Focus spells/heals etc

Hey im new to multiboxing and have got everything setup already.

Im using Jamba and Macaroon to help me do this but im having problems with it.
Ive set it so that I can switch to each character using PiP and with the same key I change focus on each character using a Macro, so now ive got all my chars with my main focused. But how do I make them all cast spells/heals by assisting the focus with minimum hassle? I know I have to use macros to do this, but this will get tedious to do with every single spell I wish to put on my hotbar.. Is there any quick way of doing this?

At first I thought Macaroon would be doing this for me, but Im guessing I was wrong.. Not to sure yet >.>

If you have the leader focused, for DPS and healing respectively it is:

Code:

---

/cast [target=focustarget] dps spell
/cast [target=focus] healing spell

---

As far as I know, no there is no way of getting around having to put that in to every macro.

*Cry* That is going to get annoying after a while.. Making a macro for every single spell :(
Is there a limit on how many macros a character can have anyway? >.>

255 characters with the base UI. 1023 if you are using Macaroon.

How many spells/abilities are you setting up and for what classes? I generally find I only need one DPS macro (or two if I decide to change them up based on situation). Healing spells are a bit different since those tend to be bound to a specific character and not what you're trying to kill.

Alternatively, if you don't want to include a [target=focustarget] in all your offensive macros, expecially ones that only have a single ability, you could put /assist focus at the begining of the macros you use a great deal, so that your alts stay targeted on whatever they were going to hit anyway.

Atm im just doing 3 Shammys. Only level 8 so dont have many spells yet hehe, just preparing for the future :)

Ok, well, just FYI, you could write a macro like:

Code:

---

/castsequence [target=focustarget] reset=6 Earth Shock, Lightning Bolt, Lightning Bolt

---

or, what may be better:

Code:

---

/castsequence [target=focustarget] reset=6/target Lightning Bolt, Earth Shock, Lightning Bolt

---

The first will open up with an instant cast and cast Lightning bolt until the cooldown is up. The second will fire off a lightning bolt first, then follow with a shock. Both should hit about the same time though, so you hit with 6 spells in the time it takes you to cast 1, which should kill or nearly kill anything you fight in one shot

Basically, longer macro's, but half as many...
/cast [harm] Lightning Bolt; [help] Lesser Healing Wave
/cast [harm] Chain Lighting; [help] Healing Wave
/cast [harm] Flame Shock; [help] Chain healing

You could adapt this idea...
/cast [harm, target=focustarget] Spell; [help, target=focustarget] Spell.
