Better way to macro /assist?
Hi all, I just bought Keyclone last night, and so far I am absolutely loving it! However I was wondering if you all could help me maybe find a better way to macro my stuff. For instance, I have 2 shamans, named Xeera and Xeeri. Xeeri is my main, so every damage spell I have is beginning with:
/focus Xeeri
/cast [target=focustarget] Spell Name
I'm wondering if there's a better way to do this, as quite often when I switch targets on Xeeri halfway through the battle, Xeera continues to cast spells on the first mob. I'm thinking it may be a latency issue, but with both accounts running from separate folders on the same computer, I wouldn't think latency would come into play so much.
Thank you sooo much for any help, and thanks to Rob for the awesome software!

If you're always going to use only 2 characters, why even use /focus? I have more than 2 characters, so what I do so that I can easily change focus to another character is to set up macro that does this:
/target Prepared
/focus
I have a macro for each of the characters that I want to set up to assist to. Then my assist macro does this:
#showtooltip
/follow focus
/assist focus
/startattack
/cast Flame Shock
That way, I get the toons all to follow, assist, attack and cast with one key press while in battle. Most guides I've found on here suggest to have an assist macro and a cast macro separate. But that means two key presses when you don't need it. If your focus doesn't have a target, then the key simply follows the assist (or at least it should :)
