Macro command suggestion to add to the "Macros for New Multiboxers" sticky
I have recently discovered a macro command that could eliminate the need to use /assist.
When multiboxing, you can either bind specific spells or bind macros to your bar on your main toon - the function I have in mind works either way.
Example:
My main toon is named Unscrupulous, a Warlock. I bind Shadowbolt to the 2 key.
If I were running around with 4 other locks, I would use the following macro, also bound to 2:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=Unscrupulous-target,harm,nodead] Shadowbolt
This macro command makes the extra toons cast Shadowbolt on your party leader's target without having to use /assist or /focus to accomplish it. Obviously, you can edit the name of the main toon and the spell as is needed for your setup.
"target=maintoon-target" means that you will cast the specified spell on whatever mob or player your main toon is currently targeted on. If you were to do this with all of your DoTs, you could DoT stack multiple targets even using tab-targeting and just run around while everything around you dies...
Or whatever class or mix of classes you are using.
It also means that you can always have your healer targeted on your main tank in a mixed group so that heals will always default to the tank, and you can always add a mouseover function for healing the other toons.
Hope it helps.
Oh, yeah... First post.
