    Sadly, not a straight 1 to 4 setup, its a bit complex so its easier to multibox. Basically I've created keys for every skill for each character. They can share the same hotkey in some cases depending on the functionality. For example:

    1 = Static Charge on SC monk and mouse1 for the other 3 chars
    2 = Breath of Heaven on SC monk + Blinding Flash on heal monk + Condemn on Crusader + Sprint (3s)
    3 = Inner Sanctuary on heal monk + Shield Glare on Crusader
    4 = Judgement on Crusader (it messes up Cyclone Strike so u wanna have all mobs pulled before using this)
    5 = Laws of Hope on Crusader (10s) + Mantra of Healing (0.7s) on heal monk + Ignore Pain on Barb (11s)
    6 = WarCry (10s)
    7 = Threatening Shout (3s)

    I try to use more keys because when u use the same hotkey for 2 or more skills on the same char, sometimes u dont cast the skill. Not a problem when its a low cooldown skill that u can spam, but when it's a timed buff/debuff that u rely on, u can easily die. For example Ignore Pain which I have every 11 secs. If I share it with WarCry or Sprint hotkey and eventually I send it both at the same time, I may miss Ignore Pain, since I have it on trigger once and run the risk of having 11 secs of Ignore Pain downtime which will most likely get me killed. I don't see this when each skill has its own hotkey. Of course I'm not mashing all 7 buttons. My mouse takes care of 2567 and I just focus on 134, right/left clicks.

    Since SC monk needs certain rotation when u use 2 generators, it makes it a little bit difficult to make keys work and not lose your F&R buff. My rotation is:

    1. Cyclone Strike to pull everything really close and proc F&R on SC charge monk.
    2. Inner Sanctuary + Shield Glare + Judgement
    3. Main attack to get Assimilation stacks (only 3 hits needed).
    4. Static Charge on different mobs to spread the debuff
    5. Main attack to proc it even more

    On the meantime, I spam the other skills that are on 2567. I know, it doesn't sound simple, but u get used to it pretty fast.

    I have a few questions on the key setup
    1) Are you never using EP or the mantra on the SC monk? or when you don't name a character, is that a straight broadcast?
    2) I am having horrible sync issues with this build, I'm guessing that you hold down shift a lot to avoid this?
    3) Is your mouse macro:ed to auto cast 2,5,6,7?

    1. Yes I never use EP. I just rely on the Uliana's 2 piece set bonus for EP. Yes, I know there are "tricks" to get more damage from EP but I don't really care, Uliana's makes it simple. Remember your damage is based on how much spirit u have and applying EP manually can be negative. I use Mantra of Transgression on the SC monk. The active effect of MoT is completely useless. I just need the passive 10% IAS. I do spam Mantra of Healing on the heal monk every second.
    2. Always. I never attack without holding shift and that has nothing to do with this setup. Ever since I started multiboxing, I learned it was the best way to avoid dsyncs and now I'm used to it. Even playing solo, I hold shift when attacking. With this setup, I rarely dsync, even with the SC monk teleporting a little here and there, its very easy to teleport him back to the party. If I dsync, Wings of Angels helps rsync in a second, so not an issue.
    3. Yes.

    Also, forgot to mention I move around with FORCE MOVE. I don't click to move at all. I only click to attack and that's always done with SHIFT. I have force move on my SPACE BAR so I move my party just by pointing where I wanna go and holding space, never clicking on the ground. If I want to attack, I release space and shift + click on targets. Move again? release shift+click and press space. That pretty much removes dsyncs because u never move with clicks on the ground. Clicking on the ground causes most dsyncs cause not all chars are positioned EXACTLY on the map and not all see the exact same content (mobs may not be seen in the exact place for each char, loot on the ground, etc.).

    I only get little dsyncs with the SC monk because of the short teleports from FoT but are easy to fix.
