is there a reason why loads of people are gimping themselves by using focustarget instead of targettarget?

[davedontmind]

Just a little input on some macros:

here's a heal self macro:

/stopcasting
/cast [target=player] Lesser Healing Wave
/targetlasttarget

The /cast [target=...] line won't change your target, so the /targetlasttarget line is unnecessary, and (worst case) will have you targetting the wrong mob after the heal. I suspect that, in practice, your last target is already dead, so you've not noticed, but I believe it's wrong nonetheless.

here's a heal the named macro - this one was for thrall in some quest in CoT I think - not sure

/stopcasting
/target [target=Thrall]
/cast  lesser healing wave
/targetlasttarget

Why not just "/target Thrall", instead of "/target [target=Thrall]" ?
Even simpler:

/stopcasting
/cast [target=Thrall] Lesser Healing Wave

/follow target
/assist [target=target, exists]
/startattack

"/assist [exists]" should do the same, as "/assist [target=target,exists]" but with less characters.
