I just woke up, so, Yea, I am confused.
I am not good at explaining stuff, so I just link few versions to switch mains.
Also it is good idea to read sticky and just search forum for "focus"
I don't know if it helps, but I hope you can find what you are looking for :)

ON WITH THE FUN STUFF!!

I was workin ZF with my shammy team of 4 and was dyin on the event (was havin fun tryin it anyways) - regardless was dyin a few times...

Those of you who've seen my prior thread on the "non-focus failover" macro have seen this...

/target [target=Shaboôm, nodead]; [target=Shabôom, nodead]; [target=Shabôôm, nodead]; [target=Shàboom, nodead];
/follow

OK but what happens when you're ALL dead and you wanna run back? Your guys don't follow you! YOU'RE ALL DEAD!!

Sooo... 1 easy addition...

/target [target=Shaboôm, nodead]; [target=Shabôom, nodead]; [target=Shabôôm, nodead]; [target=Shàboom, nodead]; [target=Shaboôm]
/follow

Translated?

/target [target=Main guy if he's alive]; [target=#2 if he's alive]; [target=#3 if he's alive]; [target=#4 if he's alive]; [target=Main guy - YOUR ALL DEAD]
/follow

Have fun![/quote][quote='Zzyzxx71',index.php?page=Thread&postID=5488 3#post54883]Test it out with one of your guys if you're interested in the "non-focus" mojo - I use these for my attack macros...

/cast [harm] [target=targettarget, harm] [] Chain Lightning

The only catch is you have to remember - your slaves (the non leaders) have to have the BRAIN targetted at all times. Hasn't been an issue, just something I've had to keep in mind when lookin at my groups targets.

that macro will cast X spell if you don't have a friendly targetted, but will cast the same spell on your friendlies target if you happen to have a friendly targetted.

setup the rest of your slaves offensive spells (or healing for that matter) using that format and you're set![/quote]
[quote='Simulacra',index.php?page=Thread&postID=683 27#post68327]I posted this on anoher thread, but I think people missed it or didn't realise how nice this is:
It allows my brain to set the focus of my mage alts for cc from the brain window and then cast polymorph from the brain window without leaving my brains window
So for me it like having a Pally with 3 seamless CCs :)

I'm making use of the targettarget approach to macros that [url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=User&userID=1955
Zzyzxx71[/url] suggested in this thread: Oooh new assist without focus macro!!

my follow macro for the alts (I only put the brain in as it was a quick test):

/target [target=Aztrid];
/follow

my focus macro on the mage window bound to numpad 1:
/focus [target=targettarget,exists] target

my sheep macro on the mage window bound to numpad 2:
/#showtooltip Polymorph
/cast [target=focus] Polymorph

so I select a target with my brain and hit numpad 1, the mob is now focussed for the mage

I select another mob for dps which is my targettarget

I hit 2 and the mage sheeps the focussed mob and I can then get it to DPS my selected target as it's using targettarget NOT focustarget.

I never once left the brains' window :) I've found this to be very quick when things go pear shaped, it's great not to have to click over to the mage screen and lose valuable seconds trying to select a mob from a slightly different pov for cc when all hell is breaking loose.

<edited for clarity>

I got you covered. This is how I have my macros set up, and let me tell you I dont have to worry about nothing, no more /assist.

Toon1 (Main)
F1 /focus Toon1
F2 /focus Toon2
F3 /focus Toon3
F4 /focus Toon4

F5 /follow Toon1
F6 /follow Toon2
F7 /follow Toon3
F8 /follow Toon4

Toon2
F1 /focus Toon1
F2 /focus Toon2
F3 /focus Toon3
F4 /focus toon4

F5 /follow Toon1
F6 /follow Toon2
F7 /follow Toon3
F8 /follow Toon4

Toon3
F1 /focus Toon1
F2 /focus Toon2
F3 /focus Toon3
F4 /focus toon4

F5 /follow Toon1
F6 /follow Toon2
F7 /follow Toon3
F8 /follow Toon4

Toon4

F1 /focus Toon1
F2 /focus Toon2
F3 /focus Toon3
F4 /focus toon4

F5 /follow Toon1
F6 /follow Toon2
F7 /follow Toon3
F8 /follow Toon4


So When I'm on my main I hit F1 to /focus my self my alts will then focus me.

I run around and hit keys to cast spells. Now when I hit a key when I have a mob targeted my alt will also cast that spell without having to target the mob

Some macros I use

/cast [target=focustarget] Chain Lightning
/cast [target=focustarget] Earth Shock
/cast [target=focustarget] Frost Shock
/cast [target=focustarget] Lightning Bolt


You bind these to keys on all your characters you will have no problem with playing. This made the game so much easy.

I hope this helps you.
