thinking of going 3-4 box, need thoughts.

I actually purchased one license for keyclone but I still havent received the license for it yet so I dunno how im going to like it

Open your keyclone and hit the button to send er whatever again, it will verify you paid for the key.

And I think you will be liking it very much

Ya it worked a day or two ago, been playing with it recently using my 2 accounts. It works great but the combo doesnt lol (rogue druid) the targeting is odd and part of the problem is my rogue has run speed enchants for pvp so if I dont follow then they get out of sync and if I do follow there are several times where I cant target with rogue cause he is facing the wrong way. Its a small matter though because that isnt the combos I will be using just getting used to how it works. It was funny purpously talking in guild chat 2x lol, was messing with people's heads.

Found another deal on a 2nd monitor and Im picking it up today and a second memory kit (which I bought february of this year and now costs less than half as much lol). I've been messing with some addons like pitbull to get the feel for them. Pitbull gave me some headaches at first because of its granularity but I got it mostly under control. Now if only I could find a way to hide the boxes and buttons when they have nothing in them... Definately going to use bongos for this and getting the 2nd hard drive to speed up performance, will put 2 WoW folders on root drive and the rest on other drive. When things are all said and done I think I will have 6-7 different WoW folders lol.

well after more research and looking and thinking Im going to go with 5 shamans instead, will make for an easier learning curve with 5 boxing on 1 machine and having 5 shamans droping totems (with the way some of them stack too) is just sexy as hell. See first post for more info.

Nice choice mate, currently 4x shamans at L40 myself, with another waiting at L44. Lots of fun.

However......

Sort out the text size in your 1st post, or I won't even bother trying to read it /wipes blood from eyes

\I did that on purpose cause that was my initial questions/comments. did that so it was still there in case I needed to reference it and the new question is the full size text :P

Well redid my setup and stuff last night and was getting used to macros and stuff, set up my nostromo n52 pad with some macros (using alt-shift-0-9) I created two test shamans on my current accounts and did some testing and so far its working great. Its very simple of course since I only setup 1-2 buttons but the theory is working so now I just need to get maximizer working nicely. I have 6 instances of WoW because for the multiboxing Im using a skew of different addons than I do with my main. Going to take some work to get all the macros and keybidnings setup to be efficient but doing 5 shamans is making it alot easier. I told my brother and he was like "omg i wouild kill to have 5 lvl 70 shamans" lol (he has a 70 ele shaman currently) and my druid is getting closer to 70 hehe.

[marvein]

Well its all setup and running. got the characters created and giuld registered. and the momentI had them all logged in to test syncing I got lots of "wtf?" and "lol" haha it was quite funny. And apparently someone told their buddy cause this 43 came riding in and immediately was like "BOTS!" so I responded on each character like this

char1: actually I
char2: am activelly
char3: on each one
char4: of these
char5: characters

and 3 people laughed and one guy said "haha I told you"

Seems quite a number of them could tell what I was doing and was asking how I was making it work. I was able to quirkily run them together and killed a few mobs before parking them in an inn. Waiting until I have all my macros setup and stuff before going further, just wanted to get the ball rolling. Oh and I get about 36fps on each instance with 1 on main monitor and 4 on the 2nd one. in total Im using around 1.7gigs of RAM but im sure that will go up as I add macros/buttons and configure addons which is why I have more on the way. Haha Im so freaking pumped about this, gotta hurry and finish druid!

Marvein, sounds like I'm just a little behind you in the startup phase. I have 2 characters running right now, using AHK currently for testing and learning. I created a priest/warlock to play with. I no more than finished the first quest and some other level 2 character started following me and seemed curious about what I was doing. No comments, but I could tell he knew something weird was going on. :P

I too have an N52 that I purchased, but it doesn't fit my hand well, so I haven't made any use of it. I also need to setup my 2nd monitor instead of trying to run 2 WoW screens at once on my main 21" widescreen. They just end up being way too small for me to play well.

[marvein]

ya, the nostromo doesnt quite fit my hand the right way either, I find if I turn it slightly at an angle it feels much more natural, even though I lose hte ability to quickly hit some of the buttons. It doesnt bother me that much though because Im doing 5 shamans all of their abilities are the same so I will be using a similar set of key bindings I use on my main accounts in order to control the others. Which involves mapping of course 1-0, shift1-5, alt1-5 and Q,E,T,F,V,X keys reserving the nostromo for those various control functions that I wont use much like changing focus if the leader dies and using long cooldown abilities like earth/fire elementals and bloodlust(since blowing all bloodlust at once would be stupid)

[marvein]

well its alive!!!

dinged lvl 8 tonight before logging. I didnt expect to get this mucha ttention but dang, averaged atleast 5 people following me most of the time lol. Good thing was most of them thought it was either funny or cool with the exception of two QQ'ers.. gotta say keyclone is handy for a mass /ignore

here is my setup, posing for a screenshot



still have a lot of work to do before I can get to doing instances, the healing rotation and targeting is kicking my butt. I new it would be wierd but its proving difficult to wrap my brain around so some more pen and paper work needs to happen tomorrow. Oh and ive total wiped twice because of that lol (that and I was taking on stuff 5-6lvls above me for quests) but Im having a BLAST. the most popular requerst I get is "if you type /dance will they all do it?" so i do it and everyone just cracks up, its funny.

Oh and as for performance, I average 40-50fps on ALL clients outside of major towns, had to make a couple trips into org today for quests and there were a few parts where the alts dropped to 10fps (only lost follow on one of them) and that was when I was walking between the AH and the maiblox so no surprise there. Hopefuly when the 3rd HDD and more ram show up early next week things will be smooth enough.

What spec are your shamans?
Do you just nuke everyone, let the totems work, and hardly not melee?

I'm thinking of getting a 3rd account.

I currently own 3 computers, 2 AMD X2 4400 w/ 2 Gig each, and my laptop Core 2 Duo.

All my machines is setup to use maximizer and 3 wows.

Currently, I use my laptop to play my main 70 prot pally to aoe grind instances, and p-level lowbies.

My 2nd machine can control 1 to 3 wow clients, with macros supporting the main: follow, heals, assist nukes.

Eventually, I want to have 2 clients on each of the AMD X2 4000s, and the 5th on my main laptop.

Account 1:
70 Warrior
70 Rogue
56 Pally (holy) - being p-levelled.

Account 2:
70 Pally (prot w/ Arena/PvP Ret gear)
63 Priest

If I get a 3rd account, I will most likely transfer the 70 Pally to tank, and I can p-level my 56 Holy Pally and my 63 Priest.

As for my goal, I just want to set up for the Death Knight / Lich King Expansion. I read that at 70, you do a quest and it opens your account to create a level 50 or 60 Death Knight.

If I do the quest on 3 accounts, I'd have at least 2 healer accounts, and a main tank account--so I can p-level a Death Knight probably on the Account 1 first.

But I'm also curious on the 3 shaman setup. I've never had a shaman past level 12.
