It is 1 macro, and as you suggested I checked target's target and all are focused correctly without much delay. The problem seems to be with their respective position to the target which is no issue when casting, even less so with my locks as it doesnt matter if the target is in front. Looking into the follow with /startattack now as Its my first real attempt at the melee side of boxing so i will also look at other ways to initialise the attack.

cheers
