I used AHK for a weekend and as a laymen to script it was tough. The learning curve was very apparent and I basically just copy and pasted things, tried to edit what didn’t work and ended up settling for the 0-9 keys, - and = (and maybe a couple of letters).

Enter, space, esc- couldn’t get them to work. I also felt like I was at risk of the ban stick b/c the program I was using “could” be used to write scripts that do multiple actions.

After a weekend I was up and going, but nothing too impressive. The mages would point and fire at the same target, but I wouldn’t try to pvp or anything.

Yesterday I dropped $10 on Key Clone. The set up took me about 20sec to figure out. I was up and flying with my mages in a matter of minutes. I was sheeping two targets, alternating frost novas and focusing on one target at a time burning them down. I would jump in a aggro 5 mobs or so just to test myself and I was thoroughly impressed with how easy it was to control both toons.

I can’t wait until my mid 20s to try some aoe grinding action.

AHK may be free and may be able to do a lot more than Key Clone – but I’ll gladly pay the $10 for simplicity. You down load it, you buy it, you spend 20 sec setting it up and then you dual box. It is defiantly worth 10 bucks for us ‘non-programmer’ types.

Key Clone seems safer too. Blizzard could ban you for anything they wanted, but when it comes down to it, I don’t feel save using the same program someone could use to bot. Lets say they catch a botter using AHK and scan for others using it – ban, ban, ban.

You can’t bot with Key Clone – so it just seems safer to me. Technically I am still pressing one hardware key to perform two software actions on one computer – so per some GM chats- its not allowed. But I am actually running two virtual boxes on one computer- so it’s a gray area at least. It seems like the line is if you split the signal with hardware or software. I would prefer to spilt it with hardware, but I am limited to one PC at the moment, so I will go with software. Key Clone seems to be the safer of the two options.
