Melle DPS key switches target

[cmeche]

I recently got my 4dks + Pally up to 85 and switched over to isboxer from kc. The Dks work perfectly but it seems that my dps spam key(1) for the DKs is making my pally switch targets...,,,even though i dont have anything in the "1" slot for my pally. And when my pally switches targets, the Dks keep assisting random targets.

Not sure how to fix this......other than this, my DKs are rocking!

The 1 key, probably runs FTL Assist Me.
Which has all the slaves (pally included) assist the active character.



Open up IS Boxer Suite.

Create an Action Target Group.
Top pane navigate down to Action Target Groups, and right click on it.
Create a new group.
Right click the new group and rename it DK or Death Knight, or something similar.
Select (Left Click) the ATG.
Then using the slider bar (top pane) go to the top and expand Characters.
Drag each of your DK's from the Character List at the top, down to the bottom left pane so they're in the newly made ATG.

Expand Keymaps (top pane).
Click on General Keymaps in the top pane.
Right click on FTL Assist Me, in the bottom left pane.
Copy the mapped key (Make Copy).
Right Click on the copied mapped key.
Rename it something like DK's FTL Assist.
Expand Steps beneath the mapped key.
And click on the 1, under steps.
Then in the bottom right pane, left click on the Assist Me > All Other (under actions).
On the right, left click on the arrow to the right of the Target box.
Change the target from: Windows All Without Current to Group (others in) DK's.

Now right click on the FTL DPS Keymap (top pane).
And select copy Keymap to Clipboard.
Right Click on Keymaps (Top Pane) and paste the Keymap.
Rename it, something like DK Team or whatever you call the character set.
Left click the the new (copied) Keymap in the top pane.
In the bottom left, modify the DPS keys (DPS 1, DPS 2, etc) that you use for the team... so the mapped key they call is not FTL Assist Me, but DK's FTL Assist instead.
- Click the 1 under Steps, in the bottom left pane.
- Left click the FTL Assist Me action, under Actions in the bottom right pane.
- Change the mapped key, in the drop down box to the new one.
Do this for any of the DPS Keys that you spam, where you want Assist to be different from the default.

Almost done...
In the top pane, click your character set.
Drag the newly made Keymap (the one we copied and renamed)... from the top pane to the bottom left pane where it says Keymaps.
This Keymap now applies to our team with the DK's.
Similarly right click on the FTL DPS Keys Keymap and delete it from the Character Set (Bottom Left Pane, under Keymaps).
Left click on Keymaps, in the bottom left pane.
Select the Whitelist option - Allow Keymaps only if they're listed below.
Select the desired Keymaps: Control, General and the copied DPS Keymap.

In the top left pane, left click on Control under Keymaps.
In the bottom left pane, expand the Activate Maps mapped key.
Expand steps and click step 1.
In the Right pane, under Actions, right click on "General Keymap" On > All.
Copy this to the clipboard and then right click on Actions and paste it.
Left click on our pasted action, and change the Keymap that is enabled to our DK FTL Keymap instead of General.
Also change the Target from Window: All With Current, to Group: (All Of) Character Set Name.
Once you've done that, right click on our newly created action and copy to clipboard.
Click on the 2 under steps in the bottom left pane.
Paste our "on" command under Actions in the bottom right pane.
Left click the "on" command, and edit it so the action is "off".

Open the File Menu.
And Export to Inner Space.
If you're in game, do a /Console Reloadui



Explanation...

We took a mapped key (FTL Assist) and made a copy of it, so the original is intact for future teams.
We made an ATG with only the DK's in it, so the new assist key can use only them as the target.
We created a new Keymap, based off of our FTL DPS Keys.
Which we can and did modify, without affecting the original... so this is intact for future teams.
We set the new Keymap to load for our team and set that only the desired Keymaps load for this team.
And modified the Control Keymap, to load/unload our new Keymap, but only for the team that will use it.

Wow, I really dont know everything that i changed yet....but it worked.

I really do appreciate the long detailed posts you take the time to do in this thread and others.

You probably don't need the new Keymap to get this working.
But the new keymap specific to the team... won't interfere with other teams.

I recently started migrating my stuff so each team has their own Keymap.
Rather than a convoluted... when I press hotkey... send one thing to Team A, something different to Team B, etc.

It's easier to take a few steps now, and have it set up so it won't interfere with other stuff in the future.

For Necrotic Strike, I dont know if i just missed the instructional setup in isboxer, but shouldnt i have a timed delay so i dont get 2 NS in a row?

i am guessing "reset to step 1 after 0.1 seconds" would need to be changed. What is the time delay that yall are using?

Just have it in the random chance to land.
A one in six chance, that NS is triggered on Key release, if you're not already on a GCD.
With spamming, they'll fire off fairly randomly and regularly.

With four DK's spamming away...
After the initial Howling Blasts, you either blow runic power on Frost Strikes, or do Blood Strike/Necrotic Strike.
You'll average one Necrotic Strike per DK, every 5 seconds.
Which is plenty of heal reduction.
No need to micro manage the ability.
Just mindlessly spam your key, and trust that you'll have NS up on the target most of the time.
