Warrior/Priest combo?

[2Boxer]

Ok, lemme say first that I did some research on all the available multiplex/key broadcast mods. I am really not interested in running 2 or more of the same class/spec combinations.

I need something that doesn't always broadcast keystrokes. I need something that will send keys to another program (my priest wow box), while I stay focused on my initial program (warrior wow box). Part of my big problem is when a party member does something stupid, pulls agro off the tank, I then have to switch to the priest window, find the target and bubble it. Sometimes this doesn't work out fast enough and they die only to complain later.

What suggestions do you have to fix this? Thanks in advance for the input.

For anything to work, you either need a hardware broadcast solution (multiple PC's) or a software broadcast program.

Keyclone is probably the easiest to set up.
I use InnerSpace, and like it a lot, but there are other options.

They all have the option to broadcast everything typed.
Or to broadcast only certain things, via Keymaps or a White List/Black List type setting.

Also you can put things on a given keybind.
For example the warrior can use keys 1 to 8.
The priest can use keys 9, 0, - and =.
Maybe have the warriors dps macro on 1 and 2.
Put the priests dps macro on 2.
When you press 1, the priest is not doing dps so they can heal.
When you don't need heals, press 2, so the priest helps kill things.
And then put on 3 through 8 situational things like Charge/Intercept, Overpower, Shield Wall etc.

There are a ton of options, everyone has their own set up and preferences.




The easiest solution is to set up the priest to assist the warrior.

Set up the priest macro, something like this:

#show Renew
/assist WarriorName
/cast [help] Renew; [help, target=targettarget] Renew; [help, target=targettargettarget] Renew

#show Power Word: Shield
/assist WarriorName
/cast [help] Power Word: Shield; [help, target=targettarget] Power Word: Shield; [help, target=targettargettarget] Power Word: Shield

Put each of your desired macro's on their own keybind.
Something which the warrior doesn't use.

When you click one of these, the priest will assist the warrior thereby gaining the same target.
If that target is friendly, the spell fires off.

So now, on the warrior, you can target someone who needs a heal or bubble etc, and have the priest perform the desired action.

If the warrior's target is hostile, then the first condition [help] fails, which means it tries the next condition [help, target=targettarget]. So the priest targets the warrior's target and casts at the target of the warrior's target. This condition will almost always be your warrior, but if you group with others and someone overnukes, as long as the warrior is targeting the mob, the second condition will target the person the mob is beating on.

The third condition will likely only come into effect during PvP.
Basically mobs rarely target other mobs in combat, they're almost always beating on someone.
