Using blizzard for AE farming (video)

[Fuzzyboy]

Hey fuzzy, this is my preferred method as well! Im trying to find a sweet spot for holding aggro without wasting too much time or oils.Do you have a specific number of shouts and oils that you drop before you start aoeing?

I'm not using oils - though I am using fire shield (Imp) and shield spike. I prefer to be on the safe side, but I don't have a specific number of shouts I do - it's more on an intuition basis :-)

now comes my other wonders

should i just stick with my 5mages(lv 26 atm) (to get gold for my level 60 warrior)

or should i boost up at Tauren warrior or druid, priest, warlock to try setup a team like this

guessing gettin 26 would take a day or so

Im thinkin Level efficiency, gold efficiency


Found my solution il just get tanking set for my DPS warrior thats 60 already


and use him to tank the dungeons for the 2 mages warlock, priest

reckon id get in trouble if i left party during the time my other chars kill the monsters?

I remember doing this video before. Basically just tag the boss and everyone will chase you

I don't actually click anything with the mouse on the minions - I have "X" (key down) configured to enable broadcasting and "X" (key up) configured to send a mouse click to the same location on the minions, that I target on my main screen. So while "X" is held held, the reticle on the minion screen will be on the same relative location as the mouse on my main screen and when released, the spell will fire.

Any chance for some more detail on this? I don't actually know what you mean I think.

Sure. This is my setup:

- Make a new custom hotkey ("X") and set the "execute a step when the hotkey is" to "pressed OR released"
- Set step 1 to do the following: Cast Blizzard / Rain of Fire on my mages and lock and enable mouse repeat on mages + lock (in that way, when I press and hold X, mouse repeat is activated and the blizzard/RoF reticle is shown on the slaves). While I hold down X, I can move the cursor in the main window and this will be replicated on my slave windows. That's how I target the spell.
- Set step 2 to send a left mouse click ("Mouse1") to the slaves and disable mouse broadcasting. That way the spell will be cast once I release the X button.

Does that make sense? I can send you some screenshots of my ISBoxer hotkey config if you want :-)

after reading your post I figured it out but I took it One step further and bound blizzard to the same key for my toggle broadcast. I made the key mirror to only my mage group also. So it’s Z (I used different key) down and hold, move mouse and click, release Z.

Heya fuzzy, if you wouldnt mind dropping me a screenshot of those settings for the Blizzard key (or post them) that'd be awesome. I have it almost working but the way I have it setup still requires an actual click action of the mouse.

Sure:

1) The hotkey (set "execute step ..." to pressed OR released)



2) Setup step 1 in the hotkey:



3) Setup step 1 in the hotkey



My "Named Macro" simply looks like this (in the "Game Helpers" section):

#showtooltip
/cast Blizzard

The buttons next to your party frame, how is that set up?

Very low tech - it's VFX of the slaves hotkey bars with click-through enabled :-)
