Thanks.
if you've just started, i dont think you have much need for macros right now. the best one would be the macros made for convenience. with that said... give evryone a drinking macro. once you get lifetap, give everyone a self bandage macro.
macros will also depend on what pets you use.
finally, make sure everyone has a healthstone. you will probably have to do this manually though. macro to soulstone yourself would be good too.
again... i cant really throw out a lot of macros if i dont know your spec. and if you're just beginning, it will take you a while to get to the point where certain macros will be useful.
ok gotta go. later!
They're 20 right now and does anybody know how to make them fear 3 different targets?
ah.. ok. awesome! something to work with...Quote:

you can do it several ways. i find the easiest would be to use modifiers. the other would be to use castsequence that will simulate a round robin. if you have a program (ie. KeyClone) that will do the round robin for you, then no worries on even making the castsequence.
1. the modifiers.
depending on whether you use [targetfocus] or [targettarget] the macro will basically be the same. i will assume [targetfocus] targeting. Assuming Lock1 is your main:
Lock1: /cast [mod:shift] Fear
Lock2: /cast [target=focustarget, mod:alt] [] Fear
Lock3: /cast [target=focustarget, mod:ctrl] [] Fear
2. the castsequence. this requires you to fear one, target another, and fear the next one. careful though, sometimes if the locks are in the middle of something, Lock1 will skip.
Lock1: /castsequence Fear, ,
Lock2: /castsequence [target=focustarget] , Fear,
Lock3: /castsequence [target=focustarget] , , Fear
you can loop this futher by simply adding more commas. "Fear, , , Fear, , , "
3. Also, you can put Fear on an actionbar and give it a round robin via your multiboxing software.
You can also set the targets as a focus instead of your main as a focus. this requires a bit more button pressing but once you get the foci set up, you can basically fear three mobs at once. however, this does require planning before a fight. so it might not work well on the fly. using modifiers may be better.
Also, the ultimate way of fearing 3 mobs at once.... use Howl of Terror.
Ah.... That's slightly confusing...
I havn't used the round robin stuff for keyclone mainly because I don't have a clue what it is or how to use it...
Help?
Thanks.
from keyclone website.Quote:
what is round robin
round-robin is a term from scheduling algorithms. basically, it allows you to specify a key that will be sent to individual clones, one per keypress.
this is very useful in games where you have an action that can only be performed on a target once and has a cooldown timer. if all 10 clones were to do it at once, it would waste 9 of them. instead, you round robin the key such that when you hit the key, only one character will perform the action... allowing you to save the other 9.
to add keys to the list, go to the setup area, click 'round-robin' and click in the window just below the list. then hit the keys you wish to add.
note: to remove keys, select the key in the list and hit delete
hope this helps. its actually quite easy.
edit: erm... ok i checked my keyclone to make a round robin and dude... its like the easiest thing on earth. you even checked it?
and what part of my post was confusing? i mean you say its confusing, but you dont tell me what you dont understand. kinda doesnt help either of us, you know?
I just never really understood what round robin was used for so I didn't quite understand what to do =/
Havn't been on much got them to 22 now
thanks =)
i see. well now you know! enjoy boxing.
i've just levelled 4x locks (demo spec)up to 60 and only had to use the following macros
(used voids up to 50 and then felguards)
key 1:
/assist focus
/petattack
key 2:
/cast [target=focustarget] curse of agony
key 3:
/cast [target=focustarget] corruption
key 4:
/cast [target=focustarget] shadow bolt
key 5:
/cast [target=focustarget] drain soul
key 6:
/cast [target=focustarget] drain life
key 0:
/script AcceptGroup();
/script AcceptQuest();
/script AcceptTrade();
/script RetrieveCorpse();
/script RepopMe();
/script ConfirmAcceptQuest();
/script StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE");
/script StaticPopup_Hide("QUEST_ACCEPT"
key SHIFT+1:
/target party1
/focus
/follow
I didn't need to use fear or howl of terror, as the voids and felguards dealt with all mobs happily. if i used the dots on lots of mobs in quick succession i would run out of mana, and had to use lifetap occasionally and build my health back up with drain life
