I have no trouble switching skills between every cast, with or without also changing an aura and I use F keys. Probably would be optimal to have learned how to use letters back then but now I'm used to F keys.
Do what you are used to, and if you aren't used to anything figure out which letters you want to use.

Q shadow master
E fade
R venom
T bos
A lightning sentry
S tele
D mb
F fb
Z ph
X shockweb or kick or bs depending on the build
C cos
V kick or dclaw or bs

F5/6 bo/bc

How the hell can you use only fkeys on a trapper @@


Try

Left click fb
F1 ls
F2 tele
F3 mb
F4 kick
F5 shadow
Mousewheel up swap weapons
Mousewheel down swap weapons or bo
That leaves mouse3, mouse 4 and mouse5 open for hotkeys as well as ~ and qwer near your hand

Fade/bos shouldn't be running out unless you're playing against fucking bib

A lot of that is pretty bad reasoning, but i dont really want to get into an argument.

I will say though, there are many times you need to swap between bos / fade though. Happens all the time in team vs team where for example druid/barb die in fpk. Bos >> for tvn and tvt. Additionally, if you get golem slowed w/ fade its often better to bos inbetween setting stacks of 5 while you try to wait it out.

Also, like for real, if you don't accept that answer, i know you cant justify running at half speed in town 100% of the time lmao

Except from pala, u can stick to 1,2,3,4,5,6 as main attacks/tele/recast etc.

For hdin/telesmite u need combo keys for auras + attacks and since u r chaining with left click and throw lock, its a bit different than any other char.

For me its easier combining 1-2-3-4-5 etc with x-c-v for auras

For hdin i use the following:

1: tele >>>> v: throwlock
2: hammer >>>> x: conc aura
3: foh
4: smite
5: vigor >>>> c: charge

Mousewheel down: holy shield
Mousewheel up: oak
F1-f2-f3-f4 potions
F5-F6 bo

So that way i can differentiate between keys cos they r far appart but they r comfortable to press together (1 + v) (2 + x) (5 + c)

I use F1 and F2 for weapon swap, F3 for stats, F4 for inventory, F5 for quest, F6 for skill tree. Q, W, E, R, A, S, D, F, Z, X, C, and V for skills.
T for toggle run / walk. 1, 2, 3, and 4 for potions.

That's all I can remember off the top of my head.

If you use more than 5 hotkeys, qwer/asdf/zxcv is the best way to go. qwe/asd/zxc works too. So much more ergonomic.

Its always weird at first (esp if used to "w" weapon switch) but I guarantee once you get the hang of it, you wont go back to Fkeys

Nothing is actually faster, when they say that its all about the position of your hand on the keyboard. You may be faster yourself with a specific setup, use whatever suits you the best. GL gaming :banana:

I still find it so funny when I hear that people don't know how to assign custom keys for D2 in 2018 ;D
