Ok so, since im so stubborn and pigheaded... and refuze to believe that boxing melee characters will never work as well as casters...

im working on boxing 2 warriors and 1 pally.

I've saliary sacrificed a lappy from my work, when that comes in, and my current hordles get to lvl 61 i'll be xfering a warrior on a dead account over to my server.

basicly i'll be using keyclone, un-binding the 1-0 keys on the pally to stop it from trying to cast every time i button mash, and using a wireless mouse hooked up to 2 recievers on my main pc and the laptop.

theoreticly.. this should work.. as long as the resolution/mouse movement speed is the same on my main pc and the laptop, and the movement, 1-= keys will be sent via keyclone.


If this works i'll be adding another warrior to the group along with another pc and same deal with the mouse.

will post pics/keep u updated when i get teh laptop.

I predict this will be your biggest headache, though it'd be interesting if you prove me wrong. :)

yeah it probably will be, considering i got a 22" for my bday, my 2nd monitor is 19" and the laptop will be 17"

my partner does have a 2nd 19" monitor, so if i get too frustrated i'll just let him use my 22" and steal his 19" and hook the laptop up to that.

btw is Mag East or West coast? if it works and you can stand me being around you for more than 5mins i might xfer over :) (west coast plz dear god)

I have leveled my 3 shamans to 64 as enhancement. I dont have too much trouble getting them to all attack and do the same amount of damage vs regular world mobs.

Things definately break down in PvP and a lot of instance PvE though.

[Tigahawk]

thats what id be using them for mainly, pvp.

im sure theres got to be some program out there that will send mouse commands to aonther screen/computer and have its own size-compensation/scaling that works with it tho.

[wougoose]

More power to you buddy. It isn't the usual 'Project Shammies' lol :)

[Hypermoo]

I've experimented with leveling groups of rogues and warriors, and like others mentioned, it is fine for pve. Pvp has problems though. Even if you could perfectly copy mouse movements, any stun, snare, or anything else that gets your characters out of sink will ruin everything. Just think. What happens when you get feared?

Leveling a melee groups is on my list of things to do, but it will be strictly for pve.

[Tigahawk]

id be relying on the pally/pvp trinket/charge/intercept/zerk stance to break fears/snares and re-align them, also with the use of /follow

also using the in game camera-angle-ajustor, it will shit me cuz it re-aligns it constantly but it will prevent it from getting screwd around

It'll be interesting to see how it goes :)

Regarding screen size, resolution and multiple wireless mouse receivers.
I have a 24” as main and my extra pc uses 19” x 1, 15” x 3. Where the 19” has a other native resolution that the 15” screens. Although the wireless mouse setup works perfectly when forcing the 19” resolution to the same resolution as the 15” have.

Not sure if I’m just in luck or what, but it hasn’t been an issue for me.

nice :)

Question about SLI :P

ive got an E6600 2gig ram and a 8600GTS. To have both windows fullscreen, main window res 1680x1050, and 1024x768, ive gotta have the multisampling turned down to 1x, and this is i think? causing my 22" to get ghosting and pretty badly "Scratching" textures when moving around (knowing my luck the 22" is faulty)

can i set up sli to have 1 vid card dedicated to each monitor?

im hoping this will eliminate some lag and the scratchy texture issue.

I was also going to get another 2gig of ram put in later on.

[Bollwerk]

SLI only supports 1 monitor output, from what I remember. I'm not sure if this applies to setting up 2 monitors as 1 extended desktop though. However, you could turn off SLI and hook up each monitor to each card and that should work fine.

I'm not sure if you mean tearing though. If it only happens when turning, then it sort of sounds like tearing due to v-sync not being turned on. I always run with v-sync on because tearing annoys the hell out of me.

Ghosting on the monitor can't be fixed without replacing the monitor though. That is simply a matter of the monitor having a poor refresh rate. Ideally you want a monitor with less than 10ms refresh rate.

damn, you are so gonna be easy prey for frost mage ^^

My only suggestion is to roll war/druid (maybe druid x2?).. and melee with the war and have the druids just spam bloom/rejuv on you. I did some BG tests on ptr with war/druid and it was ok.. mainly as you have a pocket healer. I'm thinking having 2 druids follow would be even better as if one of them is getting beat up the other one is still spamming heals and you can take out any oppositions. Though all this fails when the other team realizes you're boxing and just zergs you (had it happend a lot after they figure it out.. the whole @#$# team would rush me hehe).
