Hello everyone,

I just started 5 boxing a couple days ago with RAF (Main acct > new1 > new2 > new3 > new4, RAF linking) and wanted to get any thoughts/suggestions on improving/streemlining my setup.

I'm running all 5 accounts on 1 computer with Keyclone Maximizer setup so the left 3/4 of my screen is the main window and 4 PIP windows down the right side. F8-F12 keys are set to swap PIP windows with the main window. I also have macros setup to F8-F12 so when I swap a PIP to the main window, that char becomes the leader (not group leader, but everyone else follows and sets them as new focus target).

Currently i use these addons: Jamba, Xperl, Cartographer, Auctioneer, Gatherer, SCT&SCDamage, plus some others i cant think of atm (at work now, sorry) I have all the addons mentioned in ELBA's RAF 1-60 Horde & Alliance guide and have been following that so far. I'm running a BE Prot pally as main/group leader with 4 Troll shamans (3ele,1resto) as my starter 5-boxing group. Currently we are all at lvl 38 and steamrollin on each day!

My current keyboard setup is: I usually have my left hand on # keys 2,3,4, and pinky on Tab to target with (Tab set to DO NOT PASS in keyclone) and i use the mouse buttons to move/steer. Then I have F1-F7 key bound to the bottom left action bar buttons. I have a macro setup on #key 1 for each toon to target the focustarget, i usually hit it to have all the shamans target what the pally is targeting. Then 2 is lightning bolt on each shaman, 3 is earth shock, 4 is flame shock, 5 frost shock, 6 chain lightning. For the Fkeys i have F1 set for each toon to cast a heal on whatever they are targeting(i dont use this much). F2 is my heal tank macro(heal focus targetstarget with some modifiers, or heal who every the tank is targeting if friendly). F3 is blank atm. F4 is Beserker on each shaman, nothing on pally. F5 is my castsequence macro for dropping totems. F6 is just a follow focus(can probably get rid of this since i have F8-F12 doing the same thing). F7 is my big macro, on the pally it invites everyone to the group, on the shamans it accepts group invites, accepts quests, accepts trades, rezs, etc. The + key is my mount/dismount button. The - is drink on each shaman. I use 0 and 9 for buffs, 0 on each shaman casts water shield and 9 on each shaman puts on flame tounge. My spread out key for the shamans is E, which puts them in a + formation with the resto sham in the back. For the Paladin, keys 1 & 2 are blank, 3 is Seal that adds holy dmg to each melee attack, 4 is judgment that prevents mobs from fleeing, 5 is the Hammer stun, 6 is Concecration, 7 & 8 not used. The rest of the paladin abilities are on the bottom right/left action bars and/or right 2 action bars and i click them as needed. Righteous Fury is set to the 9 key so it gets applied when the shamans buff. I usually run with Blessing of Might on the pally and Wisdom on the shamans. Thats about it for key setup, the rest of the letter keys are default mapped, except B which opens all bags.

A typical pull for me goes like this: target mob on pally, hit 1 to target it with the shamans, hit 2 to LBx4, mob comes running in, hit 4 Flameshock x4 and pally judgement so they dont run off, most stuff dies at this point, if it doesnt its usually at less than 20% and the flame shock/pally beating on it finishes it off.

I've just started doing some multimob pulls, they go like this... Shamans spread out and lay down totems. Pally runs around gets a few mobs, brings them back and concecrates. Then i hit key 1 for all to target and then 6 for the shams to chain lightning and if the pally is able he concecrates again. I've only done this a few times but most stuff is dead before i can get a second chain lightning off.

So thats my current setup, anyone have any suggestions, comments, and/or questions??
