I'm a master carbineer, usually - well, always - using laser carbine. I hunt gurks, never PVP. So after the publish I'm doing this:


F6 is burst1, Shift F6 is burst 2.

F7 Is actionshot1, SHIFT F7, actionshot2.

F8 is FullAutoSingle2, Shift F8 is FullAutoArea2.

F9 is chafgeshot1, Shift F9 is chargeshot 2.

F10 is Crippleshot, shift F10 is threaten shot.


SO! For the most part, my toolbar shots are single attacks, unless I hit SHIFT, then they are AOE shots. I tend to spam specials as long as I'm not about to keel over dead. (After Publish 7)


Any thoughts?

i have been using 2-3 specials macros so far, but i think i will be heading your way after Pub7...


So my word is it sounds like a good way to start to make em toolbars then

Don't forget wildShot series. Also make a macro that'll do chargeShot/wildShot/actionShot. And make one to spam crippleshot (my preference is 5 times).

Yes i need more toolbar room hehe and thats a good thing : )



But why make a macro spaming one special five times? or is that for pve...If you have more than 3 specials qued up in pvp your doing it wrong you need to choose your shots more carfully.

being a Master Doctor, my toolbar is dominated by medicines, but here goes


F1- Ranged Stim S/F1- Cure Stun


F2- ActionShot S/F2- Cure Dizzy


F3- LegShot2S/F3- FirstAid


F4- BurstShot1S/F4- Rez Pack


F5- ChargeShot S/F5- Cure Poison


F6- ScatterShot1 S/F6- Cure Disease


F7- CrippleShotS/F7- /yell Macro "HOLD BLOODY STILL SO I CAN HEAL YOU"


F8- Stim D S/F8- /peace


F9- Stim DS/F9- /aim


F10- Stim E S/F10- Warning Shot


F11- FAS2 S/F11- Quick Armor Macro


F12- /mountS/F12- /dismount



after the patch i'll be up to 4-3-1-3 or so, so I'll make the obvious Scatter/FAAchanges, and I'll be dropping my Nov CM so my F1 will be opening up

cripplespam and burstspam are for pve, yeah.

i have the posture commands hotkeyed, so it's basically like this:


(FPS key layout, on top of custom modifications)

Toolbar pane switch: F1thru F6

Toolbar buttons: 1 thru 0 also - and = keys


F9: Stand (made a macro that only does /stand, andhotkeyed)


F10: Kneel


F11: Sit


F12: /healdamage self

Backslash: /stopfollow;/dismount

' (apostrophe): /mount (i just go to the speeder, select it, and hit ' )

Space: /earthtime (handy timing shuttle waits and generally a good thing)


Q: target self

F: next target

TAB: minimap

X: examine target

Alt-L: /loot

[ and ]: target history prev/next

PAUSE: /notepad (very handy)

T: start chat (quake habit)


My main toolbar's a little messed up with 5 different carbines, a "healdamage" button, lots of attack types, some attack macros, etc. My other toolbar's the food toolbar. And a third toolbar that i have wound packs on.



I also had harvest hide/bone/meat macros but recentlyI took them off my main toolbar.


Also don't forget about the pet macros, that do /tellpet to every pet i own (currently just a carrion spat, and i'm not even using it)

Ctrl-C: tell the pet(s) to follow me


Ctrl-F: ... follow target


Ctrl-Y: ... stay


Ctrl-T: ... trick1


Ctrl-R: ... trick2

Ctrl-S: ... store

Ctrl-A: ... attack

(in fps layout, datapad is p, char sheet is o, mail is e, planetary map is v. very handy)


Anyway, that's all. andi think i'm the shortcut god

Am I the only one that thinks /sit and /kneel are kinda worthless when it comes to pvp? There are so many more things that are more useful to place in the toolbar than /sit and /kneel i.e. food & spice.

Nope you're not the only one. I haven't had those on my toolbar since the first week I got the game....about 5 months now if I can recall properly lol.

I had the same type of setup for a while, with single attacks on top and area attacks on the bottom. I liked it but needed more room so I redid everything recently. I'm not a big fan of shift+ in combat, so my attack toolbars are empty at the bottom.


Toolbar 1 - carbine specials


Toolbar 2 - pikeman specials


Toolbar 3 - guns / pikes on top, armor on bottom


Toolbar 4 - food/spice/drinks

I got lucky, early in the game I changed my mouse-mode button from 'alt' to the windows key, and the mouse wheel button. What's the benefit? I can now use the alt key for hot keys and macro's. I actually remapped a lot of the keys to be similar what my previous long term game used. Diablo II.
So I have:


alt-b= backpack(inventory)
alt-s = skills
alt-c = character sheet
alt-m = local map
alt-d = datapad
alt-e = email
alt-p = community


The bonus was, I can use ctrl for command related functions rather than interface related:


ctrl-x = cut
ctrl-c = copy
ctrl-v = paste
ctrl-o = options


And since I use them so often I threw several other commands in there:


crtl-a =/tellpetkill
ctrl-s = /tellpet stay
ctrl-d = /tellpet guard (defend)
ctrl-f = /tellpet follow me
ctrl-q = /tellpet follow other
ctrl-w = /tellpet wedge
ctrl-m = harvest meat
ctrl-, = harvest hide
ctrl-. = harvest bone

I just realized I could use alt-F# for a whole next row of hot keys too. My SWG interface is worse than most flight sims. I recommend petitioning the devs to once again allow changing the mouse mode key, I tried it on another server and it wouldn't work. I also tried going to modeless for a while but I'd start typing and all these windows would pop up it was ugly.


Anyway here's my current setup for my hotkeys, I'll probably change them shortly though needing more room for combatspecials:


F1 = Enhanced E11
F2 = EE3
F3 = rescue
F4 = chargeshot1
F5 = cripplingshot
F6 = actionshot1
F7 = legshot2
F8 = fullautosingle2
F9 = scattershot2
F10 = maskscent
F11 = reserved for secondary trap
F12 = reserved for primary trap


SF1 = DXR6
SF2 = Laser Carbine
SF3 = aim
SF4 = assist
SF5 = reserved for secondary food
SF6 = reserved forprimary food
SF7 = crafting station
SF8 = fullautoarea2
SF9 = forage
SF10 = conceal
SF11 = areatrack
SF12 = pet stims


How do you posture change you ask?


keypad / = stand
keypad * = kneel
keypad - = sit
keypad + = prone


I'll likely move these around a bit, but I use all the arrow and home thru page up keys for navigating the text area. But if you can make it happen I highly recommend changing the mouse mode key, it's just such a waste of a whole set of command keys to use alt for it.
