[quote='d0z3rr',index.php?page=Thread&postID=61430# post61430]Thanks for the writeup Tdog, lots of good info. You have inspired me to try a 2x Warrior, 2x rogue, 1xshaman group!

Can you also explain your keyboard/bindings layout? Do you use any peripherals?

People always go over their macros, and it seems like they have alot of macros, I'm just wondering where they're finding the space on the keyboard to fit them without it being a cluster. I myself use 1,2,3,4,5, wsadqe for movement, r,f,c,x,z,v,t. And all those are taken pretty much right away. So most of my macros I wind up clicking.[/quote] [font='Times New Roman, Times, Georgia, serif']At the moment I haven't gone into great thoughts about my keybinds and keyboard layout due to the fact that I rewrite macros kinda frequently to try out new ideas, see how they work and adjust from there. For the most part I'm just using 1-6 and F1-F6 for the time being. Eventually when I really start to get comfortable with my macros and really like what I'm using I'll focus a bit more on my key board layout. 1-6 is just fine for me but F1-F6 gets to be too far of a reach at times. I perfer it if my left middle finger never has to leave the w,2 keys while in combat and I'll most likely use the r,f,c,x,z,v,t keys as well in place of the function keys.

Also you only get 21 macro spaces so you do have to get a bit creative at times. I try to macro as many abilities as I can into my spam button as I can to help take away some of the micromanagement, for example...

Warrior Alt Button 2
[/font]#showtooltip Bloodthirst
 /assist party1
/stopmacro [noharm], [dead]
/cast blood rage
/cast beserker rage
/cast 13
/cast 14
/cast blood fury
/cast [target=party1target] Bloodthirst
 /startattack
/follow party1

Shaman Alt Button 2
 #showtooltip Attack
/assist party1
/startattack
/follow party1
/stopmacro [nomodifier:shift]
/castsequence reset=15 windfury totem, strength of earth totem, healing stream totem

This basically allows me to spam button 2 to assist my main, pop buff abilites/trinkets, cast Bloodthirst, start auto attack, constantly renew /follow incase I need to reposition my alts, and finally shift+2 start my totem sequence while allowing me to continue casting bloodthirst. This allows me to constantly renew my buffs w/o thinking about it, throwing up totems, keeping my alts in constant tow, all while keeping my dps up and allowing me more time to think about other stuff. It also saves on alot of button space.


Now as for beserker rage and blood fury being in the macro that's just for now due to the fact that blood fury casted at the wrong time can wreck you and berserker rage is a warrior's fear immunity. Thus far it hasn't been a problem and it allows me to push the dps just a bit more Once I need to I'll take em out.



Edit: I have no clue what is up with the font hopefully it's not too distracting. Either way it's late and I need to go to bed
