Gui / Hotkey Advice

[FAPhoenix]

A couple questions on setting up well for PvP, and how many hot keys people legitimately use.

For me I really only use hot keys 1,2,3 off keyboard, and 2 spells tagged to my mouse macros. How many hot keys do you good PvPers really hit from keyboard? Other than that ctrl+s, e to target next player, tab for self, and x for duck.

GUI is pretty much the basic, but 4 chat windows. I've seen from some screenshots some very different setups, just wondering how you setup yours and why.

get a naga razer and step up your gaming to the next level

Nostromo + naga

Everything key bound.

[Zlain]

1-6 on base bar, shift + 1-5 on second bar, ctrl + 1-4 on third bar, forward/back mouse buttons,

8 spells
2-4 abilities based on class
roughly 4 clickies
16 total hotkeys needed give or take a couple, depending on class/inventory space for clickies.

[Saludeen]

Here's a list of avialable hotkeys. Some are at the edge of the comfort zone, but use which ones are most comfortable first, then resort to others (like CTRL + 5) if necessary. Binding uncomfortable keys is still better than clicking, always. As long as you don't have to lift your hand to press it.

1-5
Shift + 1-5
QERTFGVCZB (S if you dont need to backpedal)
SHIFT + those
CTRL + all previous keys
ALT (Alt is awkward for me so I don't use it)
Mouse buttons but they may not work with EQ

You can still bind non-combat keys like inventory, reply, etc, to keys beyond reach like 0.

I click and turn with keyboard and use mouse fucking classic.

Have a page of macros for other people in the zone or for people who always attack you on sight, that can save time.

Speaking of Agatha his UI is proven to make people better.
