I'm wondering if and how you guys setup your hotkeys...Before 29 it was cake and now like every button I can reach on my keyboard is hotkeyed XD I still havn't gotten my fluidity back after an hour or so of practice with all the new skills. I keep playing around and switching things up and this is my current attempt:

1-4 - Rib Strike, Puncture Wound, Tackling Slash, SlipStream
Shift 1, 2 - Deep Sting, Combo I'm working on for melee mobs
Q and Shift Q - Shadow Jump, Shadow Escape
E and Shift E - Heal Pot, Mana Pot (Missing my mentous D:)
R and Shift R - Spark, Wind Shield
X - Wind Push
Macro buffs are on "`, 1"

As you can see...I'm already having trouble and missing a couple half useful skills for my bars...Anybody else having these problems? I hate reaching past 4 lmao. I feel like I have tiny hands now :'(
I shove the extra in other shifts or F,C keys for now but I don't like those a lot XD

    I used to play hybrid priest in WoW and had alot more macro's than I need as a sin. I just started playing perfect world with this expansion and don't have enough skills that I need to remap keys for macros yet so I'm not sure if ctrl and alt keys can be used as hotkey modifyers. Anyway if your having issues, theres still a few keys you didn't mention having.

    z, c, v, f, t, shift+jump and shift+ a,w,s,d. They seem pretty viable and have worked for me in the past (especially shift+space)

    its good to know that after 29 I'll have more than 3 useful skills.

    You get a massive buff at 29...It's almost overkill if you want to spam mana pots. I actually kill stuff accidentally now XD Still squishy though!
    I still haven't gotten used to all my hot keys yet...

    Can someone please explain me how do I shortcut an attack skill to Shift + 1? I can't figure how to do it. Thanks in advance.

    EDIT: Nevermind, I got it! Awesomeeeeeeeeeeee! I love this new shortcut keys :-)
    Life's too short to be wrong.

    My shift 1-4 hotkey always resets when I logout for some reason x.x My others don't...But anywho!

    There's still at least half a dozen skills I'll need within quick reach to come...There aren't even enough slots to fit all of Assassins skills + Pots and such x.x Any higher ups wanna post their setup? It'd help me a lot.

    Shift space doesn't work btw...I'd love that for speedup skills :(

    I can't ever click again XD I used to always click before Wow and to be competitive in arena when I played I had to train my Cleric to Hotkey EVERYTHING...Oh the difference it makes once you learn them all fluidly...Especially with melee classes that don't have time to pause. Guess I'll have to move some less used skills over to the extra bar and flip through pages mid fight x.x
