4 Shaman, FTL SETUP- All inside!!

[Iceorbz]

Alright ill get to the meat of this post: The goal is to provide players with a quick and working setup to run 4 shaman in a FTL environment.
What im not covering is how to actually setup FTL inside of keyclone itself. Things that I would like to provide.

-Key setup, bindings and macros.

- UI layout, recommended addonds.

So here we go, I intend to start out with a few pictures of my setup.




The bar on the right side, is normally hidden. All the FTL items are placed on this bar, and then hidden out of view. The bottom right side, contains a focus window, omen, gladius and recount goes above the focus window.


This is my desktop setup, X keys Pro, N52 TE, MX Revolution mouse and keyboard.




X Keys SETUP each key does exactly what it the icon displays.

[Iceorbz]

Mouse Settings

These are the n52 TE key bindings used by me.


So that is my physical layout of how things are, what's bound and what's able to be used. I will note that I rarely use the keyboard
for general play, but when engaging in vehicle combat i use the number pad for those functions.

[Iceorbz]

Alright now more to the core of the setup, I run keyclone you can find my key map files along the bottom there.
I will lead off with my key setup, it will start with the key binding - the FTL, and the macro's associated with that.
First thing when setting up FTL, define your characters:

Ctrl + key = Orbzz
Ctrl + Alt + key = Orbzm
Ctrl + Shift + key = Iceorbs
Alt + Shift + key= Orbzem

Key10: Totem recall - NO FTL KEY

/cast Totemic Recall

************************************************** ***
Key -: Mac config / Mount - NO FTL KEY

There are many times, when you may want to ground mount vs. flying, this is where I make that determination using this key. Macaroon for me at least, tends to
bug out and not accept the input to my FTL bar, when I zone into places. So I macroed in a little fix for myself.
************************************************** ***
key: -
This is my ghostwolf, or ground/flying mount macro. It's a game script that will select based off of location where I can and cannot fly, and then summon the
appropriate mount for that area (ie, no flying in wintergrasp / dalaran area's).

************************************************** **
Key X: Purge / Wind Shock (shear i guess) NO FTL KEY
Main:

#show
/cast [mod:ctrl,target=focus] Wind Shock
/cast [mod:shift] Wind Shock

/assist Orbzz (I use assist, to not use more FTL keys, if my main is down.. im already screwed so it doesnt matter tbh)
/cast [mod:ctrl,target=focus] Wind Shock
/cast [mod:shift] Wind Shock
/cast Purge

[Iceorbz]

F1 - Totem Sequence - NO FTL KEY (Now I have a x-keys pro, so I was able to setup pictures for each of the totems, to call certain ones on demand.
TBH to this day, i generally only use Healing Stream, Stoneclaw, Searing, magma calls. This is also my PVP totem drop

Main
#showtooltip

/cast [mod:shift,mod:alt,nomod:ctrl] Stoneclaw Totem
/cast [mod:shift,mod:ctrl,nomod:alt] Healing Stream Totem
/cast [mod:shift,mod:ctrl,mod:alt]Mana Spring Totem

************************************************** *
F2- Grounding Totems - NO FTL
This key is bound to my wheel on the n52 te, it is use to only call grounding totems and is used quite often.

#show
/cast Grounding Totem

************************************************** *
F3- Tremor Totem Sequence - NO FTL.. TBH I dont use this very often anymore. I dont have it bound to my gamepad,
since i usualy get tremors out with that, but sometimes i may reach up and tap f3 after dropping stoneclaws.

Tremor Totem Sequence

(ORbzz)
#Showtooltip Tremor Totem

************************************************** *
Q- Trinket / EM / oh shit macro

I utilize one button to activate all trinkets, blow thunderstorm x4, ect.. This is the same for all toons slaves I add a assist just in case I didnt have time to grab a focus.

Main
#show thunderstorm
/use Titan-forged Rune of Audacity
/use Platinum Disks of Sorcery
/cast Elemental Mastery
/cast Thunderstorm
/target focus

Slaves: Sometimes I may not get a focus target keyed in, before im getting rushed, so in that case I just have them take my mains target at the time this ques before /target focus, so if there is a focus one will be attacked.

#show thunderstorm
/use Titan-forged Rune of Audacity
/use Platinum Disks of Sorcery
/cast Elemental Mastery
/cast Thunderstorm
/assist Orbzz
/target focus

The SHIFT Mod for Q is a Cast Sequence for the Focus Target
/castsequence [target=focus,exists,nodead][] reset=8 flame shock, lava burst, chain lightning Sometimes im spamming q quick, so it made sense to just hold my modifier button on the N52 TE.
This has worked fairly well for blowing someone up, and credit goes to forum goers for this macro.

[Iceorbz]

The above files are my keymaps for keyclone, and the way i have my wow bindings setup to perform the FTL system. Feel free to copy them and use them if youd like. the keyclone files need to be renamed to .kcl and you can post the bindings info right into your bindings file.

[Slats]

I would just like to say your X-Key Setup is awesome. Very impressed.

[Iceorbz]

Yeah I like the x-keys, but I think that I could probably go for something smaller.. like around 24 keys. If i setup with a dedicated healer I could see myself using more keys.. but then I dont know if i would use teh game pad.

[Starbuck_Jones]

Very nice post.

[Iceorbz]

Im not sure if this should go somewhere else like a guide area, wiki or what not.. don't really know how to put it in there anyways. But yeah I worked pretty hard to help provide all the information I could on a full FTL setup, with hardware and software stuff included. Thanks for the compliments

[MarkHR]

Thanks for posting - looks like a very well thought out setup.
