Confused on Octopus Attacks and Self casts.

[Jhazz]

Salutations. This forum helped me decide to take the dive into 2 boxing on one computer.

I decided to try two boxing for the first time today on the toons Jhazz and Bluze.

Two priests.

Now I set Jhazz as my "brain" and Bluze as my clone.

When I cast heal on Jhazz, I end up healing Jhazz on both characters.

However when I cast smite in key 2 using the macro below in key 2 for my clone... only my brain casts.

/cast [target=focus, nodead, harm] Smite

The key does get pushed looking at my clone's hotbar, but nothing happens.

I tried to do this:
/assist jhazz
/cast [target=focus, nodead, harm] Smite

And still nothing.

What exactly am I doing wrong?

(Jhazz is set as my Focus for the clone, keybinding focus to F11. He follows using the "Big Button" method from the Octopus setup)

/assist jhazz
/cast [target=focus, nodead, harm] Smite

means you are trying to cast Smite on your focus (target=focus). You have set the target using assist jhazz so remove target:

/assist jhazz
/cast [nodead, harm] Smite

If you are using focus to set your main with /focus jhazz you can use the following for any damage spells with your slave:

#showtooltip
/cast [exists,harm,nodead] Smite
/stopmacro [exists,harm,nodead]
/a Focus
/cast Smite

[Groovy]

/cast [target=focus, nodead, harm] Smite
This will try to cast smite ON your focus, what your looking for is the following:

/cast [target=focustarget, nodead, harm] Smite

now keep in mind that the focus target does lag a bit on the alt characters, if your like me and change targets often, it'll take about 2 seconds before the focus target is registered on your alts.

If you want to make sure your main target is always the right target for your alts i would suggest this instead:

/assist main
/cast [nodead, harm] Smite
