Most of the healers have used the mod "Grid". Not as many use a mod called "Clique" that allows you to assign various spells to your mouse buttons, then you can click any unit frame with the button needed to cast the spell you want. (IE, anytime i left click a unit frame, i cast a big heal, anytime i right click it casts my fast heal, etc, etc) And you don't even have to change targets!

So... I was thinking it would be cool to have a "clique/grid iphone app!" So wow would be open on my laptop, we're in 25 man naxx, and i can kick back and just tap heal as needed while watching 24 or Heros while my iphone controls wow via bluetooth!

Anyways, i realized i was in way over my head so I stopped thinking about it. :( But it would be sweet!
 
/agree with ewoks. This is definitely more practical and less goofy than a lot of mods that are already out there...

I recall reading some WAR vs. Wo1 review awhile back where the reviewer opined that he'd seen WoW run well on such underpowered systems that it was only a matter of time before WoW for iPhone was released anyhow... Maybe during one of your lunch breaks you can drive up the road to take Steve Jobs some chicken noodle soup and ask him to get someone on that..
 
Is it weird ... Or appropriate ... Given this thread's subject matter that I am currently posting from my blackberry? Maybe goblit and avesther can get their canadian compatriots at RIM to make WoW fir blackberry so I can get to level 80 before 2010...
 
Here is an early draft screen shot for your Tree. Again I have some kinks to work out but I did highly optimize the "who_to_heal" function to 99.9% of the time choose the correct target to heal. .1% of the time it targets hunters for some reason... Anywho, let me know if it will work for you:

you could certainly, in theory, send keys to WoW so that part wouldn't be terribly difficult. that being said, i would make a small wager that the "warden" looks for those APIs being used and would put you on some iffy terms with the ToS
 
err...and there's the fact that you can't get data *out* of WoW unless you're hijacking the network traffic, which again...ToS violation
 
LOL Sandric. Your mod would have worked just fine for me back in the early Gruul's lair days....
 
@ Nevi's comments:

At what point does a flexible input device stop? E.g. Nostromo, Saitek Cyborg, or G15 keys?

At what point is an alternate data output stop? E.g. 2nd monitor? Or G15 LCD?

Might be a non-dicey way out... maybe..
 
nostromo doesn't read data from WoW (which a tethered application to interact with it would)...

the general consensus is that those are okay, but there have been reports of people getting banned when they run the actual software for nostromo which can set timings and all of that stuff (i think G15 can as well...but it's been a while since i've used mine...much more fond of my tarantula now!). i never got "caught" with mine, but...as i said, some people have claimed it...but then again, who *really* knows what else was running on their systems?

it's not a matter of display output...although that does make me think of treating it in a different manner in which the iPod would actually be a second display device registered in your system...but that brings a host of other issues along with it. you would have to span it across the monitors and utilize some sort of viewport mod to move the hot keys around. at that point, you're not really talking about a mod to do the work, since you could do that with existing items...you're talking about writing a display driver for the iPod.
 
I am not sure which is more sad/funny.

Tree the idea man.

Or the rest of you guys for trying to figure out a way to feed is addictions?
