How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[CookieMonsta]

How do you go about that with so many skills in the rotation now...

I map ID, DIS, CT, Phleb and Legs to F1, F2, F3, F4, F5.
TT, VT, FT, HT to 1, 2, 3, 4
Offensive CDs, BFB, IR, PS, LS to CTRL+1, 2, 3, 4 (Ctrl + 5 is too far for my small hands)
Defensive CDs, SW, Keen, Foresight, Bloodbath to SHIFT+1, 2, 3, 4. Wheeling + Fang mapped to 5+6. Jump, Spine, Dragonfire to 7, 8, 9, Geirk to 0.
BotD is mapped to Tab, Select target mapped to Tilde (next to 1)
Litany mapped to Shift+5. cuz less often used.
I press pot manually with mouse.

The idea is that I use the side of my palm to press CTRL for rapid cycling of the button layers, shift is not used very much because I'm banking on not needing to weave defensive while doing combos. BotD is separate to prevent accidental press but on tab for rapid access to double weave. The Jumps are all separated by Wheel+Fang to prevent accidental press when going thru the thrust combo.

My finger movement is similar to the piano motion, you shift your whole hand in order and vertical, no finger crossing.

While I appreciate the detail, I gave up piano because of this problem Your binds use far too much keyboard real estate for my hands to cope with. Thanks all the same.

I have relatively small hands. I use 1-6. Q, E , R, T, F, G, Z, X, C, V & B. And shift modifiers of those keys. That covers everything 'just'. I use the thumb buttons for 'target closest target' and 'cycle next target'. That's about the best it'll probably get in terms of limiting the stretching on a stock keyboard and mouse.

That's about the same as me, although I can't twist my wrist for c/v/b or 4-6 without causing myself serious pain the following day. I use CTRL and SHIFT for modifiers.
