Understanding the Problem From My Perspective:
Everytime I tried to activate my channeled ability on one toon, I would end up interrupting the ability when I pressed my DPS spam key. I found this to be undesirable if I had a mixed group with different abilities b/c I love to spam my DPS keys.

The Solution:
Develop mapped keys that allow me to "block" sending the DPS keys to the toon that is doing to the channeled ability.

For this guide it is assumed that you have a fundamental knowledge of SWTOR mapped keys and already have a working setup of your own. I use variable keystrokes and click bars, but there is no reason that you can't modify my setup to work with hotkeys easily.

The Set Up:
Just a preview of my variable key strokes and an overview of all of my mapped keys to put us all on the same page. You should recognize my variable keystrokes from the SWTOR Character Configuration Tool from this post: http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/4...iguration-Tool



Again, you don't have to set up variable key strokes to make this work.

Next, my mapped keys:



You'll notice that I have the typical Target Me, Follow Me, and Assist Me mapped keys but note that I don't use them for my DPS spam. I use the DPS Assist - # and DPS - # for use in my DPS Master Spammer mapped key.

Character Control:
Just like Apps and Mosg2, I use a character control (Knight Control) Key Map that is always on. This is how I manage which mapped keys are active for each toon.

I'll just show you the first two Activate Slot # key maps. Note the "DPS Assist - #" For Slot 1, I have DPS Assist - 1 OFF and the other three DPS Assist key maps are ON.

Activate Slot 1:


Activate Slot 2:


You can see that for Slot 2, I have DPS Assist - 2 OFF and the other three are ON. This pattern repeats for Slots 3 & 4, ie. DPS Assist - 3 is OFF for SLOT 3 and DPS Assist - 4 is OFF for SLOT 4.
