followers not assisting and sometime lost focus

[dsathira]

as frosty suggested on another post

so what unit frame addon you guys are using ? the one that doesn't cause assist macro to screw ya over ?

beside i really need lightweight unit frame addon, the one came with duex addon complilation is kinda cheesy.

I think the delay on slaves assisting is ok, no?
Because:

1. Focus targets "Mob A"
2. Server refreshs "Focus Targeted Mob A"
3. Slaves requests assistance to Focus
4. Server sends "He is targeting Mob A"
5. Slaves targets Mob A

I have the little delay on all my toons, so sometimes I need to press the DPS key 2, 3, 5 times until they target/start casting the target.
If this isn't normal, then I will keep looking this thread for a solution.

EDITED: I use X-Perl unit-frames, it shows real time party/raid:
targets, target target, target target target, focus target, focus target target.

And WOW your computer is the same as mine :P (Q6600, 4GB, 9600gt).

I never understood the /assist thing.

Try have one macro like:
/target Character1(replace with charname)
/focus target

and then you have 1 macros for each spell:
/cast [target=focustarget, harm, nodead] Shadow Bolt

Fail-safe. :P And if you want to see who's your character's focus, just type /target focus and it will target that person. No need for "focus-frame".

/assist focus 
/cast Something

/cast [target=focustarget] something

assuming you have your leader targeted (help target)

/assist target (this will Take Your Target's Target , the same as below)
/cast something

/cast [target=targettarget] something

They work all the same way and purpose and get all the same delay (as the proccess of refreshing, etc is the same).
