So my GF is a dual boxer needs some insight on how to heal a full ten man raid effeciently.
Right now we are worried about such bosses like thadius and the DDR dance, also four horseman.
Is dual healing easy, is it impossible please give me some insight.
Bump, please this is for my 10 man raid.
I never had a problem dual-healing. I used a paladin and a druid, personally. Paladin MT healed, druid spammed hots where needed. It's no different than DPS boxing. Know where to go, move when you need to.
i would start with using healbot addon to get a good overview and easy click 'n heal.
I use a priest for my 5 box team, so when i heal i just have one macro for MT and use AOE heal for the rest of the team.
but for raiding i would not use macros tho this would depend on which class you are healing with
Just a thought, but if I were to try this I would probably go with a ftl on the secondary and a click to cast on the primary.
So, primary targets someone and I hit the heal button for my secondary, or I control left click to heal with my primary.
This way my mouse could stay on top of the unit frames the whole time and I would not have to look much at the second screen.
Hmm... damn you, this is a good idea. Might have to try it out.
Sorry can you explain ftl? I'm not sure what this means.Quote:

It's based on keymapping. Like say if you are in WoW instance #1 (toon 1 screen) and press lets say q, it sends y to the other window, and vice versa. On q you have /cast heal and on y you have a macro with for example /cast [target=Toon1/2-target] Heal
To do it with more then two it gets a new depth like this:
Q/Y
Toon 1 Q sends keymap Q1
Toon 2 Q sends keymap Q2
Toon 3 Q sends keymap Q3
Toon 1 has shift-Y mapped to Q2
Toon 1 has ctrl-Y mapped to Q3
Toon 2 has Y mapped to Q1
Toon 2 has ctrl-Y mapped to Q3
Toon 3 has Y mapped to Q1
Toon 3 has shift-Y mapped to Q2
When toon 1 presses Q it sends Q1 to the other two which are then mapped to post unmodified Y for both 2 and 3. Based on this example, below the bolded area will be the bit the macro will read to use toon1 as the main.
Ingame macro's:
Toon 1 Y is
/target [nomod:ctrl,nomod:alt,mod:shift] Toon2 ; [mod:ctrl,nomod:shift,nomod:alt] Toon3
/target targettarget
/cast
Toon 2 Y is
/target [nomod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift] Toon1 ; [mod:ctrl,nomod:shift,nomod:alt] Toon3
/target targettarget
/cast
Toon 3 Y is
/target [nomod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift] Toon1 ; [nomod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt] Toon2
/target targettarget
/cast
And this way it doesn't matter which screen you are in, the screens you are not in (alts) automatically see the char of the screen you are in as the leader. Full-automatic.
You can set this up in Keyclone through the keymap options. Assing keymaps to your wow instances.
That's probably the shortest rundown of the ftl set up you can get.
(PS: I've no idea how Tynk would want to implement the ftl set up based on his example however. Ftl is specifically for swapping characters (screens) (if one dies or if the situation arises for you to 'leader' the other character in one way or another.)
