Only Two Hands - How do you do it?

[Gormand]

Im still new to what I would call proper boxing My team is at levels 61-63 only being brought together at level 60-61 and has only done 2 instances so I imagine changes will be made over the coming weeks. But here is my current setup along with some changes I plan to make before I continue
I lead with my DK tank and have my Shamn heals and 3x Hunter DPS following
1 - My have all my followers target my tanks target
2 - My DPS /click button, each hit sets target to current tanks target
3 - My tanking macro
4 - My DPS /click button, with DPS hitting their existing target (Allows me to tank 1 target and DPS another)
5-8 - Tanking buttons, Death Grip, Strangulate etc
Grave key - Interact with target DPS
\ is Interact with target healer
Healing is done on the numpad, this is almost certainly going to change but currently
1-3 Tank heals -healing wave, riptide, chainheal
4-6 DPS Heals, each is a cast sequence of riptide + chain heal
7-9 DPS heals for Healing wave
0 . and + are my healers self heals
I make sure that my DPS are always on my party bars in the same order so I always know which button to hit to heal them.
F7 is totems

So thats how I do all my tanking, DPS and healing, but movement is the main question, well mine could prob improve but ATM
WASD - Tank movement as standard controls, as I use mouse for clicking I can easily right click to strafe and such, also one of my mouse thumb buttons is autorun.
Arrows - Move all the followers, Forward, back, Strafe Left and Right. I realise this makes it hard to move and heal at the same time.
Q - Turns off strobe follow from my tank and on all other toons backs them up, this allows me to hit Q and have all my guys instantly stop following.

I think thats about it, will be interesting to see how it holds up in the future though.

I'm seriously considering foot pedals. One for Vent. One for a modifier key. Not actually have to press the fucking modifier key would really free up my fingers alot.

I also want a big pedal I cant just stamp on that blows all my cooldowns and launches my biggest nukes at an opponent in PvP. I could have a backup voice commander pro where I could scream "DIE MOTHERFUCKERRRRRrrrrr" or some such and it would be beautiful.

Also why are you not using repeater regions Fur? You clearly use Innerspace by your forum image under your avatar? I currently use ShadowUnitFrames, Grid AND Vuhdo. Vuhdo is just for my healer(s).

Fur & Grey,

Personal vandetta's or just for kicks?

Peace it

I wish I could do a =countIf(all posts, "Use search"). How many times have people posted "Use search" Seriously thats basically what Fur was saying. If you aren't going to come up with your own methods then search other peoples. I can't count how many guides and idea threads have been posted on alternate methods on these forums.

Now, I'm not going to discount that some of this was uncalled for, but Fur's not the only person here that doesn't sugar coat his posts. In all honesty this question can expect similar answers to a high schooler asking his classmates how to walk without tripping, or walk and talk at the same time. Your bound to get some ROFL's and some honest help.

Sometimes asking a simple question like this is a good way to get people to share their new ideas and what not though. I use an n52 and a 10 button mouse. I have setups for movement key passing and mouse driving and others. Can't really find one I like personally, but I'm positive any of the new content can be easily beaten with just strafe keys and auto follow as most of the old raid content was beaten this way and it's quite a bit more involved than the new heroics.

If you're having movement problems on fights like garfrost (giant in pit of saron) for instance you just simply fail at the fight. You should never need more than auto follow on this boss... It's not a movement fight. Maybe analyze your strategies as well as your movement concerns. I simply run the tank 20 yards from the dps and auto follow for a few seconds when he throws a boulder. Auto follow again after the stuns and go clear your debuffs behind a rock... Same with Ick, Devourer, Broham(sp?). All these are explained in their own threads. If you need a new way to move try binding a keymap toggle to pass your movement keys or something.

Sorry, I know this post was less than constructive and someone is bound to pick it apart. But while you do so remember that it's the internet and I'm busy clearing heroics while your doing it.

Fur's motivation is definitely not personal. If you take what Fur says personally, you have bigger issues IRL. That is not to say Fur can't come across as an ass, but really, who can't?

Howdy! Am only doing the easier heroics, not clearing Oculus, HoS or the new ICC ones yet. I use a tanking druid, 3x Elemental Shaman and a Destro Warlock... think I have a fairly clumsy setup so it's interesting to read the topic! It's a bit of a pita to heal the toons, I guess there's no repeater regions for mac boxing software?

Anyway, here's what I roll with...
1. DPS Spam / Tanking Macro
shift-1. Water-Shield
2. Tank AoE (Swipe)
shift-2. Grounding Totems
3. AoE. (Put down magma totem)
shift-3. AoE (Expload the fire totem thingy)
4. Thunderstorm / Liftetap
5. Purge
shift-5. Buff (FT Weapon / Fel Armor)
Q. Feral Fire for pulling
shift-Q. Spread out toons
E. 3x quick heal on tank
shift-E. 3x chain heal on tank
R. 3x chain heal on group
shift-R. Bloodlust
T. Taunt
F. Drop totems
shift-F. Drop Fire Elementals
§. Follow me.
shift-§. Mount up

Its funny how this topic degraded into a mud fight.

If people think a topic is lame, double posted etc. then why reply in the topic? just skip it.

[Svpernova09]

in an attempt to get this thread back on topic.

Here is my keybinds. This is my main PvE team.

[Jayne]

Sorry for dumb question Svper... but how do you reach all of 1-9 (and the even harder with alt modifier down)?
Or maybe you don't use WSAD to walk?

Cheers!

Most of the commonly used combat keys are all bound to my Nostromo N52. Everything else I just manually press the keybind.
