Trigger Specific Slave Ability
I know about Round-Robin and it works fine for when I'm 5x of the same class.
Right now I'm trying to box 5x different classes. For the most part, I have a GSE macro on mousescroll-up and the dps rotation is fine.
However, I want to have some way to trigger a specific slave to use an ability (without swapping the current window). The ways I've determined to do this:
1) Setup a hotkey for each slave (i.e shift+1 to broadcast '1' for slot 2, alt+1 to broadcast '1' to slot3, etc or some other mod+key to send a key to a specific slot)
2) Use a repeater region. I already have it for clique and my heal slave, setup a region perslave so I could just move the mouse into a region and trigger an ability for that slave either via clique or a keypress (while blocking the key press to current window / other slaves)
3) Toggle - setup a hotkey toggle per slot and action group to add/remove that slot. For example if i were to use F1-F5, if I press F5, slot 5 would be added to some action group and the hotkeys / broadcast would be setup so only slot 5 would recieve the broadcast.
(3) is similar to (1) . (1) seems better for a single action while (3) seems better if I'm going to need to send multiple actions to the slave. (2) requires mouse movement and may not be great if I want to select a new target than have a specific slot# perform an action on that target while all the other slaves stay on the current target (i.e have the mage poly morph and then have a paladin stun)
I'm looking to see if there is another better or ways to improve these. I'm leaning towards (3), I can bind each toggle to some hotkey and use my mouse to trigger the hotkey, then I can have that slave perform a series of actions then toggle back to the master (while staying on the mast screen). A key note, the keys/hotkeys that'll be related to this toggle action will be seperate than the current hotkey I use to perform my various GSE macros for dps/tank rotations.
