No broadcast software ideas for multiboxing

[nodoze]

Nodoze. Really appreciate the detailed write up!!

one PC running 5 clients is not one I want to try because I feel it requires some level of SW broadcasting to be efficient enough.

i also though about building 4 low end PCs and networking it. But then if a ban happens I have 4 crappy PCs that are wasted.

I think I will try the VM approach so I won’t need any form of SW broadcasting.

Thanks and glad to help where I can.

Actually you can run 4 clients pretty efficiently on 1 PC with no 3rd party software, no SW nor HW broadcasting, and no multicasting of 1 input to more than 1 client at a time.

The above 4 quadrant setup should work fine for 4DPS or Tank+3DPS and then you could put the Healer in a VM or a 2nd PC with a 2nd keyboard/keypad/foot-pedals/etc so you can spam heals if/when needed without any broadcasting nor multi-casting.

In the .mov example he is doing pretty continuous RR of 4 mages doing Arcane Explosions... He isn't even clicking on anything or using any keystrokes as just putting the mouse over the game client makes it the active window and his mouse wheel spins are initiating the Arcane Explosions.

4 Hunters or Tank+Hunters would also work well as the hunters just need brief focus to send pet (if not set to aggressive) and start auto-shot and periodically revisit to burn though all mana... Could then spend the rest of the time driving from your tank if you have one.

Personally I want to try Paladin+3Warlocks as the Warlocks just need a mouse-over and 1 button every 15 seconds to keep up HellFire and the Paladin can Tank unlimited targets fine with just a mouse over every 8-10 seconds to refresh Consecration & Holy Shield. I may try to make HellFires trigger from mouse-wheel-spin for ease.
