[quote]5-9. A macro for each character name which sets them as the main focus target, follows them, and sets up twoboxtoolkit notifications
(this is a huge concern as I don't want to have 5*the number of teams I have for macros. This alone could eat up my 36 macros if I create more teams. I'm thinking of spending the money to rename all my characters to start with a set of letters making a single set of 5 macros perform this function for all teams)

this can all be done with one macro. Check the wiki

All in all I would take a look at your macros and the wiki and consolidate, toss out, the ones that could be use with simple key bindings. I run a paly,priest, 3xmage; a 4xshaman, and a 3xhunter, and I have not even used half of my macro slots.[/quote] The Wiki doesn't have a solution that really fits well with how I'd like things to work while multiboxing working universally when I'm in a single party of 5 or when the BG leader decides that he wants to be a pain and put me into 5 separate groups. Here's the section from the wiki dealing with assisting with my comments inserted: [quote] Assist Macros


[url='../wiki/index.php?title=User:Fortis&action=edit
Fortis[/url] provided the following macro which provides a method of assisting without using focus, freeing focus for CC tasks



This looks interesting, but I'll have to do some experimentation. I like using focus since I don't have any CC with the shammy team, but with that changing in WotLK I may use assist rather than focus. The main problem with this is that I can't choose with a different button press to skip my 2nd character as the main assist if he's CC'd. It limits me to only a predefined priority of which characters are my "main" if they are alive.


The IT Monkey provided the following macro which sets the focus to the first live character in a predefined list of characters



This has the main disadvantage of the first as well where I can only have the preset list of leaders in one order based on who's alive. This also would not fit into a 255 character macro if you add in more character names.
Djarid provided the following macro to set the focus to a specific character based on key modifiers



This looks the most promising, but I'll have to remap my Xkeys. If I can fit it into 255 characters for all the teams this would still allow me to use 5 separate buttons allowing me to choose at random who is the main.
Vyndree
uses party assignment for determining the "main assist", which allows
use of focus for CC/interrupt/pet assignment. A focus can be used to
force a party leader assignment in battlegrounds, or when your main
dies.



This one only defaults to the party leader and then would require other macros to choose a focus different from that. In BGs this wouldn't work when I'm not in one group or the leader.
Another way to allow the use of focus is using action bar pages to assist.



This would simply eat up all the pages way too fast. I have separate bars set up for solo playing when I've respecced a shaman to heal in the past so this would be limiting me quite a bit.
