[i8paintchipz]

I have been tryin got figure out the best casting macros for my mage... Can anyone explain how thiers is set up for PVP and any tips you can give please.

[Pirul]

Do not use casting macros for PvP.

[Lupos]

Do not use casting macros? Right... I'd be interested to hear about this too as it's been a while since I've PvPed and I would like to see how people set themselves up on this shard.

You do not want to have a set sequence for casting when facing an unpredictable adversary. You never know what he's gonna do. You can set up a monster mana dump macro of explo-eq-equip hally or whatever, that 2 greater heals and a pot will nullify, or that will get disrupted by harms and they will have you on the defensive fast.

Just my $0.02.

4 - Fireball
5 - Paralyze
6 - Explosion
7 - Ebolt
8 - Greater heal

Barbados Pennies...worthless!!

Ah, you guys mean hotkeys. Some useful info can be found here.

[i8paintchipz]

Yea i kind of want to know what keys you have set for which spell... And so you use razor for spell then last target? do you set last target before you start fighting? Healing are targeted to self?

[Pirul]

Yes, use razor for targeting. When field fighting it's hard to set last target beforehand since the fight will most likely break out by surprise, so, yeah, first target is manual, then just use razor for last target. I personally use my mouse wheel for this, up is last target, and down is target self.

Some people have attack closest blue-grey-red human, etc.

Some people use their whole keyboard, I tend to use the half I can easily reach with my left hand since that is faster for me and I don't have to take my eyes off the screen. You gotta play with it and feel comfortable with it.
