Back In The Game!

Well, I've re-joined the multiboxing community as of yesterday.

My previous 5 man group was a huge success but I had to drop out of the game for a while and sold all 5 of my accounts. A move I've regretted.

I'm starting up my new group on the PVE server Sen'jin.. I'm playing with a friend, doing RAF and leveling using the guide for Tourguide created by the DB community. Currently my team is just a 2 man team, but I plan on expanding it to the full 5 man mixed group in the next month.

The Team

• Paladin - Tank (unrolled)
• Druid - Healer (unrolled)
• Hunter - DPS (unrolled)
• Priest - DPS (lvl 12)
• Warlock - DPS (lvl 12)

Software Tools

I'm using Plexer for key broadcasting. It costs $25 and it's worth every penny.

Addons

I use a number of addons on my main, but they are largely personal choices. There are 2 addons that I am currently using which are integral to the functionality of my team.

First is Jamba which should be in every multiboxers addon list. It it amazing for managing your team and I highly recommend it.

Second is Macaroon which takes care of my desire for minimalist ui, and allows for long macros.

Macros

I'm not going to cover basics. Read the forums if you want to learn about basic targeting and whatnot.

I use a no-focus targeting system. During non-combat all slaves target my lead and follow him. The targeting is not necessary but it makes my life easy and I have no need to eliminate that aspect.

During combat my slaves pull their target from whichever character I decide is my main assist. I call it sticky targeting. Each of my DPS macros has the following line.

/target [target=target, harm, exists, nodead][target=party1target, harm, exists, nodead]

What this does is grabs whoever my main assist (party1)'s target happens to be as long as it is hostile and exists. Then they use a cast sequence to pew pew it. When it dies, they will automatically aquire a new target, rinse and repeat.

I generally have two DPS macros. One is a simple one with whatever direct damage spells are available to the class. It's designed for finishing mobs and killing non-elite mobs where using dots is a waste of time and mana. However, my group is designed to be a PVE group and as such, my main DPS macro is a long cast sequence designed to put out good sustainable DPS vs. elite and boss mobs. Each cast sequence has the following line in it.

/castsequence reset=target/combat

This resets the cast sequence when they aquire a new target ensuring that mobs have dots and other such effects on them.

Here is my current level 12 warlock macro. I haven't trained abilities since lvl 6 so there are some improvements to be made soon as I visit a trainer.

#show Shadow Bolt
/target [target=target, harm, exists, nodead][target=party1target, harm, exists, nodead][target=party2target, harm, exists, nodead]
/stopmacro [noharm][channeling]
/petattack
/castsequence reset=target/combat Immolate, Corruption, Shadow Bolt, Shadow Bolt, Shadow Bolt

Hope this helped some.
