I like how it's working out so far too, LVL 47, only 2 more spells from here to 50, Lustrate and Shadow Flare, and they actually will fit perfectly in this new setup. =)

(Number icon macros are fairie abilities.)

BTW - If you use

/micon "Embrace" pet

You'll be able to have the proper icons show up now. :)

This works for me, I never find myself distracted by anything, easily able to keep track of everything and still dodge any and all mechanics.

I'm sort of agreeing with Ninix on this one. Seems very very odd to me that you have things like food right there on the center of your screen, when that space could have been occupied but things like cooldowns, which would be something you would actually want to monitor during battle.

This isn't an issue of us trying to tell you, that you're a nubbin' for using the setup like this... but it would improve your game if you spent your close to center buttons on something useful.

Just my 2 cents

Wow, nice info. It even shows the CD's on the macro as well. Thank you so much. :)

This is possible due to a Logitech G600, which has 12 buttons operating as the number pad on the side, with a third button on the mouse acting as a pseudo shift. Pretty much the left side is 1-4 and the 12 buttons on the side of my mouse, while the right side is the 12 buttons with the third button. 1-4 is alt, but I usually just click it for ease. In the middle are cooldowns I keep extra track of. I also like keeping as much information as possible within a small range. I haven't had any problems seeing aoe indicators.

1-4: Basic healing spells.
Line 1: Group wide.
Line 2: Pet commands.
Line 3: Attack spells and debuffs.
Ctrl 1: Attack spells with embrace healing target's target.
Ctrl 2: Res Macros.
Ctrl 3: Rarely used but still needed on occasion.

Here's mine. I'm constantly making changes until I feel 100% comfortable with it.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but changing anything isn't going to "improve my game", I don't encounter any difficulty with any content in the game the way it is.

You can always improve your game ;) Stagnating because you think you're "good enough" only makes it harder to get in gear when a new content patch hits :)

I am not saying it is anything major, I am just saying.. the space could have been used better, and you should consider it. If you take the advice is all up to you.

Here's mine:

Tried to fit in everything relevant there, though optimally I would have been in a full party etc. so you could see the LB. Basically, I've tried to make mine include everything possible that I'd want, and more, but without any clutteredness or having too little space there, as it were. Have worked my keybinds in such a way that everything works well for me (no clicking of skills or hard to reach -binds) and that I have everything I might or might not need at hand easily. E4E, virus and Swiftcast macros are to announce the cast, don't use any other macros to play. (The ones above the markers etc. being fun/utility macros). I personally like this setup a lot (obviously), haven't changed it in ages.

Here we are ..... Keybinds are just personal preference and whats easy for my hand since i use a razor naga mouse.... party list is front and center for obvious reasons ... the vertical hotbar in the mid is there simply for easier visual for CDs
