Repeat regions = amazing but..

How do you deal with the fact that you would need to have a huge repeat region on your play area in order to still be able to heal AV.

What I mean is, I have a huge repeat area set so that when in AV I can still heal anyone, but when I'm just doing 5 mans or smaller BG it's a large area of the screen I have to be very careful to avoide clicking in, or I have to shrink the repeat region.

I had a couple repeat region "profiles" saved but got tired of switching between them depending on which BG I was in, or I'd forget and lose people becuase I forgot to enlarge it so they could get heals. Eventually I just left it as the largest (40 man capable) repeat region by default but I was wondering if anyone else big on BG has better solutions.

Also if you have elegant ways of handling bubble sac rotations I'd be interested. My system is a bit clunky. I use 4 click bar buttons, one for each ret that casts bubble then sac. In the heat of battle clicking the click bars can be a pain, especially since it ties up the mouse for a couple seconds (Two global cooldowns ???) . I thought about making it a round-robin keystroke which would free up the mouse but I had issues with it not firing, or I press it too fast and it moves to the next step without actually casting the step in game. The click bar buttons allow me to specify the paly bubble-sac'ing and ensure both spells fire since I spam that one button until they do. Thoughts?


Thanks,

PS I haven't posted here in a while but my baby team is all grown up now and they've become well respected (and feared in BG). Was never able to do this with keyclone. Lovin ISBoxer for sure.

I switch mine manually when I'm in a 40 man. My 5 man and 40 man Vuhdo windows are in a different location entirely, and I switch them on demand (my 5 man is off in a corner where 40 man doesn't actually fit). You can do it via a hotkey with Repeater Regions Action(s) if that makes it more convenient

What I do and suggest you do for your rotation round-robins is use the "sticky steps" feature. That's the check box at the top when you're adding Actions to a step. Tell it to stay on this step for 1.5 seconds (normal GCD) for example, and then from the time you first press the key in that step until 1.5 seconds later, any time you press it again it will repeat the same step. This way I just whack it the key couple times until it casts, and nobody gets skipped. Mine are actually set to something like 0.5 seconds so that I can skip someone in less than a GCD if needed.
