[quote=Dinchman]I use the right alt, shift, control, and my pinkie can easily reach space for roar. Didn't even have LHC in mind by the way. I was typing that right after a nice session of killing 500 future henesys monsters. As I said, you can't even tell the difference when I only use one hand.[/quote]
Oh lol o_O I could never manage with that. I can reach all my skills with a single hand, but I can't play without a hand on skills and another on arrow keys. I can see your skill keys are closer to the arrow keys though. I can't play bunched up.
[quote=Celyfaye]@iVege: Why is MM farther than crash? D:[/quote]
I never use it. I do plan on replacing F1 with it since it's just as subtle as my F3 once I level it up (never). But then it'll feel like I'm treating it as an inferior attack comapared to Rush. Yeah.. >_>
@iVege: Why is MM farther than crash? D:
[quote=Dinchman]The thing is you only have to buff once every few minutes, not every second and a half. Buffs also have the animation that makes you pause for a while, so you can use that time to get back to the arrow keys. I really don't need both hands while playing on my dark knight. Demon slayer is a whole different situation for me though.[/quote]
so you don't move/jump alot when training? seems a bit inconvenient.
@Edit: forgot lhc. i guess one hand will do fine there. when I picture myself training, i'm using fury at mp3 or gallos or something.
[quote=Dinchman]Good luck playing with one hand. I can play with either my right or left hand no problem and you'll never even be able to tell.[/quote]
alot of people need to play with two hands. In fact, I cannot imagine playing with one hand. Even my kl;'m,./ etc. keys are too far away from my arrow keys.
As for her setup though, the placement of attacking skills and jump does irk me a bit.

Del = Stance + (decent) HB + decent bless, depends if i need HB or decent version.
D = booster + blood + iron will
V = Decent SI + Decent SE + Decent Haste.
A= Soul Rush.
so many skills, so little space xD
http://i767.photobucket.com/albums/xx312/Kratospie/Maple0051.jpg
B is Beholder.
Space is Dark Impale.
End is Crusher.
Page Down is Dragon Strength and Power Stance.
Delete is Hyper Body, Iron Will, Booster.
Not sure where I'll put Soul Rush.
here is my keyboard -> http://s1112.photobucket.com/albums/k492/Drk4life/?action=view&current=Maple0007.jpg
delete-> hyper body, ironwill, booster
home-> haste, combat orders, dragon wisdom
end-> sharp eyes, speed infusion
Uh, I'm not on right now but I think I remember most of my hotkeys:
Z: Pick Up
Ctrl: Rush
~ : Fury
Shift: Dark Impale
Alt: jump
X: Sacrifice
C: Roar
, : Macro: Dragon Blood and Something that's escaped my memory
. : Macro: Booster, Iron Will and Hyper Body
End: All Cure Potions/alternate potion/pill
Insert: Honsters
Delete: Mana Pills
PgUp: Mount, used to be known as Gluttony but they didn't let us macro them anymore
Home: Mercedes Blessing thing(an ironic pun on my part from my original merc having the skill on the home key since it was her 'home')
1-5: All, Party, Buddy, Guild, and Alliance chats respectively
6- = : Emoticons f1-7
F1-3: Chairs
F10: Messenger
F11: Quickslot
F12: Menu
My beran priest's hot key setup was similar, but much more cluttered due to party requirements to be efficient :x

[quote=Dinchman]So which one is H and which one is J?[/quote]
The J Is MapleWarrior and the H is my macro.
Although im thinking about switching my Combat Orders (8) with My macro on H
@Dinchman: Oh crap I meant H my bad.
[quote=Dinchman]How do you put four skills on one button? That's even more miraculous than @i4u2nv: 's magical [b]Z[/b].[/quote]
everyone has these magical buttons now.
pros of ssing.
[quote=i4u2nv]Correct. It's posted towards you guys.[/quote]
yay i got it correct. feels smart.
[quote=i4u2nv]I "Z" for pickup because not many people like me who always have NX cash.
Thus, that's the reason why i put "Z" as Pickup so you guys can follow. For Rush itself, i would go space.
But in my case, my space is Dragon's Roar.[/quote]
oh i see. you meant to post it as a guide or somin.
My ket settings:
Rush: A
Sacrifice: Shift
Dark Impale: Space
Jumping: Alt
Macro 1: V (In order: Haste/Dragon Blood/MapleWarrior)
Macro 2: > (In order: Booster/Iron will/HyperBody)
Macro 3: B (In order: Sharp Eyes/Power Stance/Beholden)
Macro 4: J (In order: Speed Infusion/Advanced bless/Combat Orders)
Beholden: Y
HyperBody: DEL
PowerCrash: =
Combat Orders: 8
DragonRoar: ~
Pick up: Z
Perm balrog mount: X (Will be replaced with Soul Rush)
Silver Mane: Page down.
D: Monster Magnet.
O: Stance.
J: MapleWarrior.
U: DragonBlood.
Not sure if I forgot anything.
[quote=i4u2nv]My character is funded. Both Mesos + Nxs. So normally i would have a pet. Which means the only thing i've not put for you guys to follow is the "Z" key. My "Z" key is rush.[/quote]
so when you don't have a pet z is pickup. or what. if so then where is rush. because i don't get why you put z as pickup then.
[quote=i4u2nv]My Perfect DrK Keyboard Settings that i would like to share.
Z ~ Pick Up
X ~ First Macro
C ~ Second Macro
V ~ Stance
