Things only multiboxers will relate to

[Wintershot]

Hey all!

Just started up again and have been reminded of all the things I forgot, so this is a thread for all of things only a multiboxer will *eye roll* or *nod sagely* to.

I'll start it off with: The long turn in corridor corners.

Unfortunately, this is normally my go-to, and, at the moment, I can't seem to come up with another. Although, I usually say something along the lines of, "You gotta steer like an 18-wheeler," which I stole from Svpernova years ago.

Or circular tower stairs where you have to scrape your face against the wall.

One thing I can't get used to when playing solo is that my interrupt is on such a long cooldown, normally I have pummel, spear hand, counter spell and counter shot all in a nice round robin.

I keep pressing my follow key even when running a solo toon. It's such a habit at this point that I catch myself doing it after combat, after getting on a flying mount, logging in, etc.

running up spiral stairs and losing a toon, when you run back down to get your lost toon he would run the spiral stair down aswell due to still being at /follow on your main such that you can't catch him until you reach the bottom

happend in the old orgirmmar flight tower way too many times (and I had really trouble to understand how that even works in the beginning xD)

Nope, you don't.

On my follow keymap (DEL as I'm left handed) I have ALT+DEL for scoot. What is scoot? Exactly what you'd think!

They follow and with a quick ALT press they scoot forward as long as I hold the key down. Tower climbing is no longer a problem!

I'll add one for the thread: Inventory Management. Everyone swears it isn't a problem. PFT. Try managing 5-10 inventories!

so it's both follow and fwd ? you get a million "follow broken" raid alerts while you press the key (or removed that warning from jamba/ema; but then how do you know when you do lose a guy ?)

Not sure if you were replying to me but it's two mapped keys inside the keymap.

One follows (del).
One scoots forward (alt + del).

So when I know I'm on a tight stairwell or sharp corners I have them follow me to the bend and then I alt + del to scoot them forward. Then resume follow.

Works very well on sharp corners with a little practice.
