Josuke Higashikata posted:I've been noticing with supposed high "rank" players, especially healers, that they are totally inflexible and put a lot of pressure on the other healer in a pug group situation. Is this a normal occurrence that they are just so much douchier than the average healer? So many don't adjust and let team mates die because they don't think it was their job to heal that or they would rather dps. As for the tantrum throwing, that's just typical stranger on the internet stuff.

Hommando posted:The first DPS DC'd and the SAM joined right after the first boss. The tank was pulling wall to wall which made me nervous a couple of times, but nobody ever died. Those DPS totals are low energy!   Skalla is actually really fun to pad numbers on if you're an AOE-heavy job, since you have all your tools, there's no gear sync, and tanks usually go hog wild on pulls. That's nowhere near the best DPS you could get on an entire Skalla run with RDM or SMN, even with the second boss being the most obnoxious badly-designed piece of poo poo in the entire game.

So I've gotten Scholar to 67, despite taking some time to level Warrior (which I'm enjoying quite a bit), but I feel like I've kind of hit a wall with my hotkeys. I still keep my faerie on auto, not so much because I couldn't handle a couple extra abilities, but because I literally don't have anywhere to put them. I've moved a lot of less common abilities to the hotbars on the sides, but I still have my 3 main hotbars completely full, and have to do a weird hybrid hotkey-and-mouse system to get to everything. As a result, I end up missing a lot of chances to use situational abilities, and can get confused at times (as some abilities have similar icons). Can anyone point me toward some well thought-out hotbar/hotkey setups, ideally for scholar, that can give me some starting points? e: or macros, I guess. I've never really done much with macros.

You probably do not want macros except for some specific cases. Typically only for quick target-of-target actions (excog) and sometimes Fairy actions (though I prefer not to do so). I have Broil on a mouse button because it's my most used ability. This is my setup. I bind 1-5 on shift/ctrl for in-combat binds (alt is for sprint/mount/etc), and I bind pretty much every key from 'Q' to 'T' on all three rows. You can copy the link to see the full huge image with keybinds displayed.

I use 1-6, shift 1-6, and ctrl 1-6, as well as q, e, r, f, t, and g (and shift variants thereof). The only class I’ve found that really pushes the limits of this set up is paladin, and I get around it by using cooldown macros that you’d yell at me for if I described them so I won’t Scholar fits easily within all the assigned hotkeys and I don’t have much trouble hitting my keys when I need them.

1,2,3,4,5,6,q,e,r,f,z,x,c with shift/ctrl/alt modifiers. Generally basic combos are on normal keys, OGCD/procs on shift, buffs on ctrl, and less used situational abilities on alt. Although Alt is mostly empty on most classes and has mounts/run/etc.

Mr. Nice! posted:you know you can also use your mouse pointer and click things, right? Yeah, I do that plenty; mostly, in fact. I'm just trying to shift more things to hotkeys. BTW thanks to everyone who gave suggestions. Believe it or not, I was not aware you could hotkey with Shift and Alt. I'd filled up the main hotbar and the Ctrl one and figured that was it. This will help immensely. I've never used my additional mouse buttons for anything other than web browsing, so it'll take some adjustment, but I can pick up at least another 2-3 possible hotkeys that way.

I have all my hotkeys on numpad/arrows/page down as if my keyboard is a giant controller and I just use q and e a lot for strafing. Who needs a mouse?

I’m trying to use the numpad but numlock keeps toggling at random I just bind my MMO mouse as 7-0, and with ctrl and shift as modifiers. To make it easy to memorize, Ctrl is the bottom row, shift is the middle, and non-modified is the top. Argas fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Nov 29, 2017 |

I have Numpad 1- Minus, Ctrl and Alt with Numpad, and Q, E, R, T, F, G, Z, X, C, V, 1, 2, 3 and 4 bound to my skills. Adds up to about 48 or so. Still nearly filled them up with SCH skills

I’m trying to use the numpad but numlock keeps toggling at random If you hit shift, the numpad puts through its alternate stroke instead of shift+numpad. For example, shift+numpad 1 is read by the game as End. Ctrl modifiers work though, and shift works with the buttons that aren't numbers. ... Unless you're actually hitting numlock I guess just pry that key off your keyboard.

I use a macro to switch out the hotbar actions when summoning eos/selene and garuda/ifrit respectively. It helps save 3 hotbar slots and keeps the pet actions consistent across all summons.

Bourgeoisie posted:I use a macro to switch out the hotbar actions when summoning eos/selene and garuda/ifrit respectively. It helps save 3 hotbar slots and keeps the pet actions consistent across all summons. Does each pet have a separate pet bar for the purposes of hotkeys? Can you bind the spaces on the pet bar to a key? Honest question. I had moved a few fairy abilities to hotkeys, but they've moved for new ones as I've leveled SCH. If I could just bind the pet bar, I could probably adapt reasonably enough to the different abilities.

We were just crushing an O4S. We were way ahead on DPS and still on the first pull of the instance. We're right at 30% and ahead of schedule and a healer D/Cs with allagan field and kills everyone but the tanks.

you probably shouldn't click your staples if only to avoid massive wrist fatigue, but the gcd in this game is slow enough that plenty of highly skilled players click their ogcds with zero impact on their play

I have seen some amazing players just click their skills, or a combination of both to great success. I use a hybrid of clicking and keybinds. I never use more than 1-6 and i still click those half the time. As long as you're fast, there's zero difference between a mouse click on a skill and a hotkey press in this game. I've also cleared all savage content when current minus twintania (got into my static on T8) and A8S which we cleared the next raid day after 3.4 came out. My static isn't going to try ultimate coil, which in some ways makes me sad, but also UC is insane and with our casual raid schedule we probably wouldn't clear for a long while.
