Due to the smashing success of my dual-box tankadin and holy priest duo (currently L34), my guild is already getting excited by the prospect of me dual-boxing a tank and healer in 10-mans with them when I hit 80.
Of course, my macros and keybinds are pretty simple right now, my heals/etc only have to be targeted on either the pally or the priest, so I just have separate keybinds for each heal/beneficial spell per person.
I'm thinking ahead to raiding and wondering if there's an easy way to handle raid healing with the healer as my slave toon. I'd need to be able to tell her to heal a specific raid member using a specific spell. I've read into macro targeting and found the /targetraid option. Where /targetraid1 always targets the raid leader and /targetraid10 will target the priest herself. Do the rest of the numbers match the position of the toon within the raid exactly as seen on my raid UI? I'm thinking since on the tank I'll see two lists of 5-toons each (each raid group) in my unitframes addon, would I know that the corresponding # will heal that target (with the exception that the priest will be #10 regardless of where she is in the list, ie she swaps numbers with the person in slot #10 if it's not already her) and the raid leader is #1.
Secondly, I'd probably want to use modifiers to make the ten numpad keys cast a specific spell on the given target. An example would be:
Numpad0:
Code:
/targetraid10
/cast [nomod] Renew; [modifier:Shift] Flash Heal; [modifier:Ctrl] Greater Heal; [modifier:Alt] Prayer of Mending
Also, can I combine modifiers to get more than four spells out of a single key, ie Ctrl-Shift could be Dispel Magic, Ctrl-Alt could be Power Word: Shield, etc? Or would I have to resort to using HotkeyNet to send a different key combination to the wow2 window based on modifiers and have more than ten macros/keybinds setup on the priest...
And finally, will my brain be able to handle both tanking using a /castrandom on the pally and also watching raid health and hitting the appropriate key(s) to cast a priest spell on that target? I know I'll never perform as efficiently as a separate person playing each toon. Movement will be a biatch, I could have the priest just follow another healer all the time and rely on them moving properly, but on the "spread the f*** out!" fights it'd be tough managing the priest's movement.
