Focusless, targetless, 'leaderless' (FTL) setup.

[Tnarg]

Sorry if this question has been asked before, but using mages as an example:
Is it possable to use this set up so if I press '2' it case a fireball at the target of my current window but if I press 'Shift+2' it casts a fireball at its current target. So if I want to kill single targets it atacks my current window target or if I'm pulling an AOE group I can have each mage target a different mob so when I shift+2 it cast a fireball on a different target so no one mage gets agro from each mob.

Sure, just don't make any hotstrings for Shift+2 and simply drag the fireball spell to the button.

OK I set up all my macros but I'm have 2 big problems, firstly is the 255 char limit which I got around a little bit by using the an assist macro and calling it using '/click ActionButton12' but that takes up a spot on my action bar.
The other problem and a much bigger one is each time I cast a spell my leader losses his target.

Any one know any way around these problems?

Hi all, I read through the wiki and tried various search strings in the search function here, but was unable to find an answer regarding movement using the FTL system. How is movement handled when you switch main/brains? Do you have the movement keys on a do not pass list? drive movement with mouse only? something else that I dont know about?

Sorry if this has been addressed before but i was unable to find an answer to this after going through both the wiki and hitting a brick wall with the search engine.

You will want to have your movement keys on the do-not-pass list even if you don't want ot use this system.

The easiest setup I have found (for me) is OLIPCS's setup. Read from post 1-59 I think. His last post (59) should give you a setup to use 1 main assist key, and 1 main follow key.
when you click on the screen/window of the new "main/brain" you would hit the same follow key, and all slaves would update who they follow.

This setup requires that you hit your main assist key every time you target a new mob. But, it lets you switch targets with your main to geterate rage or gain aggro, while the slaves continue to DPS the same target.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your help Frosty! Really appreciate your taking the time to help me.

I will have to redo my movement keybinds now but at least now I know how to setup the movement keys now. Thanks again! :thumbsup:

So after reading about FTL setup when it was first posted, I've wanted to try it but being a hardware boxer for a long time I had a pretty good setup already. Well with the new patch and a new dual quad core (yes that's 8 cores)/8 gb ram system, I decided to use Keyclone and play on a single system.

Last night I setup 2 different teams with FTL. First team was easy with Paladin + 4 Shamans. Second team is Feral Druid, Shadow Priest, Hunter, Elemental Shaman, Holy Paladin. With both setups the FTL system works incredible effiecently.

Thanks for coming up with this system and those that have contributed to help refine it.

Ok I have come up with an interesting predicament. I use one tank to swap between groups (paladin, shaman x4 or druids x4) and Im wondering how I can do this without having to reset my macros everytime I want to play a different group? Is there a way or do I need to level another tank?

Use the /click ActionButton way. Then you only have to edit the names in 1 macro or have 2 macros and just drag the one you want to the bar slot you use.

I have been trying to create the targetless setup. I tried the following macro and I heal the player not the player's target...

/cast [target=Zirxi-target] Healing Wave

Zirxi is the name of one of my toons and I want to cast Healing Wave on Zirxi's target. Instead, I heal Zirxi. Any ideas?
