focus Targetting macro
i run with 4 locks and soon5 shammies too.
I use targettarget targetting on my locks together with together with bongos action bar swapping and keyclone pip leader selection.
this all works like a charm.
Now - my locks are getting nice and big and so are the dungeons they run around in.
I want to setup a focus target for each lock that has to be either chainfeared or banished, or possessed.
what i was thinking was to have one button that when pressed the first time toon 1 sleected leader target and makes it his focus. when its pressed the second time toon 2 makes the leaders target his focus.
this way i can target a mob and hit the set focus button, then target another mob and one of my others will focus on it.
then during combat i hit the banish or fear button and each walock performs the action on his focus target.
I know its gonna require a small amount of setup before each fight, but i think it will work out ok. due to targetting lag its gonna be too slow for pvp use, but then for that i use different tactics.
i have the following questions.
1) how do i set raid targets in a macro ? star skull etc....
2) how do i do the focus targetting so that on one press it sets focus, and on ther other 3 presses it does nothing ( or nothing, setfocus, nothing,nothing ) . sorta similar to a castsequence
3) if a lock doesnt have a focus target, or its already dead, then the fear/banish must be aborted and a shadowbolt must go to targettarget

I have a set up that I enjoy on my 3 mages.
I have my 'F' key set to slave one macro to focus. 'G' set to slave two macro to focus and my NumPad 0 set to cast polymorph.
my macro is a simple one.
/assist NameofPlayer
/focus
then my polymorph casts on my focus targets after I cast it. I am at work so dont have the actual macros on hand tho.

1 - Have no clue.
2 - You could use the round robin feature.
3 - /cast [target=focus, exists, nodead] fear (or banish); [target=targettarget] shadowbolt
I believe 3 is correct but be sure to use ";", not ",". If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me.

2) /script SetRaidIcon(6)
3) Only way you can do this is via Keyclone's "round robin" feature. I do not believe you can do this from within a macro as /focus is a separate command and not capable of castsequencing.

Not exactly what you want, but I do this:
On your main, use numpad 1-9 to setup raid targets (in your key bindings setup).
On your alt 1, bind numpad 1 to /assist <Mains Name> /focus
On your alt 2, bind numpad 2 to /assist <Mains Name> /focus
Now you can (if you ahve decent party frames that show party targets), easily see if they a) assisted correctly even after lag, and b) know which is focused.
