need help with melee macro

[nashwan]

My 2 man team consists of a rogue and a druid, and im having some issues with my druid slave

as of yesterday they got lvl 30 and i thought that all my issues where solved with the druid "feral charge - cat" talent, this casues the cat to jump behind the target and daze it. keyword here is "jump behind" as in "getting within melee range".
my attack macro is something like this

/assist rogue
/startattack
/castsequence reset=target feral charge - cat, claw, other abilities...

when i encounter 1 mob, all is fine, the cat jumps and stuff die fast, but if more then 1 mob is aggroed then the cat stays behind after the first mob is dead, he wont follow me to the next.... IF the mobs are close enough he will jump to the next one but more often then not the cat will stand still and when we are out of combat, he will follow the rogue again.

any ideas how to get the druid to follow the rogue even when in combat?

im also having plans for the druid to tank, men this wont work until he moves in combat.

Feral Charge has a cooldown. You want to set up interact with target and use that.

Go into the WoW options. Under Interface > Mouse > Enable Click-to-Move

Under Keybindings > Targeting Functions {about 1/3rd of the way down} > Interact with Target and chose a keybind.

When you press the keybind, your druid will now move to the melee target.

ok, ill try that, thanks for the quick reply!

but, i dont understand what "clock-to-move" has to do with it ?

[Khatovar]

Click to move is needed so your slave can move on it's own. Otherwise you have to manually move them to get them in melee range if they are out of range.

[nashwan]

so, if i press the "interact with target" button on a hostile and the slave is out of range, he will do nothing? or will he move to the target and then interact with it ?

[Khatovar]

If you are out of range and have click to move enabled, the slave will run up to the target and attack when you use interact with target. If you don't enable click to move, he will just stand there spamming "out of range" at you. You need both enabled.

thanks alot, i will try this as soon as i can!

Yea i have that on my elemental shamans for some reason i never took it off. Only thing it works good for is looting purposes i right click on dead body that toon runs up and loots body.But there is a max effective distance if your to far he wont go after the target.

[Khatovar]

It's also good for picking up quests and skinning/herbing/mining corpses.

[suicidesspyder]

Yep i just never put it on my main cause i have a tendency to right click a target lol. I really should use tab or some kind of targeting macro tho.

Ok the only thing im trying to figure out is this and zan got me started on it lol but didnt finish. Say im on my healer right i have my f button as IWT in keybindings and it works all fine and dandy if i target then hit F if on my pally she runs right over and starts.

But i want to play off my healer makes it a tad easier sending in the tank and keeping the rest behind. My question is there a way inside the keymap on isboxer to make it so it focus on w.e my healer is looking at.

For some reason my tank wont pull up the target. Atm i am trying on a test dummy to get this working then will go ahead and try it later on once its working. Anyhelp would be awesome.

I don't think you can have IS Boxer focus the camera on what the priest is looking at.
There are five definable views, and you can switch between them via macro.

You could lead with the healer.
Briefly press your formation key, which has everyone move a little (and breaks follow).
Then hit a mapped key for IWT, which only sends the keybind to the tank (or tank + melee toons).

Possibly switch to the tank window (set it IS Boxer so you don't auto-follow on a switch), if you need to position the boss or change its facing.

Then hit your DPS/Tanking rotation (from the Healer's window).
And possibly go with special abilities on the tank, like Taunt etc.

Zanthor's video series "Expanding the Possibilities" shows him driving with a Resto Shammy.
And has a tank and rogue on the team.
So driving the healer is very doable.
