Round robin

[Werekin]

Been trying to make up my team of pallys and i have really just 1 major questions.
How does the round robin casting work these days. Or is it even possible with pwnboxer? All experiments with adding , don't seem to work. Atleast not for me.

Anyone have a suggestion to how i can cast "Hammer of Justice" on a round robin?

I'm not 100% sure on how to approach stuff with it, but what u can do is make a castsequence macro:

/castsequence reset=60 Hammer of justice; ; ; ;
and then shift the actually cast between the 5 spots on each paladin
the 60 needs to be set to wahtever the actual CD is

Also i remember tim made a roundrobin on deathgrip on his dk.

;;; or ,,, i cant get to work.. dunno if they have removed that option

Sequencing spells and items

Many times you will find yourself casting a series of spells or use certain items in the same order on pretty much any mob you fight. To make this job a bit easier, we have the /castsequence command. /castsequence takes a list of spells and/or items separated by commas. These follow the same rules as /cast and /use. This means you can interchange spell names, item names, item IDs, inventory slots, and bag slot combinations. Each time you run the macro, it activates the current spell/item. If the spell or item is used successfully, the sequence will move to the next entry. You must repeatedly activate the macro to use all the spells in the sequence. Once you use the last entry in the list, it will reset to the beginning. Example:
/castsequence Immolate, Corruption, Curse of Agony, Siphon Life

This might be something you would use for a Warlock's opening attack. Note, however, that if Immolate fails to cast for some reason (out of mana, not in range, silenced, etc.), the sequence will remain at that point. Because of this, you cannot use a /castsequence to make a spammable macro like:
/castsequence Overpower, Execute, Mortal Strike

Before the spell list (but always after the conditionals), you can also specify reset conditions to start the sequence over before it reaches the end. The basic syntax for reset conditions is:
reset=n/target/combat/shift/alt/ctrl


Where n is the number of seconds of inactivity after which the macro should be reset. In other words, if more than n seconds pass without the macro being called, then the next time you call it the sequence will start from the first spell. Note that this is not the time since the first spell in the sequence was cast, but rather the time since the macro was last called (to cast any of the spells in the sequence). This is a very important distinction because it means you cannot use a reset timer to account for cooldown.

As to the other conditions, "target" resets the sequence when you change targets; "combat" when you leave combat; "shift", "alt", and "ctrl" when you activate the macro with one of those keys depressed. You can specify any number of these conditions separated by slashes as shown.

Example:
/castsequence reset=10/shift Spell 1, Other Spell, Some Item

The repeated ticks or semi-colons no longer work as timers in a macro. This was removed some time ago as I remember. (IE: ,,,, or ;;;; )

[Ualaa]

If your software does not support round-robin itself, your only alternative is with "dummy" or "filler" spells.

#1
/castsequence reset=5 Fire Elemental Totem, Water Shield, Water Shield, Water Shield

#2
/castsequence reset=5 Water Shield, Fire Elemental Totem, Water Shield, Water Shield

Etc...
However, not every class has filler spells that are off of a reuse timer.

Hey Ualaa, how are you doing?

For the OP, the new PB has round robin built features in a super easy to use manner. It will be released soon as the new version comes out, which is VERY soon now. We are in the final testing phases.
