New to Dual-boxing.com, ideas and advice!
Hello all this is my first post here after finding your awesome website about 3 nights ago...
I am currently only 2 boxing two locks on one monitor but having lots of fun. Below is some ideas I have for my action bar and hot keys. I did take a look at the one Bradster has in the macro guide for his locks but figured I would tweak it a bit.
Most of this I obtained from the following warlock macro guide located http://<a href="http://forums.worldo...1&pageNo=1</a>
I can safely say that most of these were NOT created with multi-boxing at this time so I wanted to post this here for you all to look at and give me your thoughts. If its something that can be refined and posted later as a warlock boxing setup guide then all the better...
(I am at work so I can not test these for another good 4 hours so let me know of any syntax or logical errors please!)
Thanks in advance,
Dark
My action bar + hotkey setup idea:
~ key. Assist Main
/assist party1 (blank on main) (not tested, I used /assist focus until now but that would mess with my round robin focus fears/seducing, etc. right?)
1. WAND
#showtooltip
/cast [equipped:wand] Shoot
2. Nukes
*This is a space saving macro will cast Shadowbolt if pressed normally, Soul Fire with shift, Searing Pain with ctrl and Shadowburn with alt.
#showtooltip
/cast [nomodifier] Shadow Bolt; [modifier:alt] Shadowburn; [modifier:shift] Soul Fire; [modifier:ctrl] Searing Pain
3. DoTs - Instance order 1/non-dispelling PvP
* This will cast a different spell in the sequence each time the button is pressed. It will reset when you leave combat or change targets. This has UA last, and allows you to cast 4 of your 5 dots while on the move, and regain health from Siphon Life at an early stage. This macro will cast Amplify Curse if you hold down alt.
#showtooltip
/cast [modifier:alt] Amplify Curse
/stopcasting [modifier:alt]
/castsequence reset=Target/Combat Corruption, Siphon Life, Curse of Agony, Immolate, Unstable Affliction
4. Drain-One Button Draining for Dummies
*This macro will cast Drain Life without any buttons held, drain soul with alt held, and mana with ctrl. It will interupt the channel to channel a different spell, but not the same spell. ie. you can interupt drain life with drain soul, but not with a second drain life. Since your pet commands are automatically mapped to ctrl 1-9, you may need to either re-map them or use a modifier other than ctrl.
#showtooltip
/cast [nochanneling:Drain Soul, modifier:alt] Drain Soul; [nochanneling:Drain Mana, modifier:ctrl] Drain Mana; [nochanneling:Drain Life, nomodifier] Drain Life;
5. Life Tap/Dark Pact 2
*This macro will cast Dark Pact if you have an imp summoned, or lifetap otherwise. You can force it to cast Life Tap by holding down any modifier, even if an imp is summoned.
#showtooltip
/cast [pet=imp, nomodifier] Dark Pact; Life Tap
6. Memorized Fearing/Seducing (Round Robin set in Keyclone)
*This will seduce your focus if you have your succubus out, fear if you dont, or fear your current target if you hold ctrl (regardless of focus).
#showtooltip
/clearfocus [modifier:alt]
/focus [target=focus,noexists];[target=focus,dead]
/clearfocus [target=focus,help]
/cast [modifier:ctrl]Fear; [pet:succubus,target=focus,harm]Seduction;[target=focus,harm]Fear;[pet:succubus]Seduction;Fear
7. Death Coil/Howl of Terror (Round Robin set in Keyclone)
*This is a space saving macro that will cast Death Coil, or Howl of Terror with alt held down.
#showtooltip
/cast [modifier:alt] Howl of Terror; Death Coil
8. Mana tap/Torrent (alt+8 )
#showtooltip
/cast [modifier:alt] Torrent; [nomodifier] Mana Tap
9. Pet Special -Multipet All-in-One macro
This macro will do the most common actions for each pet. Modified from one by Serick on Page 4 of the original thread I linked. It will cause the VW to attack your target (for grinding). It will also... Devour Magic off yourself with alt, or your target without; Seduce your target; Sacrifice a VW with alt held; Dark Pact an imp; and Intercept with a FG out.
#showtooltip
/cast [pet:felhunter,target=player,modifier:alt] [pet:felhunter] Devour Magic; [pet:succubus] Seduction; pet:voidwalker, modifier:alt] Sacrifice; [pet:imp] Dark Pact; [pet:felguard] Intercept
/petattack [pet:voidwalker]
10. Summon Pets (Summons VW with alt+8, Succubus w/ ctrl+8, Fel Hound w/ 8+shift, and Imp by itself and I will probably round robin this as well so I can select diff pets if need be) (not tested)
#showtooltip
/cast [modifier:alt] Summon Voidwalker [modifier:ctrl] Summon Succubus [modifier:shift] Summon Fel Hound [nomodifier] Summon Imp
-. (not sure yet)
=. /follow focus (not sure yet, what I have been using it for. I should bind it to a key but havent yet. I tend to use it alot after channeling type spells)
H key- Create/Use Major Healthstone
*This macro creates a Master Healthstone if you hold alt, and uses it if you don't. To set it for a different type of Healthstone, use a lower rank and a different name for the healthstone.
#showtooltip
/cast [modifier:alt] Create Healthstone
/use [nomodifier] Master Healthstone
S key- Create/Use Soul stone (not tested) (Round Robin)
*This macro creates a Soul stone if you hold alt, and uses it if you don’t.
#showtooltip
/cast [modifier:alt] Create Soulstone
/use [target=player1target] Soulstone
Look forward to any tips/advice

Re: New to Dualboxing.com, ideas and advice!
Only warning I have for you is, suggesting to add either "harm" to all of your macros... i.e.
/cast [harm,nodead] <spell>
OR Add this to the top of each of your macros:
/assist <name>
/stopmacro [noharm]
What I'm concerned about is if you accidentally end up pulling an add that you didn't intend because your secondary either wasn't supposed to assist but tab'ed a mob and started attacking. Since it sounds like you're only 2-boxing, adding /assist <name> to the top of each button seems like it would work.
