to the homie that told me about quick cast and displaying hotkey skills

THANK YOU. I don't remember your name, but you've made this game twice as fun and less carpal tunnely.

you're doing god's work, keep on keepin on

How did I play this game this long without knowing about this? Such a huge quality of life improvement. Thank you for spreading this.

One tip related to topic to all playing non-fire warlocks:

Put one point into

Ring of Fire.
Keep it at your "spammable bind" along others.
For example: depending on char I usually have 1-3 spammables binded under my thumb above space. I use Ring under "B".

Reason:
When you run/

Teleport into WSK throne room

Ring of Fire is very nice crowd control against dolls running at you from different angles.
Let your team kill them, while you're safe.

Obv it's not like it's obligatory but that one extra skill point into whichever hex also doesn't really matter and Ring can be very useful.
I mainly use it there, but guess it might come handy in any oter hot situation.

EDIT:
Excuse my mental shortcuts: it's of course for the knockback from

Ring of Fire, not for damage;)

Could you elaborate this for the rest of us muggles, I am fairley new to ressurected, so any tips would be great in improving game experience.

You mean elaborate on 1) main topic which is quickcast or 2) on

Ring of Fire tip?

If 1)
Here's nice video on quickcast:



If 2)
Please specify what is unclear;)

I play console, but my understanding is with normal hotkeys, you hit the hotkey, and it changes what

Key is assigned to your left or right mouse button (you know, like it did in legacy D2/LoD). With quick cast, it doesn't change the assignment; instead, it immediately uses the selected skill. It's useful for stuff like Town Portal,

Battle Orders,

Energy Shield, etc. I'm not sure if you can use it with targeted skills or not, but you definitely can for those that don't require you to select a target, like

Ring of Fire.

On console, basically every skill is quick cast, since instead of hotkeys, you have buttons that instantly use the skill in question. Targeting is automatically done based on the direction you're facing and what is in front of you.

Quick cast makes Hammerdin playable for me. I used to hate switching between

Teleport and

Concentration, and then holding shift to use hammers. Still clunky but way less clunky.

Seems to be a matter of taste or play-style. I personally hate quick cast

I was skeptical at first as well.
But I consider it huge improvement.

Especially when running Paladin it's a blessing.

You can use it for targeted skills and auto target skills. Works with

Strafe and multi shot for example. If it's a melee skill and you target nothing, you run in that direction. I can hold a keyboard

Key down to drive my

Frenzy barb around while steering with mouse. Or i can hold right click with

Frenzy and do the same.

I have not tried paladin, so I don't know what it does there - not sure if the aura on RMB toggles off if you quick cast a skill that was bound on RMB.
