Sheltonator Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I know there is a keybinding section in the fantastic PvP sent guide that was stickied, but I am curious as to what some of you other successful players use. I am more PvE centered, should my keybinds be different since some abilities aren't really used in a PvE setting? Feel free to give a list of your keybinds here, and share ideas and tips that have worked for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeetesSixFive Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Combat 1: Strike 2: Blade Rush 3: Zeal strike 4: Prec Slash 5: Blade Storm 6: Force Leap C: Force Sweep R: Force Kick F: Force Camo T: Dispatch Shift5: Zen Watchman 1: Strike 2: Slash 3: Zeal strike 4: Merc Slash 5: Overload Saber 6: Force Leap C: Cauterize Rest are the same from there. I play both specs quite a bit in both PvP and PvE, setup stays the same, keys are very close to WASD so makes for quick uses for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fascion Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) I always enjoy stuff like this for some reason. First thing I do whenever I see a screenshot or video from a Sentinel perspective is take a look at their hotbars. It blows my mind how many people I see with '1' being Force Leap.

PantsOn Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) I have the Nostromo and the Naga so my movement is bound to the D-Pad (with the stick attachment) and it frees up the whole freaking pad for skills. The way I'm set up right now, I'm only using 1,2,3 and 4,5,6 on the Naga so I have a ridiculous amount of prime real estate left over for when/if they add more skills in expansions. Right now, I use the Naga for my defensive abilities only. That way, my muscle memory with the Nostromo should lead to some very smooth combat once I get used to it (I just got these two and was using a standard Logitech mouse with a Logitech G13 pad before).

Therealkoop Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 guys with the Naga mouse, are you running any macros? Theres a few skills id like to link together. Zealous strike and the basic slash for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? 1 is a good spot for it. 1 was my Charge button in WoW, it only makes sense to keep it the same here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biowareftw Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Buy a g500 mouse logitech (nagas are trash) put zoom in and out on like arrow keys. Use mouse scroll up and down for keybinds, along with mouse tilt left and right and 3 side buttons and middle. Also reprogram the dpi buttons to f keys or [} or whatever. Who needs to switch dpi while gaming anyways lol. Now learn to use control modifiers for the mouse binds. q e r f z x c to start with. progress to t g v b and of course ~-5. If you need more control modifiers for those. You shouldn't have to move wasd over to esdf with a g500. With a crappy mouse you might have to. Why a logitech? Tilt wheels and programmable dpi buttons. I like to put heal pots/one of my trinkets on em. Edited January 29, 2012 by biowareftw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khalma Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) *cough* I'm very unique I guess since I'm the only going to put these bindings. My method works wonders for me. I'm pretty good at what I do and also top out in most fights and WZ's as well. And before you ask no I don't keyboard turn. I use the normal move keys of a,d,s,w Abilities: Num 1 - Strike Num 2 - Zeal Num 3 - Merc slash Num . - Changes from Riptose to Trans or cyclone (AoE..what a laugh) or Pacify Num 4 - Cauterize Num 5 - Force Leap Num 6 - Overload Num 7 - Camo Num 8 - Zen Num 9 - V call Num 0 - Masterstrike (hardly use unless everything is up and just sitting there) Num enter - I change from slash to Cripple Throw depending on pvp or w/e Num + - changes from Force stasis to Force Sweep when needed Num / - I think I made that one GBTF Num * - Awe Num - - Resolute (could be one of the other / or *) Q - Dispatch E - Bladestorm (been meaning to move this but hell got use to the other way, but it does mess with my merc slash at times.. such a pain in the *** to stack merc up once it falls off) Z - relic (really ticks me off we have no macros yet as needing to binds for relics is uber lame) X - relic 1 (normal) - saberward 2 (normal) - rebuke 3 (normal) - Inspiration F - kick I love my class to death but sometimes it sucks w/o some macros or something since we have some proc abilities we can't get use out of like Pummel or Opp strike. I know my way seems a bit off but I been raiding in top world tiers for about the lets say... 8 years. I tried a few different way and this one always gave me the best max potential dps and awareness ability. With that being said I've always wanted to try the Naga on but never been huge on mouse play other then moving and selecting targets.
