Ability to hot key potions

Gervis · April 2014

Hey all,

Although I have had limited experience in PVP so far, my experience with the inability to hot key multiple potions one not only reduces the importance of potion crafting because of the uneasy ability to switch potions mid fight (although this is slight). Two means that fights are a lot shorter and all about burst as you can not have multiple potions and three mean that some potions will become incredibly demanded by players but others thrown aside.

What do people think about the quick slot system, would you rather see hot key options? Could this be balanced with potion cool down timers for similar pots to counter the multiple potions available?

Ah thanks for this, does this mean that I will have to double tap the associated hot key, to set it and then use it?

Also, what do you think about the inability to keybind (shift+X) slots?
Or is that enabled with this addon?

no and no

you have to press the associated key to chose the potion and use it like allways with q(or wathever key you have potion usage associated with)
key modifiers are for what ever reason prohibited to be used by ZOS.

So what the add on does is enable me to map the quick slots to key so then I would press that associated key and then q ?

Yep and if you have a gaming mouse or key you can macro that to effectively select+use instantaneously. I believe there are macro utilities as well for that, need to check as I absolutely have to set my function keys to the various pots, the wheel interface is plain bad during heavy fights.

you use f1 to select the Q slot, then Q to use.
You can map to gaming mouse/keyboards f1,Q etc to make it instant, but tbh as is with the addon is plenty convenient IMO. I didn't bother to map it further than the addon.

Thanks guys appreciate the help, maybe I will look into macro'ing because it would enable shift+X key binding?
but at the moment I think the addon will work fine

Sorry late reply.

Basically all the information you asked is on the page i linked.
You can go into the addon settings to see for yourself.

You can press the "." to select the potion, from the UI this addon provides.
Or you can open your keybind settings and see that the addon created hotkeys for you, you can change these to whatever you want.

But the game is very limiting with it's API, so you must use "Q" to use the potion.
