How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

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.

I've never suffered (though I probably will in a few years T.T) so I don't really understand your range of motion well. But my wrist only twists very slightly to reach c/v/b. 5-6 kill me though. Do you have your hand at an angle?

You could consider going to edsf as your movement keys. I've heard that can help.

One thing occurs to me - this would all be a lot easier if the game had a freelook toggle, and mouse 2 were free to be another modifier, like SHIFT or CTRL.

One thing I tried (didn't work for me); was binding mouse 4 and 5 to shift and ctrl (using a program I can't remember). And used them as my modifiers.

What I really wish is they'd let me bind my goddamn scroll wheel to something other than the camera zoom. I've always preferred that for selecting targets.

How do you go about that with so many skills in the rotation now? Do you have binds for them all, or are you clicking?

Personally I don't use gaming keyboards/mice. I just bind everything to the usual number row, then Ctrl+number, and Alt+number last. It takes a bit of dancing around but after years of playing RTS's where learning to use the different keybinds efficiently helps in managing everything I can handle it. Generally I put my non-attacking OCD's on the alt row with my gcd's and jumps and such on the bottom two. If you organize things in a logical fashion it's not so bad, but primarily you want a setup that feels comfortable and sinks into your muscle memory so you can pull off whatever you're trying to do with ease.

a friend asked me for this

for the people that absolutely must and want a macro for wheeling thrust/fang and claw to be combined into one button, use this

same concept as flaming arrow macro; it implements a slight queue system into the skill so the delay isn't as huge. you won't see it light up for fang and claw though, or vice versa

If you move your defensive or uncommonly used cool downs to another palette, you can fit your whole rotation on your bar, though you will need to use the expanded L+R and R+L most likely. When i press r1 it swaps to another palette that has invigorate,second wind, keen flurry, and second wind, blood bath, foresight.

To not confuse me, my L+R and R+L have the exact same config except one has wheeling and the other has fang and claw, so i just have to remember L+R is wheeling, and R+L is fang. I put a wheeling icon on the left side of a horizontal bar hovering above my regular hotbar. On the right side i put a fang and claw icon. Depending which lights up on proc, it reminds me which order to press my shoulder buttons to finish the combo, so left icon lights up, L+R. If fang procs the right icon, R+L. The other abilities in my expanded L+R and R+L are exactly copied so i dont fumble the order when trying to use those abilities on demand

I kinda cheat a little too but instead I use a keyboard macro that when pressed spams Wheeling Thrust and Fang and Claw once each 15 times in half a second. Works pretty well. One button for both skills and no macro delay.

i'd say we should at least have 590+ accuracy for A1S, i had 591 for the first time i cleared it and i still missed on the add (the MCH in my static got 595 acc and also missed on the adds too,)

that A1S acc cap is insane..

[Dervy]

Uh... Are you sure you actually missed, or it wasn't a case where you attacked the mob and casted a skill which executed after it died, forcing ACT to mark it as a miss?. Our Monk runs 587 Accuracy and has never missed.

[Orlandeu]

687 accuracy in A4S. Never missed yet LOL

Since we are talking about ACC. I thought I'd ask (and im not sure if this is against the posts that should follow this thread if so i apologize) if anyone else is having a hard time getting their ACC down with upgrades and what are the common pieces you should aim for esoterics? So far I went with wpn > ring > chest (tomorrow) however getting the chest means again too much ACC that I am not sure is worth taking.
