I've designed my setup so that my Keyclone maximizer buttons are also tied to a macro that changes the group leader to the newly maximized screen. for example, my warrior dies, and I press F6 to switch the view to my warlock and make the warlock the new group leader. since all of my macros have /assist party1 as the first line, when a leader change happens, the slaves all target the new group leader's target.

ok - my problem is that the new group leader still links party1 in it's macros to the old (and dead) group leader. As I'm spamming the macros, it's repeatedly swapping from my old leaders target (which is probably dead by now) to the new target or perhaps the closest target depending on the situation.

I want to keep my macros as simple as possible, but do I have to put [nodead] or some other conditional in there?

is there a "best practice" for dealing with /assist? I'm trying to keep from using focus unless necessary as I understand that at the higher levels, focus should be for CC and heals instead.

Thanks in advance!
