<P><FONT size=2>2 main taunts....1 is an AE taunt/disease mitigation debuff, 1 is a disease based DoT and Aggro over time taunt.  Through Splitpaw, you can actually get another taunt (same reuse timer as DoT taunt), but it's a straight taunt, with a 10% chance to do a double taunt.</FONT></P> <P><FONT size=2>In addition to that, we get a shield bash that does damage and has a taunt component and we have a damage shield that procs mini-taunts everytime we're hit.</FONT></P> <P><FONT size=2>Hotkeys, can't really speak for anyone else, but I've got 2.5 hotbars full...and another 3 partially full that I use on a regular basis.  The 2.5 full hotbars have all my spells/combat arts and the others have usable items (manastone, carpet, hex doll, etc).</FONT></P>

<DIV>Four bars at the bottom of my screen, and one up the left.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I keep what I term my "red lines" on one bar - basically my general damage-dealing CAs and spells - coil, vitae, smite, agony, wrath, pariah's, shield bash and kick.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I've got another line with the "blue death" - the slow dots, death march, pestilence and the bloodlines one.  This bar also has siphon might and mana seive.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Then on the other side I've got my taunts, rescue, intercede, reactive lifetap, FD and any items such as potions i might wanna use in combat.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Finally, one bar up the side for travel spells, catalogue and buffs.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Important trick I found is to keep some abilities out of the way if you don't wanna be using them by accident - yell for help, HT and the pet are examples of these.  Helps to minimise your mouse (sounds a bit disney!) movements if the stuff you use every fight is close together.</DIV>
