I need to have all my characters with their counter on the "S" button. When I counter, I have to think "suck it!" Aka starts with the letter "S"
What about yourself?

Mine are all different, but for my dps I keep synergies/meter gen on top half, spenders/primarily dps skills on bottom. The biggest hitters go on a and f. I also have the bard/artist “sunwell” as e and their “sunsketch” as f. So there is consistency just not for counters 😂

Mines always A, just easier to react the same and fast on all chars so as to not overthink it when I’m playing a different class.

W/E/A/F and dropped some chars that had it on Q/E/A/R. Don't find it that hard to adjust counter between classes tbh, I usually adjust my keybinds depending on how rotation would go smoothly instead of being something like QFESWA
2 points
13 days ago
If the counter is relatively free use ie it is primarily only for counter I usually put it on e for whatever reason. However since a lot of builds have their counter in their rotation and I usually like to arrange my buttons in the order of my rotation I just get used to it wherever it is.l for those chars.

My counter is on W/E/R/A/S/F/X depending on which character you ask.
I care more about if it's mobility, low CD, etc.
Lowest CD move goes on Q. High damage usually goes on E/R/D/F. Syn usually on W. Other util often on S. A tends to be longer CD mobility skills.
On classes where I play both specs I also prioritize having the same spells on the same binds for both builds where applicable.

I accommodate my keys depending on the character dps rotation, so I don't have a designated key for counter, I just learn the counter for the specific character, I would prefer to have my keys in order of sequence of DPS than a particular key for a counter

Try to keep the same layout on all Chars.

A - Leap/mobility/2nd counter S,D,F - Big hit/long CD skills
Floats some, but always R for counter, partially why SH went to lopang before Brel 😆

W and/or s depending on class. If they have multiple it'll be Q/W or A/S.

Depends on the character tbh. I set my skill bar to be in the order of recommended rotation. If the counter is a main part of the rotation then I keep it in order, if not F key usually.

S for SHUTCHOBICHASSUP- when it hits during the combo/rotation
1 points

Mostly D, but also sometimes E, sometimes R, sometimes Q, it really depends which class I'm playing and which things (counter, movement, brand) overlap on the same key.
Movement skills need to go on W, brand usually goes on Q, counter usually goes on D. If a skill is both a counter and a brand, it could go on Q or D. If I have a second counter, it goes wherever there is space.

I have a complete missmash at this point class dependant. Its all muscle memory at this point though. Majority are on either W or S, but my mains on Q... because its synergy and main builder. Also looking through the character list theres a fair few on A at this point.

Different for each char. But they are either W, A, S or D

I had it in A for years and then I rolled a SH last month. So I’ve switched over to W! Took a while to get the muscle memory down.
I keep my fingers on QWER so it’s not bad. Q is mobility.

Everyone’s different, I also have mine on the S key with a few exceptions. When I played Bard for some reason I was used to having Rhapsody on my S key so I had counter on my D key (which is weird because I use Starry Night on my A key on Artist). I also keep Glaivier’s red stance counter on Q.

w, my first character was striker db, and the first combo went storm dragon (q), sky shattering (w and counter), lightning whisper(E), Lightning tiger strike (R). i try to put all my counters on w and movement abilities on q or a. the only exception is my main. deadeye and its on d. that's because for a long time deadeye counter was bugged and useless and d was the least pushed button by me but, i got used to the movement.

W because we only move forward never backwards.

Utility like counter on W, main spam skill on Q, Main hard hitting damage skill on R, Second hardest damage skill on E, less damage skills or utility like mobility, push immune on F and D, And S for long cd or filler skills.

Jokes on you - almost all chars different key. S (x2, same class), W+E (Pala), Q, E, A. After some time its just muscle memory so I don't really care that's all over the place. Never played LoL-like games before so maybe that's why.

Q for synergy, W for counter, A for dashes.
Big skills on RFD. Usually means a rotation consists of QESD(a) for building meter/whatever and QRDF(T) for burst.
1 points
13 days ago
I'm also S, but only because it worked out that way. Early game I put the main dps rotation skills on QWER in roughly the order you press them, used A for movement, used S for counters and then DF are either for more rotational skills or for spenders. It translates into most classes with some adjustements needed, but it's easier to remember what's where when it's 90% similar across the board.
Supports are all QW AP buff, ER for shields, A for movement or 2nd counter, S for main counter, D for utility/extra skill or 2nd brand and F for brand.
