    I would recommend ISBoxer, mainly because of the Repeater Regions for "remote controlling" the healer's healing addon. That was my reasoning to change from Octopus and i didn't regret it at all.
    Btw. I'm also doing 5man PvE mostly.

    I still use Octopus as I've just never had a need for anything else considering what I do. Were I interested in lots of PVP or doing really hard content, I'd probably switch to ISBoxer just for the few added features that help certain aspects of that.

    Any discussions with GM's on ISBoxer? Any issues come up? ISBoxer looks pretty sweet - but any issues with it considered as something more than just keystroke broadcasting?

    I am not opposed to change, just know there are no worries with keyclone (but also know it has some limitations as well). Saw some nasty posts on ISBoxer, but probably same trolling as was against multiboxing back in the day.

    I try to stay out of threads like these but I can answer that.

    Highly recommend this read: http://isboxer.com/index.php/is-isboxer-allowed

    But in short, ISBoxer is well known and has been in use for about 2 years now in many games (WoW, EQ1, EQ2, Vanguard, Aion, LOTRO, DDO, EVE to name a handful). Blizzard is well aware of it and "tolerates it" the same as all other multiboxing software. (Same for the other listed games and their publishers) You can find plenty of trolling about ISBoxer from random people, but the fact is that nobody's been banned for using it, lots of people use it, and there's no indication that that's going to change. Warden is not stopped from identifying Inner Space or ISBoxer, so if they wanted to ban for it they could have done it by now.

    If you want GM conversations, GM's don't generally know the specifics on multiboxing (some do) or what a particular piece of software does, and will give the same guarded answer for pretty much any software. If they think it sounds like a hack, they will refer you to the EULA (as they are trained to do). They can't give an official "yes" on any software for legal reasons -- saying yes is a legal liability because Blizzard has no control over the function of third party software (software not created by the first or second parties -- you and Blizzard). A GM said "keyclone is fine" but this is a fluke and is also taken out of context. But anyway, feel free to do an in-game petition/help request and ask away. Lots of people already have but I don't have a link for you
