Quick cast or hotkeys when getting Enigma teleport

I'm playing with an Amazon that recently got

Teleport through using Enigma.

Looking to work this into either quick cast or hotkeys somehow but haven't found anything completely comfortable yet.

How are you using quick cast or hotkeys that is an effective setup for teleporting and then attacking immediately?

Quick cast was such a nice addition!

I do have a quite simple setup.

1234 =

Belt
QWER = damage stuff
ASDF = buff stuff (F = rapid movement)
X = identify
B = townportal
V = switch weapons

If I have Enigma, then F=

Teleport, otherwise F=barbjump or F=palarush, etc.

more or less like that, sure it depends on the skills and how many I got to have.

With this setup I can have my standard gaming finger layout. Everything is quickly accessible and I could do even more spells, if needed.

When you have to multiple-cast a spell, well, just hold a

Key pressed until you're done. For example hold F as long as you want to

Teleport, otherwise press

Key or mouse button to attack

Ofc you have to change some keybindings to make space for this layout. For example I re-binded quests menu to J ("journal") and inventory to i.

Let's just call it the MMO layout for future references. :>

Having

Teleport on my right mouse click + a similar setup to the post above feels smooth.

Wait what do you guys mean?

Here are my skill bindings:

F1:

Ice Blast.
F2:

Meteor
F3:

Telekinesis
F5: Blizzard
F6:

Teleport
F7:

Static Field
F8: Town Portal

I always have F6 be

Teleport and F8 be town portal no matter what character I am playing. I also try to have my main damage dealing skill either F4 or F5.

Used to play with standard bindings for about 20 years.

When D2R came out I tried out a "standard MMO binding" like explained above and I won't ever go back

Where would you lay your buff spells, especially when getting a CTA?

Put

Teleport on quick cast i guess.
That's what i do with my hammerdin, have the

Concentration aura always on, E for quick cast

Teleport/ R for tp

@tatatat
Since d2r you can bind any spell to any

Key/button And now since last update you can use quick cast Sorry french script

I do "E" for

Teleport and mouse thumb button for my main skill. I tried using quickcast, but 20 years of d2 using hotkeys I just can't get used to it yet.

Is it possible to have a hybrid control scheme where certain skills quickcast and others work the traditional way?

People were doing this by using shortcut software like AutoHotKey with their own scripts etc. before the quick-cast patch came in.

So yes, it is definitely possible. I can't find the specific posts describing the method but hopefully someone here more knowledgeable will help you get started with that.

Edit: found the relevant topic here forums/using-macros-with-keyboard-mouse ... 67890.html @crocorinho mentioned AutoHotkey and might be able to explain better than I can...
