List your Multi-box setup...

Any fantastic macro's you want to share?

OK, well I can answer this question now. I'm sure this is probably something a lot of you may already know about but I'll post it anyway.

This is really a macro that helps anyone with a healer and up to 3 other boxes(or pets).

cast [modifier:shift, target=player1]renew; [modifier:alt, target=player2]renew; [modifier:ctrl, target=player3]renew; [target=player4]renew

What this will do is make it so you don't have to specifically target anyone in your party to heal them.

Let's say your hotkey for renew is 5. If you click alt+5 then a certain toon gets renewed.

If you click ctrl+5 then a certain toon gets renewed.

If you click shift+5 then a certain toon gets renewed.

If you just click 5 then a certain toon gets renewed.

This is also nice because since you never have to target the toon, the healer will never lose their current target(if they are helping attack a mob).

Of course, you can substitute any spell for renew to be cast. The shift and ctrl modifiers are tricky though. Make sure they are not bound to anything already. Also, shift needs to be enabled as a modifier(you can find out how to do this on the WoW UI and macros official forum in one of the stickies I believe)

I've just recently started dual-boxing with the release of TBC and have been having a ton of fun with it since finding this site and MultiBox.

I'm running two boxes at once, levelling my warlock and hunter. The only special software I'm using is MultiBox, thought I, too, am using a Nostromo n52 gamepad.

I've spend most of my time trying to synch main combat button presses between my two characters. When I first start the group with my warlock as the main, I set my hunter's focus to the warlock and set him to follow. I've unbound the movement keys on my hunter so I can keep keyboard broadcasting active most of the time and that's helped a lot in combat. My typical sequence is:
[code:1]
Button 1: warlock: activate trinket for damage boost (otherwise I hardly use it)
hunter: macro : /target focustarget; cast Hunter's Mark.

Shift-1: sends both pets to attack target.

Button 2: warlock: cast shadowbolt
hunter: macro: /castsequence reset=6 Arcane Shot,Steady Shot,Steady Shot,Steady Shot;

Button 3: warlock: cast curse of agony
hunter: cast serpent sting

Button 4: warlock: cast corruption
hunter: cast rapid fire

Button 5: warlock: cast drain life
hunter: cast Multi-shot
[/code:1]

In typical fights I mostly just use 1,shift-1,2,2 and by then any single non-elite target is dead. I typically run with the warlock's Felguard out as "tank" and the hunters' full-BM enhanced Ravager set for DPS. I'm getting better at fighting multiple targets at the same time, but if I forget to sat the hunter's pet to autocast Growl, the hunter pulls aggro and something gets close I usually have to take care of it with the warlock.

Can you set up macros to target the raid icons ie. Skull, square, moon...? Never thought to look for this befor now.

No.

Just tested it, with the newest version you still can. But i did not test if you need to be in a raid, but assign them you can.

You can assign raid markers through scripts/macros but you can't target something based solely on it's raid marker. That is, you can't "targetdiamond" or anything like that.

You're right, I read the question wrong
