Okay, most of you experienced multiboxers will know that when your 'main' is blinded or deathcoiled, etc. Your followers will not be able to see your main's target anymore. And will go dead for the duration of the blind/deathcoil/etc.

This is because to everyone but the client, the blinded/deathcoiled or otherwise impaired characters will not show their target anymore to others.

There is a way around this. I'll show you some crude macro's to counter this. (the important parts on this problem bolded)

Here's an example for a very crude assist system. (Seriously, don't use assist tho. :P )

/target toon1
/assist
/targetlastenemy
/cast Lightning Bolt
/cleartarget

Or in case of the focus system

/target focustarget
/targetlastenemy
/cast Lightning Bolt
/cleartarget

Or, in case of a leaderless set up.

/target [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt,target=ToonA]
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonB]
[mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl,target=ToonC]
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift,target=ToonD]
[mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift,target=ToonE]
/target targettarget
/targetlastenemy
/cast Lightning Bolt
/cleartarget


... Obviously these are rather crude macro's just to show the trick. I'm not sure if this was well known. I just figured it out a few days ago, and it works like a charm. (I use the leaderless set up myself.)

This way your alts (if you started to dps before you got blinded) will remember that last target even if your main looses the target due to blind/etc. So, it's a good thing, for example in arena, to already click your dps macro on the target you want to dps first. So they'll also remember that target as /targetlastenemy.

It's so win! I finally feel my macro system is PERFECT! I'm happeh moomoo. :>

PS: Yeah I use cleartarget, it looks nice and clean. And works like a charm anyhow. :>

I had to come up with this because there was a rogue/hunter/lock/x/x team that found out and blinded my main, I switch char, then that one got a deathcoil, I switch again and hunter throws on a scatter. Was well annoying, was unable to do anything for like 15 seconds. They made easy pickings of me. This will not be the case when I'll meet them again. >
