Assist fails when master dies...

[Zal]

I guess without a focus-setup there is no easy way to solve this?

correct for the most part, it is much easier to go with focus assisting if you're a pve'er.

You can do the same thing if you are targeting your main instead of focusing it.

But to keep us from guessing, Valle2000, tell us what targeting system you use currently so we can make suggestions based on that so it'll be familiar to you, if you do not want to change the base type of your targeting setup that is.

So, do you:
Have your alts always targeting your main and casting on targettarget?
Have your alts always focus your main and cast on focustarget?
Have your alts /assist your main?
