d2 hotkeys

Psst.. this is the war3 forum.

Zagggon...You still don't realize that we are all off-topic?

Anyway, I'm talking about Legit dueling here. If you want to brag about how you use hexes, or use whites to beat sorc, then go ahead. Without using hotkeys in legit dueling however, will give you disadvantage.

If you are fightning someone who's equally skilled, with equal equipment, hotkey users will kill an non-hotkey using person. How? When he's changing skill using mouse? If you underestimate what your opponent can do in that 1-2 second, you will lose.

You do realize that when you are changing skill with mouse, you can't attack, right? Which means no leeching life for 1 sec. In most cases, you will be dead, or half your hp will be gone when you're done changing skills.

Using hotkey > not using hotkey. It's not an opinion, rather a fact.

I use my scrolly ball to change skills which is even faster so I pwn you all..

Actually I don't play anymore, and if I did you'd still pwn me..

The scroll ball only select skills which are hotkeyed, so without setting up hotkeys (F1, F2, F3 etc) the skills won't be selected. Therefore, setting up hotkey is still very important.

Nobody said anything about setting up a hotkey, just using them.

"i win just fine by clicking"

I assume that would mean no setting up of hotkeys nor scrolling. I might be mistaken though, I can't fully understand that person.

That's it...


Now discuss d2 hotkeys all you want

Good job.

Thanks Xenn!

Sen.. you8 ask what the point of this thread is and put him down about how its pointless and him not saying how to use hk's... but this bother me cause you make the thread...? confused? yes..ktnx

Oh, no I didn't make the thread.
Zagggon made it on the Warcraft3 strat. forum, just saying how he doesn't use hotkey in War3, and any Blizzard game.

Then I just got it off-topic by asking "Diablo2 as well" etc. Xenn saw it and split the thread, hence the "thanks Xenn" post above you.

It is my fault for throwing it off-topic, but I don't see how it belongs to strat. forum either.

Sorry if I have bothered you...

I wanted to ask this for a while and now this thread is up,
can I ask what buttons u ppl use for hotkeys ?

because i think the f1, f2 etc. are pretty crappy places to quickly acces for the use of hotkeys

i use shift, ctrl, z, x, c

I usually use F1, F2, F3 etc for skill on the Left Side, and F8, F7, F6, F5 for the Right. For instance, I set Paladin's Aura...say, Convict on F6, Fana on F5, HS on F8.

And for Baba, I set BC on F8, Bo on F7, Shout on F6.

You did come up with a good point though, say if someone just plays without pressing shift, he will definitly be put into range disadvantages.
