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

[Owltoid]

As far as Fur's comments of what happens when the main toon dies, that is exactly the FTL's strength: flexibility. It doesn't matter which of my 5 windows I'm in, if that's where I hit the keystroke from then all others treat that toon as the current master without me having to do a thing.

FTL sets a hierarchy or toons right? Meaning A dies, B becomes leader. B dies, C becomes leader. Correct?

What happens when A is not dead, but unavailable to "lead" alts? (falls off a cliff, gets multi-death gripped out of range, teleported away.. whatever). Or am I missing something here as to how the next leader is assigned?

Sorry Fur, that's not correct. The "L" in FTL is for "leaderless."

As mentioned above, the only thing an FTL system cares about is what window the command came from. If you are dual-boxing then maybe one window will always send "lctrl + command" and the other window will always send "ralt + command". The macros have those modifiers in them so that if it received "lctrl + command" it knows to assist Owltoid, whereas if it received "ralt + command" then it knows to assist Fursphere.

This can all be simplified if, instead of having the conditionals in your spell macro, you instead make a /click button that's only job is reading the conditionals and assigning the target. Sorry, I don't have the macros in front of me, otherwise I'd post some examples.
