Too good to be true?

[Ualaa]

I don't have any issues with my all Hunter team, as far as IWT with a hostile mob that I'm not facing.
And I don't have any form of unique set up for the Hunters.

In the Toolkit, the Hunters IWT exactly the same as every other team.
They're not in my "Melee ATG" (Action Target Group), so don't receive IWT as I spam my DPS key.
But if I push my manual IWT key, they do turn (the same as my Caster teams) towards the hostile and auto shoot it.

I remember Hunters having a few unique settings within the Warcraft interface.
And having some kind of an issue.
I didn't want them to auto assist and auto shoot, a new target... which was initially an issue with them.
But whatever my settings are, the Hunters act exactly the same as Warlocks, Priests, Elemental Shaman, Boomkins, etc, as far as IWT/CTM goes.

Hmmmm.....

I press my IWT keybind, and my Hunter turns towards the mob and starts to shoot it.

...or....

Hunters are the exception to the rules because they are the only class who's "autoattack" is always ranged.

I don't know which to believe. I read the thread and it seems pretty settled hunters can't do it, but if Ualaa figured something out I'd be interested in knowing what makes it work. So would all the other people out there who think it won't work on hunters.

I don't see any additional hunter options in the game options. Attack on Assist and Stop Autoattack are both listed as generic options. No matter what I set up, if I'm facing at a 90° or less angle from the target, they will attack with IWT, but any greater and they will not, unless they are far enough away from the target that they need to run into shooting range. If you've got other settings changed somewhere, that'd be very useful to know.

i looked back over my hunter team settings, and on the pvp setup for them the iwt key also sends down arrow as a second step with ctm ON. hunters default atk is still melee, if you have ctm on and u hit iwt, they will run to it. (unless something has changed in past month or so) so the down arrow as step 2 breaks the movement, but still allows iwt/ctm to turn them, sometimes they really are turned even though the camera doesnt reflect it. once u put them in motion again the camera will "spin" sometimes

Also found this during a search

If it doesn't work, it may be a bug, but I haven't found anything from a blue on it. So you may have to use a workaround anyway.

I was mistaken...

Just played my Hunter team, for the Grizzly Hills dailies.
If they're close to 90° to the target, they do turn towards the target with an IWT.
But they won't turn towards the hostile if they're more than 90° away from the target.

Have a video of the run.
And at the end the settings that my Hunters use.

I drive as heals and yes, it is far better.


Pros:
No broadcast latency.
No grid
No clique
Better eyes on area, not up a monster's behind.

Cons:
Melee run offs
Requires more maps for the important peels/abilities of melee who aren't drivers.


I put up with the setup because quite honestly, broadcast healing is horrible. I found it to be truly unreliable even on a very good piece of hardware.

I broadcast heal and have for years and it works beautifully. My broadcast healing is as reliable in multiboxing as it was soloboxing a healer, and I don't now, nor have I ever used a healing mod like Grid or Clique. All it is is HotKeyNet and mouseover regions. I know the same things can be done with ISBoxer via VideoFX or Clickbars.

Driving from the healer is always an option, but there's many, many users who run the healer as a slave with no issues.

If you've not seen it, or maybe it's just my hardware not being up to snuff, there is a good half a second when you move your cursor over a broadcast region that it takes to appear on the slave window.

To me, that half a second is life or death in an intense PvP or PvE encounter. Sending what you thought was a heal that went into that abyss of a half second can be a wipe easily.

I don't even see my mouse leave my screen, even when I use ground-target AOE on all 5 windows. In exceedingly heavy combat, I might see my cursor flicker, but it's still instantaneous.

You can also use mock mouseover where you don't actually send your mouse to the other window. You simply set up a region where moving or clicking your mouse at X,Y sends a keypress only to the slave and the keypress triggers a hardcoded macro. That is what I use for dealing with procs.
