setting up CC in isboxer

[Toned]

What is the advantage of an action target group round robin when I play 5 mages all of the same spec? I guess only when I was to replace 1 of the toons for a tank or healer so the round robin would not iterate through tank/healer?

I don't really like the random approach. One of the things I really want as a boxer is (try) to be in total control of what my toons do, including cc. I've tied some of my earlier steps together and have a just 5 buttons on the G13, 1 for each toon. Can easily swap in 1 class for another without having to change macro's or setup. Really got the hang of it now after running some dungeons and it does the job for me the way I want/like.

Cheers for all feedback

Double check the wow API I believe they nerfed it so it only executes the /targetnearestyenemy once regardless of how many you stack. If you are pressing that and getting cc's it's random luck based off positioning.
I'll do some testing again, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was one of the cata API changes. Also Randomness isn't that great all the time

There isn't something for your slaves to focus the target of the current window

There isn't something by the default cookie cutter setup correct, but you can get as generic and flexible as you want with some crafty macros and ISBoxer knowledge.

[Ualaa]

To a degree.

Toon A picks a target and makes it their focus, possibly with a focus mouse-over macro.
Toon A never actually targets their chosen focus.

Toon B has not clue which one Toon A set as their focus.
There is no macro command to figure out what Toon A set.
Toon B cannot even tell that Toon A has a focus set.

If you want Toon B to do something with Toon A's focus, Toon A will have to target it.
Even if the targeting is brief...
Toon B can do something at the Target of Toon A, which might be their focus too.
But they'll never actually use macro/mapped key language, cast at [target= The Focus Set by Someone Else].

You could definitely have Toon A's focus as CC option1.
Briefly have Toon A target it, the CC toon cast whatever, and have Toon A clear their target.
Not saying you cannot take advantage of setting various focus targets on assorted toons.

I think you're both on the same page but there's a slight miscommunication

"There isn't something for your slaves to focus the target of the current window" -- Toned is correct in pointing out that you can /focus the "target of the current window". The Quick Setup 38 macro set (from the Quick Setup Wizard in ISBoxer 38) includes this gem:

/clearfocus
/focus {FTL}
/focus [@focustarget]

It should work fine given a proper Key Combination (it doesn't have one assigned by default)

And Ualaa is correct in responding that nobody but Toon A can determine Toon A's Focus Target. The quote just didn't say Focus Target.

Ya, you lost me I wasn't sure where you were going. Lax basically posted exactly what I do. Focus the target of the Current window. I know you have zero visability at other characters focus.

[Ualaa]

Current Window = the active toon.

The active toon (Toon A) can target its own focus.
But Toon A, has no clue who Toon B has set as their focus... unless Toon B targets their own focus.

[Toned]

Ya I'll just end the thread I understand what you were saying, but wasn't sure if the tangent you went on was because of me posting my FTL focus on the Current Window / Active toon's target. If that got telephoned into me saying I was setting focuses/targeting base off the Current Window's Focus.
