Main Bar

6 - Mind Snap (mapped left horizontal scroll on my mouse to emulate the '6' key)

7 - Force Stun (mapped right horizontal scroll on my mouse to emulate the '7' key)

8 - Force Wave (mapped to mouse sensitivity up on my mouse to emulate the '8' key)

9 - Force of Will (mapped to mouse sensitivity down on my mouse to emulate the '9' key)

~ - Spinning Strike (remapped 0 to ~)

 

How did you get horizontal scroll working? I have mine bound to some non essential F keys on the far end that work fine when bound on my G15 but I have not for the life of me been able to get the left and right scroll wheel buttons to work. Logitech G5 Laser Mouse.

 

I have tried running set pointe as admin but cannot get the default setup to overide in SWTOR.

All the other skills, stims, speeder and stuff and scattered around the other spots. It is kind of a mess right now since things just kind of got added as I leveled and I don't really want to change things right now.

[GTPWilks]

I uses WASD to move (but use the both mouse buttons to do most the moving)

1,2,3,4,5,Q,E,R,F,Mouse4,Home,End on top toolbar

Bottom is the same just everything with Shift

Ctrl1 and 2 for the Companion

Then on side toolbar I have CTRL (Q,E,R,F) and T,G,V

I also have f1 - f4 for targetting grp, tab as default for target switching, then a few misc things for autorun, targets target, set focus and what not bound to ctrl and the mouse buttons

everything else I can click. Screenshot shows what I have located where but it may change as I adjust

 

Home and End are actually setup on my scroll wheel of my mouse when you click it side to side.

 

I played all the way to 50 with clicking and was ok but not to good in PVP. So in order to learn using hotkeys I started a Bounty Hunter and played to level 25, just enough to have a full set of stuff to use and be used to that. Just last night I came back to my shadow and I am still making some mistakes on learning what keys are what and in what situations, but I saw about a 50% increase in my DPS. I still need some practice but that is what I will stick to. I just have a regualr Microsoft Keyboard and a G5 Logitech Mouse which neither have anything special as far as extra keys to program.

Edited February 16, 2012 by Phedias

[MrDeas]

I use ESDF for movement to keep my hand on the natural home row, and strafe by mouselooking while using S & F. I have 36 hotkeys I can press without looking at the keyboard:

 

1 2 3 4 5 6

! @ # $ % ^

q w r t y a

Q W R T Y A

g h z x c v

G H Z X C V

 

My shadow is only 17 so I can't really list a keymap (my 50 guardian uses every hotkey). 1-5 is my standard rotation, s4 & s5 is my AE stuff, s2 & s3 is my channeled crap

 

qwrty is my frequent use cooldowns and rest

agh is snares/interrupts

zxcv is reactive/stealth/cc

 

QWRTYAGH is long cooldown abilities that I don't usually need to watch the cooldown for, they are only for big fights basically.

 

ZXCV is buffs/stances that I use.

 

7-= and s7-s= are abilities I just click to use, as they are non-combat.

 

This is a strange setup. It seems very intensive on one hand which would most likely slow me down or mean my hands get int he way of each other.

[MrDeas]

I am only levelling my Shadow atm so I won't put specific abilities but general areas that I use.

 

 

 

Top Central Bar - Bound to right numberpad, going in sequence:

 

7 8 9 4 5 6 1 2 3 0 . * These are my bread and butter abilties.

 

7 8 & 9 are standard attacks.

 

4 5 6 are either AoE or melee attacks for ranged classes.

 

1 2 3 DoT attacks, possibly with armour pen if the class has it.

 

0 is my in combat cc (short term instant cast)

 

(.) is my "finisher", the type of ability that gets used when they are at low hp/for my Agent the stealthed cc

 

(*) whatever gives highest damage at the expense of highest cast time (think ravage for the SW)

 

 

 

Bottom Central Bar Bound to keypad running along the top of the letters using 1 through to =

 

1 is my interupt

 

2 is my cc breaker

 

the rest are taken up with either heals/tanking abilities or with DPS classes more attacks (this is flexible as to what I use these ones for but they're the less used/more utilitarian skills)

 

 

 

Left Quickslot All bound to shift + bottom central binds

 

These are my buffs and PvP heals, starting with most urgent using shift + 1 and working down.

 

Last few of the binds are taken up with cc's with cast times.

 

Right Quickslot ctrl + bottom central quickslot (missing out the last 4 though)

 

Generally out of combat abilties, medpacs/less used stims will be put on the end closest to left and working down in priority. I could click these but I'm lazy.

 

 

 

Companion Quickslot ctrl + shift + bottom central quickslot. (not used that often thus the obscure binding)

 

 

 

Targetting ctrl + 9 to = on the bottom central quickslot also use directional keys and f keys

 

ctrl + 9 targets companion

 

0 to = targets party members

 

directional keys for next/nearest enemy and friend

 

f keys do various focus etc targets.

 

 

 

 

 

I believe that is all of them. It makes perfect sense in my mind to use this method as I don't own special gear. It's simplistic and means that I'm not constantly ******* my right hand between mouse and keyboard during combat which reduces time time to react. I also try to place abilities I need quickly close to where my hands naturally are. Such as interupt and cc breaker.

Edited February 17, 2012 by MrDeas

[BobbFettle]

Set-up: Standard keyboard and programable FPS type mouse 3 extra buttons + vertical scroll wheel.

 

(Confession: I'm going to start working on a esdf or possibly tfgh layout tonight (Read about it today, that's why I found this thread.) I still have a lot to learn and constantly try to improve my concept.)

 

Mouse buttons

 

I've reprogrammed mouse button 6 (between scroll wheel and left click) to be Ctrl. This allows me to do Cross over button duplication. I double all my keyboard buttons by pressing ctrl on my mouse. I double mouse buttons using shift on my keyboard. It means I do not have to do funny contortions trying to hold in shift while pressing something else

 

Scroll up- target closest enemy/ scroll down-target next enemy

Shift scroll up-closes friend / shift scroll down-next friend. (This made a BIG difference to my effectiveness)

(Alt scroll up and down for zoom in or out. I use alt keys for normal keyboard functions such as alt c to open character screen.)

Button 3-resilience /Shift 3- force cloak

Button 4- Stealth/ Shift 4- Force sprint

Button 5 /Shift 5 quick stun/ slow for kiting while strafing backwards.

 

Keyboard

 

As mentioned still wad for movement. (I don't uses s for backwards, too slow. Rather strafe sideways)

 

As mentioned I double up all my keys using the ctrl on my mouse. The normal key is used for the most used function. The Ctrl key combination is for a similar function but one less frequently used.

 

 

I.e. 'e' (next to 'w') is my normal close combat (Double strike) Ctrl-e is used for spinning strike.

r/ctrl-r: 2 less used close combat attacks say out of force attack and backstab

q/Ctrl-q: ranged attacks (normally project and TK Throw)

Tab- 2 abilities that I use often and need to access quickly (I don't use alt for any combat combos (ended tabbing myself out of battle too often)

On that note ctrl+spacebar to interrupt casting (This is really fast)

z - abilities I use going into combat say force potency and a relic for critical strike ability

x/ ctrl-x: Meditate/ med pack

c/ ctrl-c: force wave/ handgrenade

 

f: cc break

 

t- Stable cc's before going into combat such as mind maze

 

`,1,2,3,4,5 + ctrl key combos (other utilities)

6/ ctrl-6: recovery keys after death: Force Valor and enable sprint.

 

I tried to get a layout where I can reach all the keys comfortably without moving my left hand and where I can get all the critical stuff while on the move.

 

Questions and feedback most welcome.

[SoundOfDeath]

I've never heard of someone who doesn't use S for backwards...interesting point about it being slow.

[Churro]

Moving backwards is the second-slowest motion your character can make, after walking-speed forward movement. Some people recommend unmapping the S key altogether but I just conditioned myself to strafe sideways instead of moving backward, and I can quickly get outta the way whenever needed.

Here is mine. I think I almost ran out of space to put keybinds. After I hit 50 I will probably re-map all of them to get similar ones together and the most used ones at easier buttons.

Interesting! Tell me, what build do you play and what's the difference between 1-5 on the main and 1-5 on the left quickbinds?

[BobbFettle]

I've been playing with using esdf for movement and it's really working well. Having q, a and z just a pinky away is a game changer!

 

Have to confess, I've rebound my back key. I don't use it while kiting but it's too convenient not to have

 

I'm surprised that more people does not use the two keys next to forward move for the most used strikes (In my case w and r since I use e) Since I've started doing that back in my WoW Cat druid days I've never looked back.

Edited February 20, 2012 by BobbFettle

[Smerte]

E-SDF for movement and every skill bound around it. One magic hand!

 

Oh and I did bind resilience, hutball-throw and the stun-free skill on my mouse
