Hot Key useage<-- might not b spelled right!

[Ivramire]

Since the 3 key is closest to your W and E,

'Q' and 'E'?

[unless you change it for some reason]

No, W. For walking.

I rarely used stones, even when under serious flak.

Heal is usually better since u cant exactly spam restore, but if u are soloing then heal may heal more HP than ur max, which would be quite pointless and just waste SP.

As for hotkeys, i guess anything that u are used to is fine... for me my hotkeys were: 1-attack, 2-pick up item, 3-bash, 4-heal, and 8-restore. (yes, i use 2 hands, and find it hard to get used to changes in my hotkey settings)

Heal will never heal more HP than your max (unless you're an extremely low level) - provided you're smart and actually use all levels of Heal. Lower level Heals not only save you SP, but give you more HP per SP point.

Heal is always superior. Restore is nice though, just as an extra aid.

Maybe not exactly more HP than u have, but like an 800 HP heal for someone who has about 1k HP? its quite wasteful, if u wait for ur HP to become 200 before healing urself and the monsters deal about 100 damage each, its a bit risky...

well, this is wat I do, but i guess as with anything, its all about getting use to your hotkey, so you'll be fast and efficient, wherever you put your keys

1 - Attack (i always do tab+1 to select monsters...)
2 - Pick up
3 - Heal
4 - Restore (so 3+4 goes together most of the time)
5 - Bash - Since it has a longer cooldown, i left it a bit further away as i wont be spamming it as often)

Where you put your buff is up to you really, since it doesnt get spammed....


I've also assigned my SP Stone key to ` <-- which is the key to the left of your number 1 (same key as ~ without the shift).... i dont hit that key by accident (like i do with Q and E) and its really close to your fingers!

[Vasu]

I put Heal in 4 beacuse my finger goes most naturally to that key (lol?). Restore is 3 for me. I'm two lvls away from Rejuvenate and I plan on putting that at <Shift>+4. My bash is 5, and my trip/bleed will be <Shift>+5. If that was of any help..lol. Just put Heal in your most comfy slot and the rest don't really matter.

[Villi]

hessah was pretty right, atleast the first 3, they should be the way u had it as lvl 3
because item pick up works good, but u will use tab to attack more because the item pick up gets u the closest item, not the 1 u want.
so u want 1 and tab to be close...and heal is important, but i wouldnt make it so weird to make it like attack, heal, collect because it's just dumb and to me spamming 3 works nice

Eh? Let's say somebody has 1000 HP max. If they're down to 800, use Heal 1 or 2. If they're at 550, use Heal 4 or 5. If they suddenly get a lot of enemies attacking them, throw out a much stronger Heal, maybe an Invincible, etc.

There's no problem using Heal, if you use it well. It wastes very little SP.

As for hotkeys, I use something like this:

(Default bar : Shift bar)
1. Item pick-up : Dance 2
2. Heal [my main Heal for soloing] : Dance 3
3. Bash : Dance 4
4. Invincible : Dance 5
5. Heal [1] : Protect
6. Heal [2] : Resist
7. Heal [3] : Stoneskin
8. Heal [4] : Heal [5]
9. Restore : Heal [6]
0. Auto-attack : Raccoon
-. HP potion : Auto-run
=. SP potion: Sit
Immune : Stone production
Curse : Scroll production
Revive : Shield scroll
N/A : Vitality Scroll
N/A : Mentality scroll

[Yami]

My hotkeys are like this:

1 attack
2 pick up
3 heal
4 bash
5 bleed/trip
6 endure
7 revive
8 invince
9 cure

shift 1 pot production
shift 2 stone production
shift 3 heal 5
shift 4 protect
shift 5 resist
shift 6 immune
shift 7 stoneskin
shift 8 rejuvanate
shift 9 nothing
shift 0 horsey
shift - soulja boy!
shift = dance 3
