So here is my problem right now I am using Auto Hotkey Net and Its a good program I feel that it gets enough of what I need done. However There are just so many programs and alot of people arnt using the one im using and well since im basically a noob when it comes to this stuff I figured I would post here. What program do you use to Multibox with and why?

Also let me explain my set up so that you understand where I am coming from and can hopefully point me in the right direction.

I am 5 boxing 5 Shamans

On my Main comp Im just running one instance of wow

on my lap top im running 4 more instances of wow

my problem comes in a few directions. First (and formost)

The focus or having to jam on my /assist macro everytime I want to attack or heal something new (its a little annoying but im getting sort of used to it.) However If I could make it so that everytime I target something new then all the shamans all focus on that new char.

Next scatter (mostly for pvp) lets face it its fun to have a blob of characters however your basically begging a Mage or any aoe class HIT ME!!!

an easy way to bind many keys (IE) Action bar left F1-F12 (while using hotkey net is nice having to bind everything in a script is a bit annoying)

I understand that some of these are in wow and ill have to make macros and ill have to make key bindings and thats fine. I guess im just looking for some advice and some guidance.



-Thanks

I use the targettarget option in macro building.

/cast [target=targettarget] Lightning Bolt

This macro behaves as follows. All the Alts have the main as their target. The main selects a MOB. When the macro is activated the the lightning bolt from the alts is cast on the target of the main.

You can use either targetoftarget, focus, or in your slaves/alts macro just add /assist party1. There are plenty of ways to do this, plenty of posts in the forums. As for you being a Mage's wet dream, just have a 'scatter' key binding. A key that is bound to a different movement direction on all of your characters. Eg, when I press Ctrl Q all of my characters move outwards/backwards/forwards.
