Breaking follow?

[Parely]

Hi!

So I'm 5 man boxing for the first time now on the classic release, and I'm doing it live! set up everything just before with Mirais video guides and straight up went in. Server just dropped off a bit so I'm writing this

So far I think I'm doing quite well, getting used to the binds, I changed them to more comfortable combinations for myself. My team is Paladin Priest and 3 Mages.

The only issue I've ran into so far is that I have no idea how to easily break follow? This might sound stupid, but I'm just running up to a mob with my group and then start casting in melee, since if I start casting before then my slaves will cancel when my main moves towards the mob and gets too far from then since follow is still on.

What I figured is that is that I could turn repeater on, hit a movement key to break follow, and turn repeater off before I start killing. Thats quite a lot and complicated for someone just starting out, thats why I moved the keybinds to easier places.

Is there any easier way I'm not thinking about? How are you guys dealing with this?

I just use the formation hotkey to break follow. Its much easier this way :)
ISboxer is truly an awesome program. There are so many things you could do with it.

My approach is to binding a key to strafe left or right on each of my 5 characters. This key is bound to a non standard key for each character. When I press that, follow breaks

I take that a step further and have 1 slave go left, 1 right with a key press, then 2 move left and 2 move left with a different key. Doing this, with 2 key presses, my 4 slaves spread out.
