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

#showtooltip
/cast (some ability that's on a cooldown and nice to start off combat with)
/castsequence reset=combat (whatever standard abilities here that you use for your bread and butter rotation)
/cast (whatever ability will proc for your class)
/cast (another ability that will proc for your class)
/cast (another ability that has a cooldown/proc)


LoL if this does not get nerfed I'll be way OP.

Why not just use all /cast with your most important ability at the top and then next most important in the 2nd line and the least important last?

I agree it's pretty absurd, and probably will be changed.

As to why not just use the most important/go by a priority system - some abilities have no cooldowns, so I wound up just spamming the hell out of them rather than moving to the next ability down the line. It's really weird.

LIFE WITH OUT MACROS WHAT WILL I DO...

Oh wait I don't use them...

If they don't nerf this INTO. THE. GROUND. then they'll basically become the biggest joke since Daikatana.

But... you play 4 of the exact same class.

[Velassra]

But... you play 4 of the exact same class.

Lolz

Ya... if you play 4 of the same class you're fine, but multiple class groups rely on macros or some crazy planning on your keybindings.

[calyco27]

bit of a necro but.. I had never used a macro at all and I have many teams, with multiple classes. I do use innerspace and have a G11 keyboard so I have a lot of keys at my disposal ( modifiers work on Gkeys! ).

In a way I am glad I went face-first into hard-mode, as learning that first made me not a lazy player. I'd imagine it being harder to get used to an easy way of playing and suddenrly have to unlearn everything then relearn a new way than to start learning the hard way from the start.

My key layout is pretty hands on ( pun sorta intended), with buttons for each type of move, for example i have moves for AoE non ground, AoE ground, AoE radiated, single burst, single efficient, ect ect ect... as well as 6 different healing spells, each with innerspace keymaps to heal different people on different modifiers. Yeah it was a pain in the proverbial to set up, and changing a char out will make me cry, but I dont see any way it can break ( unless innerspace goes away... then i'm f**ked.)

I'd say I am at around 90-100% optimal, or rather.. 90-100% of my player skill optimal. a skilled player could get more out of it than me, but if i played each solo i doubt i'd be getting any more than if i did it like this.

So basically, you don't have macros which do lots of things.
Rather, you have almost every ability for each of your classes on their own keybind.
And then spam away.

I use a similar system in Isboxer for a FCFS priority rotation with pallies. Basically my dps key activates several mapped keys at the same time. The highest priority spells are at the bottom of the list as they seem to be called first and if they are on cooldown one of the lower priority spells are triggered.

If you are worried this betrays the one keypress, one action system you can change this in one of two ways. Bind your 5 priorty spells to 5 keys and tape a small piece of plastic across them. Alternatively enable send on press or release, make each spell a step in isboxer and if you spam fast enough, you will get a similar effect.
