Getting Casters to Face Target

[Sumasaum]

Does anyone have a good way to get casters that don't have a mele spec to face target? Even using click to move and interact, With most of my casters, if they are in range they don't mind just chillin facing the wrong direction. They will face the target if they are out of range though. The only way I've been able to turn them is to click follow and lead them in the right direction. I think all of the toons that have a mele spec, like druids, shamans, etc. are fine...it's the locks and priests and such.
Oh yea, I use ISBoxer.

I use crafted items called a Crystal Focusing Lens (https://www.wowhead.com/item=42420/shadow-crystal-focusing-lens).

They come from jewelcrafting and when used they force your character to turn towards their target.

That is a great idea thank you. I might have to add yet another button for this though...maybe add a shift modifier to my interact key. I do not love the idea of using consumables =(.

Not really viable but still technically correct, keep them at max range and use a wand. :D

Works with hunters as well.

Also, is Volley still a thing? Toggling on Volley would face a hunter at it's current target in Legion.

my hunter does turn with iwt

They should only do this when out of range of their target.

[Moorea]

well he also does it in melee range (or maybe because of ctm?)

Survival hunter?

I should have specified in my first reply, no my hunter is BM (somewhat obviously in my mixed team)

going to retest this to confirm

Hunters turn when they're:

A) Outside of auto-shoot range
B) In melee range

Otherwise, they do nothing.

I'm with Jabberie, though, as I feel B is somewhat new behavior with everyone talking about how Survival Hunters weren't useful in melee range.

EDIT: Actually, I think they've always turned while in melee range, it's just that they don't run toward their target outside of auto-shoot range, which is what makes them much less desirable as a melee-focused class.

This is the range required to get a hunter to turn face with IWT. I might consider adding them to the melee ATG as well.

This is why I HIGHLY recommend at least one melee for every group. So that the melee can guide the ranged with follow.

I have two follow keys. Follow master and follow melee. So long as they are reasonably close it works well.

Most of the time if I have them follow the tank they turn back towards the mobs ish. If not, I back them up (back arrow).
