Keybinds setup for 3 shaman?

[pinotnoir]

Anyone have any suggestions on keybinds for 3 shamans? I have the default keybinds right now but it would be sweet if someone had some good bind suggestions. I tried the search feature here and it shows me many threads unrelated and when I click back in my browser the search page is deleted. So I have been typing the search in over and over which is getting old.

THanks for the help!

easy, [pick spell i like] -> add key ?

to help a bit more, you will need to bind something to lightning bolts and shocks, ow dont forget some optional healing/cleansing, after that some totem sets, and voila!

I just started 3 boxing shammies, which makes me far from an expert. But this is basically what I've done.

Main toon casts Lightning Bolt. That button I pressed activates the macro
/assist party1(my main toon)
/cast Lightning Bolt
This has them all casting lightning bolt on the same target. I actually use a macro floating around here (it's on a sticky) that allows Lightning Bolt to be cast on the original target you picked, but that above one will work for the basics.

I did pretty much the same thing with the Heal. Bound that to a key.

For totems, I basically have four buttons set away which bind to the four "schools" of nature magic. One toon will pop down Earthbind, another pops down Stoneskin, and one other might pop down strength of Earth..and so on. You can do whichever appeals to your playstyle.

For shocks, since I'm still in the levelling stage, I have each toon doing one of the shocks that I want him too, and they'll all do their respective shock with the same keybind. For example, I hit E and two shammies do Flame Shock, and one does Earth Shock. Or whatever you'd prefer.

And that's it for the basic way to go. As you gather more totems, you might want to have different hotkeys set up for different situations. For instance, I might want three searing totems set up, or maybe three magmas.

I only have a /target key and a /assist key.

So its like this.

Shift R target my main.
Shift E assist my main
E to cast lightning bolt.

how do you manage healing your toons? I find it hard to make them target the person taking damage and all healing at the same time. I was thinking of making a healing macro with like heal spell name and just make 3 buttons bound so if one is in trouble I just hit the heal him button.

Another thing I am wondering about is how do you control the others if your main dies? I had to unbind the wsad movement on the two followers. This is all new. So far I have them to lvl 8. Some of the lowbie collection quest suck. Not sure if I can skip them or what. My only shaman toon was level 25 so I dont know much about shamans.

main character targets the one that needs to be healed
lets say healing wave in is button 4 on all the characters
have the main use the actual spell
have the alts use a macro with this in it instead of the actual spell
[code:1] /cast [target=party1target] healing wave[/code:1]
press 4 and the alts targets wont change but they will cast on the main's target
or an alternative have
all the alts have slot 4 empty start to cast a detrimental spell hit your pause button have the main heal the one that needs healing and walk away clean

first one works better for me in instances because if i need to heal in an instance i need the charac ters full health

For healing i use F1 - F4
F1 = /target main /cast chainheal
F2 = /target toon1 /cast chainheal
F3 = /target toon2 /cast chainheal
F4 = /selftarget /cast chainheal

outdoor pve this bindings works, bur sometimes i wish i could only take 1 shaman for healing :>

So its like this.

Shift R target my main.
Shift E assist my main
E to cast lightning bolt.

im sorry but thats very .... obnoxious. the fact that you need to press 3 keys to just start attacking.
My macro for lighting bolt on my 2x shami:
/target Zeoko
/assist
/cast (Lighting bolt rank 1)

it makes it so you an just press 1 button and attack

lighting bolt is on "Q" so when i press Q i start to cast lighting bolt and so does my alt.

for healing macros. just do:
/target Zeoko
/cast ("heal") and put this macro on a button not used my your main.

i have "C" blank on my main and on my alt i have that macro on "C", so when i press "C" my main does nothing, and my alt heals me.

of course though you have more exp duel boxing then me. i just started yesterday :P

I wonder if there's a simple addon you can install on the one Shaman as a hybrid dps/healer that will select the "tank", check his health, cast 1 spell if he's below 50% health, lets say, and then select focus (the mob you're DPSing) and cast lightning bolt if he's ABOVE 50%.
