Method #1 Using Focus and Keyclone's RoundRobin
by kllrwlf
Note: I do not use Focus for casting other spells. I use /assist main and not /assist focus for other spells.
Note: This is if there is time for preperations before attacking the mobs.
Note: This is also using Keyclone's RoundRobin Feature.
Note: This can not be done rapidly as there is sometimes a server delay when selecting a new target, so I usually wait a second in between steps.
Focus Macro Button that is on RoundRobin for my 3 Mages (same button for all 3 Mages)
/assist main
/focus
Main Selects Mob1 (and add raid icon for better identification) Focus Macro Button Main Selects Mob2 (and add raid icon for better identification) Focus Macro Button Main Selects Mob3 (and add raid icon for better identification) Focus Macro Button 3 Mages now have a 3 different focus
Sheep Macro Button that sheeps all 3 at the same time
/cast [target=focus] sheep
Hit the sheep macro button again if it breaks and the remaining mobs that are still alive will get sheeped again without losing your target because you are using focus for sheeping.
Method 2 - I don't have time to prepare
by user:kllrwlf
Note: This is when the mobs are already on top of you and you need to start sheeping right away.
Note: This does not use focus, so resheeping is not as easy as Method 1
Mage1's Sheep Macro (Same button as the other Mages)
/assist main (or focus if you are using focus for your main)
/castsequence Sheep,, (the comma placement is important)
Mage2's Sheep Macro (Same button as the other Mages)
/assist main (or focus if you are using focus for your main)
/castsequence ,Sheep, (the comma placement is important)
Mage3's Sheep Macro (Same button as the other Mages)
/assist main (or focus if you are using focus for your main)
/castsequence ,,Sheep (the comma placement is important)
* Main Selects Mob1 * Mage's Sheep Macro Button * Main Selects Mob2 * Mage's Sheep Macro Button * Main Selects Mob3 * Mage's Sheep Macro Button
Method 3 - Emergency Sheep or Random Sheep (Not recommended)
by user:kllrwlf
Note: This is not recommended as you will either end up with all of your Mages sheeping the same mob or different mobs. It's VERY random.
Note: /targetenemy can only be used once within a macro
Mage Sheep Macro Button for all Mages
/targetenemy
/cast Sheep
Method 4 - Using Different keys to set focus and raid icons
Party Leader's keys:
Alt+1 = /script SetRaidTarget("target",icon);
Alt+2 = /script SetRaidTarget("target",icon);
Alt+3 = /script SetRaidTarget("target",icon);
Substitute "icon" with a number below
example: /script SetRaidTarget("target",5); would set the Moon icon on the target
1 = Yellow 4-point Star
2 = Orange Circle
3 = Purple Diamond
4 = Green Triangle
5 = White Crescent Moon
6 = Blue Square
7 = Red "X" Cross
8 = White Skull
Mage1 keys:
Alt+1 = /assist party1
/focus
/p Sheeping %T
Mage2 keys:
Alt+2 = /assist party1
/focus
/p Sheeping %T
Mage3 keys:
Alt+3 = /assist party1
/focus
/p Sheeping %T
All 3 mages have Alt+4 = /cast [target=focus] Polymorph
Main selects first target, hits Alt+1 to set the raid icon and mage1 will set its focus that to target. Main selects second target, hits Alt+2 to set the raid icon and mage2 will set its focus that to target. Main selects third target, hits Alt+3 to set the raid icon and mage3 will set its focus that to target. Hit Alt+4, all 3 mages will sheep their focus.
Method 5 - Mage support crowd control using targettarget and focus
Note: These macros are based upon the targettarget approach to DPS leaving focus for other things - in this case Crowd Control. No /assist is used either. This section is for mage polymorph but could be used for Lock Seduce.
The idea is that you set the mages' focus onto your mains' currently selected target for cc and ccing without leaving your main's window.
The added benefit is that if your main dies it's business as usual after hitting the follow key as your alts target will change to the next available live toon. It's also very quick selecting which mage gets which mob for cc if a pull goes bad or you're being ganked.
Salute to user:Zzyzxx71 for suggesting targettarget as an alternative to focustarget for DPS macros thereby freeing focus for something more useful.
Note: Your alts should always have the maintoon targeted.
In my setup I have 3 mages in my 5 box team.
alt follow macro:
/target [target=maintoon, nodead]; [target=toontwo, nodead]; [target=toonthree, nodead]; [target=toonfour, nodead];[target=toonfive, nodead]; [target=maintoon] /follow
focus macro on the mage window bound to numpad 1,2 & 3 - one for each mage:
/focus [target=targettarget,exists] target
sheep macro on the mage window bound to numpad 4:
/cast [target=focus] Polymorph
Usage:
From your mains' window select a target and press either 1, 2 or 3 for whichever mage you want to use, repeat till all mages have a focus on a different mob, if you don't select each mage to have a cc target it doesn't matter. You can select up to 3 mobs in this scenario. Select the mob you want to DPS from your main, pull that mob and then press 4 - all focused mobs are then sheeped and the mages can DPS your current target using targettarget macros.You could make it nicer by adding the
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("target", icon);
