Getting started with 2-boxing SWTOR

[Apps]

Hey, guys.

I am wanting to 2-box SWTOR like I have every other game I've ever played, but the lack of macros is causing some problems. First of all I am not using isboxer. I am running one game on desktop and one on laptop and they are next to each other on my desk. Eventually I will probably see about getting Synergy up and running to share keyboard/mouse (hasn't worked for me since upgrading to Win7 - never looked into why).

At least /follow now works, so that's one hurdle down.

Anyone got any tips on running two accounts like this? My biggest problems are targetting (no /assist command?) and maneuvering both characters around quickly in battle. Is it easier to run two of the same class characters? Or should I continue trying to run two separate classes like I have been.

Also, I've heard of focus targeting, but I haven't really seen anything about how to use it. Is there a guide to that somewhere?

Thanks for any help

Ouch.
Well, to the best of my knowledge, only ISBoxer can effectively box SWTOR. (edit* i may be corrected here by someone.. to clarify, ISBoxer can open multiple windows on the same machine and broadcast keys to each client window.. I dont know of any other software that has accomplished this yet) So, youre already very limited or next to nothing really... especially without an in-game macro system for /assist.

there *is a way to assist with using the target of party member 1 and party member 2, then target your targets target, using the in game keybinds. But there isnt a way to broadcast the command at the same time... not to mention the fact that depending on what window... sorry what *character you are on, the assist is going to be different.

No offense meant here at all... yet as a gentle reminder, ISBoxer is what? $10?

Im sure you can "struggle bus" your way to customize your stuff but you are eventually going to hit a wall.. a $10 wall.
Perhaps if you do go for it, post some settings for other people who attempt the same feat?

Good luck!
