Multibox Naxxramas

[Basilikos]

If my employment situation would correct itself, I'd SO be 10 boxing right now. I'm not quite done leveling the second 5-man team, but they're getting there. Until then, I'll have to keep content with the theory crafting. But gratz are in order since this is no easy feat.

Grats.. incredible stuff

I'm curious with how you go about healing with regards to your key bindings. For my group I use 1-5 based on the order it appears (at least before 3.1..) on my tanks screen. Do you use like 1-0 or something? Seperate keys to heal for each healer?

I'm curious as to the Heigan fight. From the looks of it, you have 2 /follow macros, one for the main tank and another for another toon. From the video it looks like you have the whole raid minus the MT follow one toon over to zone 1, then all follow the MT, dance dance dance, then when its over, 8 toons follow the same other toon (OT?) back to the platform?

And on phase 1 of Thaddius, how did you manage targeting during the tank swap? I'm guessing you all targeted based off someone other than the 2 tanks?

I'm starting to learn that standard targeting, following and moving isn't gonna cut it for multiboxing raids. I need to start setting up more advanced keybinds for myself.

And Grats btw!

You're close. I use two macros for the Heigan fight.

Macro 1: Everybody follows the main tank.
Macro 2: Everybody but the main tank follows the off-tank.

When I'm running to and from the platform, I'm making use of macro 2. When I'm doing the dance I make use of macro 1.

On Thaddius, I make use of a special target macro. For example the people on the Feugen side use:

/targetexact Thaddius
/targetexact Feugen

And thanks.

I follow a similar principle. Because I'm making use of a Wolfking Warrior for my gaming keyboard, I'm using a slightly different set of keys, but like you I have basic heals bound to keys that are placed in the same order as my party. I use 4 - 7 for party 1 and alt 4 - 7 for party 2. I then use O and B along with various alt/shift/ctrl modifiers for healing the tanks. Because I'm using keymaps, the healer that responds to a keybind sometimes depends on the particular fight I'm in. Mostly though I'm lazy in Naxx and leave individual party member healing to only one of my two priests. I then have various AoE heals attached to the "," and "." keys. ( My key choices may sound odd, but they'll make more sense if you Google for an image of the Warrior. )

I can get away with the in-order keybinds due to using Pitbull unit frames - it allows me to keep my raid sorted such that raid members are in the same order across all clients.
