Hotkeys for a Brigand

[Minervian]

I've reached a point for my level 20 Brigand, named Aithra, where I've completely run out of hotkeys and mice buttons. On the one hand I realize this means I'm using too many skills (esp. active "square" skills), so I would like to ask for some advice how fellow Brigands manage their skills and hotkeys.

My current set-up is
1 - Take Down
2 - Lethal Strike
3 - Flash Bomb
4 - Study Prey
5 - Call of the Hunt
6 - Envenom Weapon
7 - Art of the Hunt
8 - Blade Honing
9/0 - potions

Left Mouse Button - Marksmanship/Calculated Strike
Right Mouse Button - Lay Trap

I have one point in Poison Bomb, a skill which I do enjoy using from time to time, but I took it out since I've got no more hotkeys, and I felt that 5 skills (1-5) to activate is more than enough in a battle.

This doesn't even take into account other actionable skills like Herbal Remedy and Throwing Knife (the latter which I've not invested in but am curious to try).

I would appreciate any advice. (And thanks to Felexitus for your guides, I've been reading them).

im using trapper spear. no bow that opens 2 more mouse buttons

weapon set 1(good one) LMB attack RMB lethal strike
weapon set 2(anything, +skills preferred) LMB take down RMB flurry of knives

if i use a bow i kick take down anyway so its marks/lethal and marks/flurry

key:
1.a - lay trap
2.s - call
3.d - study prey
4.f - flash powder
5.c - envenom
6.w - art of the hunt
7. < - blade honing
8. r - additional knives
9.q - 9 health pot
10.e - energy pot

Thanks Felexitus! That does sound good. The Brigand class needs a lot of study, and I shall continue in that path....

I'm still working on my brigand (level 17) but have a level 52 corsair (defense/rogue). One small thing about your configuration - I ended up moving lethal strike to the right mouse button instead of a hot key because I kept having the problem where I had too many regular attacks "queued" so it wouldn't perform my lethal strike (which is pretty terrible when you really need it) - I would have to wait for my character to stop attacking or walk away and try again.

1,2 HP/MP (no numero)

a,s,d,f,RMB - skills ( like diablo )

f5,f6,f7 - boost (buff / auras )

f8, teleport - ( like diablo )

Felexitus why not put calculated strike on your LMB instead of normal attack. I spent 1 point on calc strike and have +3 skills which gives me level 4. No energy cost and every 4th strike I get +108% damage and 72 pierce damage, a nice bonus at the cost of 1 skill point.
I am still struggling on my RMB between knives and lethal strike but have pretty much settled on knives as more useful in legendary

You only need one slot for perma-buffs, the others should be clickies.

Minervian why not use r and e for your potions instead of "9/0 - potions?"

Perma Buffs like Envenom Weapon and Art of the Hunt dont even need to be in your hotkeys. Just assign it to any key or mouse button, activate the skill, and then re-assign that button to another skill.

My Bow Brigand's layout:

Set 1 Bow
LMB - Marksman / RMB - Study Prey

Set 2 Kydoimos / Diemos
LMB - Lethal Strike / RMB - Warhorn*

1 - Lethal Strike
2 - Study Prey
3 - Call of the Hunt
4 - Art of the Hunt
5 - Envenom Weapon
6 - Ring of Fire**

*Kydoimos skill. Saves my butt all the time
**Helio's Fury skill. Activate, then I switch back to regular bow
