Cant cast when blinded/sheeped

[Wide]

Hi,

Had a problem with my slaves not being able to cast when my main was blinded/sheeped. Was told to change my macro a bit, but this one keep swapping targets and its driving me insane.

#showtooltip Lightning Bolt
/assist focus
/cast [target=focustarget,harm,nodead,exists] Lightning Bolt; [harm,nodead] Lightning Bolt

No idea what is wrong.

/assist focus and target=focustarget is redundant.

harm = exist, so does nodead = exist. exist is redundant.

lightning bolt is... redundant?? yes.


/cast [target=focustarget, harm, nodead] [harm, nodead] [] Lightning Bolt

this should work. you might have to manually target the mob though. i havent tried it yet, but the logic makes sense to me.


EDIT:
ok just thought about it more. better to use this:
/assist focus
/cast Lightning Bolt

/assist focus
/cast Lightning Bolt

Does that work when playing solo too?

/assist focus
/cast Lightning Bolt

im not sure. lol. make yourself the focus and see. :P

(i use the same macro on all chars, even the main).

Still the same, its swapping targets (i target my pressing tab, sometimes several times in a row). When i have found a target i like, then i press the macro and it swap to anoter one.

/assist focus
/cast Lightning Bolt

Realy frustrating in AV when i have a bunch of dues following me laughing when im not shooting at targets - seems like im a total dumb

Is TAB on your "DO NOT PASS" list????

ye

It used to work perfect with:
/cast [target=focustarget] Lightning Bolt

But then the slaves cant attack when my main is being sleeped/blinded.

one other thing to remember is lag. even though your main is targeting a mob, your slaves might not have "caught up".

if that is not the case, then i think you might have to try the hotstrings approach. then you can quickly jump on shamanB and make it the focus. then everyone follows B, including A when it gets out of polymorph.

Two things:

1) NEVER, EVER use /assist focus on your main's macro. It WILL switch back to the previous target if you press it when quickly switching targets.
2) Remove the "/assist focus" line from your original macro and it should work OK as long as you retarget with your alts when your main gets nailed.

Okay, but how do you then switch main (if it dies)? Then the one you switch to, will swap targets too.
Maby it will be a better idea to switch to that Leaderless, Focusless system (Hotstrings).
