Warshades: one Unchain Essence bind to rule them all.
I maybe wrong but if i remeber correctly a bind starts from working right most to left so it maybe why you need press it twice sometimes since it fires before it takes target first or not toggle off to use power itself at all in the correct time.
EDIT: sorry forget it I remember wrong it overwrites power executions from right to left.
Just press your Dark Extraction button, it'll target a corpse automatically.. That means you can press Unchain directly after.

I don't want to do it that way, because in a big battle if anything happens after I hit Extraction and before I hit Unchain I sometimes lose the target I intended. I can just hit Extract again, but it's faster to have one button I can hammer to get the target and power I want.|

Also, if I ever want to use Unchain BEFORE Extract when Extract happens to be up, my bind is a better way.

Don't be silly. Everyone knows that there is no such thing as a pre 50 game. It's rhetoric that was made up on the forums!

Fair enough,my fluffies are my 6 key and Unchain is my 7 key, so I usually just tap them in quick succession but to each their own. |

But yeah, I remember having a conversation (with Microcosm I think?) a while ago along the lines of the issue you're having- I think that there is only a certain amount of functions that can happen with one key press- You can use the same key fine enough, but it needs multiple presses. The conversation I'm referring to was about a double Mire bind, back when I played with forms. /bind key powexectoggleon black dwarf$$gototray 3$$powexecname black dwarf mire required me to press the key twice, once to shift and again to execute the mire. This could be a similar situation methinks.
Yea, something like that. Although the funny thing is it seems like it sometimes does it with just one keypress. Might be a missions vs outdoors thing, which would be a bug.
Also, I prefer to have Extract and Unchain on my second bar so I can how close to recharged they are when I'm in the forms.

FINALLY got this to work exactly the way I wanted after many attempts:
/bind k "powexec_toggle_off black dwarf$$powexec_toggle_off dark nova$$target_custom_near enemy defeated$$powexec_name unchain essence$$goto_tray 1"
This bind makes the K key (after putting me in human form and switching power trays if necessary) target the nearest defeated enemy and immediately activate the corpse explosion power Unchain Essence. All in one keypress.
USUALLY.
I've found that sometimes it takes a repeated keypress to get it to actually go off. Not sure what's up with that.
I am posting this because in all the threads I read, I saw many various binds that did some of this, but not one bind to do it all (in the land of Mordor where the shadows lie).
