IMPORTANT
NPC Scan & NPC Scan Overlay are no longer viable addons for rare hunting. Instead I recommend using the addon silverdragon and using the target macro provided above.


Additional Notes: (From Curse)
_NPCScan & Silverdragon
Due to changes in how the game caches mobs in WoD, it is looking like _NPCScan will no longer be able to auto detect non-Vignette mobs. Due to this the only way to find pre-MoP rares via _NPCScan will be via mouse over or the new dynamic target macro keybind being added. The new keybind will trigger a /targetexact …” macro that updates with tracked mobs based on the zone you are currently in. Vignette mobs will still automatically trigger an alert when the mob gets in range, and should work more reliably due to updates to the Vignette API.
