Archer Key Settings

This is a rolling archive of different Archer Key Settings, maintained by Me. Good way to check the key settings of other Archers, since a thread seems to come up every week or so. For the most part, I try and update as soon as I get keys.
Why...?

Archers have the most skills that are used on a regular basis, so sometimes it's hard to figure out where you want your keys. This thread is here to help anyone who needs to add a new skill, or even change their key settings entirely.

A few Guidelines

Very Important
If you use macros specify what each macro does. I will not accept screenshots with non-specified macros

• Although it is not mandatory, It is prefered if you say where your fingers rest. Please do not PM me your hand positions, as I will not post them if you do. If you want me to post your hand position, type them into your chat-box on the SS

• If you are able to Jumpshoot alot with that key setting, then please specify that.

• Please specify if you use a Laptop.

• Feel free to send me a new key setting if and when you change your keys, but please don't send the exact same setting twice. If the new setting is similar to an old one of yours, I'll replace the old one with your new one at request.

PM me!
It's ALOT easier to check my Inbox then it is to read all your posts, so pleasePM me and I'll add your keys.

Screen Shots ONLY
I can't put up a long list of people's settings, so please, just put in a screen shot of your keys. I'll put in your class, level, and a picture link.
Example:Level 37 XBowman
If you want, I will edit the screenshot that it only shows the keyboard settings, like in this picture
Here's a quick guide on how to get a URL for your Image:
ArcherDamageRangesThread said: "1. Go to link
2. Browse and navigate to your photo, than click open
3. Click host it
4. 4-6 urls will now appear (not 3, scroll all the way down!), pick the bottom most one and copy/past it into a PM to me. "


• Please note that some settings do not specifically say that you can jumpshoot with them. This does NOT mean it is impossible to jumpshoot with that setting. It is possible to jumpshoot with ANY key setting, as long as you have the right timing and/or keyboard. The settings marked as jumpshootable are simply ones that the poster recommended as being jumpshoot-capable.

• I will not accept 1st job key settings. There aren't nearly enough skills in that job to need key setting guidance.

Mini Guide: How to Jumpshoot

Jumpshooting is easier with certain keyboards. Depending on how easily your keyboard responds to button presses, Jumpshooting may, or may not be possible or easy. Jumpshooting, is when you press Attack and Jump at the same time, causing a minor glitch that makes both happen at once. Unlike Assasins, who attack mid-jump, Bowmen attack at the beginning of their jump, and lift off the ground while shooting.

From what I've observed:

• Laptops seem to be easier to Jumpshoot with. This may be because the keyboard is completely flat, and all keys are evenly spaced, because the keys are softer to press, or simply because the keyboard is extremely close to the CPU, so the key presses are registered faster.
• Wireless keyboards are generally considered to be harder to Jumpshoot with. Personally I am able to jumpshoot BETTER on my wireless keyboard, so I wouldn't say that's true.
• From personal observation, Ctrl, Space, Alt, and Shift are extremely sensitive keys when it comes to Jumpshooting. My key setup has Bliz on Space, and Jump on C, and oddly the only skill I can 100% JS with is Blizzard. I also noticed that when I changed Jump to Ctrl one day, I could 100% JS with every single skill I have.
• Some European keyboards have a key called "Alt-Gr". When you press AltGr, it hits both Alt and Ctrl at the same time. Should you have such a keyboard, putting Jump on Ctrl and Attack on Alt would give you a 100% Jumpshoot with AltGr. (Only works with Jump on Ctrl and Attack on Alt, so says this dude)

The original idea for this thread was not mine . Reginleif suggested it to someone unimportant who suggested it to me.

How well can you all Jumpshoot? I've decided to add that in there too.

Lol, kevvl, I don't think 1st and 2nd job ones are really necessary. Especially first. The keyboard doesn't really get crowded until 3rd.

Also, I don't think jumpshoot success is going to be accurately related w/ keyboard layout. Some people are just better at it than others and some keyboards are just more forgiving w/ timing than others. (also, I can't estimate for mine, when I'm training somewhere I need to jumpshoot frequently I just plug in my controller.)

Rather than a rate maybe you could just demarcate ones people have identified as good for JSing.

Also they should indicate if they're on a laptop keyboard or not. Laptop keyboards can have some pretty messed up layouts for End, Home, Ins, Del, Pup, Pdn. And on laptops, X is right above Alt, whereas on external keyboards they're dephased a bit.
