To many abilities - piano playing must be reduced...

what about
focus target keys?
enemy/group/friendly targetting keys
and there is more.
With me being a gunslinger i have a cover bar, so thats 5 x 12 = 60.

that is more than 48, cheers tho.

Maybe you should go play an FPS then.

This is a good idea that should have been introduced with the game

About macros, I find that when I have the ability to use macros I get more key bindings. For instance I start adding focus macros, mouse over macros etc... etc...

For me it gets way more complicated. Not to mention you need to be really careful about allowing a game to cast moves for you.

I think they do need to streamline the classes because the shear amount of skills a marauder/sentinel uses in combat far surpass other classes. That said I still enjoy my "piano playing" but I do feel that bw messed up by not making all classes have an equal amount of skill rotation for effective PVP combat. EZ mode classes just seem lame to me, but then again I play for the challenge not the easy win like so many others today.

It isn't a problem, you are the problem. The game takes lots of situational awareness, a knowledge of all the classes, their abilities, their damage types, and the appropriate abilities you need to use in response, i.e. a fair amount of skill which I guess is too much for you.

Go play modern warfare or the 6 ability MMO you love lol.

maybe you should shut your mouth and read the posts. they are absolutely correct. i have at least 35 keys to look at while trying to not die to sorcerers and councilors who btw are nearly invincible to begin with. Its hard enough to keep track of JUST the buttons mandatory to do a rotation (which sorcs and councilors dont have - spam 1 of their 900 CC spells then spam force lightning/rock throw till the target is dead).

it is a perfectly valid game and we dont need to change games or players just because this one needs to be worked on. take your big head elsewhere.

What MMO is that by the way? Because when I did arenas in WoW I had WAY more key bindings than I do right now due to macros.

You also need to play another game or get better.

ill have to say this again ......

Bioware have already confirmed they hate the idea of macro's that automate "ANY" type of combat and they wont be doin it, which is fair, you shouldn't have 1 button that fires multiple abilities.

Social abilities - they will possibly be adding macro support for this in the future.
