Macros :: setup on toolbars ?

[DigitalDeuce]

Just asking, I'm new to dual boxing, but have done it successfully :: but have a question.



I'm using XKeys to duplicate keys from my second box's keyboard to make
it easier for me to fire off his spells, etc:: and was wondering
- does everyone just put their stuff on the basic WoW toolbars and then
just keybind to them?



Seems limiting - was just curious how the pros handle it.

Ok- did more looking and hunting and found that one person at least uses Bongos for the bars, and key binds to that.



Is that the norm?

I use the standard WoW bars, but my macros are tightly packed into the first 6 hotkeys. I do my best to map similar functionality to the same keys (i.e. hotkey 6 is Execute + Judgement + Shadow Word: Death, hotkey 5 is Hamstring + Hammer of Justice, etc. etc.)

I've never had a problem with running out of hotkeys/bindings.

[DigitalDeuce]

so you use a lot of "cast sequence" macros, yes?



I've been doing single spell casts -- just with "assist" in the front -
so for healing spells I wind up with 2 'hotkey/bindings' for healing --
heal self, heal leader variants.



Is this where I'm going wrong with my setups?

I personally use the keypad for my heals:

1 - Renew main
2 - Flash main
3 - GHeal main
4 - Renew alt1
5 - Flash alt1
6 - GHeal alt1
7 - Renew alt2
8 - Flash alt2
9 - GHeal alt2
0 - PoM main
. - Pom alt1

etc.

That frees up the rest of the keyboard for crazy DPS :D

Ahhhh - good point !



I think I'll do that myself as well
