Using a succubus and felhunter in a smarter target way?

[Hachoo]

Ok right now I basically have macros to seduce and spell lock someone by one of two ways. First it checks to see if I have a target, if I do it seduces/spell locks the target, if not then it seduces/spell locks the focustarget. Right now I typically use 4x succubus or 4x felhunter, but after 3.0.2 I'm thinking the synergy of having 1 of each pet is too good to pass up, so I was thinking about a new macro like this:

Seduce:

/assist [target=target,nodead] focus
/cast Seduce

Same with spell lock.

What I'm hoping this does, is only assists my focus if I have no target or my target is dead, then casts seduce. So the first time my main targets someone/something, and I hit the macro, my lock will target that person, and then seduce him. Then later if I'm targetting something else with my main and casting spells on all of my guys, and the seduce wears off, if I hit my macro again for seduce, it wont target the new target, it will keep casting seduce on the original target, until hes dead.

Will this work? This will make my life much easier if so! Please advise!

/cast [target=focustarget,exists,harm,nodead] Seduce

Thats not what I was asking for...did you read the post? :)

Technically this was already answered but I think the forum move to the new server lost a day or two worth of data.

Edit: still bad...

not sure how you'd be able to do that properly without storing the seduce target as focus.. at least for the fight.

The only way I can think of is using some kind of /focus and /targetlasttarget thing.
Well having the macro only /assist when your main is not targeting someone, your alt will never be able to to anything. If it has no target to cast on it won't be able to seduce it. :P As you say "only assists my focus if I have no target or my target is dead" this macro will never being able to do anything.

I assume you want this as a CC right? How about usign something like this:


/assist maincharacter
/targetenemyplayer
/cast Seduce


This will make your alt first target what you are targeting, then search for another char to cast Seduce on. If it finds a target, it will Seduce it.

Too bad you cannot obtain the focus of the focus... =) Then on the main, you'd focus on the CC mob and beat on the kill mob, while your slaves can CC the focused and beat on the others.. real pita if you're running focus-is-leader.

Actually I already tested something similar to what I posted in my first post and it does indeed work:

/assist [noexists] focus
/cast Seduce

This will automatically assist my main if I don't have a target, and then cast seduce. Once the assist is done the first time, I can switch targets on my main and then hit the seduce button again and it will re-seduce my original target.

The issue here is that once the target is dead, it stops working, as I still have a target, but I can't cast seduce on it.

So once thing I'd like to try, or maybe you guys can confirm whether this already works, is:

/assist [noexists] focus
/assist [dead] focus
/cast Seduce

I know [nodead] checks to see if the target is alive, but will [dead] check to see if its dead? Or maybe something like /assist [!nodead] focus or something?

[sedory]

yes, [dead] will return true if it's dead..

/assist [noexists][dead] focus
/cast Seduce

I believe that will work if there is no target or if the target is dead, otherwise you'll have to use the two line assist you just posted.

I will try that


I also do the same with my felhunter and spell lock.

I was working on a way to do it on 4 locks in a sequence but now each of my locks is "specialized" in a specific pet so I use one of each :)
