Staggering spells

[blbjtb]

What is the best way to do this seeing that im not using Keyclone (scared of what I dont know plus im using Vista 64 and I here there are some problems with that) Anyway that being said I really need to stagger my Thunderstorm spell. Im not sure if I am using the correct terminology though.. What I want to do is this

Bind my 5 key so that when I press 5 my first char casts thunderstorm press it again next char casts thunderstorm and so forth and so on until all 5 chars have done that.. Then I would like to bind Shift 5 so that they all cast it @ the same time (That part is easy and I have no problems with that one as its just a key bind)

Any help I would grealy appreciate!

I just use the in game cast sequence functionality with 4 empty spaces staggered out:

character 1: /castsequence reset=6 Thunderstorm,,,,
character 2: /castsequence reset=6 ,Thunderstorm,,,
character 3: /castsequence reset=6 ,,Thunderstorm,,
character 4: /castsequence reset=6 ,,,Thunderstorm,
character 5: /castsequence reset=6 ,,,,Thunderstorm

Its not without it's issues, for arena seperate keybinds are a better idea imo as sometimes a character will be stunned, on gcd, or still casting when you hit the key so you would have to wait for the sequence to reset and then q up enough key strokes again in the next sequence to reach that characters thunderstorm if you wanted to utilize it. In a heated 5v5 its not really something you want to be concerned with. For PVE though, 1 key with cast sequences is perfect

i had my thunderstorms on round robin... but i just like the blunt damage it does all at once with 5 clients. Also it refunds mana sooooo i just use it when i'm LOM and need a little more.

fyi... i've got vista64 at home and keyclone ran fine while i leveled up my mages & shammies (new groups)

if you have any questions, just drop me a note and i'll get back to you as soon as possible

dont forget also to add this line before each of the /castsequence....
"/cast [mod:shift] Thunderstorm"

this will have all your shammies cast thunderstorm.



you can also incorporate it inside the castsequence, iirc, like so:
/castsequence reset=6 [mod:shift] Thunderstorm; Thunderstorm, , , , ,

:DI can also confirm that keyclone works just fine in Vista x64. I didn't do anything special, it just ran as expected. It's truely a great program. If/when I go to 10 boxing, ill be buying 1-2 more licenses for my other computers :)
