Dual boxing, in a 5 man party

I plan to level up a 2 man group. What is the best what to setup ISBoxer for a 5 man party,with my friends and guild mates? Is there a way to set it up, when everytime the party mebers will change? I am leveling up a druid as main, and shammy as a slave. Druid in tank spec, shammy heals.

Re: Dual boxing, in a 5 man party

I would say set up only what you will control, i.e. the 2 toons. You can't do anything about the others, and as you can't send any commands to them, then you don't need to account for them in your config.

edit:
if you are group healing, then you should be able to set that up via mapped keys/video fx and other wow addons like partyframes/grid etc.

Like the click windows in the healing video?

Can i set the windows up, instead using the party position they are in? And not by a specific character name? Maybe a macro could do this?

Re: Dual boxing, in a 5 man party

Umm, I don't really know actually as it is WOW addon specific, but my completely uninformed opinion is that GRID and CLIQUE are based on the party makeup and there is no ISBoxer specific setup in that so it will have all party members in there regardless of who they are or what position they are in. From what I gather from the video is that GRID and the party frame does the target selection, and CLIQUE is the assignment of a command to stuff like healing on the mouse wheel up/down.

VideoFX is the only ISBoxer specific config in there and that is used purely to display the healer GRID on the non healer, and the passthrough on VIdeoFX takes care of the rest.

The only part you wont have access to is if your other party members have healing abilities. You can't create extra GRID/CLIQUE for them (note that MiRai created 3 GRIDS in this video, 1 for each character that had healing type abilities), because you cannot send that party member the command to do anything. You only have control over your 2 men.

How did your dual set workout?
I currently have a Druid tank n rSham at 66ish. I put all my heals on the mouse wheel up/down mods = alt/shift/cntrl.

Basically no mods wheel up is rip tide on me, wheel down is a sequence of hwavex2 then healing surge.
Shift wheel up is earthshield on me

Then my shift wdown is chain heal on focus target [focus is my tank], So I target party in need and chain heal, or alt wUp for rip tide focus target alt wdown for heal sequence again wave x2, surge.

I get to pulling so fast and druid threat/dps is so quick and snappy that alot of people cant believe i am multi boxing. But when sh!t hits the fan if i am no focus'd the group can wipe hard and fast.
Managed to do several saves with the rock ele pet becoming the tank after my druid went down.

Fun group to play for sure.
