Screenshot request: WAR hotbar

Howdy folks. Name's Mignon and I am levelling MRD at the moment.

My basic hotbar setting is to use 1-=, shift+X, alt+X and Q, E, F and Z for things that need popping on demand (provoke, brutal swing, tomahawk for MRD, Ruin II and Rouse for SCH).

As a MRD, I tried putting all my buffs on alt+X hotbar. But I can only extend as far as alt+5 before straining my fingers.

How do you keybind your skills, O Brave Warriors of Light?

Screenshots with a short explanation/algorithm would be much appreciated.

Thanks a bunch!

Most of my cooldowns/Wrath-related skills are clicked because with a 2.0-2.5s GCD I don't really have a problem manually clicking them. But, for the ones I have keybound (don't have a SS b/c PS4):

1-3: Heavy Swing -> Skull Sunder -> Butcher's Block
4: Tomahawk
5: Overpower
6: Flash
F1/F2/F3: Maim -> Storm's Eye -> Storm's Path
F: Brutal Swing
R: Provoke

Rest are the ones I click manually, though I think it's better to have your Wrath abilities keybound, just never bothered personally. IR -> Berserk -> Second Wind should be near eachother, IB -> SC -> Unchained -> Infuriate I have on my third horizontal hotbar seperate from everything else. My setup is pretty basic and wonky but it's never caused me any problems. One setup I would recommend for BB/SE/SP combo is:

Q: Heavy Swing
E: Maim
1-4: Skull Sunder / Butcher's Block / Storm's Eye / Storm's Path

I'm way too used to my current setup, but this is how I would do it if I wasn't.

Use the mighty power of G600 mouse and be forever freed of keybind problems.

Here is a screenshot of my current setup: http://puu.sh/cOVPJ/ea4bc82f95.jpg

I set up my mouse in a way that I can switch the top left bar in the screenshot with my mousewheel:

- mousewheel down switches to bar 1 (1 - Heavy Swing, 2 - Skull Sunder, 3 - Butcher's Block, 4 - Fracture)
- mousewheel up switches to bar 2 (1 - Heavy Swing, 2 - Maim, 3 - Storm's Path, 4 - Storm's Eye)
- pressing the mousewheel switches to bar 3 (1- Inner Beast, 2 - Steel Cyclone)

Other than that the second row is bound with the alt modifier, the third row uses the ctrl modifier.

Edit: Found a better screenshot.

I absolutely hate having to stretch my fingers super far so I only use the numbers 1-6 for my skills and instead make sure to utilize Q,E,R,F as well:

1-6: HS, SS, BB, Maim, SP, SE
Ctrl 1-6: Tomahawk, OP, Flash, Fracture, Awareness, Bloodbath
Shift 1-6: Berserk, Vengeance, Thrill of Battle, Internal Release, Foresight, Convalescence
QERF: Brutal Swing, Inner Beast, Unchained, Streel Cyclone
Ctrl QERF: Infuriate, Provoke, Mercy Stroke, Holmgang

For my Hotbars, I have 3 stacked for the 1-6 skills and a vertical hotbar to the side containing the QERF skills. I also bind my thumb mouse button to Ctrl to make it MUCH easier to hit the Ctrl skills.

Well comfortable keybindings are something built over a lot of practice... Everyone has their own. As you can see in the post above mine, that player uses a lot of keys that I don't use.

Just find a range of keys you are comfortable pressing and try expanding on them. =) Remember to make your most essential, core skills easy to reach/use.

Just wanted to say thanks! I'm always on the lookout for a better layout because I cant reach 7-=; using your layout I was able to map things 1-6, Alt 1-6, and Shift1-6 as well as reducing some of the clutter/chaos that was going on. :)

Now to just make the right side go down. lol

I'm a little late to the party, but I wanted to share my layout. My hotkeys are 1-7, QERTFZXC, and then once again with shift +.

Ummm....

The heavy swing is just a GCD meter for me so I know when I can queue my next move without spamming buttons.

Bars are Shift+#, #, and Ctrl+#
Big buttons on left are Shift+Q, Q, and Q
Big buttons on right are Shift+E, E, and Shift+V

small vertical bar on left is mouse, q, e and f
big vertical bar on right side to show cool downs

mercy stroke, fracture, tomahawk macrod together to take only 1 button
same with foresight and convalescence

heres my setup
hotbar 6: [1]heavy swing macro [2] skull sunder [3] butcher's block [4] over power
hotbar 9: [1]heavy swing macro [2] storms eye [3] maim [4] storms eye
hotbar 1: [1] heavy swing [2] skull sunder macro [3] maim macro [4] over power


so for example. if my main hotbar is set at hotbar1 then i [1] for normal heavy swing then [3] for maim macro, that maim macro will change my my main hotbar to hotbar9, so ill keep spamming [3] then [2] for storms eye. keep in mind my main hotbar is still set to hotbar9, so when i press [1]which is macroed heavy swing, itll bring my main hotbar back to hotbar1.

if it dont make sense i uploaded short video.

This is my set up. and is highlighted how it works to. the CTRL key is synced on my mouse's third button allowing me to move and the order of skills match to the buttons on the mouse, makes it extremely easy to adapt any class to my hotbar set up. I use a Logitech G600 MMO mouse and a G710 keyboard.
