Anyone feel like helping me frist time multi-boxing going nuts, im leveling them from level 1 and RAFin. cant seem to make sense of alot of the macros i would like some help with macros on my hunters thanks! :)you should start off slow.

there are two hunters. one is your main (the party leader, or party1, or leader, etc. we'll use these terms to describe the guy you choose as the main guy) and the other is your slave.

on the main, make sure you have your actions bound to hotkeys. meaning your autoshoot should be on hotkey1, so when you press 1, you autoshoot. arcane shot should be on hotkey2, meaning when you press 2, your main hunter shoots and arcane shot, and so forth and so on. basic wow stuffs right? good.


now... on your slave. we will make a macro for arcane shot so when you press 2, both hunters will shoot arcane shot at the same target. ok?

first thing's first. make a party.
your main should always make the party with your slaves. this makes your main hunter the party leader automatically.
now that both your hunters are in a party, your slave hunter will always refer to your main hunter as party1.

so lets start with the first macro. we're not going to use focus, since you'll probably want to use focus for things like misdirect.

on your slave make this macro and put it in hotkey2.

/cast [target=party1target, harm, nodead] [] Arcane Shot
once you place this macro in hotkey2, you can press 2 and both hunters will shoot arcane shot.

breakdown of the macro.
"/cast" means that this is what you do, which is to cast something..
"Arcane Shot" is the name of the spell you will case.
things inside the [ and ] are used to evaluate the situation.
"target=party1target" means... evaluate your main's target.
"harm" means... is your main's target harmful? yes?
"nodead" means... and if its harmful, is it alive?

so basically your macro is saying this... Cast arcane shot IF your main's target is harmful to us and is still alive.

ok got the basics? you can do this for every spell you want. hopefully tihs gets you to understand the macro enough to make your own.

edit: oh and by the way, i am assuming you have programs that will replicate keystrokes to all your WoW's.
