Hotkey and Monking 

Ok for a while I have been using 1 2 3 4 on my number pad for weapon swapping and 1-8 on the left for skill using and my mouse to click on allies to heal them. Then I read a tip saying to set 1-8 somewhere to correspond to the 1-8 party members in my team. Listen or no? If so, how the hell do I get hot keys for 20 different things?

Weapon sets are F1-F4. So you can use the number-row above the letter keys to set for party allies. I use the Number Row for the party and number-pad for skills. Works great. :)

RE: Hotkey and Monking 

fair point, but its an instinct that comes from years of fps games on PC. i use the right mouse button to look around almost constantly. i cant help it

RE: Hotkey and Monking 

just as a tip if you're ever going to play infuse or any skill that needs a hotkey, place it on either "Q" or "E". It's just very fast after a while to click the name your heading for while also using your left hand on Q or E...

You can set keys to target a specific allie? O.o I didn't knew that.. but since I have to press a button called "F-Lock" to use my F1-F12, I think clicking them is faster.

Just a caution: When weapon swapping, remember to [cancel action] before hitting the weapon swap button.
