Help with addons

[szokemeister]

Alright so I am basically new to multiboxing. I have had pwnboxer for a day and I'm in love but I have a question. I am rolling with two disc priests but I am not sure how to correctly set up the macros needed to heal focus or what not. Any advice would be great. And if my question didn't make sense, tell me and I'll try to reword it.

If you are using a focus based approach...

Have both of the priests with the same macros on each keybind.
So when you press "4" (or whatever key you use), they both cast the same heal.

Your main heals will be Penance and Flash Heal. Renew will be a good top-up, outside of combat (doesn't hurt to use in combat too).

You'll want Prayer of Mending, either as a heal or a buff that you refresh often.

PW: Shield should probably be on round-robin, along with Pain Suppression.

Holy Nova is pretty good AoE heals, but if you're taking a lot of damage then PW: Shield (for the haste) and Prayer of Healing is a decent option too.



Both toons have:

#show
/castsequence [help, @FocusTarget][help, @FocusTargetTarget] reset=7 Penance, Flash Heal, Flash Heal, Flash Heal

#show
/cast [help, @FocusTarget][help, @FocusTargetTarget] Renew



Round-Robin effects will be like this:

Priest A
#show
/castsequence [help, @FocusTarget][help, @FocusTargetTarget] reset=10 Pain Supression,,,

Priest B
#show
/castsequence [help, @FocusTarget][help, @FocusTargetTarget] reset=10 ,,,Pain Supression

You can tweak the reset.
Valid conditions include combat (resets when toons leave combat), target (resets when you change targets), mod:alt (resets when you press the mod key with the macro.. can also use shift and ctrl as mod arguments), or a number (resets when you have not pressed the macro for that many seconds).
A short reset like 10, lets the macro sync with each other, so each priest is on the same stage of progression.
You could do the same syntax for PW: Shield, but probably a shorter reset.



I'd probably give them a self buff keybind macro.
Have the same macro for each on that keybind.
Consider something like:

#show
/castsequence [target=player] reset=7 Prayer of Mending, Inner Fire, Power Word: Shield, Levitate, Null

This gets you PoM on the first hit, IF on the second hit of the key, PW:Shield on the third push, Levitate on the fourth hit of the key, and nothing beyond that no matter how much you spam the key.
However, after 7 seconds of not pushing the key at all, it will reset to the first stage.

You would typically press this, before starting a pull.
It will place Prayer of Mending (once you have it) on your toons, ensure Inner Fire is up, on another press get you PW: Shield if you want it, and Levitate on the last push.
You could of course put Levitate on its own key, since it drops if you get into combat... it's there more for an example of what you can do.




I am sort of giving suggestions I have liked with my priests.
For the most part, I have a priest on a mixed team, along with other toons.
My heals used to be macro based, but are now based on mouse clicks into repeater regions, which hit Grid frames...
But I still have some macro based heals, for out of party/raid healing... that's what I started with.

I can suggest, but ultimately... you'll find what works or does not work for you.

Wow thanks man!

[szokemeister]

Oh I just saw you used Grid, that is what I usually use but I have now idea how to set up the mouse broadcasting with Pwnboxer

[Ualaa]

My software is a bit different.
It has a feature, which Pwnboxer will have soon, although I'm not sure if it will be exactly the same.

Basically, there's a region on the screen, which when my mouse enters, it turns on broadcasting. I can configure which toon or toons receive the broadcast of the mouse. One my mixed team, with a dedicated priest healer, only the priest gets the broadcasts. On my Pally/Warlock/3x Shaman team, all three shammies get the broadcast clicks.

Shammies use:
Alt + Left Click = Lesser Healing Wave
Alt + Right Click = Chain Heal

Priest uses:
Alt + Left Click = Renew
Alt + Right Click = PW: Shield
Ctrl + Left Click = Penance
Ctrl + Right Click = Flash Heal
Shift + Left Click = Pain Suppression
Shift + Right Click = Prayer of Healing

Also have Holy Nova on a mouse thumb button.
Prayer of Mending is on a buff key.



I'm using Grid + GridCustomLayouts, for an alphabetical sorting, so the top frame is always the same toon irregardless of the screen.

The sort conditional is:
order=Name;

And then Clique is used to interpret my clicks.

You could do both the frames and the interpretation with Healbot or Vuhdo. Or alternatively, OpenRDX can be used for your frames, the same as Grid. Pretty much a preference call, don't think one is that much better then another.

Take a look at the Dockable Clickmapping in Pwnboxer, its friggen amazing.

For example, here is 2 buttons you could make on your screen

Make 2 macros on your guys, each of them bound to a key (eg, F12 and F11)

/cast [target=player] Flash Heal

/cast [target=OtherPriestName] Flash Heal

Then use the dockable clickmapping to create 2 buttons on your main game window. Make button 1 called FlashA and button 2 called FlashB. Then put button 1 as F12, and button 2 as F11.

Now if you simply click the button, both your priests will heal priest A, or both can heal priest B. Its amazing!

Now do that for renew and also for power world shield.

Trust me, you will love it and wonder how you lived without it

Here is some info about dockable clickmapping:

New Pwnboxer Released 12/13/09 - Dockable Clickmapping

That post is old, the version now is even MORE improved.

Alrighty will do!

I have never seen help or @ usded in macros.. I was wondering what they do in the macro and or does it stand for something your suppose to add in depending on the team or target of the team. For example does the help mean the target will be the one that needs the heal the most and what does @FocusTaraget do and why have it stated twice. I really like the idea of the resets and ideas of round robins.
#show
/castsequence [help, @FocusTarget][help, @FocusTargetTarget] reset=7 Penance, Flash Heal, Flash Heal, Flash Heal

#show
/cast [help, @FocusTarget][help, @FocusTargetTarget] Renew



Round-Robin effects will be like this:

Priest A
#show
/castsequence [help, @FocusTarget][help, @FocusTargetTarget] reset=10 Pain Supression,,,

Priest B
#show
/castsequence [help, @FocusTarget][help, @FocusTargetTarget] reset=10 ,,,Pain Supression

[Ualaa]

@ is a shortcut, introduced I believe in 3.2.

You can use it in the place of, "target="

So...
[help, @FocusTarget]

Is exactly the same (functionally speaking, aside from the number of characters in the macro) as:
[help, target=FocustTarget]
