Rets Arena Week Four

[Mosg2]

I'm interested firstly in getting my macros and such fixed before I fiddle around with specs for the DK. I'm totally into testing it out but regardless of spec I'm not going anywhere until I can fix the healing/DS-DS castsequence problem.

My suggestion would be having IWT on for example ` (key to left of 1) and dps spam stuff on 1 maybe 2 and or 3 depending on how much different stuff you want, and include /assist and /follow in your dps spam key (i do this with great success on my fresh pally team) and then have keys for bubbling/healing each character on the subsequent numbers / alt-number, i tend to find alt much more accessible than shift since my thumb can it hit it easily right next to the spacebar where it rests somewhere by the two.

I'm looking at the n52te. It was ok last time I used it but I think I didn't spend enough effort trying to get used to it.

Thanks for the feedback! In order:

1. I acknowledged that I need to work on my hardware/macro setup so that I can more easily DS/DS. Right now it's Shift+1-4 for DS/DS and that's a difficult combination. I'm trying to find another, more easily hit button for it.

2. I know I need to work on keeping my guys up. First thing when I get home is a reimagining of my keyspace so that I can use all these abilities easier--A mixed team is not simple to run for me.

3. Two games I had forgotten to hit my focus macro pre-game so everyone ran all over the place. Part of the trouble of running melee teams is that after a fear/cc or some sort your guys won't want to reassist and IWT. As I said above, I'm going to be redoing my macros/keyboard space and I think I can make reassist/IWT work better.

4. I'm seriously thinking about swapping over to Innerspace. The mousewheel on a n52te could be setup to do a two-step dps+IWT sequence and would be fast as shit. Then you'd have ALL those buttons for heals/DS/HoP etc. Hmmmm.

Edit: I really appreciate the comments Ellay!
Edit edit: I have FTL setup for follow. I'll swap it over to my alts too. That'll fix a lot of the running around issues.

Sorry I think somewhere you said you have small hands. If you do you won't be able to reach that mouse wheel and keep your hands on the arrow keys. The direction pad is way to shitty to try and drive with, you also have to be able to hit jump at the same time which is your thumb. I use the MX revolution as above and have IWT bound to the top little button it works great. I can spam it with my middle right hand finger no problems. If your not using FTL, your behind the curve for pvp. Id really be interested in seeing if any 1800+ person is using a focus based system.

Leaving focus allows you to setup better macros so you can get at least some control of your stuff.

Currently setting up ISBoxer with repeater regions and all that jazz. That alone freed up 10 or so keybinds for me. Huge. Will get back once I get a better picture of what it all looks like.

Yes, I have small girly hands. I had used the n52te before and it felt cumbersome BUT I got another one tonight to try out and it seems like I figured out how to get my hand on it comfortably. Once I get it all setup I'm going to do a complete post about it for critique/suggestions etc.

I have an example, in my IS Boxer guide, for merging IWT and your FTL DPS keys.
You make them into two step keymaps.
Step 1 - IWT
Step 2 - FTL DPS key.
Then spam your dps keys, at least twice.
You could change them to key down (step 1) and key up (step 2) if you like.

You could also do a two step keymaps for "Click to Move".
Just disable CTM, when you don't want FTL spam.
And enable when you want it.
Step 1 (disable) runs /console AutoInteract 0
Step 2 (enable) runs /console AutoInteract 1

Its not the size of the hands, but the lotion and wrist motion... wait, I dont think that's right.

thanks for posting the vids.

I was up until almost 3am setting up ISBoxer and then my UI. Currently have everyone's UI functioning the way I want including a repeater region for click healing. What's left on the plate is actually mapping out what keys do what--I decided to use the Belkin n52te gamepad after trying it out for a few hours last night. I decided that it's got too much functionality for a melee boxer to not use. I'm sold.

So now I'm off to work. My plan is to figure out what buttons do what while I'm there so when I get home I just have to hit the bindings--I have everything in place even.

Once that's done all I need to do is fix my /click dps sequence and then I'm good to go. I intend on doing a full writeup with pictures and explanations on why I'm doing things they way I am and I hope to get some solid feedback about it. Hopefully we'll have those private pvp forums by then

Sorry. Total noob here.. What is DS/DS? Two divine storms? If so, isn't there a 10s cooldown on divine storm?
