    Do you know if this would work in a BG setting?

    Particularly in AV where all members spawned between 2 different GY.

    Or would there need to be another (or replacement) flag [exists] ?

    I'll test it tonight - I've seen someone else using a variation on this theme but put 3 different "brain" toons in the front and differentiated with [exists] so it was indifferent to who was driving.

    I tested this out for 4 hours last night, and completed a clear of ZG with my 3 slaves never losing target off of my Brain. I'm still adding small touchups to the macros..

    I'm slowly putting together a "Non Focus Manifesto" for those of you interested in multiboxing without using focus.

    A very timely post for me as I am starting to work away from using focus for targeting. I am working on instancing with pally/mage/mage/lock/tree and want to use focus for managing cc, so I am in the process of rewriting macros.

    I look forward to seeing the manifesto!

    I have been testing several target follow macros and I find this to work very well.

    /cleartarget
    /target [target=Wãr, nodead,exists]; [target=Conquêst, nodead,exists]; [target=Famine, nodead,exists]
    /focus
    /follow
    /stopmacro [nomodifier:ctrl,nodead]

    Not sure if I need the last line in there but it seems to work so I left it in. This macro is of course on my last guy I control if everyone else is dead.

    My attack macros are then as such.

    /assist focus
    /cast [target=focustarget, nodead, harm, exists] Chain Lightning ; Chain Lightning

    I'm very new to dual boxing, but this seems to work for me.


    I understand this is a non focus thread, but I would think you could eliminate the focus line on the main macro and change the /assist focus to /assist on the attacks.

    AHHH guys you're killin me here!! The idea is to NOT use focus. For targetting, following, anything. Zip, zot, nada, ziltch, nein, no focus - save it for something else!! (disclaimer: That's my opinion) I was thinking eventually doing a multi mage team, using a set of 3/4 buttons on an Xkeys to /assist leader/focus for sheeping... but focus is so powerful, I wanted to leave the option available.

    I'd hate to get to a situation where I say to myself "damn a /focus2 would be nice".

    Edit: In response to the focuser above me :P you could do this for your cast macros.. .kind big but it's all inclusive...

    /target [target=#1, nodead]; [target=#2, nodead]; [target=#3, nodead]; [target=#4, nodead]; [target=#5, nodead]
    /cast [target=targettarget, nodead, harm, exists] Chain Lightning ; Chain Lightning

    Your failover is even built in.

    Hmm...been toying with this for a few minutes on my shamen and so far it seems to work...haven't tried with one or more of them dead yet(but horde're being quite brave today and ganking in town so I might be able to shortly lol) but so far it's been seamless targeting...the only complaint I have is that when I have no target, it targets myself...not really an issue yet but it could be an annoyance :p

    OK, I am a bit confused about this, what are the benefits of using target as the holder of your "main" instead of focus ?

    seems that:

    /follow focus = /follow target

    /cast [target=focustarget] = /cast [target=targettarget]

    assigning focus to retain a mob for CC = assigning target to retain a mob for CC

    Basically target and focus are identical except that target is exposed to the default UI.

    so what am I missing?
