Well, I would have to say that after a certain point, Sense heading is no
longer important, however, I would never recommend that you trade out,
simply because the mental confusion in remapping *those* two keys ;) I
personally have four songs mapped on my first bank, plus forage/sense
heading. The four I keep are my group combat buff, Hymn, Selo's and
Bellow. Those are my most twistable songs, I've found. On my other banks
I have things like Run, Sit, Camp, /Corpse, and other handy dandies. If
you're wondering why those are on there, it's because I play full-screen,
and don't have the key-bank on the right side. I like the increased
visibility the full-screen model gives me. Plus it makes the game seem
more immersive.
Personally, if you already have your bank set up in a way that works, then
don't bother with the /assist key - just remember /ass - and you'll be fine.
