Mecurio's Cataclysm Multiboxing Macros

[Mercurio]

After doing quite a bit of research and testing on the training dummies, I thought I'd post my DPS macros for post patch 4.0.1. I hope they are useful and as always, feel free to improve them. All my macros are created in standard WoW.

To cope with the increased complexity of talents and procs in Cata, I set up a new step system in ISBoxer. One button toggles between two key maps: one that simply sends "2" when I hit the "2" key (my main spam key) and the other that alternates between sending "2" and sending ";" when I hit the "2" key. When entering combat, I always make sure the alternating key map is active. This is quite easy to set up using the Step and New Map Key State Action tools in ISBoxer.

I then created a DPS Sequence Macro that I attached to "2" and a DPS Proc Macro that I attached to ";" for each type of DPS.

EDIT: Since these macros seem to be of help to a number of folks, I've added more instructions for how to set the "2 Step" up in ISBoxer here:

If you are using Lax's "FTL DPS Keys" keymap, you already have a "DPS 2" mapped key that simply sends the keypress of a "2" to all windows when you press "2".

Create another mapped key within "FTL DPS Keys" called "2 Step" that is also called when you press "2" but has two steps - the first sends "2" to all windows (exactly as above), while the second step sends ";" to all windows.

Now all you need to do is set up a new mapped key in your "Control" key map. I called mine "2 Step Toggle" and associated it with the "Insert" key. It will have two steps in it.

Step one has 3 actions:

1) A new mapped key state action (one of the options when you add a new step) that toggles the "DPS 2" mapped key within "FTL DPS Keys" to On
2) A new mapped key state action that toggles the "2 Step" mapped key within "FTL DPS Keys" to Off
3) A popup text with a message like "2 Step Turned OFF"

Step two has 3 actions:

1) A new mapped key state action that toggles the "DPS 2" mapped key within "FTL DPS Keys" to Off
2) A new mapped key state action that toggles the "2 Step" mapped key within "FTL DPS Keys" to On
3) A popup text with a message like "2 Step Turned ON"

That's it! Use "Insert" to turn your toggle on or off.

Attach the sequence macros to your "2" key in WoW and the proc macros to your ";" key in WoW. Done.

(Of course, you may want to associate your proc macros with something other than ";" - Pinot used "9" and sent the 2nd step of his "2 Step" mapped key action to "9".)

Also, Va1entines was good enough to post a couple of screenshots of this set up in ISBoxer (thanks Va1entines!):
