Detailed Description of Maxion's Setup, Addons, Keybindings and Macros

(Edit: note that the information in this thread is now slightly old, but most of it is still exactly, or at least almost, like what I'm still using. I plan to eventually get around to updating it, since I like to keep it as a backup for myself in case my stuff gets deleted)

Here is the complete writeup detailing my setup for my multiclass team (mainly) with addons, keybindings and macros. (wow, the word draft ended up at 23 pages with double spacing) xD

Keybindings set in the blizzard keybinding interface (anything not listed has been unbound):
MB# = mouse button Num# = numpad on all = same for all accounts

All other keybindings listed in the posts below are bound in Macaroon (spellbook only, when listed)

With the above movement key setup, I can do various formations with the following key combinations:
Hold Num7 and Num8, release Num7 before Num8 (faster for tighter formation) = line
Can adjust with Num 3, Num6, and Num7, Num8 to position for chain heal star on shamans
Hold Num7, Num8, Num9 and Num3 = X formation
Team Strafing hold Num1 and Num4 for left, and Num2 and Num5 for right
The split strafe setup is for strafing half the team at a time out of los for stuff like the 4th boss in BWL. Not needed anymore at 80 though.

Now for the main buttons on the actionbar:

1 : Tanking spam button
Paladin: (will set up a proper 696 when i start tanking real raids, but so far this has been more than sufficient)

Code:

#show /startattack /castsequence reset=10 Consecration, Holy Shield, Judgement of Wisdom, Hammer of the Righteous, Shield of Righteousness

Druid: Blank
Shaman:

Code:

#show Purge /cast [target=focustarget,exists][target=target,exists][] Purge

Mage:

Code:

#show /cast [target=focustarget,exists,harm][target=target,exists,harm][] Spellsteal

Priest: Blank (sometimes put something here, like dispels for achievement on keristazsa)

2 : DPS spam button
Paladin: Hammer of Wrath (dragged from spellbook)

Druid:

Code:

#show Wrath /click MacaroonButton12 /castsequence [target=focustarget,exists][target=target,harm][] reset=5/target Faerie Fire,Insect Swarm,Moonfire,null /castsequence [target=focustarget,exists][target=target,harm][] Wrath,Starfire

Druid (alternative macro that gives better dps on bosses when un-commenting the assist line in the pop macro (see below)):

Code:

#show /click MacaroonButton12 /castsequence reset=combat/target Faerie Fire, null /castsequence reset=5/target Insect Swarm,Moonfire,Starfire,Starfire,Starfire,Insect Swarm,Wrath,Wrath,Wrath,Wrath,Wrath,Wrath,Wrath,Wrath,Wrath,Wrath

Shaman:

Code:

#show Lightning Bolt /click MacaroonButton12 /click MacaroonButton10 /castsequence [target=focustarget,harm][target=target,harm][] Lightning Bolt, /castsequence [target=focustarget,harm][target=target,harm][] reset=6 ,Flame Shock,Lava Burst,Lava burst

Mage:

Code:

#show Frostbolt /click MacaroonButton12 /petattack! [target=focustarget,harm][target=target,harm][] /castsequence [target=focustarget,exists,harm][target=target,exists,harm][] Frostbolt, /castsequence [combat] ,Summon Water Elemental, Mirror Image

Priest:

Code:

#show Power Infusion /cast [target=Hydrosphere,nodead,combat][target=Atmosphere,nodead,combat][target=Biosphere,nodead,combat][target=self,combat] Power Infusion

3 : Heal tank button
Priest: (trinket use line i add/remove depending on if i have useable trinkets or not)

Code:

#showtooltip Flash Heal /use [combat] 13 /cast [combat] Berserking /cast [combat] Inner Focus /cast [target=Geosphere] Flash Heal

Alt-3 : Shield and hot tank button
Priest:

Code:

#showtooltip /castsequence [target=Geosphere] reset=15 Power Word: Shield, Renew, /castsequence [target=Geosphere] reset=15 ,,Renew

4 : Heal druid button
Paladin:

Code:

#show /cast [target=Biosphere] Cleanse

Priest:

Code:

#showtooltip /cast [target=Biosphere] Flash Heal

Alt-4 : Shield and hot druid button
Priest:

Code:

#showtooltip /castsequence [target=Biosphere] reset=15 Power Word: Shield, Renew, /castsequence [target=Biosphere] reset=15 ,,Renew

Heal and shield buttons continue through 7 (where 7 targets the priest).
Shield & hot cast sequence for some reason is shared between all the different target ones though, so if I hit Alt-3 to shield the tank and then hit Alt-4 to shield the druid, it'll cast the hot instead, since it continues the old sequence for some reason. So to shield the whole team atm I have to hit the button twice for each person, which works well enough for now, though I'd like to get it fixed eventually.

8 : CC button (never really use this, but I have it just in case, in which case I would pre target each CC on each character before combat, so hitting it would CC each of their targets, since all other targeting is done through focus)
Paladin: Turn Evil (dragged from spellbook)

Druid:

Code:

#show /cast [target=target,harm][target=focustarget,harm][] Hibernate

Shaman: Hex (dragged from spellbook)

Mage:

Code:

#show /cast [target=target,harm][target=focustarget,harm][] Polymorph

Priest:

Code:

#show /cast [target=target,harm][target=focustarget,harm][] Shackle Undead

Alt-8 : Oh shit button
Paladin: Divine Sacrifice (dragged from spellbook, and since I don't use this button a lot, I sometimes click this button manually on the paladin)
Druid: Barkskin (dragged from spellbook)
Shaman: Earthbind Totem (dragged from spellbook)
Mage: Frost Nova (dragged from spellbook)
Priest: Fade (dragged from spellbook)

9 : Prepare for battle button (spam a bit before pulling)
Paladin: Blank (allows for clicking the button behind it, as mentioned below)

Druid:

Code:

#show Moonkin Form /cast [noform] Moonkin Form

Shaman:

Code:

#showtooltip /castsequence reset=30 Call of the Elements, null

Mage: Blank

Priest:

Code:

#showtooltip /castsequence [target=Geosphere] reset=5 Prayer of Mending, Power Word: Shield, , Renew, Fear Ward

Alt-9 : Force redrop of totems (for quicker movement between fights, or movement during fights, etc)
Paladin: Sacred Shield (dragged from spellbook, clickable since the paladin has no button in the normal 9 slot which would be on top of alt-9)
Shaman: Call of the Elements (dragged from spellbook, the only totem set i use, which when needed i edit on the fly in the totemtimers interface)

0: Buff button as mentioned in the common buttons above

- : Pop Cooldowns button (click for aoe interrupt on pally, and called in the dps macro on the dpsers through /click MacaroonButton 12)
Paladin: Arcane Torrent (dragged from spellbook)

Druid: (the /target line gets the extra / at the start removed when using the alternate dps macro)

Code:

#show 13 /click MacaroonButton10 //target [target=focustarget,harm] /use [combat] 13 /use [combat] 14

Shaman:

Code:

#show Elemental Mastery /use [combat] 13 /use [combat] 14 /cast [combat] Elemental Mastery /cast [combat] Blood Fury

Alt-- (Alt dash): Rez button
Paladin: Redemption (dragged from spellbook)

Druid:

Code:

#showtooltip /cast [target=focustarget,dead,help][target=target,dead,help][] Revive

Shaman:

Code:

#showtooltip /cast [target=focustarget,dead,help][target=target,dead,help][] Ancestral Spirit

Mage: Blank (duh)

Priest:

Code:

#show Resurrection /cast [target=focustarget,dead,help][target=target,dead,help][] Resurrection

= : Volashj button (currently)
Dpsers: (with their respective spammable highest dps spell)

Code:

#show Lightning Bolt /cast [harm] Lightning Bolt /stopmacro [harm] /targetenemy

Alt-= : Skinning and mote extractor (only for those that have it, with extractor just dragged into bar)

Code:

#showtooltip Skinning /cast [target=focustarget,dead][dead] Skinning

The hidden Pain Suppression bar of the priest:
Shift-3 through 7: (name changed for each respective button, to correspond with healing target of the normal 3 through 7 buttons)

Code:

#show /cast [target=Geosphere] Pain Suppression

And a couple buttons that are only on the main:

Z : Profession tracking button (only on main, where I have mining and herbalism for both my main teams)
Paladin:

Code:

#showtooltip /castsequence Find Minerals, Find Herbs

Invite button: (only on main, clicked, since i'm still using jamba 0.4)

Code:

/invite Biosphere /in 1 /invite Atmosphere /in 2 /invite Hydrosphere /in 3 /invite Erosphere

Anything else, I just have laid out in the bars on the various characters and click them manually, to reduce the amount of keybindings to remember/misshit.

Most used spells that I click in this way:
Divine Plea, Avenging Wrath, and pretty much all other paladin cooldowns
Bloodlust, elemental totems if i ever use them, water walking
Shadowfiend, mass dispel (needs to be click targeted anyway), priest dps spells, hymns (never used those yet)
Innervate, Battle Rez
Druid and shaman healing spells (when they are specced caster dps)
mage portals, evocate, blink (for when moving the mage by itself, sometimes), food, table, invis, mana gem (never used that yet)
etc.

And as mentioned above, I often move my mouse over to the priests window to spam holy nova (sometimes even use prayer of healing, though rarely), while using the keybindings to continue takning and single target dps.
At this moment I do not have a good key I could assign to just holy nova to spam while I spam 1 and 2, but clicking works fine.

Note that until the forum reloads this pic from photobucket, the priests hidden bar incorrectly says power infusion instead of pain suppression.

Reserved. Looks like posts could be a lot longer than I thought. Nice.

For another boxer looking at your description...

The most useful would probably be, an overview post which shows all of your keybinds and what they do on each toon.

Something like:

Shift A
- Paladin: Consecrate
- Priest: Holy Nova
- Mages: Broadcasts the mouse click for Blizzard.

Alright, i'll make them sorted by button then :)
Thanks for the reply :D

Note on the healing castsequences: I have a similar problem, I have 5 different macros for healing my 5 different team members but triggering one of these macros seems to advance all of them along the castsequence. I don't know if there is some kind of optimization on Blizzard's end which results in this behaviour.

So you push 1 and 2 continuously during boss fights for tanking and DPSing? And then micro manage healing, dispelling, etc?
