CC Symbol (Moon) - Target/ Select target based on Symbol

[Acidburning]

Been searching around and I feel this is a noob question, but here it goes anyways.

I drive with my healer. I use mouseover focus for who I need to direct heal.
As I think to classic, I want to improve my dungeon CC capability. Either that is with a mage/ sheep or a pally and repentance, don't matter.

How do you guys achieve this? Everything I have searched for does not allow any targeting of the various symbols (skull, cross, moon, etc.)
Sure, you can target a mob and assign a symbol. But I can't incorporate something like /target {moon} for dedicated CC.

My only other thought is focus target a target. Assign it a symbol, have my other character place that targeted focus target as their focus. Then with my healer focus a different target (or clear focus). But now, that other CC character has a focus. Then use a macro CC for focus.

Is this how you do it?

Sorry, I have just never CC'd. Everything has been brute force.

A really nice system MiRai had in his rework of the proconfig was the CC menu.

A thought might be to set that menu up to pop up, with a collection of all your CC.
When you mouse over, it sets focus on 1 character and maybe a marker for good measure.

I have an even better solution coming in the (hopefully) near-ish future.

Let's go with "Soonerino" from the above chart.

Nice. My current team is back on Kilrogg. All I do right now is login once a week to kill the world boss, lol.
I am starting to prepare for Classic and want to get a new setup dialed in.

The CC chain you are looking to setup is it restrictive to the target type? Ex: Humanoid, Elemental vs Humanoid, Humanoid, etc?

I ask as you could round robin a CC Focus hotkey and then have another hotkey round robin CC target.

On my setup I have 6 bindings. I'm left handed so these binds are all in my configuration to the right side of the keyboard but something like this could work for you.

"[" = Interrupt Focus
"]" = Interrupt Target
"ALT + [" = CC Focus Humanoid
"ALT + ]" = CC Target Humanoid
"SHIFT + [" = CC Focus Elemental
"SHIFT + ]" = CC Target Elemental

I am updating mine to also include a taunt or some other stuff with "CTRL + [" and "CTRL + ]". This will also include an Action Target Group where anyone who can taunt for example would be in taunt ATG. Anyone who can CC an Elemental say with Banish will be included in that ATG. Anyone who can interrupt will be in the interrupt ATG, etc.

Ingame the keybinds are the same. So in Isboxer I'm just sending the same keystroke to the client that I press on the keyboard. The distinction being with Isboxer overlay it's sending the keystrokes round robin to the appropriate ATG. Because the in game clients per character are configured for their appropriate spellcasts I don't need to do anything really complicated outside of the game.

I personally do not like mouse cursor interactions. It's just not feasible for some of the content where time is short.
