Help with target macro

[tjgrindsted]

Hi im new for Jamba.

I cant get my slave to attact the same target as me.
Slave have set Focus on me and follow me.

I have set up Target 1 As Star, and when i do that i say
/targetexact #MOB#
/cast Sinister Strike
/targetlasttarget

And the i Attack the mobe, but my slave is just looking at me...

What do i do wrong.....

If your slave has you set as the focus, I think what you want instead is something like:

/assist [target=focus]
/cast Sinister Strike
/targetlasttarget

Macros do not support variables (scripts do, however), so you can't do anything like "#MOB#". If you know the exact name of the mob, you can type it into the macro, but then the macro would only be good for that exact mob, and you'd need a ton of macros. Handy for very special encounters, though.

I haven't gone as far to set up jamba to do attacks off the Marking ability yet.

But I see that you have targetlasttarget . Which means your slave is looking for your last target not your current one.? maybe?!

I would set up
/assist [target=focus, exists]
/cast Sinister

Now granted I'm a newb and still learning myself. So take what I have to add as a grain of salt. For a good example on my newbness --/targetexact #MOB#<--- this makes no sense to me =)

But the above macro works great for my 4 shammys.

Any reason why

/cast [target=focustarget,exists,harm] Sinister Strike

doesn't work for you?

I'm with Allestaria in that I haven't used Jamba to assist in targetting with my group. Perhaps someone else who has played with that can give you some better assistance.

I'm a simplist....

/assist Arvault
/cast whatever

It means that the slaves will always try to kill whatever the tank has targetted. It has it's ups and downs to it, but has worked fine for me. I simply can't have the slaves kill something other than what the tank is targetting, but I can work around it by having the tank target a ranged mob while simply keeping his defenses up while melees pound on him.
