same spell in both hands hotkeys

Post » Tue Jun 12, 2012 7:48 pm

Hi

I play as mage atm. It's frustrating to press number keys twice every time I want to equip lightning or healing spells in both hands. Is there a way of assigning number keys to 2x of same spell? (for instance I press "1" and my char has lightning spell in both hands and if I press "2", he changes to heal spell in both hands)

And is there a way of assigning more hotkeys than there are so far? Maybe with Shift+

I don't think there is.

I know that on X-Box, hitting left or right hotkey twice has just become second nature to me - I don't even notice it.

Wait a minute: Even if this were possible you had to hit two keys instead of 1 key twice thus having the same amount of clicking. What's the difference?

The spells don't bother me, but I do wish you could set some right and left hand presets. The real pain is for duel wielders. You simply can't set a hotkey to equip two weapons as all weapon hotkeys automatically equip to the right hand.

yes that is lame too :/ I always have to go to my Inventory to select the left hand weapon again... and with spells - well it's just annoying to press the buttons twice in stead of making those presets. I would also love to have number 8 for Ironskin+Summon spells.. so tedious to keep changing them manually in battle every single time.. especially with a game that has so many enemies..

It's not possible, you're just going to have to deal with the added split second of pushing your hotkey twice.

They should have waited releasing the game with proper interface instead of rushing it to an "epic" date 11.11.11.

Something as minor as this was definitely not worth pushing the game back for.

It's not a significant inconvenience in the least.

I agree with everyone that your point is lame - what would be nice is if you could equip two things to the same hotkey - like switching from a bow to sword and shield with one hotkey. Almost the same thing, but not as silly.
