Edmond Dantes posted:Also just make the bloody pet actions change depending on which pet is out, don't make us map each one independently. Making summoning a pet change your button bindings is one of the things you can safely macro with /hotbar if you want. While you definitely shouldn't macro anything to Jolt since regardless how how much you'd like to you cast quite a lot of it and adding .1 to .3 seconds of cast time -- which is effectively what a macro does to a GCD ability -- would be bad I think people are sometimes a little too paranoid about not macroing anything, regardless of how rarely they use it. I found my Cleric Stance uptime increased once I macroed it to Shadow Flare, for instance, because I kept forgetting the drat thing. And sure, I could learn to use Cleric Stance correctly instead of using that macro, but in practice I can't be arsed and am willing to pay the terrible price of maybe 0.5% less mighty Scholar DPS than my theoretical max for the convenience of not having to do that.

I like the stance-specific and mutually exclusive actions being merged, but I hate the PVP combo system. I'd rather them just kill combos all together and average out the effects over one button.

I went to update my DRK's weapon (it was at a paltry 310 because I hadn't done virtually any 70 content with it) and it went pretty well, the 380 crafted was going for about 400k gil which was much lower than I expected. Then I saw someone was selling one for 5 million... with 5 materia melded in it. At first I thought that was cool, but then I realized it would never sell because wouldn't anyone with sense just buy a cheaper one and immediately trade it up for the 390, which means taking out any materia affixed to it?

Might’ve been made before the upgrade trade was put in. But yes, the +1 weapon damage far outweighs any kind of overmelds it might have. There might be an argument for certain crafted items/accessories, since the upgraded ones can’t be overmelded (I know BiS for tanks and MNK includes crafted accessories), but definitely not for weapons. Got a eurekafied static member who’s offering to help get eureka relic weapons. I asked about what if the random stats are terrible, but a little math showed they’d have to be absolutely dismal and the tomestone weapon absolutely incredible before relic wasn’t an upgrade. Weapon damage is super, super important.

I finally started messing around a bit with some dps after playing WAR pretty much exclusively and it's making me wonder why Storm's Eye isn't part of the classbar; it's so much nicer having all the stuff you have to keep track of right there

Emalde posted:Hell, PvP also lets you just do normal 1 2 3 buttons if you're part of the crowd that is somehow threatened by combo buttons. Nothing threatening about it. One button shouldn't have: Multiple number of targets (only applicable for monk) Multiple effects Multiple positional requirements Multiple resource costs Multiple resource generation So far what they do makes sense, like with Inner Beast/Fel Cleave, Gierskogul/Nastrond, etc. so that's a good start, the combos are more than incrementally bigger hits on the same target. And nobody is going to split pvp-type combos into 6 buttons because that's even dumber, especially if that's the way SE is going to fight expansion button bloat. Kaubocks posted:hmm, started to poke around with this but it doesn't seem to be quite what i'm looking for for a couple reasons... If I understand, just make the same slot in each hot bar the macro button to swap to the other set. Say, on DPS bar #12, you have the aggro toggle. On aggro bar #12, you have the DPS toggle

TheHeadSage posted:Gonna have to explain this one to me, you can only use Sheltron twice depending on how built up the gauge is. that's true, you only gain 25 gauge every 15 seconds in sword oath, so you can't sheltron literally every shield swipe. that's one of the reasons getting creative with poo poo like cover+bulwark is important. paladin really enjoys being the main tank (not the pulling tank, though) for this reason - getting hit with auto attacks means more opportunities to block and swipe for free.

Much easier on your hands. i do QERF, M3, and M5 + their shift and ctrl variants all have things bound to them. 1-6 is just easier for me to internalize as the main combo abilities with everything else being oGCDs or buff/debuffs/role actions  (i try not to bind too many things to ctrl because of it being a pain in the dick)

At this point Ctrl and Alt are easy peasy to hit for me, it's just second nature. I always have my pinky hovering over there., but then again I don't have to reach up for the number keys because I have a G600 and can hit that stuff with my right thumb easily.

Pretty often. Best practice is to do it as much as humanly possible, especially after verholy/verflare. With no ver-whatever procs, it'll be what... 12-14 dualcasts of jolt/impact + veraero/verthunder.

I don't use any bind keys past 5, and 5 is the absolute farthest I'll go to press a key. Anything past that if I run out of mousebinds, gets relegated to click status. And anything on 5 is so far from mission critical I don't really need it beyond it being there. So I keep. 1-3 for DPS rotation, 4 and 5 hate combo. CTRL + 1-5 additional attacks. CTRL 2 has been my stun hotkey for games for over 10 years so I keep that there. ALT + 1-5 AE abilities and triggers/spenders. SHIFT + 1-5 for random bullshit, not used much except storing Ninja mutras. and Tilde, ALT Tilde, CTRL Tilde and `SHIFT Tilde for easy to fire off buffs in rapid succession. I try to make all classes keybinds as similar as possible. Some are harder than others, like I just don't get Dragoon at all. For Ninja I put all my mutras on recorded G Keys and let the keyboard do the work. Haven't been hosed over by lag that I remember. I could use QWERTYASDF for abilities I guess, but I don't like it despite only moving with mouse.

YMMV. I haven't used 6+ in a game in over a decade and keyboards have more than enough G keys on the left side nowadays to even worry about it. I do miss my old Logitech G15 keyboard tho. That thing was super comfy. I tried a Logitech Orion Spark but that thing was a giant piece of uncomfortable poo poo. Plus I was starting to get no end of bullshit problems with logitech's software. Now I just roll with a Corsair K55.
