Hey all, I'm new to the game, and I just dinged 18 on my Monk. I've never been hardcore about min/maxing, log parsing and number crunching, so maybe that's the reason I love my monk. I seem to tear stuff up in PvE (I went Dragon monk), and PvP is decent enough when I get the drop on someone. I just have a couple of questions and no other forums to post them on, so I hope you can bear with me.

First off, are the chain attack hotkeys. Ever since I moved my UI around in game, I have not been able to do a damn thing with them. I've never been a fan of custom UIs (except the pretty classic EQ ones), so I don't want to mess with those. Is there a way to move the chain attacks around? Secondly, I just received Divine Typhoon I, and when I trained it, it immediately replaced Flying Kick II and Thousand Fists I, so now I only have one chain attack on display. I  can still drag the skills to my hotbar, but it was more convenient having them there. Is there a way to have all three chain attacks up on the chain attack-specific hotbar?

I've also just gotten enough abilities to warrant using another hotbar, so I checked the "Secondary Hotbar Left" option in interface (or whatever). Unfortunately, I can't use ctrl+1 to activate these abilities...how do I pull that off?

I also had another question about binding /assist to a key, but if the secondary hotbar question is answered, that point will become moot. Thanks guys!

All your chains should be on the reaction bar. Usually when they disappear, you can relog to get them back.

For the extra hotbars the lettering in the upper left of the button should be the shortcut for it. is cs3 would be ctrl+shift+3 and c2 would be ctrl+2.

For assist, the F key is the default bind. I don't know what the command would be for binding keys but I would also like to find out. I use the default UI.

Not entirely sure I understand your question correctly, but if you mean the reaction bar, then you should be able to move it around just like any other window and bar in the UI after unchecking the "lock interface" (or something similar, can't remember honestly) checkbox in options

This sounds like a not too uncommon bug that is usually solved by restarting the game. Some of the chains simply disappear from the reaction bar, leaving only one there. I'd say try restarting the game, and if that doesn't work try removing the reaction bar in interface options and then putting it back in afterwards.

Well you can always alter the key commands in options and find the ones that need ctrl+# and change it to whatever you like Smiley (again, not sure if that's what you meant by it, if not, please excuse me)

To my knowledge, this isn't possible at the moment, since you can only set keys to predetermined commands, such as sit, run forward, and the action bars that can be activated with a key. Thus, if you would want an assist macro to be set to, for example, G, you would have to put the macro itself in a hotbar slot and change the key bound to that particular hotbar slot to G. Hope this helps Smiley

/Edit: Oh, assist is also one of the preset commands that can se set to a key, disregard that last part Tongue

It was late, I apologize if I didn't express what I was talking about clearly enough. Thanks for your responses nonetheless.

Yes! The reaction bar! I couldn't remember what to call it  uglystupid2 . I have the lock interface box unchecked, and I can move all other aspects of the UI around, but not the reaction bar. Hrm, apparently it's an individual issue.

Under options, the secondary hotkeys are bound to "ctrl+1, ctrl+2" etc, but I can't use these keys to activate my secondary left hotbar. It seems like I got left with a UI lemon.

Thanks guys.

I use Drox UI myself.  But whichever UI you use, you can click and hold on the reaction bar button and drag it to any hotbar location.  Then in options you can set any of the buttons to any keyboard button.  At lvl 50 I have all of my attacks as "1" to "-" on my keyboard and my reaction attacks set to "q" to "t" on my keyboard.  I personally dont have any of our AoEs hotbuttoned... much too dangerous.
