Focus Healing Setup

[Nax]

I spent some time this weekend getting focus based healing setup.

In Game
First off, create a FTL-based Focus target macro. (Reminder: RIFT does not support LEFT/RIGHT modifiers)

Macro 1: FTL Focus
So, in RIFT, create a macro on each client:

focus [shift] Kilaris
focus [alt] Lorisina
focus [ctrl] Milleses
focus [shift] [alt] Nidueax
focus [ctrl] [shift] Ophelias

Place it on an action bar, and assign the spot to an F-key. I used F6.

There is a problem with this macro in RIFT does not like to focus yourself by name, preferring instead the keyword

self

. So, you can either leave it, or, can modify the macro for each client, to replace the name of the character for that slot to self.

As an example, for slot 1, you can change Kilaris to self the:

focus [shift] self
focus [alt] Lorisina
focus [ctrl] Milleses
focus [shift] [alt] Nidueax
focus [ctrl] [shift] Ophelias

Repeat this for each game client, replacing the character for that game client with the keyword self.

Macro 2: Focus Self (Optional)
Or, you can create a second macro that is

focus @self

, move it to the action bar, and assign a keybinding, for example, SHIFT+F5.

Macro 3: Clear Focus
Next, create a macro with

clearfocus

, move it to the action bar, and assign a keybinding, for example, F5.

ISBoxer Configuration
Next, setup ISBoxer to send the appropriate keybindings:


Create keymaps for ~ to 6,
~ for clear focus for everyone
1 to have team focus slot 1
2 to have team focus slot 2
3 to have team focus slot 3
4 to have team focus slot 4
5 to have team focus slot 5
6 to have every character focus themselves.

If you did the FLT Macro and Focus Self macro, using the KeyStroke Action to send (all&~is1) (meaning all and not is1), and a second keystroke action SHIFT+F5 to only is1. IF you only used a single macro with self replaced through, the KeyStroke target would simply by all w/ current.

Lastly, modify your heal spells with a focus target:

#show Symbol of the Torch
cast @focus Symbol of the Torch

#show <ability> will substitute the name and icon for macro.

Move the Macro to an Action bar, and assign a keybinding to the action bar slot, if needed.

Let me know if you have any questions.
