Marking with Hotkeys
Usually when going through an instance someone gets the lucky job of marking the creature mobs for kill order and cc. It is a critical job but it is repetitive and surprisingly difficult with the default UI. You have to select each creature one at a time, right click on their portrait, and then mouse through two menus to select a symbol for it. This is tolerable most of the time but it becomes a real problem for mobs that spawn in quickly before you can mark. For example, the hallway in Mechanar leading up to Pathaleon the Calculator spawns in six mobs one after another giving you very little time to mark anything. Often confusion takes over, sheeps break, tanks run around like headless chickens, and the party wipes.
While you don’t always have time to mark them all, you do have time to mark one or two critical ones, if you use hotkeys or a mod. Mods are better for the mouse inclined and the hotkeys for keyboarders. Let’s take a look at how to setup the hotkeys.
