when your main dies

[thinus]

first of all i had a macro that simple moved the focus down the list of characters, the problem with this was that the new focus would instantly start targetting itself because of the target focus and assist focus, anyway was a nightmare.

so i decided to play about with it alittle, i set it up last night, when my main dies the next one on the list becomes focus, he will clear his focus target, and the spell list will change so that the set isnt all /assist focus macros.

So you are saying "/assist focus" doesn't work if you have yourself focused?

Just a clarification as well, all these main switching strategies imply that you will be "driving" from your new main's WoW window if you are running multiple sessions on the same box. You won't be using your normal main WoW window.
