Trouble with Melee Group

First off, I apologize because I know this is apparently a common question and hopefully I can show that I've done some due diligence in trying to find an answer, but still have problems.

What I want to do:
I'm playing WoW dual-boxing a prot warrior, assassin rogue - chain running low level dungeons for quick/easy xp
When I attack with one of the warrior's spammable attacks, I want the rogue to auto-IWT to the warrior's current target

I have an IWT hotkey/keybind set as described in many of the quick start videos/articles. Since low-level dungeons are basically AoE zerg-fests, I find myself swapping targets all the time (as they die so quicly) and I'm constantly spamming my IWT hotkey (instead of more attack buttons) in order to keep my rogue attacking SOMETHING.

From various searches in the forums, I know the answer is to tie my rogue's IWT keybind into a button(s) that I'm constantly hitting on the warrior. Every time I hit that key on the warrior, the rogue will auto-IWT the warrior's target and can start attacking. The method to do this is described by Ualaa in these posts:

My problem comes in trying to follow the steps in the second post as some of the steps no longer exist in the latest ISBoxer build. For example, from the second post I linked, after a few initial steps, I'm supposed to

Modify your existing DPS Keys: DPS 1, DPS 2, DPS 3 and DPS 4.
After the FTL Assist Me, (before or after the Send "x" to all windows... does not matter for this part), include a "Do Mapped Key" Action.
So they will still be one Step.
The extra action is:
- Do Mapped Key: Melee IWT, Target: Group (all of) Melee.
As in the ATG we made earlier.
1. In the Top Pane, under Keymaps left click on FTL DPS Keys.
2. In the bottom left pane, expand DPS 1.
....


The problem starts with step #1, in the top pane, under keymaps, there is no FTL DPS keys options. There's only "Always On" "Combat" and "Non-combat." So everything from there on out is a crapshoot. Considering the second post I linked is a guide from 2011, I'm hoping there's a more recent version that works with Build #41 that I'm simply not finding.

Thank you in advance for the help!

Re: Trouble with Melee Group

What you're looking at is pretty old and no longer entirely accurate.


1. FTL DPS Keys is now "Combat". It used to be specially named for WoW, now it is the same as for every other game

2. You do not need to create a Melee IWT Mapped Key. It's already made for you and is called "Interact with Target - Keep CTM" in the Non-combat Key Map.

3. If you are using the Standard Menu (default) instead of the invisible Hotkeys option for 1 through =, then you will need to modify the Standard Menu Button Set instead of looking for those keys in the Combat Key Map. To find the Button Set, select the Standard menu in the top left pane under Menus; then in the bottom left pane under Button Sets, select Standard Assist + Broadcast (noting that there is another one that doesn't Assist + Broadcast, but is not used by default for WoW). Now what you're looking for is under "Buttons" in the bottom right pane. You'll see the Actions listed right under the Button name, just right click on the Button name and select Do Mapped Key Action (in the Key Map Actions submenu)

Re: Trouble with Melee Group

Excellent, thanks!

First, I'm assuming that I'll want to put the Do Mapped Key action for any of the buttons 1 through = where I want it to also auto-IWT. I want to try to avoid putting it on too many buttons otherwise I risk having the melee run off randomly as has been discussed when IWT gets spammed too much.

Second, I'm assuming the target would be the Action Target Group I setup with all my melee characters in it. The key map will be "Non-combat." The mapped key will be "Interact with Target - Keep CTM" as you mentioned.

Yes

The Target for the Do Mapped Key Action that does "Interact with Target - Keep CTM" should be Window:Current. Modify the "Interact with Target - Keep CTM" Mapped Key so that "<Interact with Target> -> all" goes to your Action Target Group with the melee characters in it
