Thank you again, Khat, for taking the time to reply. That second one, in particular (I had already watched the video) has a link to a post with exactly the sort of detailed instruction I need to begin to figure out how to make this work (http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/3...l=1#post312469).Originally Posted by Khatovar
A setup such as Ualaa is walking through in that post is something I understand and would actually work for me, so I'm trying to emulate it. It would be easy enough to use this method to have my hunter, druid and shammy step back and my monk melee using IWT.
I think I've been able to translate the instructions from the older version of ISBoxer clearly being used at the time of the post to what I'm working with. The only hang-up is with the second section, editing the DPS keys, because I don't have any DPS keys.
I can see these would now be under what is called "Combat" in the KeyMaps, but Combat is empty for me, so I'm looking for instructions on how to set up the DPS1, DPS2, etc keys Ualaa is referring to. Haven't found it yet, but still looking.
Even just following that detailed walk-through has given me a much better feel for what I'm working with and is allowing me to do some limited extrapolation into other contexts. My brain apparently just needs to see it spelled out in tiny baby-steps like that before I can begin to comprehend it.
Yeah, I will definitely be tweaking my plan for how I work with it.http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/4...l=1#post378834

But when it comes down to it, if you aren't doing anything difficult and you're just running quests, you don't need anything complicated. It's a waste of time in most cases to use much more than your biggest nuke or a couple fast casts "out in the world" since everything will be dead before your dots can tick more than twice. I don't even take my guys off follow most of the time when I'm running dailies or world quests.
Yeah, like I said, that step-by-step process Ualaa outlined is exactly the sort of thing I need. Once I figure out what s/he's referring to in the second section, I think I'll be good to go for my first try at running something like this.
Okay, excellent. Thank you. In your option, which is better, doing it that way, or doing it with a comma-separated list?http://wowpedia.org/Castsequence
This is a reset=#. In this case, reset is using an idle timer of a third of a second {0.3}, so the macro won't reset until there is at least 1/3rd of a second between button presses OR it reaches the end of the line in the macro. The 0's are not part of the reset, they are equipment slots used to put in a delay so the macro has a chance to try the spell on the next line in the macro.
Okay, awesome, good to know.Your toons are just going to keep running their personal sequences with no regard for what any other toon's sequence is doing. You don't need to and shouldn't attempt to "time out" the macros among your team to make the cast times match. It is futile because of latency, haste etc, and the attempt will only ruin your DPS/"rotation." Build everyone proper macros for their class/spec and don't worry about timing it perfectly, it simply won't ever happen - even on teams where everyone is the exact same class and spec.
Thank you again for your time. I know it's a pain to read long messages and write long replies, and I appreciate the help very much.
