Hi, I apologise if this has already been answered before, but I couldn't find the right search parameters in Google and thus never found the correct macro.

Basically I have Player 1 (Paladin) and Player 2 (Warrior). Bad choices I know, lol. I previously dual-boxed a Rogue as Player 1 and Priest as Player 2, and it was fantastic. I had some macro for the Priest which would work as follows:

- target Player 1
- follow Player 1
- target Player 1's target if they are targetting an enemy mob
- shoot with Wand

Now, I have seem to lost this macro due to the recent 3.0.2 patch. Basically, that macro allowed my Priest to assist attack BUT also keep following Player 1. This meant I didn't have to keep pressing a second macro to follow Player 1 again after every mob kill. Once Player 1 has killed, it can move onto a new mob, and Player 2 would follow.

Also, if for any reason Player 1 had to move a bit while killing the mob, then Player 2 should also follow and move at the same time, rather than just stand there and then get 'Out of range' message...

At the moment, the macro does assist Player 1 and does /startattack, but then it loses the /follow part and I have to click a separate follow macro again! Any idea what I'm missing here? Kind regards

Edit: Also, before the macro would only start attacking if Player 1 was targetting a mob. If not, then it wouldn't attack.

Autoattack breaks follow, it's as easy as that.

Install the Jamba addon and enable "auto follow after combat" and that will take care of one of your problems atleast.

For macro, tell me exactly what you want it do and I might be able to write one for you.

Jamba is awesome, you could also get Keep following ('http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/kfollow.aspx') which works good, but only for following.

I have not tried the Jamba, but like the autofollow on the TwoBox Toolkit. But I especially like the keepfollow addon for this purpose. I have a /kfollow focus and /kfollow stop on my toolbars.

yea I have to set up the /kfollow stop key yet as I keep forgetting that if you have the /kfollow on you'll waste drinks on your slave XD cause he's not told to stop (to drink) and wants to stand back up rdy to follow....
