My little contribuition: Shaman Macros Database and Keybindings Layout

[Pardall]

Keybindings Layout
I made a table to help me map my shaman triboxing hotkeys, as I already had a 70 shaman, and they are plain and simple, of course, solo. So writing the table was needed to help me put keys to focus:
- Most important actions with just one hand;
- Long cooldowns / less used / less important to not use fast actions keys.

Interesting this took me a lot of time (interesting because I already have 4 70s, but mapping keys for multiboxing was so hard!), and I was very curious to see some "old school" boxer hotkeys and I couldn't find, just a screenshot here and there. From this comes my idea of sharing a layout, so others can get some use of it.

The table is attached, check below (sorry for the trash layout of it).

Macros
First thing, I play "focus", I like it more than focusless/leaderless, so the first button I press after grouping is the "All Smash In One", this is also an emergency macro if a slave is taking long to assist focus (due to lag), someone dies (then I can fast switch leader), or casting something I don't want anymore.

/focus [target=party1,nodead][target=zuldrek,nodead][target=zuldrok,nodead][target=zuldrik,nodead][target=player]
/assist [target=focus, exists]
/stopcasting

Attack Macros (then change to Chain Lightning, Frost Shock, etc)

/assist [target=focus, exists]
/cast Lightning Bolt

For Earth + Flame Shocks:

/assist [target=focus, exists]
/cast [nomod] Earth Shock
/cast [mod:shift] Flame Shock

Healing Macro (the last line with ctrl, is a "spread out" Chain Heal. Each slave is focused in one person, until everyone fills all names, and then when I press CTRL+Healing Macro, everyone cast chain heal in different players).
I also have 3 of those, as seen in the table. One for each member of the party, just changing the name.

/cast [target=Zuldrek,nomod] Lesser Healing Wave
/cast [target=Zuldrek,mod:alt] Healing Wave
/cast [target=Zuldrek,mod:shift] Chain Heal
/cast [target=focustarget,help,mod:ctrl][target=Zuldrik,mod:ctrl] Chain Heal

Fire Totems

/cast [nomodifier] Totem of Wrath
/cast [mod:ctrl] Searing Totem
/cast [mod:shift] Fire Nova Totem
/cast [mod:alt] Magma Totem

"I Win"

/use 13
/use 14
/cast Nature's Swiftness
/cast Elemental Mastery

Stoneclaw Totem

Leader: /castsequence reset=45 Stoneclaw Totem,,,
Slave 1: /castsequence reset=45 ,Stoneclaw Totem,,
Slave 2: /castsequence reset=45 ,,Stoneclaw Totem,

Totem Order (just an example)

Leader: /castsequence reset=15 Totem of Wrath, Healing Stream Totem, ,
Slave 1: /castsequence reset=15 Totem of Wrath, Mana Spring Totem, ,
Slave 2: /castsequence reset=15 Totem of Wrath, Mana Spring Totem, Wrath of Air Totem,

Misc. Target Healing

/cast [target=focustarget,help,nomod] Healing Wave
/cast [target=focus,nomod] Healing Wave
/cast [target=player,mod:alt] Healing Wave
/cast [target=focustarget,help,mod:shift][target=player,mod:shift] Chain Heal

Ancestral Spirit

/cast [target=focus, exists, dead][target=party1, exists, dead][target=party2, exists, dead][target=party3, exists, dead][help, dead][] Ancestral Spirit

Interesting setup.

I could never get used to ctrl+q/e, tho I should really start using them!
1-6 works for me, plus g15 keys and many many mouse buttons

This is my keyboard layout:

(although it's slightly extended now, because I use "7" to "+" too now for the shaman elementals)

I just didnt use your layout because I use WASD as movement keys and I also don't use Numpad for actions like that, as I focus almost everything in the left hand (according to my layout).

Just want to say a late thank you for that guide. :P

Thanks for sharing. I've "favouriting" this thread for when I need to macro up my two shamans some more. They're currently using simple macros, but I'm about to hit outlands and I'm going to need some more flexibility from them.

Cheers! :thumbsup:

You're welcome! :thumbsup:

Actually I changed some stuff too, like totems ordering, but I think is just a matter of preference and situation, the basics are here.

Been considering multiboxing shammys since i got pwned by a lvl64 x5 group and i must say this guide certainly strips alot of work off the base setup!

sticky or add to wiki?

hehe thanks.
It just helped a guy that logged in Magtheridon with me, he was kind lost and I give him this link.
