ToC, need add-on

[Moosulja]

The only 5 man I still have problems with that I can't get down on heroic and it's b/c of the mounted combat, is there an add-on that will allow me to use focus/assist while on these mounts? All I can really do is tab into each screen and manually select the target which is just a pain in the ass.

/Focus MyTank
/assist Focus
/cast defend
/cast thrust


As a macro seems to work just fine. I use a 2nd macro w/ a /follow in it too.

It won't allow me to set a focus while mounted ;\

Hmmm, idk then. Worked ok for me last week. odd.

While mounted you CANNOT do this:

/target X
/focus

you CAN however do this:

/focus X

This is because while mounted you cannot "target" players by name, only their mounts. I use the standard blizzard UI, and just do two things:

If you setup the following macros and keybinds it makes everything easier.

Macro1 (i have mine bound to F1)
/focus tankname
/p i set focus to %f

Macro2 (i have mine bound to f, for follow!):
/follow focus

Macro3 (i have mine set to `) this macro changes the target on all your slaves to the tanks target:
/assist focus

finally in keybindings go find Interact with Target and set it to something (I use shift-`, or ~).

Voila -- press F1 to have everyone set their focus to your tank, F to follow, ` to assist the tank (change targets), and ~ to go run up to the target in case of fears/etc.

Thanks puppychow

As soon as you mount up, you need to reset your focus. And when you get off.

If you use IS Boxer, vehicles will auto assist the same as toons.
Press 1, and everyone presses 1, at the lead toons target.
The same naturally for 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.

Not all vehicles will follow the other vehicles.
But most will, just get in and do your normal follow key.

If that doesn't work.
Clear focus, then /Focus ToonName, then /Follow Focus.
This will work for just about anything.
But again, there are exceptions, in which case you either manually control each and do the quest or skip that content.

I just use 3 macros + ISboxer keybroadcasting.

/assist jinkobi
/follow jinkobi

Just put in your main's name. I never use focus just my mains name and it's worked out just fine for me. If you switch masters all the time then you might run into problems but who does that?

Then a macro to equip my weapon after the mounted combat.

What I also do is have my first 3 buttons above the main bar on the bottom left bar set the same on my slaves. That's where I put the macros.

Has Heroic ToC become much more difficult in the jousting? I used to run this every night and now I can't get past the jousting without several mount switches. Even when I'm playing single player they're tearing me up with focus fire and generally doing a lot more damage than I used to take.
