/castsequence [target=focustarget, harm] [] reset=combat/target Curse of Agony, Corruption, !Shoot

It might help a lot if you explain what it is that is happening and what it is that you expect to be happening.

But since your a warlock why do you need a harm macro? Thats mainly for healers. I would make one for focus targets and one for targets. castsequence reset=target dot,dot,dot

I will guess :)

You change targets on your main, but your slave's macros don't reset, only your main?

I ran into the same issue... i think since your slaves don't actually target anything, they don't ever change targets, so reset=target won't ever kick in.

One of the downsides of a focus based system rather than the FTL systems, i guess

You are right, my mistake.

It isn't resetting as I change a target and I can't figure out why. It ends up becoming stuck when it hits the !shoot part, that's when I want it to reset via changing targets (sometimes I'll stick with the original target and wand, but most of the time I'm on the move). Perhaps I just misread what the reset=combat/target was and it cannot do that.

Priest is the lead, warlock are the followers (I did the old paladin/shamans and that seems so simple.. no need for cast sequences heh)

Thanks.

That would make sense, I'm so silly.
Then I guess.. how do I add /assist focus instead of target=focustarget in a cast sequence heh. >_<
*edit: /Assist focus changes targets, so it should reset.

I think Dial is right.
In that case the macro should be:

/target [target=focustarget, harm, nodead]
/castsequence reset=combat/target Curse of Agony, Corruption, !Shoot

and you can leave the combat check:

/target [target=focustarget, harm, nodead]
/castsequence reset=target Curse of Agony, Corruption, !Shoot

[edit] Or:

/assist [target=focus,exists]
/castsequence reset=target Curse of Agony, Corruption, !Shoot

It would look something like this maybe:
/assist focus
/castsequence reset=combat/target Curse of Agony, Corruption, !Shoot

.... I think that would work .... can't test from where I am... but then you lose your sticky targeting for cc purposes (and you already can't use focus), so that may not be worth it...

Maybe more like:
/castsequence [target=focustarget] reset=combat/6 Curse of Agony, Corruption, !Shoot
would be better?

Play with the "6" till you find a resonable amount of time that doesn't reset when you are spamming on a target and want to wand, but does reset in the time it takes you to pick a new target and get in position

[...]


I think that "/assist focus" will give an error message when focus is not set. Of course it won't fail the macro .. it's just that you'll get red messages spamming on your screen.
"/assist [target=focus,exists]" should fix that.

Also, you could do reset=combat/focustarget
Though you need to be targeting your target for !shoot to actually fire more than one shot.

I did a write up on priest/warlock macros a long time ago. I found it best to go with FTL with the play style I was using - mostly dot dot dot run. I wrote it up right before they announced RAF - at which point the leveling of that team was abandoned. Some of the info might be dated and I think I might have run into as issue with !shoot not liking targettarget. But for the most part everything was working.
