IMO - Key Clone > AHK

Also keep in mind that patch 2.2 will introduce left AND right shift,alt,control modifier keys.

So left shift + a can be different than right shift + a. By default it will not be but this might be a nice addition when you get a chance.

Having fun so far Rolled an undead team, mage and 4 locks.

One thing that's apparent to me now, which I might have overlooked before, is that I have to wait until the other 4 toons following me have caught up and are stationary before I start casting. Otherwise, I'll get the first cast in and they won't do anything until they've caught up.

I wonder if there is a "stop" command of sorts, to tell them not to move before casting.

Edit: I have Keyclone broadcast the "S" key, the one that moves you backward. I don't broadcast any other movement keys. So I hit the follow key for them to chase me, then hit S for them to stop moving, then I cast. Then hit the follow key again, rinse & repeat. I'm sure there is a better way than this though.

lol thats a great idea, going to have to try that one out tonight

You may have also overlooked healing

Also, insta cast dots do not require you to stop moving nor face the target.

I made the mage + lock team mainly to test Keyclone and work out the nuances. I made them on Magtheridon(ironically) and reached level 4 before calling it. Time to go back to my server where the high levels and gold is!

Good point on the insta-dots.

I still think at least one mage is good for the group. Intellect buff, frost nova, sheep, free water and goodies, quick transportation to cities.

So I think in the end it'll be priest, mage, and 3 locks. I'm still curious to see how 3 felguards/vw's can hold up for tanking. But controlling a pally/warrior/druid for tanking will be a pain in the ass with my setup, so an all squishy/ranged team will have to do for now.

Maybe the round robin feature will come in handy for tanking multiple mobs with multiple pets. Will have to wait and see.

Also if anyone is interested, I bound the same key for the mage's fireball and the warlock shadowbolts. If the locks are lagging behind a bit, I start off with the mage fireball, then tap the same key again to get the shadowbolts going after the warlocks stop moving. Then I broadcast the A & D keys so I can turn everyone to face my targets if necessary. This seems to work better than the S key all the time.

After more thought, I think I'll run 2 locks on one computer, and the priest/mage/3rd lock on the other. Nothing to do with performance. I just realize how farked I am if I(1st warlock) die. This way, I can just pull up the 2nd screen to control lock #2, and Keyclone should still be able to send out the commands to the other computer like nothing happened. Maybe I should spec the 1st 2 locks demonology for soul link when it becomes available.

wow- i just posted my first little thing up here and it seemed to blow up!

Thanks to everyone here who has helped me get up and running and gave me the tools to try boxing out without droping lots of cash on computers and displays.

Maybe one day I will grow up to be like xzin, but its is a blast so far!
