    I can't answer all of your questions, but the silly tango your toons do is generally caused by the way IWT works.

    Basically, if you tell your slaves to IWT with a target, and that target moves, even in the slightest, the game engine has told those characters to keep moving in X direction until they hit that mob, so if your tank accidentally turns and slightly moves an enemy, after you have told your slaves to attack it, they will probably run off.

    It's a fine art, but I find the old "follow active character" function in is boxer helps as it makes them come to you (however that's with 5 melée)

    For one, ALL of the toons run after the target. Not the one's that are in the ATG.
    You didn't make use of the ATG correctly, then. The only way this can happen is if you send the IWT key to all of your toons.

    Two, what's with the circle jerk at the end? Is that normal? They totally go spastic!
    I just explained this to someone yesterday on isboxer.com, so here's that: http://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2909#p2909

    Three, it seems to target last target, when I head to the next mob. Causing my main and slaves to do this dance between the current and last target. They do this, pretty little line dance and go back and forth, before heading to the last target *most* of the time.
    I THINK this is relevant (unless you put in a /targetlasttarget in your config), I had this conversation with someone in the ISBoxer chat room yesterday:
    [16:13] <Lax> when you select a target (one of your guys, or a mob), the client has to tell the server, and then the server has to tell your other clients. until it tells the other clients, /assist will pick up your previous target
    [16:14] <Lax> so there's a delay about the length of your ping, between you targeting something and when the other clients can pick it up with /assist
    [16:20] <traest> that reminds me, when I'm fighting mobs, I can target a mob and fire (same spell on all 5, nothing special) and then target another mob and do the same spell (again, nothing special and I'm not fat fingering or spamming or clicking and then a split second later, firing, I give it a sec) and some of my guys will still want to fire on the previous mob
    [16:20] <traest> so is this the same thing that you're talking about above?
    [16:21] <Lax> yep
    [16:22] <traest> so that is really a lag issue?
    [16:22] <Lax> yep basically
    [16:22] <traest> bummer
    [16:24] <traest> would ftl help with issue?
    [16:25] <Lax> nope it's still using /assist
    [16:25] <Lax> the only way around it is to hack the client and i'm not about to suggest that
    Also, usually you don't want CTM enabled on your main -- it would be quite annoying for him to move automatically. This is the recommended method of using Interact with Target: http://isboxer.com/wiki/WoW:Quick_St...tion_with_NPCs. To use your ATG, in Step 8 where it says to send it to All w/ Current, use "Group(all of):<your ATG>" instead. The default IWT turns on CTM as needed on the windows it needs to be on in (all but the main window), so including the current window in the IWT will make your main interact but NOT move. Tthis is the most desirable behavior -- if you're close enough to an NPC you will open the dialog with your team, etc.

    If you have IWT attached to your DPS keys, you're going to forever watch your guys run in circles. I recommend just having an easy to hit hotkey instead and use it as needed. Personally while I'm in combat my left hand rests on Follow,Assist,DPS keys, with IWT directly above Assist, and rapping my hand on all of those (to spam whichever are needed) is pretty natural. I don't use IWT all that often compared to normal autofollow. I also use a toggle that switches which characters are sent both my Follow and my IWT (same ATG), so I can hit my toggle and use autofollow or IWT freely.

    Cheers Lax, fixed a couple things with a new toolkit by clearing the settings in ISB, but the target last target issue is still happening.

    The only thing I changed with the toolkiit was adding F5-F9 to select slaves

    Setting IWT Key to Ctrl - F

    And then setup Ualaa's guide.
