Which button do you slot a shield?

    It depends on my role/rotation and what convenient for me in terms of priority.
    I use keys 1 and 2 on my keyboard but 3-5 and everything else are mapped to keys on my mouse.

    X and LB Xbox one.

    The only thing that really matters about which button is what skill is in the other side for bar swaps. Once a time I had frags on the same button and when I quickly flipped it would sometimes catch the frag button and start hard casting. This problem also exists with assassin's will and dampen.

    I have it on 1 and my nearest thumb button on my mouse.

    On any build/class, that's where my heal/shield button goes. Helps to maintain consistent play when swapping toons and reduces my "spin-up" to get rolling on that toon.

    Don't have a fixed spot, I just follow a system:

    Buffs and debuffs - DoTs - Direct Damage - Heals - Shields - Inner Light

    5 is always my Recovery or Protect me key. No matter what skill I use or class I am playing.

    The only exception is my tank, where Igneous Shield is #3 but that is part of my rotation so it needs to be in a different place.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    "Left, right, left, right, up, down, A, B, left, left, right, right, down, up, A, B, B, A, start" to use shield. Incidentally this will also give you 99 lives.

    I use 1 or 5 depending on the build.

    Isn't that how you unlock Goro is MK3?

    I use LB (equivalent of 4). I have a rule I follow called buffs on bumpers to keep XYB free for action skills. RB (equivalent of 5) I use fir static skills that generally aren’t used or are used least often (IE Inner Light I only use before dropping an ultimate). So far it’s worked really well for me.
