ISBoxer: Multi-Mode FTL Targeting.

[Toned]

If you want to make your focus targeting a little more flexible use this as your FocusAssist macro

/target [@focus, exists, harm]
/assist [@focus, exists, help]
/stopmacro [harm,nodead, exists]
/click FTLAssist

This way if you set your focus to a friendly your chars will assist off them, and if you set the focus to an enemy your characters will nuke it.

Toned, I like that macro and it got me thinking. Focus and Target-and-hold type macros are really useful when taking out groups of Elites in instances so I thought about using a similar macro for target queueing.

/stopmacro [harm,nodead, exists]
/target [@focus, exists, harm]
/stopmacro [harm,nodead, exists]
/click FTLAssist

Before pulling a group set the first to die as target on all DPS, set second to die as the Focus on all DPS. Once both initial target and Focus target are down the macro reverts to Target and Hold for the remaining mobs.

The setup is easy to achieve in practice, target second to die on master, assist & set focus for all, target first to die, assist and engage.

This one is replacing my focus target keymap for teams without crowd control abilities.

Now this is why I come to these forums. People coming up with creative ways to do new things rather than the same old, same old.

Going to give this a crack today as well as implementing my CC system for my shamans which will involve toggling whether they are using bind elemental or hex.

OK so I set this up tonight and it works perfectly. I used TOned's focus macro.

I have also rebuilt my follow macro so it now checks for a helpful focus that exists and will follow them when I hit my follow key. If they are an enemy target it will follow me instead.

this means I can attach my shamans to another player and assit of them/follow them and leave my tank or healer as effectively solo.

That's exactly what I did Reprisal and I team up and pwn stuff once in awhile I like being flexible. We've taken down Uld, 3D zerg, VOA, ICC 10 up to RotFace (Hopefully he dies tomorrow almost had him).

I wanted to be able to have my shamans assist off him on fights where it is needed etc etc...

I wouldnt mind having a look at this macro of yours,

I did something similar haven't bothered making it completely generic which I will.

My latest was making a totally generic 5 box profile. I have buttons to toggle the slot on/off for repeating, change if the slot is a melee (for IWT passing), caster, healer, or tank. I have so many characters and like to change characters/setups on the fly and it works great long as the Tank is always static, but this way I'm trying to make it so any slot can be swapped out at any given time. However, I'm still working out the kinks with FTL. The Focus targeting and Focus Sticky Targeting are working.

I'll post an update once I get around to finalizing everything.

Yeah I pretty much lokoed into this setup because myself and Viak have been doing some ICC, some Onyxia and OS3D. We got OS3d to 1% but essentially we need the ability for a tank to pickup the drake but for the shamans to never lose their target ever.

The 2 or 3 second delay and the initial fight for aggro against my own shamans I get by trying to grab the drake, face it away so I have enough threat to keep it off the healer spamming the MT and FTL kicks in and my shamns all nuke the shit out of the drake and waste the DPS on the drake.

I am going to use Focus to achieve it this time since Sarth will always be up till we kill him.

I am also of the mindset to totally rebuild my setup. I dont really play more than 1 team but I alternate tanks a bit as tanking is my favorite class to play. I've just purchased a X-Keys 58 Key USB for $300 AU delivered (thank you aussie dollar) and I want to print out all my labels and get all the keys setup perfectly with lots of addd toggles and keymaps as I write specific stuff just for various boss fights.
