So I read all the guides and stuff of course, but I just can't figure out how to work this. I want to use two accounts. One with a 70 Priest, and one with a 60 Hunter. I don't really understand which character I should be physically using, and then how I can get the other one to do my commands (heal or dps).
It seems playing a hunter and having a few buttons to heal would be easiest, but I need help.
How do I start?
First buy keyclone.
Then set it up so you have added both wow accounts to the keyclone.
Go to the key commands and click white list and white list keys 1 2 3 and q e and f
On your priest make a macro that will heal your hunter and bind it to q then make a macro for shield bind it to f and renew bind it to e.
on buttons 1 2 and 3 for both characters set up your dps spells
So on the priest button 1 would be your dot for shadow word pain and on your hunter it would be serp sting
button 2 would be steady shot for the hunter and mind blast for the priest and button 3 would be mind flay and either con shot or something else.
this is the setup I use.
So on the hunter it would do priest damage and vice versa
not exactly.
think of it as if you could simultanouesly press the same key on 2 different keyboards...
they would each do their associated action.
so... pressing '1' would trigger the action bar associated with '1'... doing different things depending on the character.
ie:
priest: shadow pain
hunter: serpent sting
one key press... goes into both screens.. triggering 2 actions
Oooooh, is it really that easy to setup?
in a word... yes
doing what i can to make it easier for you guys...
if you can think of anything that will make it even simpler... drop me a note
Alright thanks.
Also, is it feasible to run 2 wows on one computer and a main wow on another?
with keyclone, yes.
many ways to do it... easiest is to type in the ip and port of your main machine into the auto-connect field in the setup panel. when it starts up, it will connect to the keyclone on the other machine.
once the communications are established... you can run however many wows you want on each machine, and it will work as stated above. (this is where maximizer makes it look pretty sexy)
Sweet, what kind of stuff (ram, processor) do I need to run 2+ copies of wow?
pretty minimal... even my old laptop (1.5GHz single core, 1G DDR2, 64M GRAM, winxp) can run 3 at 800x600 and get 25+ fps
Thank you.
Do you by chance know a place to get computers like that? With older, cheaper parts? Or is building the way to go
if you are looking for a laptop... whatever you get, make sure it is using dedicated graphics memory and not shared system memory. the difference is massive
as to where to get machines like this... i dunno. i got this one while running a small software company in Tallinn, Estonia about 3-4 years ago.
i have noticed around here that microcenter hoses you on laptops while best buy gives better deals. build your own laptop? depending on your skillz :)
desktops are much easier to gather parts for and build. much better bang for the buck. most mid range desktops today (in the US) will run about $500-600 and should do 2+ wows without much problem. add a better graphics board and more system memory and you should be able to get 4... but your price might be $700-1000 by that time.
i have several old machines, so my configs vary ...
but soon... very soon.... i'm going to bite the bullet and upgrade to a quad-core w/ 3G system memory and dual pci-x cards w/ 256M each.. and multi 24" screens...
muhahahaha
*cough*
sorry about... got carried away
tough to justify spending more when you have enough to get by... which is the mindset that has been keeping me from getting the 50" plasma...
