Is there any way to target really random enemy on all slaves? I'm 5-boxing shamans and it is really easy to AOE mobs with 5x Stoneclaw followed by 5x Fire Nova totems. The problem is that your totems are treated as pets (gg blizzard) and mobs killed by your pets only do not grant any loot or XP. I was trying to use CL to tag mobs before dropping totems, but even with macro "/targetenemy /cast Chain Lightning" all my slaves seem to be targeting the same mob.

This would force at least three mobs to be targetted:
/targetenemy, /targetfriend
These commands cycle through the specified type of unit. /targetenemy is like pressing TAB, and /targetfriend is like pressing CTRL-TAB. You can also add a parameter of 1 which reverses the direction of the cycle (/targetenemy 1 is like pressing SHIFT-TAB).
Note: You can only use these commands once per macro.
/targetenemy
/targetenemy 1
So on the main guy you don't use this. On shaman #2 you use /targetenemy. On shaman #3 you use /targetenemy 1. It might be enough to alleviate the problem you are having.

This is an important problem for sure. With as of yet no clear solution.
Because of the one time per macro limit of /targetenemy its clear you have to press the key a number of times.
Put a /targetenemy on the main and you will cycle though.
Put /assist on the followers and they will also cycle though.
Then stagger the casts on each follower,
/castsequence LB,,,,,
/castsequence ,LB,,,,
/castsequence ,,LB,,,,
Would be nice to see better alternate solutions.
Use a Pal and consecrate ... lol.
What about thunderstrike doesnt that do aoe damage?

Yeah, I was thinking about this solution, but was hoping for something more simple.
And thanks for obvious Thunderstorm tip, my shammies are not 60 yet and I've never thought about this for some reason. So mob tagging wont be an issue for aoe farming past 60, but right now I'm in EPL just crying looking at all these yummy skeletons and recalling that insane XP per hour my frost mage got from them.
