getting my feet wet with 3.

[Stack]

Hello, just thought id pop in and say hi

After 3 years of wow raiding thru naxx and then keal/vashj one charactor just didn't seem very challenging anymore and when i saw the 4 shaman pvp video on the main site i was hooked. so after a few months i finally did it and bought 2 more accounts.

I got a keyclone license and rolled 3 shamans for a 3v3 pvp team.

for leveling ive got a preexisting shaman (lv 61) so im lvling a mage to 45, then switching to my lvl 45 pali alt and 2 shamans.

im running a Q6600 (3.2ghz/core), 8800gtx, 4gb of ram. one machine for all 3 and 2 21" monitors

my only concerns thus far is running out of keys because of totems. so i may have to seriously consider an xkey pad but my keyboard tray wont fit it so eventually ill have to work something out. secondly is 3 shamans enough to kill some one quickly in a 3v3 environment.

in the hardware section there is a thread about gamepads. For running all of the same class you need much fewer keys and macros to make things work because there isnt much to choose from. I have a G15 and an n52 and I currently only use maybe 20% of all the programmable keys on them to do stuff. Dont forget about the numpad.

Btw, you wouldnt happen to be the person I talked to on MSN last night? your setup seems familiar :)

Nope not me, but my setup is becoming quite common since the price on computer parts has dropped pretty significantly in the last year for what ive got.

what frame rates are you getting?

im planning my rig with about specs but with 5 on 1 comp

When i was 5boxing with trial accounts i used 15fps for when the screen was not focused and 100 max for focused, on the main screen i got normal fps (40-100 depending on the area) and the other 4 guys were all at 15 steady. when i didn't have that turned on my main screen studdered like crazy.

In regards to "running out of keys because of totems", you should just make a /castsequence for each character and bind it to the same key. They could all put out different totems, you'd just hit the same button 4 times. You shouldn't worry about all of the combos of different totems, you should just find some standard set that you put out for every pull.
