I have to say, when you run 5 or 6 heroics a day and at the end of the day you realize you wiped, say 15 times. Well for me about 75% of my wipes are ( or were ) caused by the key hanging issues with keyclone. Keyclone does not pass modifer keys properly which causes a lot of issues. Mainly any hotkey you pass that has a modifier ( ie alt w ) when the mod key is lifted before the normal key this causes a lot of issues. For example, I use ctrl 1 to fire my dps classes nukes. Say I accidently ( because yes im hitting keys very quickly ) release ctrl before 1 once, that means when I go to hit shift 1 ( my cc hotkey for my first mage ) it isnt going to work until I hit ctrl 1 again. So the result is me going into a panic smashing shift 1 realizing its jammed as I have a shattered hand beserker smashing my priest face in, realize I have to hit something to unjam it guessing keys until finally I hit ctrl 1 again ( priest dead now ) and then interrupting my nuke spell and FINALLY resheeping said mob. I have tons and TON of colorful storys like this one to tell, of chars running off into packs of mobs, casting nukes when they should be casting cc spells, spinning in circles or just doing nothing at all because my autofollow key is jammed ( shift 4 ). So yes after reading this post I went and got octopus, no more key jams, it does seem to have a steep learning curve but what doesnt around here. Keyclone got me started and I do like the program and don't regret buying it, however for higher end highspeed play the keyjams are simply brutal and unless you only use like 10 hotkeys at any given time and just want to move all your chars at the same time all the time ( wont fly i n heroics trust me ) then you'll run into this same issue I have.
I will say I play 5 different classes so maybe its just an issue with me because I have more "individualized" hotkeys.
PS: thanks for the post you've saved me a LOT of aggravation, I hadn't even looked at octopus before today, which is ironic because skarlot's vidoes are what got me started 5 boxxing
