2 Accounts: Help, please!

[Eveso]

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

[keyclone]

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?

[keyclone]

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

[Eveso]

Alright thanks.

Also, is it feasible to run 2 wows on one computer and a main wow on another?

[keyclone]

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?

[keyclone]

pretty minimal... even my old laptop (1.5GHz single core, 1G DDR2, 64M GRAM, winxp) can run 3 at 800x600 and get 25+ fps
