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

This some classes have a nice easy proc to see think Merc TM gets a red ribbon around them when unload is rdy.

On assassin you get one guy hitting you....and you can't tell what just proced you have to look down and see if you got one.......

Thats not good. Also all these skills you learn should be in the tree.That way you are not stuck with skills in your hotbar that you should not be using(think this messes up some new ppl too)with the spec you are running.

i manage fine and i have way more than 35 keys to use.

I just dont get why marauders are the piano playing class and why do they have to use all keyboard. They dont realy have more abilities then others like juggernaut, assasin, sniper, operative maybe with 2-3.
I play a marauder too but its only 3X level atm. Imo marauder dont use more ability but they need to react to other players more thats why they are harder to play a bit.

Now Sorcs are OP. I'm getting a better idea of they kind of player you are.

If Sorcs are too simple then perhaps the problem is that they need to have the skill cap on their class raised, not dumbed down. The answer to MMOs is not to dumb them down. The reason they are good is because they are complicated and reward knowledge, reflexes, and resourcefulness.

Maybe YOU should read the other posts of people telling you that the kind of awareness you want comes with time and experience and that's why it's rewarding. You'll learn how to fight sorcs better if you learn more about them. Read their abilities, research their skill trees, and create a sorc alt if you're REALLY having that much of a problem with them.

The problem isn't that this game is too complicated. The problem is you're inexperienced.

I'm not trying to be egotistical here and I'm really trying to not be rude to you guys complaining about this. Why does me disagreeing with you and saying "practice more" automatically mean I'm an elitist with a big head?

When I was learning to play soccer I didn't complain to my coach that it was too hard to kick the ball and that the other players should play at a skill cap because I couldn't keep up. There wasn't a no-more-juking rule whenever I played on the field, and I certainly didn't call my soccer coach a big headed elitist when he tried to get me to practice more so I became better at the game.

Maybe you should treat this like anything else in life, a game that you get better at with experience, and stop crying like a child when things get too tough for you.

Just to give a exmp. Maul tank assassins should not have the skill maul.

I'm aware, I was simply responding to another post. Just because they won't add them doesn't mean they don't warrant discussion on a board for a game where it's a popular feature of the genre.

I personally don't really care about macros tbh. I used them in WoW mainly to assist with targeting since the tab targeting in that game (and this game) was crap. I had mouse over macros, which I would probably miss dearly if I played a healer in this game, and macros to make moves auto target myself even if I had someone else targeted. Stuff like that.

I wouldn't be against them adding heavily regulated macros here, but I don't like the idea of cast chains either.

Yeah I agree, they need to add procs to the floating combat text. I think that would help a lot of people with the whole "too many keys" thing.

The UI is pretty bare bones (which comes as a result of no UI mods) so I can definitely understand the frustrations some people have.

i wasn't getting at you

i play healer as one of my classes, i did in swg, rift and lotro (i was not a fan of WoW, i also ended up hating rift due to the fact you could be practically unstoppable with 3-5 hotkeys, that did everything :| ) we are lying to ourselves that we are intelligent, when we get a piece of software to automate keyclicks for us.

you dont need macro's, any kind of macro, you've lived that long with them, in other games, you feel like you do, but you dont.

Here is the reason why you are not bothered with piano playing... Your main abilities are all casted abilities - means you dont have to WASD while shift+hotkey pressing...
Try playing melee class with hotkeys overdose while you have to stay at your moving targets while piano playing. It is doable, but its uncomfortable as hell - and game are not ment to have uncomfortable controlls you know...

not true :|, this just shows me you really dont know what you are talking about

maybe the fact i've been using keyboards since the 80's i dont have a problem with multitasking my keys, oh and i play guitar....does that mean i have an advantage!?
cheers tho.
