i've nto figured this one out, how do i actually tell me 4 warlock slaves to cast rain of fire?

the amcro works and i see the green marking on the ground but wont cast it. obviously i have to mouse click onto each window, but if there a way from my main window to make all 4 locks cast rain of fire in a particular area?

I think blizzard patched this there used to be a macro but I do not think it can happen anymore.

ok so i searched the forums for mouse broadcasting and came acorss multibox and snergy..but the problem is the software is meant to run on another pc, i use one pc to play 5 windows of wow



i did nto see in easy sight, much that shows or documents mouse braodcasting for someone with 1 pc, 2 monitors and 5 wow windows

sure far my 5box is coming along but i've hit a wall



i cant do any aoe dmg

i some how hoave to tell the pc how to send my mouse click and drag info to the other 4 wow windows on my 2nd display
jhow does xzin and others who been around a lot longer do it, if it can be done with 1 pc cuz i know xzin is pure hardware now that i memba

Octopus will do it. :)

Keyclone does it too, but I never got it to work right.

keyclone will handle this as well, but it's not as elegant as you'd probably like (not a slam against Rob or his product at all, just due to the way the game takes mouse input).

There is an option to toggle mouse-broadcasting, when toggled on your clicks will be sent to each WoW client on the same computer - but each window has to be in focus for that to work, so for blizzard, or Rain of fire, or accepting flight paths or whatever what I do is:

hit toggle mouse broadcast key (broadcast is on now)
click action on first window
watch as action is repeated on each clone
after mouse/focus returns to first window i toggle mouse-broadcast off (otherwise you get some really strange results while trying to mouse look or steer.

there is a slight delay as each window is cycled through, so you won't get the instant all 4 clones casting blizzard at the exact moment, but on my machine it's fast enough to get all 4 blizzards off and hitting the group of mobs / players that I have deemed in need of a good AoE treatment.

In summary:
There are a few ways to do this, all that I have found involve a slight bit of lag as the mouse click is sent to each client (assuming multiple clients on 1 machine).
Broadcasting to multiple machines removes the lag of having to cycle through windows, but obviously running that much hardware for AoE spell targeting is not an option for all :)

The other way to do this would be like the looting macro, where the alts are zoomed in and looking down, or however you want it set up, and you have a keybinding to generate a mouseclick.
