Oooh new assist without focus macro!!

[kitss]

Thank you for all this information. All the QA throughout has given me the knowledge of macros I was looking for.

I will be implementing this formation over the next couple of days and will submit my results.

I was using this for a while but found it to be a pain sometimes. Think when i was using my priest as a main. The priest dies but stays in sort of an alive state so that you can heal for about 30 seconds or so. In this case your toons sit there trying to follow the kinda dead priest.

Suppose you have characters A, B, C and D. Suppose the 'focus' order is A -> B -> C -> D, so if A dies, B takes over, etc. This is a huge problem when A dies and B + C are on low health. In such scenario (which happens quite often) you actually want to switch to D, because he has more health and will live longer. By switching to the character that lives longer you will have to switch less and thus lose less time.

You will also have to add an "exists" check, because otherwise this setup will fail whenever you remove someone from your team to replace with a friend's character.

Hmm I am using focus since my first day of boxing, and yesterday I tried the Rocket Car Parts quest in Thousand Needles (I skipped with my first team) and was a pain in the ass, as I was trying to control a slave being as main and just didn't work, as the macros are all focused based on the main's actions, targets, etc.

Yes, I changed focus of them all, but anyway macros didn't work, because is based on focus. Anyway, a big mess.

I will try this. I am just worried about pet.

For the Warlock pet, I once used (warlock Smash DPS Key):

/petattack
/castsequence [target=focustarget] blahhh..

Then the pet just took a random target, as he is not taking focustarget, only the castsequence. I changed then to:

/assist focus
 /petattack
 /castsequence blahhh..

And it is working nice.
So I now may try how the pet can attack the same target if the "Smashing DPS" goes to your idea, WITHOUT changing targets:

/petattack
 /castsequence [target=targettarget] blahhh..

I will test if /petattack [target=targettarget] works. Otherwise, I have no idea.
