    **EDIT - Turns out my post is just a rehash of Uulaa's above post. Anyways, TLDR - Don't use /castsequence w/ comma macros for Round Robin if you are using a software multiboxing solution.


    If you are using ANY software boxing solution, there are better ways to "round-robin" abilities then using /castsequence with commas.

    ISBoxer allows you to create a hotkey with a Step for each character, having the Hotkey's Reset = the Cooldown of the ability. Each step will point to a different WoW session.

    KeyClone has the Round Robin option.

    AutoHotkey allows you to set up Re-Use Timers and If-Then statements, directing Hotkeys to different windows on successive presses, and Reseting this behaviour after a set amount of time (The Cooldown of the spell).

    HotkeyNet has the same functionality as AutoHotkey.

    This is NOT the same as Delays. You are simply causing the keystroke to become inactive until the Re-Use Timer has expired.

    In any of these setups, you don't need to have a macro for the ability on Round Robin (unless you desire to for other purposes). Just slap the ability straight onto the Hotbar.

    So, don't use /castsequence with commas. Reasons?
    - If Toon A's ability doesn't go off for some reason, Toon B's ability with queue up beacuse you've pressed the Hotkey and the comma was expended. Next press will have both toons use the ability at the same time (waste in most cases).
    - The Reset option inherent in WoW Macros will not act from the first keypress (which is what you want), and in most cases just messes up your round-robin.
    - You need to waste a macro slot for /castsequence round-robins.
