Punkrat oh real quick... do reserve ur name do u have to log in and make a character or is it a different method?
nice force of will playmat btw
What's that add-on mapping timer on your auto attack?
@@andrewonisko5481 Right! What a great looking add-on!
I think the discord invite might be dead
About strafe: I just hold right mouse button to turn, and when you hold it, turn buttons become strafe.
Ya I used to bind my keys like he says, but I came back to the game and realized it's totally pointless bc I'm p much always holding my RMB... now I leave A and D as turning so that when I'm auto-running, I can adjust w only one hand on either the keys or mouse.
Hey man. Your videos are apart of my daily routine preparing for work.
Looking forward to playing on your server man!
One thing I've done is shift my movement keys one to the right. That allows my pinky to get in on the keybind action. On my mage it allows me to use my pinky for (A) Ice Block and (Z) Will of the Forsaken. This is the only game I do that on so I have to remember to put my hands in the right place when I put it on the keyboard. When I come back to the game after a while off, the number of times I've Ice Blocked accidentally is astounding. Great video PRat.
M Adams most people use pinky for shift modifier only
@@Purriah Yeah. I still use it for that too. Just a playstyle thing. Like I said, this is the only game I do it in...
Thank you for the very detailed strafe kiting and camera turning tutorial!
Your vids are great. Love the IV drip of content to keep me satiated for the next two weeks.
Alright. You convinced me. After 13 years of WoW, I'm going to keybind AD to strafe.
@No you did you not pay attention to turning the camera with right-click? Much faster than keyboard turning...
@No you I mean to each their own I guess but right-click move mouse is much faster to turn and doing it his way will free up 2 to 3 easy keybinds. Tbh it took me about 30mins to get used to this, but haven't changed since WoD
i use A and D to turn instead of strafe. just right click, and the turn buttons become strafe buttons. Q and E are contextual actionbar buttons (shield bash and hamstring/disarm)
Same tbh 🤣 fml can't believe I've struggled all this time. I've always thought to myself aswell "there must be an easy way, i should google it" but then never have... 13 years of procrastination lol
@@xMaverickFPS Thats pretty much what i do.
Punkrat you have no idea how much i love dragging my ass out of bed at 7 am to find that you've uploaded for the X day in a row. Keep it up man. Quickly becoming one of my favorite classic wow content creators.
Same!
"Yo guys, Punkrat with an awesome video."
Love your stuff, man. Wish we would be playing in the same server!
Just recently started playing with the re- release again and content like this is a help getting back up to speed. Nice work and delivery ,bro. Thx
Just want to tell you that you are appreciated. You influence me to come back to classic and now I have influenced many others. The tide is endless.
Thanks for that little demonstration with your webcam on your buttons was really insightful and helpful for my new experience as a brand new warrior :)
Gordon Ramsey is all over my CZcams too, lol. Another great vid Punk!
in my old guild for threat management they used to say " if you spank it, then you tank it" and they would let you do a corpse run to help you remember to watch your threat
Trinketmenu to this day is still one of my favorite add-ons by far. It was so useful back in the day.
In the spirit of unbinding turn left/turn right, you can also unbind backpedal
That's why I did to get rid of that bad habit.
Nicholas Pfau agreed, I remember when I first unbound it in wrath it was hard to get used to so I binded one of my most important cds (howl of terror) to make me consciously fear accidentally hitting it. Till this day 'S' is my howl button lol
Damn that’s a good idea it’s a habit I’m trying to break so I’m gonna un bind and try this
This man is a machine. How many videos! We want even more. Great work
Thnx for the tip on the keyboard-strafe binding, I've played WoW on and off for 7 years approx and never thought about it.
If you hold down the right mouse button like you do anyway, A and D will make you strafe even if they're bound to turn ;) So if you're like me and can't live without turn binds, you don't have to (even though they're useless).
The only problem is with addons like vuh'do when you have click actions on a unit frame assigned to spell casts, you can't strafe and clickcast (i.e. HoTs) at the same time, but in classic, there are imho no mechanics that would require that.
i think the point is that turning the camera is not as efficient with the keys because, as you say, rmb is used a lot which is a easy way to turn camera and if you're not holding down rmb, you're probably doing something more important than to turn the camera(finding a target to heal for example). In this situation, if you need to move your character you only have W as a viable option unless you want to backpeddle if you haven't rebound your A+D key. If you're standing in fire, too close to onyxias tail or need to quickly move in the midst of targeting someone for a heal, the turn camera with A+D is the opposite of helpful. Obviously everyone needs to play the way which benefits them so nobody should dictate how you play, but personally I cannot see how turning the camera with a+d would be beneficial rather than using rmb.
@No you rofl
@No you nah. Its just an excuse for a bad habit - there is 0 reason, it is always suboptimal.
Thank you for your videos I find them very helpful and great to have in the background while I do chores around the house.
The thing about the strafe jump is I have been doing that for 15 years without changing the A and D keybinds. Q and E have always been important ability keybinds to me, I have never had anything bound to strafe left or right as holding down the right mouse button and pressing A or D results in the same thing
Came here to say this
@@lanecruiser6535 yes, but when u let go...it reverts to keyboard turning. which is bad...you want to "hover" when not mouse turning, not keyboard turn.
look at what im doing on the rogue portion of the video against the dwarves in BRD
You cannot use your mouse to target when doing this, or even see the cursor on the screen, or click some non-essential skill you can't be bothered to keybind. It's not a substitution for having strafe bound, as there is literally no situation in WoW where turning with the keyboard is better than using your mouse. You lose NOTHING by binding strafe, and lose a couple of arguably important things when using rightclick exclusively. Doing something for years doesn't mean you've been doing it correctly.
@@jonpaul6948 yes you can...thats t he point of jumping. You jump and click, if you're fast, you lose nothing, thats why you see gladiators always jumping when they play.
@@jonpaul6948 thats also why u keep your camera on never adjust
While you're unbinding turn left / turn right, you should change from WASD to ESDF for movement binds. That opens up additional easy keys for binding to the left of your movement keys.
This is what i did a lonnnng time ago.
Bro that MTG Force of will mat - respek! Awesome vids, always dig your content!
thank you for going over the keybinding skill ive been struggling with that skill :)
D jump, A jump for the rest of my day. Thanks Punkrat!
Dude that trinket tip is awesome! I ran a 29 twink rogue forever and never thought about switching trinkets like that. But I mean I was all ready OP as hell anyway. Lol.
punkrizzy! your workrate is insane bro!! great videos man keep up the good work
Mate thx for the vid's they've been a great help, I'm a total noob to WoW and I'm running a Huntard! Every time you say I know most of you guys know this about a tip well I can tell you I didn't and it usually the most valuable bit of advice for my noobish ways. Thx again.
I'm trying my damdest to master strafe-kiting. I think I'm getting it and your videos are helping a lot.
this skill is very good to learn for later on at 60 when you have to do your hunter quest for the Rok'delar and Lok'delar bow and staff. you have to kite hard hitting demons, the one in Winterspring is especially annoying asnd you kite him all around the area or along the road.
Great video, lots of very good skills to have.
Just a note, not sure if this has changed or not, but during the AV stress test as a hunter I had to wait like 5 to 10 seconds after feign death in order to get out of combat so I could drop a trap.
A video on the daily. Are you no-lifing the editing to get ready for classic launch lol? Great vids man, appreciate all your work.
I was a casual in Vinalla Wow most of this I did not know so thanks!
Great video man:) keep the amazing job up brother:D
lol i taught that wasd bind to so many of my buddies and they all loved it!
"Wait 5 Sunders" lol! So true. I would say in dungeons, it was 3 sunders =)
I strafe with the mouse. done that for 15 years. your way is easier to learn though but a tad unflexible - so kind of opposite of you :P
If you have your A and D bound to turning, you can still do it exactly how he shows. I don't understand why anyone needs to bind A and D to strafe since they already strafe when you hold right-click (which he DOES in this video).
@@PeterDB90 exactly
Because when you strafe holding right click, you are unable to use your mouse to target without letting go of it.
Nice video :) I think you explained the benefit in changing your A and D keys rather well, if people want to continue using right-click resulting in keyboard turning then let them, they are holding themselves back. Timing is everything in pvp and some classes require more binds than the next and you can't always be holding right-click to strafe if you're trying to maximise survivability and damage output as it limits how much you can move your camera around to spot incoming enemies because it will change your direction.
That split second of keyboard turning to turn your camera and initiate auto-run could be the difference for you surviving as it might alter that hunter viper stinging/slowing you or that warrior being in range to hamstring you etc.
Asspulling 😂 definitely worth a 👍 from here
Trinketmenu best addon ever, hands down!
I used it in classic till wotlk! It was awesome, hoping for a release for classic!
If I ever want to learn something new about classic or wow in general this channel helps a lot. Thanks
Keep up the good work, sir!!
MtG Force of Will mousepad, Punkrat a Nerd after my own heart
Was about to comment the same thing! Blue mage best mage
Damn, he's a god
@@wouterva2744 It's always good to spott fellow mtg enthusiasts :D (Even though green is obviously the best color ;P )
Saw someone named PunkRat in one of Meryn's mtg videos. Didn't know if it was the same person or maybe a fan.

@ 31:40
The first skill can also be used to never get dazed, as long as you are facing a mob you wont be dazed.
Good job man nice video!
Hi Punk, I enjoy your videos a lot as an original classic wow player. You offer perspectives that are different which is why I keep coming back. For future videos, could you include any addon suggestions that say/use in your videos in the description so we can find them? For example that engineering trinket management addon, I would love to use that. Thanks!
I change Q, E to be hotkeys, but I also change z, x, c, v - and then bind char panal to be shift+c while adding in ctrl+f (generally what I use for mounting), ctrl+r, shift+f, shift+r and your normal ctrl/shift # hotkeys. That generally gives me more than enough hotkeys to quickly access all my main spells / abilities. If i'm playing hunter, I make scroll up pet attack, scroll down pet follow and just change zoom to ctrl+scroll.
Last couple of weeks ive been recommanded Kitchen Nightmares from gorden ramsey watched 1 episode now im hooked and also hooked to your videos punkrat thats why youtube told you to watch some gorden ramsey lol
So, I don't understand the emphasis on jumping while kiting. I know it continues your momentum through the jump, but it's the same distance as just strafing and you can control the camera the same way without jumping.
However, you can't complete your auto attack while you're in the air.
Ya I agree. I don’t think the jumping is really needing for auto shots unless you just use it as a built in timer that happens to sync up with your bow speed. It makes a ton of sense for spell casters tho. Classic shaman move is to jump while in ghost wolf to get the speed/momentum and then as your in the air cast a totem or shock or something. So really useful for instant spells.
No, it's not required, but it's easier. The time that it takes to perform 1 jump is usually the minimum amount of time between most auto-attacks, so it's a much easier way to "measure" rather than trying to walk-strafe perfectly each time. Of course, with a slower weapon, then it you're going to have to walk-strafe regardless.
Imo it makes way easier for hunters to time the auto shot since it requires you to stand still, I feel that coming back from a jump makes your character to be still easier than stop pressing the movement key.
@@Marcelo-0000 That gap in time between your jump and your weapon swing time will vary greatly over time though.
Basically, if 1 jump takes 1.5 seconds, but your swing timer is 2.6 you either have to wait for the difference of 1.1 seconds or lose .4 seconds to do a second jump. If you run and stop though, you can time this up exactly.
One reason is to momentarily free up the finger holding the strafe button, to press something else.
cool that other people use the rebind strafe. Most of my friends just moved their hand up the keyboard which always seemed odd to me.
trinket swapping. good to know. awesome vid!
Another thing you might consider is setting strafe L/R to mouse buttons 4/5 if you have them (thumb buttons on left side of mouse).
100% mouse-based movement is nice.
1 thing: don't (always) strafe-kite while tanking in raids! Just move backwards, if you move to fast away from your healers you can easily get out of range of their heals... Example is Onyxia, you run in, draw aggro and pull Onyxia to the back of the room, everyone runs after you but healers have to stop running to heal you, if you run to fast, you can easily run out of range... Happened to me...
You really want to have back pedal available when tanking.
I have been using RDFG to walk for over 10 years now. It allows me to use my little finger on W,S,Q,A and TAB without impairing my movement, which I do with all the other fingers (if you include jump on SPACE). I see only advantages over WASD, so I really don't get why everybody uses that. I recommend trying something else, it might stick just like it did for me.
Interesting concept, but what button do you use for self-target? I've experimented with ESDF because my thumb can still slide to alt. I just tried RDFG after your comment and I find it a bit of a stretch
@@garymills390 Yeah, Ctrl is an essential keybind modifier, as is Alt for me. RDFG messes up the positioning on both of those keys, making Ctrl an impossible stretch and Alt a slightly irritating roll of the thumb under my hand. The few keys you gain from it pale in comparison to the easily hit Ctrl and Alt modified number keys, so Im gonna stick with what works.
that strafe technique just saved me, i accidentally asspulled a mob that had 2 hounds with it.
Managed to equip my shield and strafe it out just avoiding death.
Nice refresher course mate!
My favorite thing about Punkrat videos showing up in my subscriptions is hearing: *yo guys punkratwithanothervideo*
mouse button one and 2 are strafe, and i double click to run forward. None of my movement keys are on the keyboard I move only with mouse. This gives me an array of keybinds most people don't have, and it has improved quality of life for me massively. Took 1 week to get used to.
If players are still struggling to keybind but the player has an extra $80. Get an ergonomic keyboard from logitech or a gaming pad. Both give you a set amount of buttons that your left hand can take advantage of.
I'd highly recommend Roccat Tyon mouse
Used an N52 in Vanilla. Recommend the razr version.
Don't most people just hold the right mouse button and use the turn left/right keys to strafe? I've always unbound Q and E to use them for spells instead.
This, there's no reason to bind a and d to strafe when you're using your right click all the time anyway. That way you still have turning on the same keys as strafe technically.
Yup
You should just use QWE instead and use ASD for abilities
@@Jmdwolfy161 Using A and D for strafe means you can use your mouse to aim a skill/item (like engineering bombs) while moving.
Try hard mode: esdf rather than wasd :p
Great vids man
I've been playing with strafe left/right as A/D for years already on retail, with W to run forward on the fly. Q and E are keybinds for skills.
I play with a razor speed pad , so I move with a small thumb joystick to the right of the pad. It works very well when combine with a mouse .
Hey, I really enjoy your channel. I'm curious to know if you have ever done any multi-boxing (playing multiple toons at the same time). That would make an interesting video for sure. We have a multi-boxer in our guild...mains a hunter and plays 5 toons simultaneously.
Good vid. What is your auto shot timer add on?
SOLID BRO! Way to answer the call!
I use a razar tartarus, and it has a joystick which makes movement so much easier. I literally only use my thumb for jumping, running, and directional movement. The macro function on it literally allows me to reduce rotation to 2 buttons in classic and all gameplay to 7 buttons.
I got clickbaited by Gordon but i am glad.
I've always been told tab targetting is kind of scrubby? At least in PvP. Then again I've always used it and it seems to work ok for me? Then again I'm not an Arena Master or anything of that caliber.
Like the hints and tips videos! Even if I already know about some of it they are still enjoyable to watch especially with how in depth you go in some of them. Keep it up!
Hey Punkrat, is that video from Vanilla 1.12.1 or Classic 1.13.0 with Nelf Hunter at the beggining? I am curious because of addons you´re using, mainly the one that shows enemy HP.
I have been in an endless loop of Gordon Ramsey videos for weeks, glad to hear I'm not the only one😂
#showtooltip Shadow Bolt
/cast [nomodifier,target=target] Shadow Bolt
/cast [mod:alt,target=mouseover] Shadow bolt
Change the spell as needed, or alt to shift/ctrl, whichever you prefer.
This will cast shadow bolt on your target, or your mouse over target, if alt clicked. Tested on stress test.
For pet classes, you can also
#showtooltip Shadow Bolt
/petattack [nomodifier,target=target]
/petattack [mod:alt,target=mouseover]
Hey Punk,
I am seeing your Force of Will playmat on camera. Which formats are you playing? Excited for C19? Whats your relationship with magic?
good solid video. well done
lol used to have a healer that would ignore people who willingly pulled off the tanks. "You gank it, you tank it", then leave them to learn a valuable lesson.
I have three additions to the list. 1. Learn how to be prepared for a dungeon raid by bringing needed mats/pots/food etc as well as showing up to the location before hand (unless you have a lock and friends to summon you). 2. Learn to roll for loot you only need and be willing to bypass some others need more. Unless you are a hunter then need on everything. 3. Learn to CC, and not break the CC.
I would add not pulling for the tank but threat management covers that.
I think 1 is already a staple for anyone not "raiding" LFR, 2 and 3 are probably what's going to get a lot of live wow kids to quit vanilla very soon after starting.
...great vid bro!
Bind A and D. Wow good tips
are you holding the left mouse button to run forward or using the w key
Playing on an Eternal Masters: Force of Will playmat nice.
The more video like this I watch, the more I love classic and the less I want to ever play retail again.
Could you do more of these videos but gear the skills classes? I.e Most important skills for mages 😁
Keep up the good work😄
That force of will Matt thoughhhh
Ayyye fam, love you
I cant change my strafe after all these years. I tried for playing hunter but i cant change. You can strafe and jump backwards with the normal binds.
I was going to say master stutter stepping but you included it xD
I never had a issue with mouse over macros in private or retail. I didn't know you could swap trinkets while their on CD though, good to know lol
Nice video as always my dude. also when u bind strafe to A and D it renders S "backpeddle" useless, in which u can bind this close S key to something more important.
yep, S = wingclip for me
Are you saying you don't have a way to back pedal?
You really want to be able to back pedal if you're playing tank.
Regarding mouseover macros you mentioned in the end of the video. Mouseover works fine in classic. Also worked on private servers 1.12.1. I basically put all my ranged skills as mouseovers when I played on private servers. Just find it more fun and smooth. Only trouble is the lack of macro slots. Wasn't a problem on private servers because of the addon supermacro which gave you something like 30 extra slots. For classic though that addon is not going to get converted to best bet for mouseover is to just use it for a few skills otherwise you will run out of slots.
You didn’t touch on the most important part of strafe kiting it’s actually most important for melee during leveling - you get dazed, no parry, and Crit easier from behind. Strafe kiting as melee keeps you facing forward if you do it right keeping your shield block, parry and such capable of decreasing damage. You can kite mobs this way to other mobs taking the least amount of damage possible.
^Top comment right here^
Please explain to me what's the difference between having keybound strafe or not? If you have to hold right click anyway you're strafing with turn left and turn right anyway? No difference in kiting
With strafe kiting theres no need to go back and forth, just flick your camera and snap back. I do that if I have a key i want to spam on q or e.
On thing I really missed in your last video about addons and this one too is - if you list things in video please do print currently discussed one.
If you hold right mouse button you you will strafe with A and D by default. I prefer it that way as when I'm auto running I can turn my character with my left hand whilst leaving my right hand free.
My strafe is bound to my mouse. asdfqwervb are my spells with shift as modifier for all and ctrl is a modifier for asd. Movement is solely on mouse. Its super efficient for casters
What's the diff between strafe running and holding right click + a or d move key?
If you hold down your right mousebutton you strafe left and right wie a&d anyways wighout any keybinds?
for anyone who does the a/d strafe left/right, but still wants to keep the turning bound:
put turn left/right on shift-a/d
I like to strafe A & D and then I take 4 and 5 and bind Q and E and put something special like stealth or charge on Q so that it's right there at my ring finger and get that quick reaction
It also opens up my action bar to put more up there
