Macro? Isn't that against the rules?
Of course not, silly! Macroing can be done by anyone, even non-multiboxers, and is built within the WoW interface. You can access your
macros by typing "/macro".
What can a macro do that a normal button pusher can't?
Absolutely nothing. However,
macros are useful for binding multiple actions into a fluid keypress, such as
trinket+AP+PoM+Pyro (otherwise known as
the "I Win" button)
What do multiboxers use macros for?
Multiboxers will use macros for almost EVERYTHING. For example, each spell cast the a multiboxer makes will have to be targeted. A very simple macro would have to be implemented for each DPS spell a multiboxer wanted to use.
For example:
/assist Vyndree
/cast Lightning Bolt
This also needs to be done for healing. As you can probably tell, we very quickly run out of buttons and usually fill up every single macro spot with different spells.
Multiboxers also use macros for movement. Unfortunately, you cannot put movement into a macro like you can use your "wasd" or arrow keys. Therefore, multiboxers use the in-game
/follow system and assign that to a macro while unbinding their "wasd" keys in the menu->keybindings window.
