Opinions on Shaman Dualbox

Hello everybody!

I would like to thank you all for so many well written and helpful articles, as my first multibox ever (two mages) hit 32 yesterday! I started due to the RAF benefits and am finding out that I may want to keep both accounts long term.

I'm asking for opinions on how to handle healing on my two shamans with the easiest and most flexible setup. Obviously attacks and totems and the like are quite easy to set up, however managing heals with both toons capable of healing has me at a bit of a loss of where to begin. I know a lot of it is personal preference, but some advice as to what has worked for others would certainly go a long way towards making it easier for me to get off the ground!

I am using a G15 keyboard and a pretty standard 5 button mouse. While macros are helpful, I can certainly look those up myself, and am really just looking for a good grouping of keys and what to bind to them to make healing with my shamans as painless as possible!

Thanks in advance, and if anything needs clarification I will certainly post additional information.

The shamans are both level 1 and have no work done to them as of yet.

I am sure others probably have a much better way of doing the heals than I do, but on my 2 shammies I have 3 macros.

1st macro has both shammies target the party leader and cast a healing spell (can use wave, chain or whatever you want)

2nd macro has both shammies target the 2nd party member to cast a healing spell

3rd macro has them both self target themselves and cast a healing spell

I find this gives me varied options when I am taking dmg. If i only want the main(party leader) to only heal themselves I just click on the spell on the hotbar.

Thats a really smart idea, I totally lost the simple fact of being able to click my mains heals.

Awesome idea, I think I may give that a whirl.

Thanks a lot!
