not happen all the time, but happens 4 times within two hours while I was farming mats. I never had this problem before the new patch.
