How will we multibox after /click ,,,,,, is removed in 4.0

[Jafula]

The only thing that worries me is finding a replacement for Super Duper Macro.

Jamba-Macro maybe? Is there anything that SDM does that Jamba-Macro doesn't?

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Thing is, if you do a rotation macro correctly, it's just as good as the old /click fall-through macros. The only exceptions are with regards to macro size constraints and being able to drag and drop spells onto/off of buttons to change things around on-the-fly.

A bad /click macro is no better than a good rotation macro. /shrug

Actually, JambaMacro does way more than I want it to. I'm not terribly interested in sitting down and figuring out variables and sets and tags; when it comes to macros I just want to sit down and plunk in everything in plain English. The thing I like most about SDM is everything is easy to organize. I can stick things in their own folders, it's very obvious what macro belongs to whom, and even on my slave screens it's easy to see what I'm inputting.

JambaMacro would be great if I ran a changing group, but I always run the same team. It's just overly complicated when all I want is increased macro length and organizational/formatting stuff. But I still love you!

/click macros also don't get stuck when you use Bloodlust/Heroism. (main reason I switched)

I tried using the click multibutton spam macros I don't like it.I do however use multibutton tho on my locks for conflags. The whole ,,,, crap and multibutton was practically automation imo.

This will def hurt some boxers who rely on it, but there's ways around it, with more micromanaging. You'll just have to learn.

One thing that I will miss in the ,,, crap is firing of one slaves fear and sequential presses after that will cycle through cooldown abitilities instead of firing all of them. Ie priest fears. In the future I'll just add a filler abilty in replacement of the ,,,,. Most classes have something insta to fill in.

Def say goodbye to those multibutton ,,,, macro spammers. I'm personally ok with that

Someone fairly new has a concern about a potential problem and is looking for some suggestions, maybe reassurance about the future. Glad so many stepped up with sarcasm to snobishly put them in their place. Vintage db.com right there.

I'll just have to level 3 DPS of the same class. It's really going to suck not having a warlock and mage in the party for portals and summons though.

I suppose I could get creative with HKN and some nifty coding though. Basically have a default spell that is cast while spamming, and have it switch to spaming something else for a certain number of cycles after pressing extra buttons to handle procs and cooldowns. I'll probably also need a new mouse, maybe a Razer Naga, to have enough buttons to cover conflagrate, immolate, chaos bolt, serpent sting, arcane shot, kill shot, frostfire bolt and Deep Freeze in addition to the filler spells.

It'd would be pretty intuitive, as I could have TMW indicators set out like this (I'd have to mod it to track spells based on names in the combat log, as it only does player/target/focus/pet/target/arget/focustarget right now, but I've already made those kinds of changes to DBM-Spelltimers, as either conflag or chaos bolt doesn't have a standard cast success condition):

+---------------+--------------------+--------------------+
|               |                    |                    |
| Chaos Bolt CD | Kill Shot CD       | Deep Freeze usable |
|               |                    |                    |
+---------------+--------------------+--------------------+
|               |                    |                    |
| Conflag CD    | Arcane Shot CD     | FFB proc           |
|               |                    |                    |
+---------------+--------------------+--------------------+
|               |                    |                    |
| Immolate time | Serpent Sting time |                    |
|               |                    |                    |
+---------------+--------------------+--------------------+

which would match the grid of buttons on the Naga,


A foot pedal would be handy to free up my hands from doing the spamming too XD

I have always resisted the temptation to use click macros (other than a brief test when first discovered) as i always struck me as being far to close to automation.
so the loss of them will not hurt me in any way

Yet you offer nothing to help either, just flaming people here who took the time to read one of the OTHER threads on the subject -

Or decided to do enough research on multiboxing to know that /click is only an alternative to castsequences and/or creative button placement.

It's not the end of the world, it's barely a ripple.

[Zub]

OMG the world is rippling! the world is rippling!

as mentioned before, i reckon the problem is not so much with /click, but rather with the empty comas ,,,, that we could put in our macros to 'delay' or let spells pass-through.

with this ability (empty commas) removed, we'll have to rewrite some castsequence macros as well..
As Sbrowne55 said, we'll have to find a filler spell or something. Water Shield /Inner Fire or something for the staggering macros.. not sure how to do the pass-through, but i'm sure we'll figure out.

the main thing that scares me at this point, is wheather my (humble) computer will still handle the multiple wow instances.

Irony at its best. Your post... it's not helping.
