Assist vs. Focus Speed

[Savage]

/assist Onesavage
/cast Lightning Bolt

What happens when Onesavage is dead... the macro will not work anymore


Focus has it's ups and downs like everything else. The reason i use focus i because my macro wont be as long example
(off the top of my head)

1 button press once everyone is in group and when toon1 dies before others to control them, etc...
/focus [target=toon1, exists, nodead] [target=toon2, exists, nodead] [target=toon3, exists, nodead] [target=toon4, exists, nodead]

LB macro
/cast [target=focustarget] lightning bolt

CL macro
/cast [target=focustarget] chain lightning

With focus i only use 1 line of code for each macro. I don't use assist so don't quote me on this but wouldn't an assist macro look like this for each macro:
LB macro
/assist [target=toon1, exists, nodead] [target=toon2, exists, nodead] [target=toon3, exists, nodead] [target=toon4, exists, nodead]
/cast lightning bolt

CL Macro
/assist [target=toon1, exists, nodead] [target=toon2, exists, nodead] [target=toon3, exists, nodead] [target=toon4, exists, nodead]
/cast chain lightning

I dont die

In all seriousness, when my guys die, I target the mob I want to kill, turn the other ones with Q/E as needed and blast away. Now, when I get into PvP this wont work, but then Ill have to change over I guess.
