Ok, I'm going to try and explain this best I can because even when I say it I get confused.

I'm Pyrostasis brother btw, we're currently running 1 pal and 4 sham setup on wow. Videos and SS's will follow, but anyways back to what I'm posting about.

This is the issue I'm having:

I'm trying to come up with a way to make all of my targeting macro's more efficient.

When I first started running the shamans, I play all 4 shamans btw, I basically made a macro for every spell on my hotbar. The heals, the damage, totems and all that.

As for what my problem is it deals with targeting someone to heal, then targeting someone to do damage. Basically I set up a f1-f6 setup to target all the toons and I made it universal throughout all the toons. f1-f5 targets all 5 toons in the group and f6 has all the toons target themselves.

Then I made every damage spell /assist my main shaman and then cast the appropriate spell. This worked just fine until I started to run into issues of my main shaman dying or getting feared or banished etc... So, I came to the forums and I looked through the macros and I've tried a few but none of them are working correctly for me.

I started with this macro for my assisting with the other 3 shamans:

/target [target=Šaria, nodead] [target=Šixx, nodead] [target=Šuxx, nodead] [target=Šexx, nodead] [target=Šaxx, nodead]
/assist target
/cast [exists,harm,nodead] feuerball

I replaced the names with all of my toons starting with my main which is Tdkearth then my second Tdkfire, Tdkwind, Tdkwater. So, this worked fine until again I died well when I die I select Tdkfire's window and I pick a target and try to cast a spell and immediately all 3 toons try to assist my dead toon and I get Invalid Target error basically. If I jam the button and click my target over and over I can eventually make it work, but it's far from efficient.

Basically, if that doesn't make any sense what I want is a macro that will allow me to target my main unless he's dead and if he's dead to target my secondary - 3rd or 4th toon whichever I pick to be the new main assist.

Right now I've settled for making a different macro to target all 5 of my toons, a macro to assist my target and cast a spell on it and then my heals spells are not assist macros I just target whatever toon I want to heal and through keyclone I setup round robins and stuff, but it's extremely clunky and constantly having to retarget my main assist is geting annoying. If you know a macro that can help me please post!

Thanks guys!
