Basic macro that will work when master is dead?

If you only play 2 characters and the first one dies... What is stopping you from switching screens to the second character and playing it manually?

I'd assume that that's what he's doing. The issue is that if he runs with focus-targeting macros, if he doesn't have conditionals within his targeting portion of the macros, it will fail to cast properly.

Ah, perhaps. Was assuming that the assist macro was separate and not hardcoded into everything on the action bar. Haven't boxed with macros like that for quite some time so, I don't remember.

It's not long ago that I did that as well, so I remember having to solve this issue

I do switch to the other character but all his abilities have the macro I mentioned above which means when I hit the key for that ability he does nothing.

Are you saying the way you do it is you hit one button that gets all slaves targetting the master's target and then use regular ability keybinds or macros that a single-character player would use?

If you run a FTL system (like what works out of the box with ISBoxer), you don't need to include the targeting portions of the macros.

I want to learn more about using FTL - is that best set up with Jamba being ISBoxer is not currently an option for me?

The way I do it is use ISBoxer which let's me target the lead character regardless of who I switch to.

The way you can do it is make a separate assist macro and then press that button when you want to assist to keep your other macros free of having a hardcoded assist (so they work just fine when you play that character manually).
