How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Thendiel]

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?

Yes, I have binds for all of my skills. Clicking them individually would be tremendously difficult.

Personally, I use a Razer Orbweaver 25-button keypad with a 13-button Redragon Perdition M901 mouse. I find that they are both very helpful. With them, I have just enough room for all of my skills. One intelligent alternate approach I've heard of for PC users is to use a mouse with 3+ buttons, then bind SHIFT, ALT, and CTRL to different mouse keys so that you can quickly access different layers of skill sets on your keyboard.

Yeah, I tried that. It left me standing in goop a little too often, reaching for thumb buttons, rather than maintaining a solid grip for movement. It also put a lot more strain across the top of my wrist that I'd like, aggravating the arthritis.

I've figured for a while now that it was time to drop the class, (two main chains, so many weaves, so much mandatory movement,) but I'm guessing this and the inclusion of the 4th tiers cements it for me. I wish they'd use something more akin to the UI system in NCSoft games, where the skills in a chain automatically progress on the same button, if they're an auto proc. Insisting on so many mandatory binds for an already positional DPS is a bit much, when the tanks can play optimally on half the number of keys, and don't need to move anywhere near as much to begin with.

Ah well, thanks for the advice. At least the loladin is in a good place right now.
