...is there a macro that can make a slave turn and face target?

I have only just starting MBing but im getting annoyed that when i get attacked and i want to attack back quickly, sometimes my slave isnt facing direction.

I tried to setup so i could rotate my slave using buttons but it seems too slow for what i see in MBing videos...

Any ideas?

Thanks! :D

For my mixed group (warrior tank and various caster DPS), I pushed a movement key for my alts so they would break follow and my melee would go up and smash faces. Your DPS is parked about 15-20 yards away and don't usually have to worry about facing issues. It also helps with mobs that AOE fear. For melee that you want to make face the mobs, the new keybind "Interact with Target" helps a crap ton. Get a mob on your main, push your assist macro (so now your alts have your main's target) and then push the keybind, and now your alts will walk up and smash faces also (even turning around). Think of it like an attack key or your alts right clicking on the mob.
Hope that helps and good luck.

that sounds great, are you able to assign an "attack" to that keybind?

for example i press the button and i turn and all turn and face and attack with something like Wrath?

i just set this up for my 5 shamans ... i used a 3-step round-robin ...

1. /assist main
2. /interact with target (causes toons to run to target and auto-melee attack)
3. up-key (to stop the movement)

i hit they key 3 times quickly and it does the trick ... not sure if you can do them in less steps, but this works for me.

*edit* - click-to-move is a requirement ...

Where is your main during this? If I get attacked in rear, main will run at mob and slave(s) follow. If follow is broken, then hit follow again.

"/use Sage's Lightning Rod" still works. :D

@nolife: what do you mean? Is there something unique about that item?

If follow is broken, then hit follow again.basically if my main is attacked and i have to turn my main 180degrees to face and attack, unless i walk forward a few paces my slave doesnt turn and face direction. its just a tad annoying.
