Blackmage Keybind suggestion?

[Souljacker]

Aw, this is not what I was hoping for in this thread. I was about to post my own looking for suggestions on what others are doing for the 60 rotation - which compared to 2.0 feels clunky and I just can't get the hang of it.

Ah well.

I am not in front of my pc that has my keybinds, but I will suggest getting yourself a Naga or a G600. It has a numberpad on the side and what I did was stack 4 bars on each other and then bind the keys on both sides in a numberpad shape (with the middle open where my character stands) to correspond to the thumbpad on the mouse on one side. It freed up my left hand for binding a lengthwise bar for the F keys (or on a G510 the G keys) and so now both hands can spam all over the place. I'll post a pic when I get back to my gaming machine.

So for the sake of leveling should I just put a macro for Ice 3 / Ice 1 as one skill for the sake of possible lower level runs? Freeze I admit seems to be a PVP only skill.

And as an answer to this question the only thing you should macro is something to remap your hotbars for low level. I have one for the 50 rotation, one for the 60 rotation , and one for PvP

Open a macro and put in as many maps as you need

/merror off
/hotbar Action "MySpell" BarNumber BarSlot
....
/hotbar Remove BarNumber BarSlot


So as an Example I would have

/merror off
/hotbar Action "Thunder" 1 10
/hotbar Action "Fire III" 1 11
/hotbar Action "Fire" 1 12
/hotbar Remove 2 10
/hotbar Remove 2 11
/hotbar Remove 2 12


Obviously not a full rotation but just as an idea what to do to write buttons and remove other ones that aren't usable in the content. And then this way you aren't trying to cheese it by putting a lower spell under a higher one in a macro and losing dps. This also helps keep your muscle memory intact if you place your used buttons in the same locations per each rotation. When you play a lot of different jobs that gets to be important.
