IWT mixed groups are fun

[ANG853]

I have learned some new things practicing for WoW classic. I think I might end up with a druid AND a paladin so I can switch tanks if needed for certain bosses. Ill bring a priest to heal when needed. A mage for food/portals/dps and a lock for summonsing. This mixed party also has some cool synergy and buffs.

ISboxer is very powerful. I can use it to do things ezmode. tab target main window, ALT G to IWT or even just use its auto assist or auto IWT, spam some dps/threat/heal all in one button with action dependent on the characters class keybinding, IWT to loot, ALT F to follow AND then repeat. I am considering leaving loot behind to run dungeons faster.

Second, IWT works, there is even a video on how to prevent runaways. This keeps sending my druid in smashing things with staff haha.

and third I can use mages blizzard or warlocks hellfire or other targeted aoe with /target [@player]. this is an old trick that I just now learned


Nothing novel that I am posting but just wanted to share the FUN factor with a little practice is very cool.

Thanks, ANG

Do you drive from your tank? If so what buttons are you pressing to keep aggro AND dps from your slaves? Can you give me an idea of how the average pull goes?

Edit: I'm doing a lot of reading up. Basically for every move I use on the warrior, I need to have the main damaging spell linked on my mages/warlock. Then have specific keys bound for round robin sheep or a curse. Healing is the one I'm tryin gto get my head round, presumably I just bind certain keys to heal the leader/slaves.

I think most of us use key binds for DPS and tanking rotations and click heal via addons to control healing. The amount of hotkeys you'd need to manage 5+ keybinds for each healing spell you want to use (not to mention spell ranks in classic) would get obnoxious if you tried to bind all of them.

I like ElvUI with Clique myself. ElvUI is great for being able to easily manage things like sorting raid frames by name and importing your UI layout pixel perfectly across all of your characters so you can click heal effectively. For example, with my paladin I use left click to holy light rank 4, right click to flash of light. Mouse wheel up to freedom, mouse wheel down to cleanse and so on. Then I have CTRL+Shift bound to one of the thumb buttons on my Naga mouse so I can use CTRL+Shift + left click and so on for the spells I use less often like DI or LoH.

It takes a while to get used to but it's a lot faster than trying to manage 20something keybinds. Then I have my single target DPS and tanking rotation on 1 and my AE rotation on 2 as ISBoxer keymaps to manage various castsequences and such. Debuffs like demoralizing shout I have on individual hotkeys since they need to be managed separately.

All in all I have around 6-8 actual hotkeys I press regularly during combat (plus mouse clicks) and then another dozen or so I use infrequently like my mount hotkey, hearthstone, etc. The idea is to do as much as possible with as few keys as possible. If you build a setup requiring dozens of key presses you're going to give yourself RSI.

MiRai actually has quite a few instructional videos on how to set up most of the useful ISBoxer features like repeater regions and such.
