I recently gave a shot at trying the refer a friend for the 3xXP and the mount.

Now I see it goes way faster then a single character leveling, but I want to make it easier then swapping windows for every move and pickup.
So I downloaded and paid the Keyclone :)
Im unsure of how I set it up, is it working with addons like Bongos as actionbars, or do I have to deactivate and play with the standard ui?

I tried this http://solidice.com/keyclone/wow_setup.html without success.

So could anyone be a champ and help me out a little?
At the time its on the early leveling stages, so all I want is to have the shaman as the main window and the druid boxed.
So when I LB, ES or Attack, the druid does the same thing, I'm not familiar to Keyclone yet so I havent figured it out how to setup so it does that, and maybe heals my shaman/druid when its at low health.
Would be nice to get a comment about this :)

Thanks for reply's
Tobias ! ;)

Do you have them both windowed?

Yeah, I now get the druid to actually following my shaman and casting wrath(Not 100% yet) at the target. But I would like it to heal my shaman by the press of a button also
Wont that be like;

/Target Char1
/Cast Spell

?

Shaman / Main - Put all of the abilities on there as normal. Make the following macro:

/invite Druid
/ffa

Obviously replace 'druid' with the druid's name. This will invite him and put it on FFA loot. I would recommend getting a mod that automatically accepts group invites from people on your friends list. Oh yeah, add each character to the respective friends list.

On the druid, your alt, Make a macro like this for each spell. ** THIS IS NOT THE MOST POPULAR WAY OF DOING THINGS, BUT THIS IS HOW I DO IT **

If you want to have the druid heal whatever YOU'RE targeting, make the following macro:

/assist Shaman
/cast Rejuvination

If you want him to heal YOU specifically,

/target Shaman
/cast Rejuvination

Change the macro to fit whatever spell you want, or whatever. Thats basically it. Search around on the forums and you can find alternate ways to set up things, but I find that this way is easiest for me - No messing with focus, you just press the button and it works.

And how would it be to link 5 melees? Is that a possibility in multiboxing?

it's possible, but it's not really viable for anything. You can pull the mob with your main and pull it back, but there are problems with that, such as casters, runners, etc.

In PvP, enemies are always moving around so that would get really hard, trying to chase someone down with no long range. Also, CC like fear would screw you up.

In PvE, I suppose you could get away with it, but you're not going to have healing unless you have the druid SS out of Cat/Bear and heal, then go back.

As you can see, not the best thing to do - thats why most people pick shamans, or at least SOME long range.

On the other hand, you can have a paladin as your main and a long range as an alt. This lets you tank the mob in most cases, keeping that synergy.

Im testing with a shaman as main and a druid as range. It works fine in the barrens but I guess later on it will kinda suck, only skills my druid uses is healing touch and wrath >.>

Also gonna try later warrior as main and a mage as range. No healing but dps.
