Question to my thoughts...

[Elektric]

Well, I think that does not exactly solve what I'd like to have a solution for ^^...

You are taking the following steps:

1. Targetting an enemy with your main
2. Server sends Information to everyone what you are targetting
3. Set you mains target as focus

basically I'd like to erase step 2, do you think that's possible? ^^

Yes it is.

You want to avoid letting the opposition knowing who your focus is.

Do this first:

1. Get Proximo.
2. Copy the target all macro from arenajunkies.com (looks somthing like tar /a, tar/b, tar /c, etc...).
3. Normal use of this macro consists of spamming the button as the gates open to everyone's name.

Then how to execute:

1. Type /focus (name of the target you want focused)

Assuming you dont have the keys in their name that you have on round robin it'll work. Or you'll need to keybind the Round Robin bypass to a key and then type.

Not easier. Not More Efficient. But Possible.

And trust me. The good teams know who you're going after long before they catch on to who you are setting as a focus. But just for good measure I set my focus and then just click around to keep them on their toes.

Does proximo allow keybinds? I mean, it lists the enemies. Can I assign any keys to the targets being listed?

Example:
1. Spamming the Macro so I get the list of my enemies --> One toon shares this information equally to each person
2. I get 5 enemies in my list (maybe less)
3. I press one button, to assign every toon an enemy to target
--> 1st toon = 1st enemy in list, 2nd toon = 2nd enemy in list, and so on...
4. Through targetting one enemy on each toon I basically could switch focus without being noticed to do so I'd guess.

Even easier would be to be able to set direct focus on the different enemies on the list.... In case proximo allows keybinds ^^

[Elektric]

Yes Proximo Allows keybinds to do just that.

But you have to target each toon before setting focus. And on another note, Proximo would bug out when ever i ran more than one copy on my computer. I can only run it on my main or it works for a couple of matches and then bombs out.

But if you're willing to give it a try, it could be the solution you are looking for.

Thanks Elektrik those are some awesome posts!

I'm currently only lvl 65 with my 5-box, having been at it for just 4 weeks, but already see the need for an FTL setup. I need to be able to deal with my main being sapped or CCed but have been scared off by the complexity of FTL compared to a regular focus setup. I'll get around to it in the near future though.

With FTL, I'm not sure how to get all your slaves to follow the new leader as you change around leaders - how do you do that?
