Basic macro that will work when master is dead?

[wowunderachiever]

If you run a FTL system (like what works out of the box with ISBoxer), you don't need to include the targeting portions of the macros.

I want to learn more about using FTL - is that best set up with Jamba being ISBoxer is not currently an option for me?

What key broadcasting program do you use?

If I may suggest, and this is how I do most of mine anyways, even with ISboxer, Keyclone etc. I have this macro on my 1 key

/follow focus
/assist focus
/stop casting

Then I use the typical /castsequence [target=focustarget] on my spam macros.

Now for when I five box, on my left hand buttons, I have like

F1 /focus ToonA
f2 would be /focus ToonB

etc. etc.

This way, say ToonA dies, I hit the Appropriate function key, and keep plowing through.

Now granted, a lot of this is very redundant, given the built in functions of many of the programs, Isboxer specifically, But it's how I started doing things way back when with hotkey.net, and well, It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Not sure if something like this will help you or not, But If so great, If not, so be it, everyone has their own comfort zone, and that is cool also.

I am using this simple macro with all my toons:

/target focustarget
/castsequence reset=combat/target name of spell,name of spell,....

this way, when my leading char dies or I want to play toons solo, it works just fine

You could put in all your abilities directly from your spellbook. And have a designated assist key to assist your main...
This way when you target your target with your main guy, you hit that one "/assis focus" key your slave will have the same target as he's focus target.. Now you can just spam the abilities like you normally would as a solo player, and use your abilities if your main char dies.
The only backdraw with this is that you have to hit this key everytime you want to change your target.

If you use a Focus based assist system.
A basic part of that is having master switch keys.

Everyone has one key per the number of toons on the team.
In this case there are two characters, so everyone has two leader switch macros.

Both of them focus the first toon, on keybind A.
And both of them focus the second toon, on keybind B.

Both of them have:
/cast [@focustarget] Whatever
/castsequence [@focusttarget] Whatever, Whatever, Whatever

Both of them have:
/follow [target=focus]

Etc...

No matter which toon leads... that toon is everyone's focus.
Set their warcraft focus macro keybind, to whatever key your software uses to switch between their windows.
So the focus auto changes, when you switch screens.

I appreciate all the responses. Stephen I like your idea and will give that a try and if that doesn't work out I'm going to switch to howster's method.

Dude, stay on the master and target mobs. You can still target mobs while dead. Personally I would use assist @charname this would allow you to cast when you target something. But for your setup just target mobs on the main too

I blacklist my movement keys, therefor while I may be able to target from a dead character I can't move the surviving one.
