4 differrent Classes how do you do it?

[Meathead]

Well today i did my first instance with my 2nd team and I was all over the place I got my buttons setup ok but having to remember that i only got 1 healer and DPS its kinda crazy does anyone have any vids on a setup like this. I know how to play 4 shamans at once also but 4 different classes is making my head spin lol what I ran today was (Shaman DPS Warlock DPS Priest DPS Druid Heals) and did a Random i will show you the setup I am doing on each toon to help see what I have setup



Ok I have it so everyone does a DOT when I press all cast spells at the same time ect ect but like how do you remember to Click Grid while dps at the sametime I seem to forget lol I mean I can easily do instances on my 4 shamans and Pally tank but doing this way is a whole new thing lol So what im asking is how do you ppl remind yourself you only got 1 HEALER ! lol anyway thanks for reading I WILL KEEP TRYING ! !

People use /click to setup a dps rotation. I don't use it and only know basics, so just search the forums here or wiki. I'm pretty sure there's a good explanation on how to use it.

Use this to search is my advice: http://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=00...%3A8oo5ucbwy-s (thanks to otlecs)

I did the instance fine and all but I kept lacking on my DPS :P will have to keep trying I guess its not as easy as 4 Shamans and my pally

I have a multi caster team and what most people do is have a single dps button setup that uses either /castsequence or the /click method to dps.

I personally use the /click method and it works great. I used the macros in the Wiki for /click and tailored them to my needs.

I have various utility talents on their own buttons (innervate for example).

so I spam the "1" key for my guys to dps, which is also tied to my 969 prot paladin tanking macro.

thanks for the heads up yea macro's would help alot may i ask what tanking macro do you have there I have a prot pally tank also. Was wondering for the /click is that just for the dots or for casting spells also? dw did some more research and found out i still got the pally macro havent used many macro's for a while forgot how handy they were

i got pally, balance, 2 shaman, spriest. So many utilities! So many spells. I still don't feel like i have played this team to its full potential. I have almost map out the whole keyboard litter with spells.

1234.....aoe, emergency, utility, misc. .... 0 - = buffs
qwerty... dps /click dps rotation on R. tyuio.... some heals ...p[ ] more buffs
asdfg... movements
zxvb.....tanking, /click V tank rotation

the 2 side vertical bars: shift1234... shift qwert.... out of combat stuff like eat drink mounts professions heathstone revive etc.

ExraBar addon to put my macros for V and R. as well as switching macros in and out for situations/bosses. Others spells i might use some day.

I made dummy macros on my tank so i would know where the utilities are on the slaves, silence purge, windshear, innervate....and so on and so on.... etc.

Damn its a fucking mess.

Oh where the hell did i put the racial spells!!!!

there's also some information in this topic: http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthrea...highlight=wipe

excerpt from my post:

It's not hard, it just takes longer to configure.
The important thing is to have an idea of how the classes work. Then you can pick the 3/4/5/n abilities to use and start making macros. Start with simple ones (like those you listed) and add to them as you go.
If I were you, i'd jump directly into the mixed team. Just because at least you'll be advancing while trying things out and won't have the feeling of wasted time.
I personal use about 9 main macros for my toons, so that's 9 keys for 90% of the play actions
- 1/ buff. Each toon has a macro that casts all possible buffs on the party. i use it at the start of an instance or after a wipe
- 2/ prep. pre-pull action (PoM, Totems, switch to correct form etc)
- 3/ pull sequence. the tank starts building agro alone
- 4/ dps rotation. each toon starts dpsing, the tank has his tanking rotation, and the healer has a tank healing rotation
- 5/ special. each toon has his special abilities (starfall, bloodlust, treants)
- 6/ aoe: Fire Nova, Hurricane, Blizzard, holy nova etc
- 7/ help: each toon has his oh shit botton (ice block, desperate prayer etc)
- 8/ regen: shadowfiend, managem, innervate etc
- 9/ taunt: tank taunt, dps and heals throw threat reducers (wind shear, fade etc)

a normal pull just goes like this: 2-3-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-loot . The other keys are just 'in case'
added to that you have utility macros (hearth, eat/drink, accept LFD etc)

having a group with 4 of the same class will not make it simpler in terms of how things work, it's just the name of the abilities in the macros that will be different.

WoW should of pressed F5 earlier lol

Multiclass teams really aren't that hard if you spend the time with it. My current setup uses 1 pull button, 1 spam button, 3 proc buttons. I don't use Grid for healing, I use mouseovers. My buffs are on my follow button {managed by SmartBuff}.

Learn how to set up a proper DPS rotation using /click or standard castsequences. You're making things far too complicated and inefficient putting individual spells on hotkeys.
