round robin fear question

[death]

is there anyway i can get get 5 fears cast at the same time on 5 players in pvp through round robin?

A castsequence macro is what I've found to be usually the easiest way to do round-robin spells.

For example, with my team casting Hammer of Justice I have a macro on each member that looks like this:

Pally1: /castsequenece reset=60 Hammer of Justice,,,,
Pally2: /castsequenece reset=60 ,Hammer of Justice,,,
Pally3: /castsequenece reset=60 ,,Hammer of Justice,,
Pally4: /castsequenece reset=60 ,,,Hammer of Justice,
Pally5: /castsequenece reset=60 ,,,,Hammer of Justice

You can't handle targetting in WoW macros using round robin, so you'd have to get your boxing software to do that part.

Don't know how you'd do it with other programs, but with HotKeyNet I'd use something like this:


<Hotkey lshift Tab>
<Toggle>
<SendLabel WoW1>
<Key Tab>
<Toggle>
<SendLabel WoW1,WoW2>
<Key Tab>
<Toggle>
<SendLabel WoW1,WoW2,WoW3>
<Key Tab>
<Toggle>
<SendLabel WoW1,WoW2,WoW3,WoW4>
<Key Tab>
<Toggle>
<SendLabel WoW1,WoW2,WoW3,WoW4,WoW5>
<Key Tab>

Hit left shift and tab 5 times, and if you're lucky, you'll have 5 different targets selected.

You could also use it to round-robin calling macros with /targetenemy in them, so you're not targetting totems or pets.

You'd want /targetenemyplayer or it might be /target enemyplayer.

/Targetenemy will get hostile pets, but player will only get players.

toon1

/castsequence fear,,,,

toon 2

/castsequence [target=focustarget] ,fear,,,

toon 3

/castsequence [target=focustarget] ,,fear,,

toon 4

/castsequence [target=focustarget] ,,,fear,

toon 5

/castsequence [target=focustarget] ,,,,fear

Mike,

The above assumes a focused setup, does it not?

If using FTL, then I'd still omit the [target=focustarget] and allow the FTL setup to control who the target of the fear is (by for example, whacking it into a keymap in which an FTL Assist me is issued as the first step).

[death]

so use mike's macro's but make a assist me ftl command then tab and set fcus to those targets?

or with the commas delaying the cast from the keypresses i could just tab,fear,tab,fear etc yeah?

(this is my first pvp team)

I have a round-robin Focus key.
Haven't used it much, but it is functional.

Basically using Steps in my software.
Press 1, sends the keybind to Toon A. Nothing to the others.
Press 2, sends the keybind to Toon B. Nothing to the others.
Etc, for all toons.

Then have another key, which is something like:
/cast [target=Focus,exists,harm] Whatever.

So in my case the Fear/Cyclone/Whatever is not round-robin, but the targeting is.

Well, not sure how you'd do it in Keyclone any more (been too long since I used it).

In ISBoxer, I'd go without any targetting and rely on the DPS' already getting their targetting information from the default FTL setup within ISBoxer on the 1-9 keys. This means you'd drop the macro into a action bar slot entirely within WoW itself (though if not one of the 1-9 keys auto passed by ISBoxer, you'd still need a keymap to broadcast to all clients whatever key you bound it to in WoW)

You could preface the command with an FTL Assist me if you really wanted to be sure they were hitting the correct target, in which case you'll then have to have an ISBoxer keymap setup, or alternately bind your already existing FTL Assist me keymap in ISBoxer to a key, and hit that each time before you want to cast the command.

The issue here is that Fear (like HoJ for that matter), needs a target, so either the target has to be specified in the macro usually by "/castsequence [target=focustarget] fear" or the toon receiving the target must already have a valid target selected.

Since if you're using ISBoxer and the FTL default setup the follower toons will be assisting your leader anyway, and therefore have the same target, it seems easier to me to do away with any extra key maps, and just define the round-robin spellcast entirely within WoW as a simple /castsequence macro on one of your 1-9 keys.
