Four direction keys (up, down, left, right arrows) -

Analog stick ® -
that's 14 keys, plus the FOUR or the right analog stick. you have the following things to put on a keyboard i'd guess?
Attack, Combat Step, Polearm Booster, Body Pressure (other attacks\buffs, like Drain and Combo Smash are activated after triple strike, without actual buttons needed.), Smart Knockback, Snow Charge, Maple warrior and freeze standing. that's 8. you're left with SIX\TEN keys left for pots, jump, loot and such.
UNLESS.
while reading this, i noticed you invoke combo tempest, combo smash, and combo peril the same way. are these skills are invoked with separate buttons? because i looked in youtube, and in the visible keys, there are no attack skills on the keys above the arrows. (or i'm the only one that puts all his skills up there?) can anyone clarify this?
that was my primary concern really, idk how many/if any special attacks like that need a seperate button or whether its just arrows and the normal attack button.
And I'm unlikely to use the joystick for moverment, i have a adapter for a PS2 controller so ill likely use that and the D-Pad for movement since i figure the D-Pad would be easiest to get the directional buttons correct on. Buffs i'll likely be able to toss on the keyboard or use as macros. I'm still somewhat iffy that drain elimates HP pot use completely, so 2 of the shoulder buttons will likely be pots, X(or for 360, A) will be jump, square (or x for 360) will be attack, then circle for combat step and then that leaves 2 shoulder buttons and triangle, the start/select and R3 and L3(clicking in on joystick). Loot is going to be pet.
Drain seems to need you to hit down down + skill key, according to fiel's skill tables. And buff wise its booster, body pressure, drain(has a duration), smart kb, snow charge, MW, Freeze Standing, and Combo Barrier, so thats 8 buffs. that's min of 3 macro's so likely going to be tossed on keyboard. IDK, might be too many attacks to put on controller, so I suppose it would also come down to how many of those attacks are used later on. I still don't know where i would put anything on a keyboard if i decide to not use controller, keeping attack on ctrl might not be that comfortable.
