3 questions: mouse buttons/stop follow/channeling

[AlfaStation]

Been playing 3 mages for de past month, Itsy, Bisty, and Spyder, and having a "blast" :)
I'm lacking the rez/heal/totem/cac abilities of a shamy and fear/dot/stone/pet of a warlock though.
So I'm thinking of a new set-up: Shamy(main), Mage, and Warlock (or ShadowPriest).


I'm using Multi-boxing and AHK on 2 computers and 3 screens but i have a few questions:


1) Mouse button 4 & 5: Is there any way to transmit just those mouse-keys using Multi-box, without activating the rest of the mouse?
(i know AHK can do mouse-buttons between the clients, but how do i configure Multi-box?)


2) Is there a "stop follow 'till end of combat" macro?: When i go into close-combat with my shamy, i'd like my dps-classes to stop following. What do you think is the best way to do this?
(i bind /follow focus to "A", and i suppose I could use the shift-modifier to "move back" on all, or is there a better way?)


3) Channeling spells without holding down the button: How would you go about channeling drain mana/life with warlock while at the same time cast firebal or other "cast over time" with mage?
(and to complicate things: there's also the instant horion-spells and heals from the shamy while he's in close-combat to account for...)

there are 2 ways I can tell you. First is different hotkeys. Second is (I am not sure if it will work but it should do) to use castsequence macro. On warlock it is cast drain life and on 2nd button hit cast nothing. In the same time mage casts fireball on first hit, and casts fireball on 2nd hit. Something like that :P

/castsequence Drain Life,,

/castsequence Fireball, Fireball

/cast [nochanneling:spellname] Spellname

You can spam this button without disrupting any channeling spell.

Last I recall someone had created an addon that would auto follow if they were not in combat.

I think he meant casting drain life by warlocks and in the same time spam something like fireball by mages without interrupting warlocks' channeling spellcasting

Good tip that second "," but i'll have to be carefull on timings and not press it too quickly or i'll be wasting lots of mana ...

Thinking about it, caldvn's suggestion :
/cast [nochanneling:spellname] Spellname
might actualy be more suitable. I'll have to try both.

On a sidenote, /castsequence seems to be VERY limited with mage's spells : example: /castsequence dragon's breath doesn't work. Neither do any other instant casts :cry: Is that normal?


Any ideas on mouse 4 & 5? (i'm running out of keyboard space :lol: )

[unit187]

talking about

/cast [nochanneling:spellname1] Spellname2

is it works like - if not channeling <spellname1>, then cast <spellname2>?
so you need to cast <spellname1> using another hotkey?

Thought about it some more: that doesn't do any good at all. We're talking 2 different characters, casting different spells... dumb dumb me :lol: !

You can use shift/ctrl+ mousekeys aswell. Helped me save some space =).

That would be nice, but i cant get the mousekeys from 1 computer to the other unless i activate the "whole" mouse broadcast function in Multi-Box.
Any way to turn off mousemovement in Multi-Box, yet leave mouse-keys broadcast on?
