WoW macro for targeting and movement coordination question

[Darthette]

Hello!

This is my first post.

Glad to see a nice site dedicated to playing multiple toons.

I have been doing it for a while, but I was having to click into each window to do things. Now, I will be a lot more efficient.

I am using 5 open windows in low rez ont eh same computer, so it is very minimal. To transfer the keystrokes to all toons, I am using keyclone.

1 Questions:

How do you coordinate your moving of the toons?

I know that if I can get them all looking the same way at the start (then fight the habit of turning with the mouse), they will all coordiante correctly, but I am having a hard time getting that to happen.
I have seen a few videos where the guys actually DEPLOY around the main toon. That not only would help me out a lot but fitst he overall coolness factor of playing all the toons at once.


FYI - I have preliminarily chosen a Draenei priest and 4 Gnome Locks as my group. I have a 70 in each class already and the unrivaled mobility will be awesoem imo. I am toying with the idea of 5 Blood Eves, though :)

Thank you for you help!

Actually I think I have it all worked out.

I just set my priest as the /focus, then use /assist focus for targeting and /follow focus to realign the toons if they get out of whack a bit.

[keyclone]

if by DEPLOY you mean have your clones move into a formation around the main, then you can do that with some creative key bindings. you could probably find posts on it in the forums... but here's diamond:

(main: A clones: B,C,D,E)

diamond:
i will use the 'z' and 'x' keys. 'z' spreads out, 'x' brings them back in.

A: x( nothing ) z( nothing )
B: x( strafe left ) z( strafe right )
C: x( strafe right ) z( strafe left )
D: x( forward ) z( backward )
E: x( backward ) z( forward )

hope that helps.

OK!

THANKS!

Again - another obvious thign that I shoudl have thought about before asking...

Cool - makes sense.. make teh buttons do different things with different toons.. so they move in different directions.. easy enough...

thanks again!
