    Default Sequence ISBoxer Keypress(1->2->3) Or?

    So, as i'm looking around on the forum, i'm doing some thinking regarding my Death Knights + Paladin setup, I've noticed that i'm doing BETTER in PvP, but i've also realized that theres alot of excessive looping around my targets when i'm doing my button mashing(I've got it down, but yeah).

    For example, I'll start off with my Howling Blasts, move into my Outbreak, whatever sequence i'm doing, i'll have that pause to use my mousewheel up(set focus) and use my "2" key to heal that focus(Macro posted by Ualaa) or my "3" key.

    While i am also doing a scroll mouse wheel up, I'll still be trying to button mash my sequences(individual attacks, but in order, kind of)..So there is a pause between those two actions, again. Mouse wheel up and hitting my cast heal macro, while also still mashing out Death Knight abilities. Are there any Frost DK macros out there for 4.1, Preferably castsequence?

    My thoughts were, is it possible to for example, Hit key 1 for FTL DPS, Then that advances to a different step to continue my sequence of attacks i would use on my Death Knights.

    All in all, i just want a easier way of using my Death Knight abilities, which are keys "1" through "=" and " Shift + 1" through "Shift + 8".....Along with ALT + 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 /5, With use of my Paladins keys at the same time. If i have confused anyone, this is a rough idea of what i do when i engage someone in PvP.

    I will mouse over a toon in my grid setup, and MOUSE WHEEL UP, it will then set my focus to that toon, which at that point all my healing macros are directed to that focus. If i mouse wheel down, that will clear focus.

    My healing macros are on action key 2 and 3, 1 is Judgement, everything else on the main actionbar is empty except "-" for Human racial ability(Same on Death Knights).

    After i have done my focus setting on my paladin, The rest is running down my attacks, Primarily starting off with Outbreak(Diseases), Obliterate, Howling Blast, Frost Strike, Occasionally Necrotic strike for those pesky pocket healers, etc. all of those keys are on keys 1 through =.

    While all of is this is happening(key presses between paladin focus / healing) and death knight abilities. Theres always a time where the death knights get too much loop between attacks(Interact with Target and Click to Move button mashing against a target) and they get too far away from the target, because of me kind of paying attention to setting focus via mouse over. I would like to be able to minimize the huge loop or delay between the two actions, (healing and dps'ing). If not kind of put it all together better then what i have done.

    I have a feeling i have typed or explained too much then what i really would have needed. But i guess this helps give a idea of what is happening.

    Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

    I basically mash one of three keys, although the first two are used a lot more than the third.

    When I spam 1.
    That is the hotkey for the first mapped key.
    It outputs:
    - FTL Assist
    - Interact With Target
    - Do Mapped Key > Mind Freeze every 2.5 seconds
    - Howling Blast > Frost Strike > Necrotic Strike priority sequence...

    When I spam "2".
    - Similar to "1", except its Obliterate > Frost Strike as the priority sequence...

    I don't have to manually push the DPS keys.
    So I have less control than someone who manually chooses which abilities to use and when.
    But at the same time, I can mash one of three keys, getting: Howling Blast, Obliterate or Death Strike rotations.
    With Mind Freeze, IWT, Assist, etc done for me, by the mapped key already set.
    My Obliterate has an Outbreak built into it, so I don't have to manage that; when I push "2" (which is my Obliterate mapped key hotkey), it will Outbreak once from one of the DK's.

    My Paladin has the spam focus heals on keys "1" and "2".
    But the Paladin receives "1" on press, and "2" on release for all three of my spam keys.
    The macros on those keys require focus to exist, or they do nothing.
    If I set a focus (scroll wheel up), then spamming my DPS causes the Focus to be spam healed too.

    In practice, my mouse is used for selecting targets for the DK's.
    And for setting/clearing focus on my Grid frame.
    Also for moving the active toon (Paladin).
    I have a mouse side button for FTL Follow Me, which is used occasionally too.
    I have the option for mouse based healing over the Grid frame, but only use that when there isn't a lot of pressure.

    How do you do the sequences? /castsecqence macros or something else?

    Priority... not really a sequence.

    On down, which occurs before up.
    If its off of the GCD, and the runes are available...
    I will Howling Blast.

    So Howling Blast has higher priority than anything else.

    If I'm on a GCD, or Howling Blast could not fire off on the down press.
    Then we move on to the release.
    Which tries to do Howling Blast, Frost Strike, Frost Strike or Necrotic Strike.
    There's a higher chance for a Frost Strike than a Necrotic Strike.

    So the priority is Howling Blast, Frost Strike, Necrotic Strike.

    Priority system might be a better term than Priority Sequence.
