Hello. I have been dual boxing my druid(moonkin) and shammy(elemental) for like 2 weeks now and is quite new to this.. and i was woundering if anyone could answer some questions.

I have set up keyclone, keybinds and macros and found this quite easy. All been working good since day one.

But since my main intrest is PVPing. And i am atm practicing to control this in 2v2. I found myself having to many keys to remeber. Ofc i got wrath/lightening bolt etc. all working toghter on single keys..
But its all the totems, heroisem etc.. and by now i have mostly remaped them before i go into arena so that i mouse click on cat/stelth and then when i want to start the fight by going into moonkin form(by key press) my shammy go heroisem on the same button etc.. and i would normaly start with a root and my shammy would then start spamming my 4 allready macroed and chosen totems.. and kinda mising out options to change to more suting totems... etc.. Ofc i can keybind them all.. but.. in the ection i need a easy way to get this done..

So i was woundering if anyone have any good ideas on this..I know i have been reading about Emote control. Where you macro a emote on your main and your alt will react to it in a chose way...(ex. /flee on my druid would make my shammy cast Tremor totem.)
Do anyone know anything about this? (that way i could make icons for my shammys totem on my druid actionbar.)

I was also woundering if you guys move alts on other ways then follow macros.. As i really have problems with stealth/melee teams which i cant get a control over from a distance (root/cyclon/goblin rocket luncher;) ) I now normal place my shammy manualy with his back against a wall if i cant see 2 in the start.. and just w8 in cat for someone to attack him.. that way he can atleast nuke non stoping...
I have read about separated walking paths.. but not found any information on it.. anyknow know anything about this?

well.. i guess i will have more questions later. Thanks to who ever can give me some information on this or any hints on how to solve situations..

And btw.. wow is a new game after i started this.. hehe, i wish i had the economy to have a 5xteam :D

Not sure if this will be useful for you (as it depends how your keys are set up) but I found this addon quite handy when I set up my comp for dual-boxing recently.

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/6947/ (NumPadBar)

Basically this gives you a numpad shaped action bar on your screen that you can add skills/macros to and it binds them to your numpad for you (I think you have to make sure numlock is off though). I think it is somewhat resricted for classes that have seperate stance bars (e.g. for moonkin form), but might be useful as you could bind different totems to that and then choose when to use each.

There were also a couple of addons I saw which did this, this just happened to be the one I downloaded.

I'm also thinking of dual-boxing a 2v2 arena team. I was planning to 'solo' on my hunter and lose my 10 games a week for the axe, but then I figured I might aswell add in my druid for double the welfare epics. She's resto at the moment, but I'm not sure if I'd have more luck going balance to try and at least get one opponent down.

Thanks Kel, i will look into the addon and see if that can make it easier in any way.

About your Hunter + resto druid idea.. I can tell you this from my exparions and i seen other ppl have writen it aswell here on the forum.
And before i started dualboxing my chrs was Feral and Rest shammy with allmost full s3 gear on both. And i ofc of the gearing was starting to dualbox them in that setup as a start.. But atleast as a feral i have to run and spam so many buttons at the same time so i had a hard time controling who my shammy whould heal and when to shock a enemy heal off.. So that was the reason i specced to moonkin and started farming gear. This have made it alot easier as i not just run straight at them pop heroisem and nuke till one die with both NS at 20% HP.. and then we both heal us up and go next...
But then.. as a hunter you do not need to run that much and you do not have all the timings etc as you would as a feral. And as a resto druid you preaty much use instant heals which helps alot..
I as well play my druid as a main in arena but when i go Flag carring in WSG i run with my shammy and have a auto hoter keeping me healed behind :D
