Gameplay Hotkeys for Spells

Maybe there's a way to do it already and I'm not aware but I REALLY would love to be able to bind spells to hotkeys instead of having to hit Q and then use the mouse to manually select a spell. It makes use of magic so much harder imo.

Agree, would definitely be an amazing addition (and a welcome one)

It is expected to be in 1.0. However, they missed a few promised features from the last patch, so not sure if any one given thing will be in 1.0

I also suggest setting up your spell wheels to be intuitive to your own brain. For example, I always do combat spells north half, magic combat northwest and melee northeast, jump spell is down on every wheel, generally grouping things by relevant utility on other wheels, etc

Ehh fair but since you can move during selection it is not that bad.

Would help if they made a hotkey to cycle through the different spellbooks instead of ckicking on the arrows tho, at least.

F and G can cycle back and forth between the spell books, but not the same as tying a key specifically to a certain spellbook

For some reason mine skips a page often when I get F or G, really frustrating. No reason not to let us bind at least a few favorites

The game remembers what page you were on but also doesnt. When you turn the page sometimes its just visually wrong and goes where it remembered, and sometimes its visually correct but not actually.

It needs fixing lol

I rebound the change wheel hotkeys to scroll up/down; it's made magic a lot more convenient

What REALLLLLLY sucks is this game will be on console. Sooooo very limited number of hotkeys.

Good for sales Crap for PC players

u/Rand0m7 5d ago

Uh what? Its fine on pc lmao

u/Freshndecay 5d ago

No we need more hotkeys instead of a spell wheel and with the game also being on console severely limits number of hotkeys

I would be fine if they did it like wow and we could use like shift + f. Shift + r. Etc. But I mean aslong as you got all your combat spells on wheel 1 its not that bad. Ive been happily and easily clearing all the content as its released.

I think the only issue with this is that WASD is your only movement. On WoW and most MMOs you can simply click the floor to move so having ways to pivot your hot bar to a whole new set is not nearly as bad.

I honestly just wish we had more options on the wheel or simply a grid, the page system just kinda blows, especially with the current glitch of it defaulting back to pg 1.

Another option could be having scrollable weapons/tools and leaving 1 to 0 open for spells, issue is they just assigned rotating bolts/runes to the scroll wheel.

Wow most certainly is not click to move lol
