How Do I: Follow and Drop Follow In Combat?
Posted: Wed Jul 31, 2013 3:26 pm
I'm new to multiboxing and until I saw MiRai's recent video (MultiBoxing with MiRai - EP00) I had only done questing with my 3-man team. While questing I found driving my disc priest worked best. When my warrior tank charged in it would break follow and my priest and destro warlock would hang back and burn down the mob. But MiRai convinced me to try dungeons.
In dungeons with many multiple mob pulls I realized that I would need to be driving the tank so that I could run around and pick up adds. It was easy to set everything up before the pull but after the pull the ranged guys would get turned around, or stand in fire, etc.
I have follow bound to a G-key and when I see that the ranged guys need to move I hit follow. Dropping follow is problematic in combat. What I'd like is a way to bind a formation command to one of my G-keys.
I tried adding a mapped key to the "Combat Hot Keys" map, but couldn't figure out how to make one that would create an action that would send a formation command to the other slots. I noticed that the formation commands are on the non-combat map. Is that my problem?
How do other people that are driving the tank move the other toons out of fire? If my idea is good, can you describe how to add a formation command to the Combat Hot Keys map? (Please explain it for a 5 year old.) How else could I solve this problem?
(I posted here because my configuration is a "Pro" configuration.)
Thank you.
