I started out ironman....still am pretty much, it's just my "keyboards" got alot more fancy. If I stay with EQ2, each account will get an Xkeys pro. and I will set-up each character where the top two rows of 18 keys are genera (not sure what to put here yet)l, the left 10 keys will assis tank (heals, nukes, attacks), the outboad 10 keys will assist my melee (some kinda scout...probably trabadour...heals nukes attacks) and the 20 middle keys will be heals to each toon other then the 2 melee, pet control, different follow commands and whatever with the bottem two rows devoted to herorics....all in a picture icon for each key that I can understand at a glance. That's for individual control for each character. Will also tie my non-melee's in with my 4 port vetra and hook up another Xkey's pro to that for normal grind operation. I may even put an Xkeys pro on my tank and scout as well. Multiplicity is a great tool, but it's nice not to have to mouse click, especially if I gotta drag the mouse over to another screen.

Effort for this...well, I dunno about EQ2, but I expect it to get easier for me compared to my 10 boxing in EQ1. With my set-up I pretty much watch tv while I button mash the xkeys. Adding in the vetra really cut down my effort as well, although I still demand individual control ...hence all the Xkeys I have lol. I would expect for 80%, maybe 90% of my play in EQ2, I won't need all the Xkeys for each character if I set-up the single X-keys running through the vetra right, but it's nice to be able to have have 1 character do X, while another does Y and another does Z..etc... that was not already maco'd ino the X-keys off the verta, because you cannot account for every combination
