How to setup CC-ing

[Leovindica]

Littleburst, I'm trying to implement this but I'm having probs to get it to work, what is your setup? Buttons/keybindings etc? I must be missing something simple

Char1:

Alt 1
/cast focus
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 1)

Shift X
/cast [@focus] Hex

Char2:

alt 2
/assist mainchar
/focus
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 2)


Shift X
/cast [@focus] Hex

Char3:
alt 3:
/assist mainchar
/focus
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 3)

Shift X
/cast [@focus] Hex

Char4:

alt 4:
/assist mainchar
/focus
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 4)

Shift X
/cast [@focus] Hex

So while on mainchar, i cycle through 4 mobs, pressing alt 1- 4. Each character marks his/her focus target. Which is AWESOME. Since it's very easy to see who's CCing what, if they might be out of range due to a NPC standing a bit to the back. When you cycle to fast and the slaves didn't pick up the new target, you'll notice that 2 chars have the same focus, since a marked mob will get a new mark.

I get what you describe here but this is what it does for me.

I target a mob, press alt 1, nothing happens. I switch to the char and press alt 1, then it works.. Seems like the alt 1 press isn't send to the slave. When I've done that for multiple chars I want to shift X for the cast (poly/root/hex..), it isn't send to the others, when I set repeater 'on' and press shift X, then it works.. But that's not how I want it to work obviously

@Leovindica

for my setup there are three keys involved per shaman:
each shaman has a focus macro keybound to numpad delete.

/assist leader
/focus

each shaman has a hex keybind (ctrl-v)

/cast [@focus,exists,nodead][] hex;

and a bind elemental keybind (shift-v)

/cast [@focus,exists,nodead][] bind elemental

in isboxer I setup 4 mapped keys (f9, f10, f11, f12) which are each 1 step and consist of two actions:

f9:
step-
--actions:
num del -> sham 1
alt+num 1 -> self (raid target icon)

f10:
step-
--actions:
num del -> sham 2
alt+num 2 -> self (raid target icon)

f11:
step-
--actions:
num del -> sham 3
alt+num 3 -> self (raid target icon)

f12:
step-
--actions:
num del -> sham 4
alt+num 4 -> self (raid target icon)


Prep for pulls in PvE then looks something like: Target NPC1, tap f9, target npc2, hit f10. target npc3 hit f11 etc.

On pull ctrl-v or shift-v tosses out the binds/hexs

This setup also looks quite nice, I'm still a beginner concerning IS, could you show me a screenie of your ISB setup of one of the F9/10/11/12 steps pls? A visual always helps me understand better

Did you add the binds to the ISboxer keymaps? Seems like that's the problem. You can also active broadcast all for a second to test it, then add the keymap later on.

[Leovindica]

I did it

Read your and Dorffo's post a few times and took a long look at the ISB suite and then it sank in Killed my two first bosses MBing ever Thaks for your input ppl, I love this website and its members

I have my CC spells bound to numpad 7 and 8 (hex on 7, bind elemental on 8 for the shammies)
I do select the target for the CC manually on each char, and walk them into range.
With the tank I select the mob who's going down at first.
Then I press numpad7 to hex those 4 mobs at the same time.
Spam assist button, make sure the dpsers are all targetting the same non-CCed mob, and kill it asap.
Works pretty good so far, annoying big groups in fe VP HC go down in one go.

I am trying too CC 3 mobs at once, 4 mages in total only 3 ccing.
new to this so rest of this thread has lost me so i tried the one I am quoting which seems easiest to me.

What i did was all mages have keybind set too numberpad 1 thats what I selected for sheeping

I manually moved them up into position, selected on each one their target too cc and when i press numpad1 only that mage i am on will sheep others do not. what am i doing ?

All this focus, and so forth is very new to me so thats why I tried too cc the way that poster said he did.
