Switch Focus Macro?

[voodoogriff]

My alts aren't quite to the pvp level yet, but this is what I'm looking at for 3v3 arenas.

Target Opponent 1 with Main
Mage Clone Assists and Focus
Target Opponent 2 with Main
Warlock Clone Assists and Focus
Mage Sheeps/Warlock Fears

Now since Diminishing Returns are a factor, I'm looking for a quick easy way to make the sheep the new fear target and vice versa. Anyone?

I assume you are fearing/sheeping the targets and focusing on main.

If it's a one-shot deal, you can probably do something like this:
/cast [target=warlock-target] Sheep

However, if you are looking for a real switch of targets, I think you have to do it in two steps (two macros). First have the warlock and mage focus each others target. Then, they can target their focus and focus on main again.

The problem is that they need to keep their target until the other alt has registered it. If you try to do it all in one macro, you end up with a race, and they are likely going to end up both with the same target.

This might do what you are looking for.

[code:1]/stopmacro [target=focus,noexists] [noexists]
/target focus
/targetlasttarget
/focus target
/targetlasttarget[/code:1]

Actually the fact that there is a tiny delay in registering the target on clones may be able to get around the race. I think I'm going to play around with this a little because this and the concept seems very useful.


edit1:
A simple test of

------------
>macro on player1<
/target [target=party4target]

>macro on player2<
/target [target=party1target]
------------


Was very consistant in swapping both players targets. I even mashed the key as quickly as I could and it worked perfectly.

This may be slightly different than using it in a cast but it still shows the concept can work.
