    Seriously, here's my basic set up:

    Left Hand
    - Movement (WASD, QE for strafe, these six only control my main)
    - Tank threat spam and DPS spam ("2" key)
    - Tank threat only spam ("3" key, slaves do nothing)
    - Consecration ("4", I find I need that spell on a stand alone key and use it quite often, slaves do nothing)
    - PBAE ("6" key, my three DPS do whatever PBAE they have)
    - Divine Protection (the pally damage reduction thingie, "8")
    - All-in-One ("-")
    - Jamba follow master ("=")
    - Miscellaneous (burst DPS is "alt-7": bloodlust, mirror image, dps trinkets, etc., Targeted AE ("alt-9") sets up a click to have DPS cast ae targeted spells with ISBoxer, etc.)

    Right Hand
    - Select targets
    - Click healing with Healbot via window repeater region from my pally (main) to the priest

    This set up works just fine. I can handle most PvE content that I'm geared for other than stuff I'm simply too lazy to master (HoS Brahn event, Occulus, Old Kingdom). However, what I'm noticing is when I'm movement challenged my left hand is busy working the WASD keys and my DPS stops (i.e., I can't keep spamming "2" while moving very well. ). I simply will never get used to the idea of mouse driving and even if I could that would compromise my click healing.

    What do you do?

    P.S. On a side note, I'm wistful about the days of hardware 3 boxing in EQ1 where I had a set up that read the log file and would simply spam DPS until the mob died leaving me free to do other things. Yes yes, automation but those were the old days.
    I use the whole keyboard this is because i cannot use asd method like most normal people would, im arrow and numpad man

    i dont have any tank macros, 0

    all i got is dps macros and healing. tank normally with main window but remove any keybinds from tank so spamming a macro will have no affect but will on the clones as they are set to receive.

    this means i can tank normally/ switch tanks with only jamba to change master. so your left with click macros that consist of few spammable buttons.

    this would make things less complicated and free up space for hitting other macros.

    i have a total of 43+ macros that i use but in normal fights i only use 1-2 that consists of dps and resto tied into each other.

    everyones setup is different!

    but try the no tank macro setup, multitasking!!! who said men cant!

    EDIT:

    putting this into what hand does what for me:

    tanking = mouse normal no macros

    dps = right hand using numpad

    healing right hand using numpad + end

    movement/tactical advantages = left hand using various keys covering the qwerty area

    Follow/boss movement - Mouse buttons and macros. using razor mamba
