That would be horrendous for chasing, and I'm told the problem for warriors is holding people down. Maybe I'll just stick to the 2 - 3 letter alias system I used in Imperian for most of my attacks. Hmm.
Rather hard when you have 10-30 attack aliases

Urgh, you should have seen the long scripts I had as an Idra. Printed out they might extend to a page long just for one combo
. So glad I'm playing much less coding intensive classes there now. Anyways..I'm sitll not sure how I'm going to do this. I have F5 through F12 free. I have them set for my slash commands, and my numpad set for strikes right now. I guess I can use that until I figure something else out.
I used the keypad for the jabs and keep the swings with the Fs.. it's easier to stack wounds with jabs and use the swings(that are not as reliable) for achieving your desired wound affliction

Numpad isn't the only way to do it. Apparently lots of people don't use it so that's evidence in itself To be honest it never occurred to me to use it. I base mine off of what body part I'm trying to hit and my system just determines which attack that requires.
So I have aliases for targetting the various body parts. Then I have two aliases for whether I want to swing or whether I want to jab. And a final for whether I want to lunge. So say I want to try to pin leg someone's left leg. I target the left leg than do the alias for jabbing or lunging. Haven't had any problems yet.
In the end it boils down to what you're more comfortable with. I hate macros so I never use them. I always feel like I'm playing WoW and mashing buttons. Don't set up a system that you're not comfortable with, regardless of what everyone else is doing. You'll just change it.

That seems kind of odd to me - you always hit the same body part with both swords? I always tried to mix it up on my warrior. Not that I was experienced at all, but it seemed the best way to get around stance/parry, to hit two different locations with each combo. Do you guess which bodypart they are stance/parrying, and just combo at another location?
I tried hitting different body parts with each sword for awhile but it was just too slow to get any sort of good wounding going. Yeah, they might not be parrying that part but they can cure up any wound you give with just one weapon pretty quickly.
You can usually use a good rule of thumb that after you hit any body part two times, someone is going to start parrying it. Though it really depends on your opponent as well. Some people never move a parry off of their head. Some never move their stance. Some move them both based on where they're hurt the most rather than where they're getting hit. I try to use the first few rounds to determine what kind of defense they're using and then go from there.
But that's besides the point really. When I was hitting different parts with each sword, I would just set up my targetting alias differently since the targetting alias sets up and drives the actual hitting one. So instead of just targetting left leg, target left leg and right leg or chest and gut or head and left arm. Whatever you feel like, the mechanics stay the same.
But you did give me a good idea! Thanks

Thanks for the help so far guys. I've been plotting how to do this all day and I think I have some ideas.
I think for now I'll stick with numpad jabs + clickbuttons in zMUD for my swings. I'll find a better way to do swings later, when it's more of a concern.
