hi
I'm sorta new to this multiboxing thing, but I saw that problem arise right away, especially with collection quests, some of which I like to do...
I made sorta the same setup, with F8-F12 (got 5 shamans) - using PiP switching from Keyclone.
I've made 5 macros, for focusing each of my 5 toons. They are focusing by name:
focus1:
/target toon1
/focus
/cleartarget
focus2:
/target toon2
/focus
/cleartarget
focus3:
/target toon3
/focus
/cleartarget
focus4:
/target toon4
/focus
/cleartarget
focus5:
/target toon5
/focus
/cleartarget
I then keybound 5 spots on one of the alternative actionbars, to F8-F12
To avoid the leader having itself or others as focus, I made a 6th macro:
/clearfocus
Now, on Toon1 it's like this:
F8 - clearfocusmacro
F9 - focus2
F10 - focus3
F11 - focus4
F12 - focus5
Toon2 has this:
F8 - focus1
F9 - clearfocusmacro
F10 - focus3
F11 - focus4
F12 - focus5
Toon3 has this:
F8 - focus1
F9 - focus2
F10 - clearfocusmacro
F11 - focus4
F12 - focus5
And so on ... this makes whoever I make leader clear his own focus, and the other 4 toons focus him/her.
I then as an example have 1 macro bound for dmg, and direct healing:
#show Lightning Bolt
/cast [target=focustarget,harm,nodead] Lightning Bolt; [target=focustarget,help,nodead] Healing Wave; [harm] Lightning Bolt; [help] Healing Wave
First, it checks if your focus has a target and lightning bolts it if it's evil, heals it if it's good. If you have no focus, it just evaluates your current target, and does the same - LB evil, Heal good
This works rather well for questing, I generally only push one button for everything, just let the leader target a partymember if it gets low.
I will probably tweak the macros further, as I progress and level up, this is just a fast fix I came up with for changing leader in battle. The switch takes about 1½ seconds, and can be done midcast
