Guild Wars 2

I am thinking something along the lines of the the cycle weapon set function in Guild Wars. Of course it can’t be exactly the same, e.g., if you want to go from fire to earth attunement, you can’t have water and air attunement recharge as well just for the sake of wanting to use earth attunement. The existing system may be fine for someone with a mouse like the Razer Naga, so they can just bind functions to buttons, but not everyone, and certainly not I, has one. So what I suggest is to have two bindable functions: one to cycle among the attunements, and another to finally select whatever attunement you ultimately cycle to. This may also be helpful for other classes with four profession mechanic slots, such as the mesmer.

Don’t bother replying if you’re just going to say, use the F1-F4 buttons, or, learn to click the profession mechanic buttons on-screen.

As someone that does have a razor naga, and does not utilize it for the attunements at all. I utilize F1-F4. Convince me the benefits of a “cycle” button.

With my play style I am never switching to the next “attunement”, I am selecting the attunement that is the best one for the situation. Basically, I am having a hard time understanding what the benefit of “Cycle Attunement” would be and your post does not go into any details about why this would be useful.

I hope this doesn’t come across as bashing you or suggesting to use F1-F4. Just, there is nothing to go by that would make this sound useful, and it sounds like it would require significantly more key presses to accomplish than what can be done with a standard mouse and keyboard.

It might also help you to bind those buttons to keys that are easier for you to use. I do have a great mouse so it isn’t much of a problem for me, but I have a few of my normal skills bound to r and t and all of my utility skills are bound to z through B (healing through elite). If you can find spots to put them or use a modifier button and some button then it might be easier for you.

Honestly though, your method sounds like a lot more work than what I suggested.

CTRL+1,2,3,4. Problem solved. This game doesn’t require many binds at all, there’s plenty of keys available.

That is not what I meant. Please read my suggestion again. The reason I suggest this is because I like the weapon swapping system of Guild Wars, where one could cycle or swap between four sets of weapons.

My solution, switch to esdf or even rdfg for movement….plenty of keys around your left hand after that.

Awesome! Thanks, I didn’t know you could bind two keys to a function.

Well, that’s why I was asking for more information bacalao. You weren’t explaining what you wanted very well. It seems the solution was a bit more simpler than I anticipated, but I’m glad to see you’ve got a solution you can utilize.

Q – Fire
E – Lightning
Shift Q – Water
Shift E – Earth

Zzzz.
