![]() What hotkeys do you experienced bards use? I feel like hotkeys are more important for bards than the average class because we often have to hit a lot of keys while moving and we have to be careful about the strain we put on our hands from hitting so many keys. I assume most bards use macros for their 8 songs of the form /stopsong, /cast n. Here's what I used until recently when I started experimenting more:
Movement forward: w back: s left: a right: d strafe left: shift + a strafe right: shift + d autorun: q Targeting target nearest NPC: ` (backtick) cycle NPC's: tab target nearest PC: shift + ` cycle PC's: shift + tab Messaging incoming: ctrl + q charming/mezzing: ctrl + 1 Physical Attacks: autoattack: e ranged attack: alt + e assist: alt + q Song Macros 1: 1 2: 3 3: 3 4: 4 5: alt + 1 6: alt + 2 7: alt + 3 8: alt + 4 Pet Commands attack: r back: alt + r follow: f guard: alt + f Camera first person: mouse button 4 (Logitech MX518) user defined: mouse button 5 The main reason I want to switch to a new setup is because it's too awkward to twist songs while holding down w, which can be important when pulling, kiting, or just chasing after a tank who likes to move around a lot. I saw one bard, for example, who bound his song macros to 4, e, r, f, and shift + 4, shift + e, shift + r, and shift + f, which is better, but still suffers from putting too much of the strain of twisting on the index finger. | ||
