Fixing the melee IWT runaway problem

[Undeadlord]

There is a serious problem with this kind of IWT.

Yes the characters no longer run away if you spam the key and they are on melee range from the mob, however if you spam it when they are far away from the mob (chasing, switching, pulling) then the characters move in a stutter step manner or like they are frozen (freeze/move freeze/move etc.) This makes switching/chasing very very slow but also sometimes they don't turn but keep stutter stepping towards the side they look and they fall off bridges or ninja pull accidentally. This problem doesn't happen if you click the key only once when far away from the mob but this isn't as easy as it looks because you may have one of your characters on melee range who may need to cast abilities before your other characters arrive. It makes tanking very hard. It wasn't so bad until now because I played from healer pov and I didn't have to tank, so it was manageable although still annoying. As a tank I'm thinking to go back to following because I have to switch and chase all the time. I can't afford to wait for the other melees to arrive in order to spam the key, neither I can check if they move towards the wrong side so that I stop spamming.

Don't get me wrong, it's much much better than the original IWT or following and I grinded many levels easily with my warriors thanks to it but it still cause some headaches especially during the end-game where proper tanking is needed. Any idea how can I fix this problem when spamming the key and the characters are far away from the mob? I'm using the same setup as Jabberie.

Hopefully you understand the problem that I describe, I'm not a native English speaker so It's hard to describe it properly. Let's just call this problem "freezing movement problem".

Is this for Classic or Retail?

If this is in Retail, it almost sounds like you have a multi-step keybind, where step 1 is doing IWT and step two is doing something to interfere unless you wait long enough for it to reset.

The IWT/CTM used in Classic seems different. I don't multibox right now to test but solo the CTM part seems odd and this fix may not work for Classic.

It is for classic. I also use a gnomesequencer macro in this keybind that includes startattack. I don't think that's the problem though.

The fix works fine when in melee range, it just cause some issues when far away but not so terrible ones. I don't think a melee 5box setup would be playable without it. Following is so bad and the standar iwt unplayable.
