The more my adrenaline pumps, the harder it is for me to type fast and accurately. Therefore, having a really good alias system where I can focus on targets, get skills off, and be able to successfully flee is going to up your survivability drastically.

"qr" is a lot easier and faster to type type than "quaff return". When I'm not pking, the timing is negligible, but when I am, I couldn't type "quaff return" accurately for the life of me.

Do not use triggers, though, for anything besides highlighting/making the mud output clearer because they will more than likely get you killed. A good trigger would be "Bob has fled west **WEST**". A bad one would be "hp 20% -> flee;get return sack;quaff return".
