Control by healer

[suicidesspyder]

Ok im at that level now that i can do instances. I want to control my team by the healer. I use mw monk 2 ww monks and a bm monk. My question is how do i set up in isboxer to use the bm monks aoe by my heals screen. Or in fact is it easier to control by tank in this instance just make my iwt break heals from group.

I used to drive my healer but ended up driving the tank because it is much easier to heal with something like vuhdo or healbot and then cut-and-paste the healer's i.e. vuhdo party frames into my tank UI with a videoFX window and heal from the tanks window.

The biggest reason was because the tank needs more mobility. It was easier to drop the ranged folks and then run in with the tank if I was driving the tank, than trying to drive the healer and send the tank in.

You can drive with anyone you want.

For instances, typically you bounce back and forth between the Tank and whoever your default choice is.
For battlegrounds, I found it a lot better to lead with the Healer.

Melee (including the Tank) can Interact With Target, to close onto whatever.
IS Boxer allows for instant-swapping between characters.
So you can swap to the tank, move through the mob (and turn to face it, as you do so... so you never have your back to it) and move it slightly... so the melee can still hit it, but they're now hitting it in the back for reduced dodges/parries/blocks etc.

Any special that you want your toons to do can be hot keyed.
Whether that is an AoE or an ability with a cooldown.
The Pro Configuration groups things together by type... so you might press 4, for AoE stuff regardless of what toons you're on.
Without that configuration, you can still put AoE on 4 and Burn/Burst effects on 5, or whatever key you like.
