View Full Version : New dual-boxer here! Looking for advice.

I recently started dual boxing, at the moment playing two characters.

My main, level 70 enhancement shaman and an alt, level 51 resto druid. Aiming to dualbox through heroics at level 70 and just have fun with it. Nothing too serious. Anyhow, I made a macro list of the macro's I'd be using and wondered if any dual boxers have some tricks and things that I should add to the list! And what you think about the combo.

Obviously, being melee dps on my main, that's the active window I use for dual boxing.

My keyboard is a Logitech G15 (F1-F12 is also on the left side of my keyboard and easy to use as well as 6 buttons I named G1-G6), and I use AutoHotKey program for relaying keys to both clients.

Translate move keys

G2 -> w
G4 -> a
G5 -> s
G6 -> d

Those are the macro's and binds I use at the moment, 1 through 5 work similar on my shaman for healing wave and lesser healing wave, the rest of the keybinds don't overlap at all.

Don't you find yourself leaning on G7-G18? nm

First thing I notices is the redundant use of [stance:0,1,2,3,4,6] you could just change the order so the [stance:5] Regrowth is before the Healing Touch e.g.

/cast [modifier] Rejuvenation ; [stance:5] Regrowth; Healing Touch

otherwise it is looking good ;)

take a look at the wiki, there are many macros there and you may find some inspiration

Ah thanks a bunch! That's much cleaner too. ^^
