When main gets polymorphed my macro's screw up.. any suggestions?

[Heraveth]

My clones use /assist <main> /focus to get targets to blast to tiny pieces,

but when my main gets polymorphed, the macro doesnt work anymore.. any suggestions on how to fix it? any kind of parameter to add for it to work? or any other suggestions, Thanks!

When polymorphed I think you lose your target. If, while your polymorphed, you re-select a target does it work?

i wish, i can mash the assist button as often as i want , but not really any success with it.

Suggestion: Don't get polymorphed.

People have various ways of dealing wih this. I have a priest and a mage to dispel/decurse whenever my main is afflicted by some loss of control effect. Limited to PvE and loss of control effects that can actually be removed.

Others focus their main and then use /target focustarget as an assist key. So to swicth mains you just need to change the focus target for everyone to your new/temporary main and your assist key will work seemlessly.

EDIT: Some focus their mains and don't use assist keys at all, instead macroing every ability with a [target=focustarget].

try using

/target CHARNAME
/target TargetTarget
/cast XYZ

I use what I call "sticky targetting".

example Chain Lighting
-----------------------------
/assist [noexists] focus
/assist [dead] focus
/assist [noharm] focus
/cast Chain Lightning
-------------------------------

As long as my clone is not targetting something it can attack it will assist focus. However if it can attack something it does not assist. So if I lose my target or change targets the clones will still attack its current target till it dies.

note: it could probably be changed to
/assist [noexists][dead][noharm] focus
but I haven't tested that.

been having that problem in zf for a while now, getting frogg�d, and then toons being unable to cast due to /castsequence [target=focustarget] isnt working anymore. And yes I know grounding totem should take care of this, but i dont want to use grounding for this one, just want an answer to losing the targetting and not being able to pewpew.

so you guys say

/assist focus
/cast pewpew

that should be the answer?

(and /assist [noexists][dead][noharm] focus, should work I think)

yea same here getting frogged in ZF, but my problem is more that i dont have /focus set on my main char, its just /assist <main> and that mob target gets /focus.. so they just keep nuking the same target even though switch with main.

Guess I'll have to change the macro setup then though

I just learned to dispel in ZF lol

But I really like the only assist if my current target does not exist, is dead or a friendly. It means my tank can switch targets a lot easier between multiple casters where I have trouble keeping aggro.

Thanks!
