How can it be a bad idea?
You can go and read Humle's posts, we're on the same level.

There's nothing the new Binding do, that you can't do today already. So, QQing that perks can be queued is moot, as they can be queued now.
Right..

Okay, I guess this helps you play if you're not familiar with computers, and have bricks for fingers.
Well on test, on my agent, I was able to queue up 7 perks, cast 2* nanos, and aimed shot on a single button. Everything fires off in order, and anything that can go instantly, does.
You can also bind stuff to a key that requires a perk before it can be used (as an example) and just keep re-mashing the same button, over and over, until the condition is met. So you would only ever need one button. I don't know about anyone else but this reminds me of arcade style button mashing.
A couple notes:
- If you tried to bind multiple nanos to a single key it would only cast one.
- If you tried to bind multiple specials (AS/burst/Fling/etc) to a single key it would only execute one.
- Perks queue up perfectly, in order.
- You can mix and match perks, specials, and nanos.
I'm a bit shocked that people think this wont change the game because "it was all possible before" -- clearly it wasn't. No one rolled their face over a keyboard in 0.001 seconds before. I would think anyone who claims this was all doable before either may not have the right profession, or hasn't tried it on test.
Is it game stopping? Of course not. But it does make things easier for any profession with lots of un-linked perks.
The real question: was it necessary?
I think custom bindings are great, and long overdue. But there isn't a NEED for the multiple bindings. It has potential to tip balance in some areas and just doesn't help all professions equally.

*Note: one of the nanos was Absolute Concentration, which is an odd nano. I would think this is one of the only nanos in game that could be binded and cast with another nano on the hotbar because it's 0/0 for attack/recharge. (Though the description says 0/1, I suspect it's really 0/0).

I had fast attack/brawl/dimach on 1, but maybe its different for ranged weaponry?

Dunno, fling gave me a "Wait for previous special attack to complete" when used after AS. Had AS in slot 2 on active hotbar, and fling in slot 10.

I wasn't aware that 7 perks took .001 seconds to pull off

I can see an issue if you queue you 7 perks and they all do their check in pvp before someone pops, say DoF or CiB, in the middle. Post balance, though that's a minimum of 14 seconds of attack perks queuing and I find it dubious at best to think someone is gonna get facerolled by that without popping a heal or coon or w/e.
Key binding isn't gonna make execution any faster, just more efficient. It definitely simplifies the game, but we've all seen that the devs have been moving towards that anyhow.
Could piano-roll yeah. This looks powerfull tho.
If the rebalance emphasizes active fighting it might not matter so much. We'll see.
This isn't any different than what anyone with a modern "gaming" keyboard can do/been doing.
I'm all for it.

The way I understood it it's no macro but just bindings? without a delay between the actions I don't really see how it's a problem. Shades still won't be able to queue whole perk lines with the press of a button. Docs won't be able to queue up dots with the press of buttons.
Only thing that changes is it's "1.. 1." instead of "1.. 2345." now. Not like hitting 2345 at the same time/piano rolling the keys was much more difficult.

There will be a small benefit for shades, as there are a a few perklines that can be executed simultaneously. So hitting [1] executes two dd perks of different perk lines, [2] executes the next perks in those said two perklines and so forth...
slight improvement, will help with the alpha. Now i just need to get rid of the "You have to be behind the target" crapzors :/

Given I have a keyboard and mouse both capable of binding/scripting almost anything....and I don't use either....I guess I support this for people who might want it.
This was what I was wearing. Tell me I asked for it
huh? for pvm maybe but for pvp it's not exactly beneficial to execute two lines at the same time as you want to get that alpha damage off. Most pvp shades I beleive don't even have TR perked and mixing in SP perks into your alpha will only slow down your damage.

Confirming it literally takes 5 mins to do this on a g15. Welcome to my world.
