I'm a noob to multi-boxing but I have 2 70 warlocks that I've just recently started to work on together. The only problem I'm having is I'll pass the "W A S D" keys and have the clone assisting my main, but if hes not facing the same direction, then its useless. A lot of times in BG's I'll have to be doing 360s casting standing in one place, how do I get my clone to face the same target as my main?

Also, is there anything wrong with thos macro? I mean it works so far, but it seems to easy.
/assist <name>
/cast Shadow Bolt

Thanks in advance everyone

First, don't pass WASDQE.

Second on your 2nd,
/follow <name>

You now have two characters constantly facing the same direction. You have to learn the magic of follow time, time between when you stop and the minion stops, how to move to quickly turn the minion without breaking your spellcast, etc...

try to use /follow instead of passing w a s d

he should always face the right direction then

EDIT: i fail..zanthor beat me to it!

facing is the bane of the multiboxer.

I block WASD and allow the direction keys, both are bound to all instances.

to turn in unison, I use the arrows, otherwise the clones are on follow and I will just move a little in the direction I want them to face... voila

and yes there is nothing wrong with that macro.

2 boxing is simple, enjoy it :) as you add characters your complexity increases
