When multi-boxing, does everything have to be bound to keys/macros?
ie: no clicking?

I use the mouse all the time. When I play my 5 box with 5 classes, I try to avoid it, but it still gets used. A lot of people mouse drive as times as well.

Is there a way to set it up so I can click buttons on my actionbars and still have it work? because from what I've read, it seems like i have to bind everything to a keyboard action

You'll really need to get to grips with using keys if you're going to multibox.

The transition from clicking will be much easier if you get a mod such as Bongos that presents a MUCH more user-friendly interface to set the bindings up for you, and can also be configured to display a reminder as to which key you've actually bound to each action, right on the icon itself.

It won't take long to get used to. Honest 8)

How......

*boggle*

....how would one even contemplate pvp with clicking icons??? PvP Ownage staples like the hunter twist-n-shoot, the move-n-earthbind, the root-n-travel form, etc....I'm...wow...

You didn't say PvP. I couldn't believe anyone would not use a keyboard, so I thought "how would they pvp" and thusly my brain boggled.

But in your case, fair enough. PvE. I have one word for you.

Gorefiend.

'nuff said. Use a keyboard.

Pvp just accentuates the issue, pve (probably) isn't gonig to be fun for you if you aren't using the keyboard extensively, even on your main. Multiboxing is all about reducing seek time, so people use smaller keyboards, short-hand keyboards, and hardware or software multiplexors with zero seek. You'll still want to place your mice well, though; I've got powers I don't want bound as they aren't in frequent use. Even in pvp I imagine that matters.

On the other hand, it's whatever you like.
