Between MCM, MRifles and Pistoleer, [CM abilities (several), Rifle Specials (a couple), Pistol abilities(a couple), food] I have so many specials I want at my finger tips (esp. in PvP) and not enough slots. What are you all's tips for managing the 24 slots I have available to me on my tool bar?


And what MCM abilities are not so useful in PvP? I know that disease is not very helpful right now....

The best thing you can do is don't put everything on your toolbar!!! It's a good place to put some of your other stuff that you use occasionaly, but the best thing to do is set up a macro with the command or your favorite combo of commands and then tie them to a key on your keyboard. That is a lot more effective way to do it. I might be mistaken, but look in the links in badgersmaker's sig. I haven't looked there, but I think he has a guide to setting up effective macros.

Biggest tip I can give in this regards (other than looking in Badgers sig) is to learn how to bind macros to the keyboard.


That way rather than say hitting a button on the toolbar for running a command or macro you can hit ctrl-Q or whatever you want to bind it to...another one is the number pad on the keyboard...you can bind macros to those keys specifically, so you can make a macro that is simply /bactashot Self and bind it to numpad-1 so when you want to bacta shot yourself you can simply hit 1 on the numpad.
