Good evening there

So it's been a while since I last played with more then a single character, last time was back in wotlk and back then, even though I had ISBoxer i bought it near the end of my multiboxing period and so already got too use to using /click and caseqence macros with ",,,,," back in wotlk

Now am back in Cata and realise the method of this pause in macros has been stopped and so I feel that maybe digging more deeper in what ISBoxer has to offer in features is the only option.

Anyway ... on to my question!
I started trying to 'macro' a rotation for a warrior tank but this proved to be somewhat hard to do and am not sure on how to go about this.

I don't know if it's possible but firstly in ISBoxer, is it possible to say have it how a /click macro used to work?

Right now i only know of using steps in key maps
So it would be Charge (1.5 sec) >>> Shield Block (1.5 sec) >>> Shield Slam, Revenge (1.5) >>> Rend (1.5) >>> Dev....
Anyway basically, the cooldown on rend is 15 seconds-ish, i don't want it appling again untill 15 seconds
Same with shield slam, only want it applying every 6 seconds.

But making a long list of actions to make sure the shield slam is pressed after 6 seconds each time by calculatiing when it should be pressed in a sequenced of spells seems, well a lot of trouble

So is it possbile to just get ISBoxer to press the shield slam and not go back to pressing it untill 6 seconds has passed? if you know what i mean ...

Just to be clear ...
If theres spell 1, 2, 3 and 4 ... where spell 2 has a 8 second CD
Is it possible to setup so it presses spell 1, then spell 2, 3, 4 one after the other (1.5 second for GCD between each) but when it comes back around it skips pressing spell 2 again because it's asigned not to be used again untill the 8 second mark is complete.

Thank you for any input or suggestions

You could probably create something very similar to a click castsequence from the pre-Cataclysm warcraft.
Not sure that you should, given that was removed from the game.

Mercurio and Toned have several macros in two sticky threads, and Aragent has an IS Boxer thread for "two-step" macros.
Basically set up IS Boxer, so you have a hotkey which alternates between two outputs.
Have a castsequence on each, one for things that have a fixed reuse/recast time and will never 'stick' or get stuck.
And another for proc type effects, which you want to use whenever they're available.

The two-step macro approach has worked very well for a lot of boxers.

You could also go with something similar to Mosg2's DK Manifesto.
The pseudo priority sequence...

Good evening there Ualaa,
bit of a late reply
Thank you for the information, been looking through a bit and also just somewhat finding my own way around at the same time. it's taking a long time but hoping i can get team setup and get leveling a bit.

Am quite pleased with my warlock destruction setup so far anyway, atleast been able to make use of the Bane of Havoc spell on a secondary target which i didn't think at first would be possible.

Just need to figure out how to handle the shadow priest proc with the rest of my setup now :D
Thank you :)
