Key Availability

[TheDayIDie]

I don't have enough key slots, please introduce ALT + F1-F8 or combine AC/AMC buff into one < maybe make a spell book that isn't too rare and is like level 30 to 42 that is a combination of AC/AMC buff in one.

Seriously there is no need for a different spell for AC/AMC, they are both the same thing (nearly the same levels) and are cast straight after each other.

You don't need 16 spells for every hunt, Part "getting read" for a hunt is assigning the relevant spells for the destination.
If a location does require more than 16 spells you are unlikely to be able to perform them all/maintain them all alone, so having a 2nd or 3rd tao to split the duties with is always a good idea.

I do agree that SS and BA could and probably should be combined though.

 

[SmavidDavid]

Never needed it myself I just select skills appropriate for the hunt. Just makes playing taos even easier as people will just spam all their keys in one go!

 

[Skepta]

This aint World of warcraft, there are PLENTY enough key binding, just set your keys between pk / hunitng like smavid said.

Throw in UE and hide to that aswell... They have two separate although similar purposes. You don't actually at all times need AMC similar to AC, if you are killing a boss who hits AMC you don't need to bother casting AC. As a result of this forward thinking bingo bongo bango, a tao has one extra shot for a spell which is needed, bish bash bosh a quicker kill/efficient kill *in theory*

Should not need to keep switching my keys. Currently I have keys assigned to every slot and all much needed for 'everything', none are replaceable. Currently I am without traphexagon - not so important but would be nice to use, repulse - which is a needed spell and when I hit level 48 EnergyShield which is also very needed. I could replace EnergyShield with MassHide or Revive but it's not very ideal in the middle of a 20 mob lure to have to quickly switch up my spells to change EnergyShield to MassHide.

F1 - SFB
F2 - Curse
F3 - Healing
F4 - Poison
F5 - Puri
F6 - UE
F7 - Shin
F8 - Deva

Ctrl F1 - MassHide
Ctrl F2 - PoisonCloud
Ctrl F3 - MassHeal
Ctrl F4 - Hide
Ctrl F5 - Revive
Ctrl F6 - AC
Ctrl F7 - AMC
Ctrl F8 - Revel

Why not?
You have chosen to be a spell user class, build your spells around your hunting ground/group.

You can drop standard hide, and just cast masshuide on yourself (acts just like normal hide without the mass effect)
You can drop standard heal if you are the only tao - just use mass heal
If there are 2 taos, chose BA or SS each...
Stop crying.

I suppose Alt+F4 would be super duper invisibility skill

It would be SuperAdminHide if Sam would give me the book, also Alt+F3 would be InstantFullHPHeal

 

[Tai]

In all seriousness I don't see any downfall to implementing this?

 

[HarryH]

It drove me to insanity playing a taoist and swapping spells halfway through a cave.

 

[Silencer]

I don't mind if you want to make the life of a Tao easier, just saying it is needed.

Would it hurt to extend the available keys to F12 that would give you 8 extra keys to use?

then the functionality of F9,10,11 and 12 will need to be moved too.

 

[d1craig]

They can be moved to any number of keys on the keyboard. For example to mount up you press M. Could be B for bag. S for skills etc etc.

 

[Clintus2]

TBH i quite like the idea, as a wiz be nice to be able to use a lower tier spell to finish off a mob now and then to save MP
