Best Binds

Here are a bunch of really good binds that I use all the time. They should be useful no matter what type of character you use


A Warshade slapping a Void. Whee!

/bind [ em smack
/bind ] em slap

This lets you hit [ and ] one after another to do a Three Stooges-esque slap back and forth across someone's face (or butt if your character is short and theirs is tall).

/bind f5 "em welcome$$team <color #ffffff><bgcolor #000000>Welcome!"

Used to welcome a new member to a team. I said it so often, I put it on a bind. For any bind that involves speaking, I make sure the color values match the chat bubble colors I chose before. Note that it's actually easier to chose these first and match the chat bubble to IT rather than the other way around.

/bind f6 "em clap$$local <color white><bgcolor yellow>Gratz!"

Tired of typing "gratz" in the middle of battle when someone Dings? Now it's just one button and includes an emote and custom colors. Note that the emote does not affect your fighting so go ahead and do it in battle

/bind f7 "em point$$local <color #ffffff><bgcolor #000000>Bring it!$$team<color #ffffff><bgcolor #000000>READY!"

I've replace the normal "thumbsup" green on black "Ready!" bind with this one. I'm so used to hitting f7 that I didn't change the key, but you get tired of the old and boring style so I made the colors match and used a different phrase and emote. I still include the standard "READY" in team chat so people don't get confused, but I at least say something different locally (usually something in character). Feel free to experiment.

/bind f8 "local <color #ffffff><bgcolor #000000>Ick! It's a $target"

Pointing out an enemy with my 'Ick' bind
Pointing out an enemy with my 'Ick' bind

The goal here is to point out to the team that there's an enemy of particular importance. Either that or something interesting or useful. Here are some examples:

  • Ick! It's a Void Slayer!
  • Ick! It's a Hostage
  • Ick! It's a Superdine Case

/bind enter "afk Whoah! I gotta think about this$$startchat"

This is that cool bind you've probably seen others do that puts a little bubble with text over their head when they're typing. The way it works is that instead of clicking on the chat window to talk, just hit the enter button. This will put you afk with your custom message while you type. Then just hit enter again to say whatever you wanted to say.

Note that this has become slightly annoying as of the recent update. Normally, if you send someone a direct message, you only hear back from them if they respond. Now there's an "auto-reply: user is afk" message that's returned to you if they're afk. Since this bind uses the AFK function, you'll get this even if they happen to be typing something.

UPDATE: Issue 8 just came out and I haven't heard yet if they fixed this…

SPECIAL MACRO!!

/macro seek "target_name ich"

The SEEK macro lights up a captive for me
The SEEK macro lights up a captive for me

This very important scouting macro must be a macro because you need to change it often and changing a macro is easily done by right-clicking it and selecting edit (much easier than binds). The way this works is it will ONLY target anything on the screen with the letters in their name that match what you put in. For this example "ich", only characters/enemies with names like "Micheal", "Michelle", etc. will be targetted.

NOW, if you're paying attention, you'll realize you can also write things like "target_name captive" for "find captive" missions, "target_name eton" for "find Detonator" missions, and "target_name quip" for "protect Lab Equipment" missions. Anyone who's played a lot (which you should have by now if you have a Kheldian), knows how frustrating it is to find certain targets sometimes. This macro helps A LOT! And when the target changes or you have a different mission, just change the macro.

Note: I put this particular macro in my Nova tray because flying around is generally the best way to look around for stuff.
