Possible? Macro broadcast for each slave to select a different target?

Can do.
Can do (just tab twice instead of once)
NOPE. Blizzard does not allow you to "detect" status/DOT effects on a target anymore.

About the best you're gonna get along those lines would be to have the characters press tab a different number of times at the beginning. This is also somewhat iffy as tab-targeting only works if something is in your frontal arc of about 80 degrees or slightly less than what you can actually see on the screen. This is also impacted by whether you have toons looking in the exact same direction and the same camera angles/zoom.

You could possibly do something where you set up different focus targets on each toon before every fight and then have a step macro that would target+assist in order with everyone switching to the focus target of each slot in a rotation but that will again require some pre-fight setup -- it won't work for the "run into a spot and just start blowing up all the things" use case. It will also be pretty rough in terms of lag-target-swapping delays.

After researching, I might just have to tab target with one slave and have the other dot caster dot the same target.

When it comes to multi-tabbing, I found that I can create a keybind for each character that tells them to wand or dot a target or the next target.

I can set up an external macro on my keyboard that will then press tab once, use the keybind, then tab again and use the keybind.
I can further hone this by assigning a keybind to a action target group. That causes my other two characters to each focus their own target. When I add that to the keyboard macro the process goes.


Pally - target another mob in a different group
Mage - target a fourth mob.
Lock - target 1, cast got
Priest - target 2, cast dot
PLock - target 3,
Priest, Target 3 or 4 ( depends on vicinity of mob)
Lock - target Pallies target - cast dot
Priest - target mages target - cast dot

Then proceed to follow the main ( pally) and regroup.

From there I bubble the mage and begin to AoE spam while casting heals with the pally.

Complicated, and only being used for levels 14-20, but it does the job with one main button press.

Just to be clear, if you're pressing a key one time and it's performing a sequence of key presses without additional input from you, then that's considered automation and is against the rules of the game.

Hmm, I didn't even think about that. Good to know

On my team of mages I use Focus for Polymorph - Every one has his own target/focus key

Focus:

/clearfocus
/focus
/stopmacro [help]
/clearfocus
/stopmacro [noexist] [dead]
/focus
/run SetRaidTarget("focus",0);
/run SetRaidTarget("focus",5);
/e is targeting %t for Polymorph.


Polymorph:

#showtooltip Polymorph
/stopcasting
/Use [combat] Presence of Mind
/Use [@focus] Polymorph

I didn't think focus was working in classic. I also didn't specify that this was for classic though.
