Carbineer Archive

here is my bar

Macros are a toolbars best friend. If you are like me and many others you will always do certain attacks together so you can combine these to a macro. I then have certain attacks on the tool bar separate if I like to spen them or use them ocassionally rather. For example, I have a pikeman macro that incorpertates cob, intimidate and some status effect/posture change moves and some regular attacks. It only takes up one tool bar slot. So you can back a few differnt utility macros for various situations and save some room on the toolbar. You may not be so lucky trying to PvP and PvE on the same tool bar though since tactics will likely vary much more in PvP.

So instead of trying to click that little bitty arrow to switch panes, or trying to find the key on the key board, i can hit one big button to get to my food pane. Then on my food pane is a big button to get me back to my specials.

Some might think this is too time consuming, but to me a less crowded toolbar is easier to manage.

Instead of putting all my food, guns, specials on one pane, I set up a macro to switch between panes. I have a pane for food and one for weapons. Then I have another pane to switch to melee attacks.

I have a similar setup.. I have pistols on one pane, carbines the next, LLC the next.. armor/clothing on another and a couple spares for random stuff...

Each weapon pane has KD in the same spot (if the weapon has it), suppression fire, warningshot, etc... and the primary attacks for each are all in the same spot.. I dont need to know what weapon I am using to get the right attack...

I have a macro on each bar in the same location that swaps to the next weapon type that I most commonly use from a given weapon (carbines switches to pistol, pistol to carbines, carbines has an extra button to go to LLC for finishing shots)... This macro also equips the weapon I default to with that type... laser carbine, scatter pistol, so one button accmoplishes the switch in specials pane and the switch in weapons..

in the same locations on each bar are the weapons I commonly use, as are food and spices.. (thakitillo, brandy, synthsteak, canape, muon, pixie, etc)... basically I have as few difference as possible just to limit confusion amongst the different weapons I have.

You are crazy to get rid of intimidate. It goes extremely well wit Carbineer. This is a class with tons of status effects you know. Perhaps you just do not know what intimidate does.

So, I may be an orginization freak, but i just don't have enough room for all of my attacks in my carbineer ' section ' . Each section is comprised of 3 weapon spots, 1 posture down spot, and the rest can have anything. I Know i need these attacks : chargeshot2, full auto single2, and suppressionfire 2. I'm alittle iffy on Crippling shot, on the count of it's horrible speed.

What are your toolbars set up like?

of course

But, i have it devided up into 3 sections, The first section, is for Food, CoB, intimidate, standing, etc etc

The next one is for my swordsman attacks, and weapons, the 3rd one is for carbineer, but since they get so many attacks, i'm having a hard time deciding which ones to put in

here is a picture for those who care
