Hey Guys,

Would you guys reccomend Auto Hotkey or Key cloner, I've seen a lot of people posting useing keycloner (i have AHK ATM) but was wondering if it's any better/worse personally i've ran into some issues with AHK and the scripting that for some reason i can't seem to wrap my head around why it will work one time then fail miserably the next.

Also question about the assist focus macro is there a way to loop the assist focus /cast macro so when i hit say lightning bolt in slot one on my main it tells the slaves to assist focus so i don't have to hit my assist button everytime before i enter battle. Kind of a minor thing but more of an annoyance than anything else.

If anyone has a list of scripts and macros or even a link to a thread i may have missed regarding shammy dual boxing please let me know, it's fun as hell to dual box but the pieces i'm missing are making it more worth while to play one character instead of the uber 2.

**EDIT** I just found Kens complete shaman guide
Thanks,

Marvin


One more quick question is there a macro or script i can set up to have my slave loot corpses? haven't been able to tackle that one just yet
thanks again

There are a few assist macro styles here: http://dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.php/Macros#Assist_Macros

I personally use Assist via Party assignment or Focus ('http://dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.php/Macro:Assist_via_Party_assignment_or_Focus) which makes it so I can either assist my focus (if I have one), otherwise it will assist the current party leader.

A good start for macros would be our macro wiki ('http://dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.php/Macros').

G'afternoon Marvin and welcome to the forums :D

if you have any questions about keyclone, feel free to drop me a note... i'm very introverted (yea.. right)... so please, don't hesitate

have a great day,

Rob (keyclone developer)
