Target Rotation Macro

[Gloss]

This should work if you have a bit of lag ie if they dont change target too fast, then all 3 droods should cast on the otherones target. Of course once cast the targets have now swapped. You'll have to manually target 3 seperate targets before hand though.

then u can just spam the cyclone button.

drooda
/cast [target=droodb-target] cyclone

droodb
/cast [target=droodc-target] cyclone

droodc
/cast [target=drooda-target] cyclone

This may be more along the lines of what I'll have to do. Perhaps just make

• "g" cyclone your target
  "alt-g" cyclone your right-friend's target
  "ctrl-g" cyclone your left-friend's target.

With a little intelligence to make sure the target is still alive, that could be quite a good and robust system.

By the way, I'm not sure, but I believe diminishing returns are based on a certain type of effect, rather than a spellcaster. So if you cyclone with one druid, and a second druid cyclones the same target, you will still get diminishing returns.

Oh that would make me very sad. Can anyone comment on that? I know it's not a purely multi-boxing issue, but if that's true, I've got a tremendous hurdle to overcome.

I'm sad now. I should almost undoubtedly switch to Shaman now.
/cast Tear Absorbant Totem

The temptation for me to go horde to save on TBC then roll a 3rd as a shaman is massive from reading these boards lol

Try

GlobalMacro1
/target Party1Target
/focus

D1.LocalKeyBinding (pass thru keys)
D1.Ctrl+1 = GlobalMacro1
D1.Ctrl+2 = no action
D1.Ctrl+3 = no action
D1.Ctrl+4 = LocalMacro1

D2.LocalKeyBinding
D2.Ctrl+1 = no action
D2.Ctrl+2 = GlobalMacro1
D2.Ctrl+3 = no action
D2.Ctrl+4 = LocalMacro1

D3.LocalKeyBinding
D3.Ctrl+1 = no action
D3.Ctrl+2 = no action
D3.Ctrl+3 = GlobalMacro1
D3.Ctrl+4 = LocalMacro1


That should set up your Pre-macro requirement of:
D1 -> T1
D2 -> T2
D3 -> T3


When you're ready to rotate targets, Press Ctrl+4

D1.LocalMacro1
/assist Party1

D2.LocalMacro1
/target Party2FocusTarget
/focus target

D3.LocalMacro1
/target Party1FocusTarget
/focus target

Post-macro
D1 -> T2
D2 -> T3
D3 -> T1

You would then have to manually setfocus on your current target after Ctrl+4

Since I have a main tank in my group that is always the leader, I use Party1 instead of having everyone setfocus on the main tank.

DruidA:

/target focustarget
/Targetenemy
/cast Cyclone

Druid B:

/cleartarget
/Targetenemy 1
/cast Cyclone

Druid C:

/cleartarget
/Targetenemy
/cast Cyclone


Targetenemy works like tab, targetenemy 1 works like reverse tab. Sadly you can only do this once in each macro click.

So what this will do:

first druid will CC the next furthest target from your focus's target.
second druid will CC the furthest target that is in range.
third druid will just target the nearest target in range.

You could end up with double CC's here, or attempting to CC your focus target by accident but then again you may not.

So in this case you'd CC up to 3 targets in front of you.... if they're not in LoS then it'll just CC what i can get.

and yeah, diminishing returns exists, here's some info:

<from 2.3 patch notes under rogue header>
Blind is now a physical (no longer a poison) attack. Reagent requirement removed. Now shares the same diminish category as Cyclone and is now diminished in PvE as well as PvP.

<wowwiki page on diminishing returns, great info>
http://www.wowwiki.com/Diminishing_returns

<Addon that will track when cyclone can be used to full effect again>
Chronometer
Nature Enemy Castbar


Basically what this means however is that your first cyclone will last 6 seconds, 2nd 3 seconds, and finally 1.5 seconds. but that's only if you don't stack some other class spell that shares the diminishing return timer of cyclone such as rogue: Blind. Regardless of which druid does the actual casting.
