    Default PvP Focus Macro's (Will this work?)

    My toons are: V, T, A, E, and R.
    My spells are cast by assisting Party1, which leaves focus free for other functions.

    Create one macro per toon, each on a different keybind, so pressing the keybind sets focus for that one toon only and does nothing for the other 4 toons.
    I'm thinking:

    /Assist [target=Party1]
    /Focus
    /Cleartarget

    Then create five focus fire macro's (on my Shaman's).
    #showtooltip
    /Castsequence [Target=VyshaFocus] Spell 1, Spell 2, Spell 3
    My question for the focus fire macro's is the syntax.
    Can A, T, E and R use [Target=VyshaFocus] ?

    Basically needed to change to:

    /tar [target=focus, nodead] focus
    /stopmacro [target=focus, exists, nodead]
    /assist MasterToon
    /focus

    Will place that macro, on each of the slaves.
    Each will have a slightly different keybind, so each slave can have its own focus.
    Pressing the button again will have the slave re-target their focus.

    So can set A to focus healer 1, E to focus healer 2.
    Then mid fight, have A/E Hex their healers, and have V/R each assist to re-Hex with a castsequence.
    At least if it works how I'm hoping.

    Worst case scenario, I'll be able to focus fire on my current target, or either of the four focus targets.

    partyX targetting for PvP, what if you aren't BG leader and your toons are in different groups? Does it still detect them from your "out of BG" party, or will it use the BG raid party?

    Worth to check

    The focus macro, is via the toons actual name, so that should work fine.
    My auto follow is done by the Jamba addon, but if the toons are not in the same group I'm not sure if they will recognize the leader or not.

    I do know you can be in a group on your server, and queue for a BG solo.
    While in the BG, you can /party chat with the toons on your server, not the toons in your BG party.
    Your screen displays your party from the native server, not the group the BG assigned you to.

    Have not tested if a... /script PromoteToLeader=("Toon A")... will change who is the leader of the server side party, while you're in a BG party.
    Or if assisting via party1 will work either for that matter, or if it will assume you mean the BG party.
