Dire need of help

[Kalashnikov]

hey guys I have read the stickies for hours but cannot comprehend the meanings and how to do it. I have only managed to do the group invite accept and that works, the follow and assit / attack target does not work.

These are the 3 test toons

3 mages

Namzone - Main

Namztwo - slave

Namzthree - slave

after invites and accepting I want my slaves to follow my main and whatever my main targets I want them to target as well, nice and simple.

Also, if I put fireball for all of them on action bar button 1, I want all of them to cast it. As for quests ect and accepting I can handle to do this 1 by one, its just the combat that I cannot figure out

So I want to make their action bars the same pretty much so whatever my main casts, so do they. CC ect I will worry about later.

Also, after I get these guys going I want to start the 5 and do the same thing.



Help would be great, cheers.

You're going to have a hard time getting an answer when you frame your question in this way. You're essentially asking the community here to tell you how to multibox without using the explanations that have already been written for the wiki and stickies. There probably won't be a lot of takers; the wiki and sticky threads are, for the most part, the clearest information we have.

Can we focus on trying to solve one problem at a time? Let's try to get your follow problem worked out first.

What sort of setup are you using? Do you use one machine or more than one? How are you broadcasting keys to your WoW windows? Or are you an alt-tabber? What addons do you use? Have you tried writing macros?

Give us some more background and I'm sure we'll get you on the right track in no time.

yeah np, I stated in the post I am finding it hard to comprehend the tutorials.

I'm using 1 pc

2.4 gig quad core

500 gig HD

4gig ram

2x 9800gtx

I am using keyclone windowed mode



I basically need to know what and where to put a macro that I press so all my toons attack the same target when I press it on my main

[Drakkun]

I'm in a boring meeting, so here comes some free help...

The simplest way to get started is to create a macro on your two followers like this:

/target namzone
/follow

Now drag that macro to your bar. Anytime you want them to follow your main, hit the key corresponding to your follow macro.

To get a quick and dirty targeting macro for spellcasting, create a macro for assisting your main like this:

/target namzone
/assist

Again do this on both your followers and put it on your bar somewhere. Now when you target a mob with your main, hit the assist macro, then hit the key to cast your fireball.

There you have it, following and assisting as easy as it gets.

ty so much Drakkun I have 4 locks and a priest, 1 of the locks are my main, the other 3 follow and assist and attack with me but the priest is not attacking or assisting, I might try your method

I'd go with Focus macros:

Follow macro:

/follow focus

Set Focus Macros, and since you are using one PC this will make it easy to change main with 1 Keystroke

/focus Namzone - Hotkey to F10
/focus Namztwo - Hotkey to F11
/focus Namzthree - Hotkey to F12

You can put this in a macro with mod condidtions, but lets keep it simple for now.

Targeting Macro:

#showtooltip Fireball
/cast [target=focustarget,harm,nodead] Fireball - Hotkey to whatever.


These macros lets you start your killing spree

Hope this helps you out a bit

that is actually really good cause my main died and I was stumped pressing everything, this should really help alot! I have got the basic macros down and we are rollin'



thanks very much people

[Kalashnikov]

also i have a g15 keyboard so I'm going to map some key for all to heal 1 toon



should I do it like

/cast healing wave toon1



ect?

[Turenn]

I would still use Focus

#showtooltip Healing Wave
/cast [target=focustargettarget,help,nodead,exists] Healing Wave; [target=focustarget,help,nodead,exists] Healing Wave; [target=focus,help,nodead,exists] Healing Wave

or you could use

/target toon1
/cast Healing Wave
/cleartarget

/target toon2
/cast Healing Wave
/cleartarget

/target toon3
/cast Healing Wave
/cleartarget

And hot key them to F1-F3, or whatever you like.
With these 2 macros you have the option to have heal focus, or focus target, and heal each toon in situations where Focus isn't fast enough.
