    Wow. I just accidentally tried to post this through FireFox (which I hate, but was doing something else!) and lost the entire message. Lucky I have a habit of copying big posts to the clipboard before hitting submit 8o

    Ok, I'm home now so let me post this before I forget! As I said, it's lifted from the no-focus manifest and "just works" for me. This is for a 4 shaman setup, but you just need to add another failover character for a full 5 man team.

    All of my drones have the same follow macro:
    Code:
    MACRO 16777222 "Follow" Spell_unused2
    /target [target=myMain, nodead, help, exists]; [target=myAlt1, nodead, help, exists]; [target=myAlt2, nodead, help, exists]; [target=myAlt3, nodead, help, exists]; [target=myMain, exists]
    /follow
    END
    And the same assist macro (so I don't need macros for every single damage spell):

    Code:
    MACRO 16777217 "Assist" Ability_Warrior_PunishingBlow
    /target [target=myMain, nodead, help, exists]; [target=myAlt1, nodead, help, exists]; [target=myAlt2, nodead, help, exists]; [target=myAlt3, nodead, help, exists]; [target=myMain, exists]
    /assist
    END
    My main doesn't respond to the follow keystroke, so has an empty "follow" macro, and the "assist" macro on him just puts a skull over whatever he expects the rest of my team to target. This lets me quickly check that everyone has the same target and also makes it easier when I group with other people:

    Code:
    MACRO 16777217 "Assist" Ability_Warrior_PunishingBlow
    /script SetRaidTarget("target", 8)
    END
    I have a sneaky suspicion that some of those conditionals (help and exists together) are unnecessary because one implies the other, but I'm a firm subscriber to the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality.

    edit: clarity.

    Hehe.

    Odd though, because I thought the semi-colons were superfluous but my "it ain't broke" gene kicked in and I left them alone
