Mixed Groups

[chaosultimamage]

ty for all the responses. Definitely a huge help, though I haven't started a mixed group yet, been trying to get different classes to the same level so it'll be less confusing.

@Niknak - I'm not sure about the limitations of Clonekeys but if you want to keep it from broadcasting certain keys, you'll have to unbind them in your Keybindings in-game. For mine, I actually unbound several keys that I did want passed, just not for what they were doing by default. Unbind Enter for starting chat, / for starting chat, R for replying, and the WASD for movement.

Is this on all the chars or just the slaves? I'd guess just the slaves because you'd certainly want that capability on the master.

1 Wand (all)

I had this bound all the way to 80. Now I've got it unbound. I just don't have many circumstances where wanding is efficient.

Edit: This might be just because I run warlocks (lifetap + group heal FTW).

Right, you'd just unbind these on your slaves, since you'll probably want to do these functions on your main. I've been debating unbinding space bar for jump on them too so they don't hop while I'm typing. xD But sometimes they get stuck and jumping is helpful. I dunno, bind it to Ctrl+Shift J or something.

Basically, I use the wand when the mob I'm targeting has less than 1% health and I don't really want to fire 3 spells when 3 wand shots (1 each) is plenty to kill it.

@ OP,

As has been stated, your BEST option for running a mixed team is going to be a /castsequence macro. Determine what "rotation" you want each toon to run, and then create a macro for it. For Rogues / DKs, where they have two different abilities (building combo points -> finishing moves / Using Runes -> Mana Dump) you can seperate it out into two different spammable sequences

You could go [/castsequence sinister strike, sinister strike, sinister strike] on button 1 and then [Evicerate.... etc] on button 2 (I don't play a rogue, so idk ANYTHING about their actual rotation... this is just an example).

If you are a "control freak", you can then bind each ability to [Shift] + ___. That way, you can have a trash-mob spam button and still be able to have your toons perform specific abilities when you want them to.

@ Person asking about clonekeys

As a Mac user, I can officially say that after TWO years, I have finally found something available on the PC that I CAN'T get an equivalent for on my Mac. I tried using clonedkeys, but the suxor that it was was too mach for me to handle. I broke down and started using Bootcamp so that I can run TRUE MBing software. After only 3 days I am AMAZED that I ran without it. If you can find a way to run Bootcamp with real MB software, DO IT... at least until someone writes a true program for the Mac.
