ShoteR Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) i'm currently level 35 aprox , and i'm having problems specially in pvp with the skills , there's no room to bind all my offensive skills in the keyboard , and by clicking on them i lose movement , idk if u guys have the same problem but for me it's difficult because in wow i had almost all my dmg abilities binded into keys and didn't have to click on them and focus more on my movement.

Kabaal Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 With plenty of shift+ or alt+, it's not so bad once you get used to it and will serve you well inother games with lots of used abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaquelotus Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I personally have I think 24 key binds. I run the top row with the standard 1 - = config and then the second center row I have set to Alt + 1 - =. Takes some getting used too but I don't think I could actually function well with out those powers. After you bind the skills you want its really all about practice and muscle memory. So that when you're in a "pinch" scenario you don't have to look to see where things are at. We're certainly a power rich class and we need a great many of them. There is just a practice curve on all of it, and at 35 (I'm at the same level) our class is just now starting to really take its shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhijn Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I bound some to: Q, E, G, Z, X, V and F1 to F5. And regular shift+1 ect. Sooo many keys to hit and remember. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taybul Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I use shift+{q, w, e, r, a, s, d, f, z, x, c, v} and ctrl+{q, w, e, r, s, f, z, x, c, v} and ctrl+shift+{a, d} (ctrl+a and ctrl+d bindings don't work for some reason). In total, that's 24 skills. My long CD defensive abilities (ie, endure pain, invincible, saber ward) are on backspace, ctrl+backspace, shift+backspace. Works extremely well for me. Buffs and stances are not keybound (you won't be using or toggling them very often during battle) and put on the side.

MPagano Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 So far? With: 1,2,3,4, Shift 1,2,3,4 alt 1,2,3,4 middle mouse, shift middle mouse, control middle mouse e, shift-e, q, shift-q, r, shift-r, f, shift-f, z, shift-z, x, shift-x, c, shift-c, v, shift-v but I'm running out of easy bindings and I'm only level 38... =( use 5, shift 5, ctrl 1-5, `, shift `, ctrl r, ctrl f, ctrl z, ctrl x, ctrl c, ctrl v, shift t, ctrl t, alt t, shift g, ctrl g, alt g. Some may not be as easy to reach depending on how you manipulate your character. i play jazz piano, so i'm able to reach key combinations that aren't as accessible, but the ones i've listed should all be within 2 keys of your "neutral" position (over w,a,s,d). pinky hits shift and ctrl, thumb hits alt. I never bind e or q because i use strafing while attacking sometimes. I also have 2 mouse buttons with shift and ctrl modifiers. I have more keybinds than abilities and i'm lvl 41. what abilities are you binding? stances, buffs and such don't need to be really. I have my stances bound although i usually click them. I have guard bound because i'm immortal and frequently change guard when appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManCandy Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I have a pretty simple set up: On top bar 1. =,-,0 to E,Q,R respectively 2. 5-9 bound to my Logitech G5 gaming mouse 3. 1-4 I press as normal Bottom Bar: 1. Alt1-Alt4 for 1-4 2. Shift 5-9 (the mouse makes life much easier) 3. Last 3 spots I bind for random keys for stims, channel hatred, and unleash Side bars are usually reserved for buffs, mounts, trinkets etc My biggest problem so far is on every other mmo i have used Z,X as my trinket spot. I got X to work fine, but Z binds to sheath and unsheath and I haven't figured out how to unbind it yet.

ManCandy Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Another good Trick my brother uses (I am not coordinated enough) he remaps his movement keys to E,S,D,F Then you end up with Q,W,R,T,A,G,Z,X,C,V all within reasonable reach. Although every time I try to play his toon i spin around in circles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedUOF Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 buy a logitech g13, use the joystick for movement. once your used to it, you = ******. Razer naga is also helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although every time I try to play his toon i spin around in circles. I'm thinking about this, but after ~10 years of gaming with wasd... I don't know if my brain could function with esdf Atm, I have: 1-4 (5 is too far for my stubby fingers) Q,E,R,F,Z,X,C S+(Q,E,R,F,Z,X,C) As well as 2 mouse buttons. Thats 20, all of which I use constantly, and several more abilities that really need to be bound, so I'm going to look into esdf I suppose, It does open up a lot more keys.

Jeminis Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I use a cyborg rat 7, you can map multiple keys to each button so I put both sunder and that basic rage building strike on the same one, in that order. Uses sunder when its available and the other strike when its on cd. Thats only for 2 skills obviously, but thats the technique I plan on using to keep all my moves under control.

Grimhand Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Move forward and back peddle aren't bound (I use my mouse to move...strafe/mouse if I need to move backwards - never turn your back!). W/R are my strafes...and all UI functions/Sit/Sheath are bound to numpad. My keybinds are as follows: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, q, e, t, y, a, s, d, f, g, h, z, x, c, v, b, n, f6, f7, f8, f9, shift 1-3, shift a,d,f,q,e,r,z,x,c, scroll wheel up/down, mouse button 4/5. Shift keys are for things like pots/adrenals/throw huttball/mounts/buffs. F keys are for forms/OOC heal. T Mouse button 4/5 are for intercede/force charge. Mouse wheel up is guard, mouse wheel down is interrupt. Number keys are defensive cds/stunbreaker/taunts atm they all fit on those 6 buttons. Letter keys are for my abilities. The class is really fun, and has a high skill cap, but it won't be possible to play for people who don't use custom keybinds....it isn't a keyboard turners class.

Sookster Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) I'm left handed so I use arrow keys, keypad for the hotbars (I'm not a mouse clicker), insert key for targetting (ctrl insert as well), delete for ventrilo mic, home for target companion for quick healing or guard or focus, end for autorun, keypad (ctrl)1-9,0,.,=, 8 mouse buttons, a couple on control and shift mouse buttons, ctrl+wheeldown to target friendlies, I pretty much use up everything I can access. Been doing this for 10+ years in MMO games, and even today I still find new convenient key combinations.
