Good morning,

First, thank you for the excellent product. Between Kick's questing profiles, Dungeon Buddy, AR Relog, and searching the forum, I've been able to get a lot done rather quickly. Thank you all for your efforts.

I have been using the questing and dungeon bots to get leveling accomplished and there are actually quite a few dungeons that are completely afkable with a 5-man team.

As I continue to level, I would like to transition over to bot-assisted 5-man PVP, bot-assisted 5-man, and bot-assisted 10-man. With that in mind, I am looking for some recommendations.

PVP: I want to run the leader character as either a dps character or a healer. With that leader, I want to target an enemy (npc or enemy player) and signal my characters to attack while my leader either attacks with the group or heals the group. With multibox leader and follower, my followers don't start attacking until my leader's first spell hits. Does this mean that I need to initiate combat by all followers (key broadcast) before they will begin combat or is there another solution? Also, multibox follower does it's own version of following and it looks fairly awkward. Is there an ability to disable that and just use an addon with follow-strobing to facilitate wow-based strobing? Or, with everything stated above, is there a bot solution that makes for sense, provides facing in combat, but also has no other in combat movement (combat bot, party bot, lazy raider, et al.)?

PVE: If my leader is a tank, I need to be able to hold back the followers when I initiate a fight. With multibox follower, the followers just keep following. Is there another solution?

Please feel encouraged to ask any follow-up questions related to the items above. I am happy to clarify. Thanks in advance for any recommendations. If someone is already doing this successfully (I am sure more than one of you might be), I would love to hear what bot(s), plugins, and setting you use. I have tried various combinations and settings, and the look and feel isn't quite right yet, so I greatly appreciate any and all assistance from the community.
 
For PvE instance botting use lazyraider without movement.
Use a normal multiboxsoftware to broadcast pause and follow (I use mouse 4 and 5 for it for example).

i.e - I run the tank myself. The rest is used with lazyraider without movement. Then I use pwnboxer (but any software is ok since u only gonna use simple commands) to send out certain movement commands to my bots. For example; follow leader, stop, scatter (move out of AE) etc.
 
Which multiboxsoftware do you prefer dottzor?

I use pwnboxer only because I started with it.
ISBoxer is used by very very many as well and is just as good (some say better - I disagree).
 
Nameca2: Dottzer uses pwnboxer. Keyclone will also work with Honorbuddy. ISBoxer will not work with Honorbuddy - Please don't hijack my thread. :)

dottzor: Thanks so much for the input. Based on what you are saying, I can set up bot-assisted 5-mans and 10-mans without issue. And in PVE facing won't be nearly as much of an issue as in PVP (Am I right in assuming Lazyraider doesn't face or move if movement is disabled?). I like your mouse suggestion and can do that for the follow issue. Keyboard input for movement patterns will be fine. Any suggestions for additional facing, targeting, and responding to attacks in pvp? Thanks again.

All: Thanks for your support. I appreciate any and all tips related to this topic and would love to hear from more folks.
