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
