the /assist piece was just for my live stream pc so you could see who I was targeting, when I first set it up - no one could tell who I was going for :PQuote:
can i ask
/cast [target=focustarget] Lightning Bolt
/assist Focus
whats the point in the /assist Focus on the end?
ah ha, now that makes sense ;p
Cool thanks for the reply ellay :D
Hey ellay :) thx for sharing :) It's always nice to hear what the best are using ^^
quick question tho.. I remember in ur vid you said you set ur focus on a player (a warrior for instance) of the opposing team.
but if ur using focus on ur clones how do you do that exactly? is it just ur main that uses focus as a targeting tool, and then you switch to a /t [target=focus] on your main whilst ur clones use the standard /cast [target=focustarget] ? am just curiouse as to how you get your clones to target the right guy when you use focus on your main :)
or did i completely flip out and imagine that :S
I remember that too, it was a hunter iirc. Perhaps the focus macros are not used on the primary character allowing a new focus to be set on that one alone.
I'm a bit curious as to the /assist focus command in the clones' lightning bolt macro also. I was considering doing this as well because on occasion it seems like my guys are firing at the wrong target. I'm pretty sure this is due to switching targets and hammering my Lightning bolt button, so due to latency my clones' targets haven't caught up. Regardless, it would give me peace of mind to keep tabs on all the guys from my Main window by seeing who they have targeted.
The reason I haven't done this yet is because if all 4 shamans paint a guy red by targeting him then the other team knows exactly who is gonna get wasted. The way I have things setup now is my clones have an empty target when we start but the second someone damages them they automatically pick up that target, so random members of the other team are on my teams active targets. I think this might be an advantage because many bar mods highlight the persons name in red when an enemy targets them. It's probably worth it to highlight as many of their team members as possible so the healer doesn't know exactly whose gonna get blasted.
As to the /castsequence macro. I left grounding totem out of my main PVP totem set because it would get 'stuck' on the Grounding Totem's cooldown. When the enemy got smart and started going after tremor totems I'd spam that button and I do not want it to get caught up and leave me unprotected. Same thing with putting earthbind on your main totem set, it has a cooldown. Recently I did put grounding totem in my main PVP totem set, but I put grounding totem as the last cast on all my toons. That way I could cycle through by pressing the button 7 times before getting 'stuck' on the grounding totem.
I'm planning on revising my totem set to have 3 characters put grounding totems down as the last cast in the sequence and 1 character putting earthbind down.
/castsequence reset=2 onetotem,twototem,threetotem,Grounding Totem
/castsequence reset=2 onetotem,twototem,threetotem,Grounding Totem
/castsequence reset=2 onetotem,twototem,threetotem,Grounding Totem
/castsequence reset=2 onetotem,twototem,threetotem,Earth Bind Totem [this toon will have his Grounding totem on a seperate button, which refreshes grounding on all toons]
That gives you 7 presses before the button gets jammed up on the totem cool down. I also use a much shorter reset time so that I CAN get to the top of the sequence in case it does get jammed at the CDs.
I've never had a problem like before. All my totems go down just fine. :/
That problem only happens if you need/want to recast all your totems again within 15 seconds of your previous cast of them.
But Nixi, don't forget to have a tremor totem in each layer of totems so you get them properly staggered.
Does no one go gunning for your tremor totems as fast as you can cast them?
I had a well disciplined team in Warsong Gulch do that to me. It was totally embarassing. They completely locked me down by taking out my tremor totems, healing while the melee were killing them, then all the priests/locks would go AOE fear crazy on me once they were down. I was mashing my 'totem button' but it was choked up on the grounding totem. So i changed the macro. I suppose in arena's this probably doesn't happen that much, but it still could happen.
I mean, if you don't have your tremors in your 'big totem sequence' then how do you stagger them? And if you have your tremors and groundings in the sequence haven't you ever had to lay out the tremors faster than the grounding totem CD?
I also have tremor by itself bound to a seperate key for those cases.
Also blow up the person knocking down the totems :)
