    I was wondering what the Rangers out there use for keys 1 through 12Here is my list and I'M sure there is a better combo/use.
    1= Shared Camo
    2= /autofire (hot keyed)
    3= Storm/Focus of blades
    4= Banestrike
    5= Tracking
    6= Blusterbolt spell gem
    7= Grasp of Sylvan Spirits
    8= Entrap
    9= sit
    10=Harmonious Arrow
    11= Forage
    12= Bladeswhisper Chain Vest of Journeys (that's the BP from COA) has a 5 minute recast

    By no means am I saying this is the best combo or way to do it. It's just the way things played out for me and I am sure that there is a more efficient way of setting the main hot bar up.
    Thanks for the time

    I use lots of pages. Page 2 is always stuff that won't drop invis though, for when travelling. Sucks to knock a bottle of soda over and hit a key and lose invis in the middle of raid mobs. Forage is almost always Page 2, button 2 just out of habit from when I started. I use multiple sets of buttons too. Mostly skills and emotes and AAs on button 1, with mostly AAs and discs on buttons 2 and 3, and some pages for particular events with instructions or what not. For Rng, I use mostly Ctrl+# for discs though, as there aren't more than 6 needed to be up at any one time.

    I got lots of info macros, but most of those are just in the macro window (Ctrl+M - Socials tab) and not on hot bars, except when they are new and frequently requested.

    Yther Ore.

    1 - Attack
    2 - kick, banestrike
    3 - Assist key 1
    4 - Jolting kick line
    5 - Assist key 2
    6 - ranged attack (I use autofire program for burns)
    7 - Shared Camo
    8 - agro kick
    9 - snare
    10 - taunt
    11 - Harm. Arrow
    12 - Epic 2.0

    page 2 - tracking, hott hotkeys, corpsedrag, invis, lev, rarely used discs
    page 3 - hidecorpse key, passive clickies
    page 4 - bandolier sets
    page 5 - gating keys, merc stances
    page 8 - vet AAs
    page 9 - MGB stuff
    Hotkey bar 2 - Weaponshield, main dps discs/AAs, Cover Tracks
    Bar 3 - O. Evasion, forceful rejuv, mgb spice key, secondary dps AAs, tunic click, etc
    Bar 4 - Circle of X clickies, glyphs, 7th vet AA, Staunch, Armor vet AA, raid-specific macro keys, etc

    Basically, defensives are lined up vertically on the left side of bars 2-4 (I keep all 4 bars stacked), and move rightwards on the top bar. Offensives occupy most of the middle ground, clickies to the right, and glyphs/very long reuse stuff at the top.

    Thanks for the responses folks, interesting hot bars. Gladare what is VA/GA ? and Do you tank a lot?
  6. Gladare Augur

    Volatile Arrow and Glacial Arrow. Debuff that causes your target to take increased damage from fire (volatile) and cold (glacial). I do tank a lot, but I am raid geared.

    I forgot I swapped my mount for Entropy of Nature. Edited above.
  7. Kindaaniel Journeyman

    Oh, yeah I use va/ga. What's the 1800 timer do?
  8. Kindaaniel Journeyman

    Maybe I should also mention that I'm raid geared max AA and I use all 10 hot bars. I have them shaped into squares and they run along the near bottom of my screen. This way I don't need to use for instance hot bar 2 page 3 . Pretty much everything I need is on the 1st pages of the ten hot bars think my screen is 24"
  9. Gladare Augur

    It simulates the 3 minute refresh. The hotkey is depressed and counts down like any aa on cooldown. It's like the pause command. The time is measured in tenths of a second.

    I only keep 4 hotbars up personally. About 2 pages worth of keys on each.

    Nothing that I do would ever work for you then - I touch the mouse as rarely as I possibly can, and rely on keyboard and memory for my typical actions. The mouse only comes out for clicking stuff that I'm not using constantly (and really, I should get more of that onto later hotkey pages).

    Would you mine posting those macros here so I can see how it's set up, please?
