What do you have your abilities and other things keybinded to?

Gothlander · July 2017

I just want to maybe give and get ideas from other players to make playing our characters the most optimal. So if you have any good tips, let us know here.

I use a razor naga mouse and I use the side buttons to weapon swap and abilities. Scroll up is binded to roll Dodge. Scroll down is to crouch. The E key on my keyboard is to interrupt. The side buttons at the bottom of the mouse 10, 11, and 12 are used for stuff like opening map and freeing up my mouse cursor to chat or open mail.

I use my mouse for the following: Synergy, weapon swap, jump, ultimate, stow weapon.

I use the following keys for movement: Space bar forward, B back up, D right, S left.

I use QWERT for skills 1-5.

Let's see, A for auto run/walk, F for get/activate, X for sneak.

3 for quickslot.

Not saying it is all optimal but seems to work pretty well for me.

where do you slot your macros? ;D

Lol. I don't use any. The only thing you would be able to macro would be light attacks with your abilities, but even that doesn't work out to well.

Very Weird set up you have there. What do you use to jump?

MarzAttakz · July 2017

F1 = Pot Slot 1
F2 = Pot Slot 2
F3 = Pot Slot 3

Q = Ultimate
E = Interact
F = Break Free/Bash
V = Crouch

TAB = Bar Swap

SB 1 = 1
SB 2 = 2
SB 3 = 3

SB 4 = 4
SB 5 = 5
SB 7 = Dodge
SB 8 = Heavy Attack

Mouse Scroll Forward = Bar 1
Mouse Scroll Back = Bar 2

Side Buttons 1,2,3 and 8 are keyed to Macro's but hear me out ...

I've been gaming for 20 years and I'm a software developer so my daily keyboard and mouse usage is fairly extreme, I've had to take steps to reduce wrist and finger damage over the years, even so my thumb, pointer and middle finger on my mouse hand take serious strain. I also play from Southern Africa so the lowest my ping can go is 250 which present certain challenges when it comes to weaving and when I can be bothered, animation cancelling.

8 is mapped to a staff heavy attack timing plus a few milliseconds to be fair.
1, 2, 3 are mapped to a light weave with a delay of around 250ms, again to be fair because I can replicate that by "hand".

If doing so gets me banned, so be it, I'd rather be able to still use my hand in future, instead of destroying it via meta-key-mashing.

I see you use mouse for jumping. Do you strife at all?

Sigtric · July 2017

My set up is as follows

Skills 1-5 remain, but are bound to the 1-5 thumb buttons on my corsair mouse and used there.
Synergy is rebound to R for easy to reach (for me X is a bit easier to fumble)
Ulti is bound to Y, and is stuck on the 11 thumb key on my mouse and is accessed there.
Pet command if needed is then rebound to X

Dodgeroll double tap is turned off, and dodgeroll is bound to middle mouse wheel press
Bar swap remains as default but is bound to a button directly below my mouse wheel and used there.

Basically my keyboard hand is only for movement and synergy (plus panels like guild panel, skill sheet, etc)
Mouse hand is for aiming and attacks

Almost the same set up as me. I like my weapon swap on my side buttons on mouse. If you use swap where you have it or on mouse wheel, that takes your index finger off of your left mouse button, stopping your light and heavy attacks. I am looking to change my roll Dodge from my mouse wheel scroll up to some where else. Need my index solely on the left mouse button.

Liofa · July 2017

Mouse Scroll Down > Interrupt

Shift > Roll Dodge

Alt > Sprint

Everything else is default .

If I am barswapping it's stopping attacks for that moment anyway and I personally haven't seen any difference between it and when I used to use default kb key for swaps. Whatever works best for you though!

You are right. I will look into that a little more.

Weapon Swap: Mouse Wheel Up sounds very useful. Not sure if it slows down our rotation or animation cancelling for those of us who use left mouse button for light/heavy attacks. Got to look into it more.

Balsagna · July 2017

um, I hold Y to bar swap...lol

Xvorg · July 2017

WASD as usual
spacebar = Jump
left alt = sprint
ctrl= sneak

M4 = skill 1
M5= skill 2
M3= Skill 3
M central = Skill 5
Scroll (up and down)= Skill 4

R = Ulti
Q= Quickslot
E= action
X= synergy
