Need help with Windy hotkeys/namelocking

[d00m2k]

Hey,

Could you guys post your thoughts on best keyboard layout for a Windy, especially for namelocking-telestomp?

Also, do most windies use leftclick throw or rightclick throw to telestomp? Which is more effective? (I have yet to learn either)

[DayDream]

Hm.. I don't quite remember my old windy but I think I used

All right click
A-Teleport
S-Tornado
D-Oak
F-Wolves(I would replace it with bear before duels depending on what character I duel against)
G-Ravens (Furthest because they hardly need recast)
X-Hurricane
Z-Cyclone armor

Right click nl telestomp are pretty much used for all characters with the exception of hammerdins that have to use teleport/aura on right

You don't need throw if you use right click, just lock with nado. Trying to use left click throw on a druid is a really bad habit unless you get -VERY- smooth with it.

So you use your right click to cast nados? I usually see nado on left click for druids, which I assume they use shift+left click to spam.

No, I use left click+shift. And, I can assure you, in higher-tier and faster-paced duels its flawed extra key can lead to missed namelocks and split second opportunities. It's a habit that I spent a long time trying to break.

I find right click nados on stormer better. There is no reason NOT to use right click, am I right?

just hold right mouse down and switch tele/wolves/nado/oak/whatever and only let go for an instant to namelock

I'm a bit confused:

You have Nado on left click. You have nado on right click.
You see the enemy, you use right click nado to lock onto him.
Switch to throw on right click
He teleports off screen, you switch back to teleport
Then you use Left Click + shift?

It seems that'd be hard to chain lock with. I assumed the better approach was:

Nothing on left click
A = nado, S = throw, D = teleport
You lock on enemy with nado
switch to throw
then switch to tele
then switch to nado

Which is basically lock onto him, Press S, then press D, then press A. This way the second you teleport, you can have a new namelock on right click.

[Moritz]

why switch to throw?? I dont see how this could be of any use when you could simply tap tele after some time =/

Only reason for throw could be saving mana ^_^


/e: or well, lets say I see no reason in left lcick nadoing. you can right click nado namelock and tap tele and relock again for easy chainlock =/

[stuslegend]

yea theres no reason for a windy to use a throw namelock, unless you want to have a suprise delay telestomp in which case itd be better to use unsummon
(this is all using right click)

left click is not needed, it can be on artic blast for fun

Ahh I didn't know you could do this. This does sound the best. I'm going to go try it out.
