Best Keybinds for World of Warcraft: An Optimal and Scientific Approach

- We gott all the gang together to yell at eachother about what keybinds are best until no-one was happy. A podcast style episode backed by the scientific method and JPCs unhinged piano teacher.
Follow us on Twitter: / ggwow 💛 - Hry
This spiraled so quickly into chaos. Biggest take away I got was do your keybindings however you want because everyone has different sized hands and and different sized brains
Shout-out to junkrat for the deep wisdom in this discussion. You gotta turn up the volume really high to hear it but worth tbh
Did they say anything lmao
@@colin5676 No.
A real gem. We love junkrat around these parts.
He never talks actually not even when in keys
@@nickdibiase123 this is the way
7 minutes in, this is entirely more fascinating than I was anticipating
What I learned is that having an mmo mouse was my best decision lmao
Now do a m+ key where everyone have to use these cursed keybinds!
Get everyone to do a key with JPC’s bind lmao
This needs to happen!
Ya specifically everyone playing with JPC binds has got to be the best
@@atorrance Not really. The bindings are something you get familiar with.
I feel like I need another video where you just throw out a button type like “covenant ability” and then let each person answer one-at-a-time so everyone can berate the people that have weird binds.
I absolutely love this kind of stuff. Always I retesting to hear, I think the most important take away is having all your buttons that do the same or similar things on the same binds.
I use w/a/d to move and strafe, s is my active racial ability and shift s is my covenant secondary
Tettles' reaction to this whole conversation is just.. "What have I done.."
love the content you guys are pushing out! keep it up
Tank main here and I "backpeddle" often when I need to reposition those buggy mobs that seem to come forward "through you:.
I'm always pretty surprised when people don't bind:
Shift/Ctrl + Space
Shift/Ctrl Mouse wheel up/down
That is 6 extremely easy binds to push, especially the mouse wheel.
alt + mouse wheel up/down makes 8, alt space don't work
Space is a bad keybind. Especially if theres movement and you need to jump. Like youre spamming jump and you gotta use another shift+"button" youll end up always accidently hitting shift/ctrl space.
jump for space is a waste imo. i jump with alt space, I use space for spam ability
@@dominikjors169 no, its not... specially for pvp
@@TheZipp3rr Explain
JPC: i had a crazy piano teacher that stretched my hands out
Everyone: *losing their minds*
Dorki: huh. that's cool.
Arrowkeys are awesome to bind markers to. For instance the "Up arrow" key is for marking skull, if I want to indicate a priority target.
Why would you bind something so useless there. Use a remote way to do all 8 markers from one binding. Mod macros for the win.
Everyone has their way, this was mine that I just wanted to share.
Sorry I deluded your amazing brain with such useless binding advice. I do hope you feel better now you mentioned your clearly more superior methods. I am now a more humbled peasant. Thank you for this great contribution @Rémy Boivin.
So funny to hear everyone's takes on the movement keys. As someone who used to mainly pvp I didn't have a key for moving backwards but, now that I play more pve backward movement can be useful for slight adjustments on dodging ground swirlies. I use e for forward s and f for strafing and shift d for moving backwards, saving d for another ability bind. I find having the movement keys shifted to the right opens up more keybinds.
You should make the same style video where everyone discusses buttons but for each class/spec, place each classes buttons, that way everyone can consider each classes differences.
Just want to point out, using mouse + a lets you strafe left. Mouse + a + s lets you strafe even harder left w/o starting to turn your wrist with the mouse. keeping "s" around for the backpetal is just intuitive because although niche in wow, it can be very important in other games.
The most important thing is to put off GCD buttons on easily accessible binds like mouse buttons or E, F, R. For example, when I play WW, sometimes I have to pop fort brew, karma, tiger, images, and maybe an interrupt as well, and your key binds need to enable that.
i main brew with os ww, interrupt on S for all classes. Shift F for fort brew, g karma and sef is 5
They should make a event where they have to do high mythic+ with JPCs keybinds 🤣
This is exactly the reason why I love WoW because it's fun to get really serious. It gives you tremendous amount of pleasure just by planning your keybinds. The same goes to planning my nameplates too.
Or spending way to many hours just designing the ui and making WAs
@@zpokie123 this is the way
My keybinds were almost exclusively inspired by Reckful. Z and X for strafe left and right. Leaves
SteelSeries Merc stealth, best wow keyboard ever. Scroll up and down for Main abilities, scroll wheel press for aoe, mouse forward button for CC, mouse back for dump/damage, 7 for interrupts (Merc stealth layout), dash 8. Additional binds: scroll right left, G, R, V, Function keys for cooldowns, tilda for oh shit buttons(bubble, feign death, Emerald communion etc). For healing I use mouse over click label with shift, alt control modifiers, and scroll up down. Standard movement keys, standard menu keys.
Awesome panel & discussion. But would really like to know how many of them actually use a keyboard and mouse with 3 buttons. Having entire movement on your thumb just makes things much easier.
Blows my mind that Chow is the only one that has figured out the movement with left hand builder with right hand (mouse button) meta
This is so much more fun than i could have ever imagined.
I’ve always found it really interesting the way people keybind. It shows a lot.
I’d love to watch the exact same thing with pvp players which on a keybind level is another world.
I agree, its actually pretty good insight on learning classes tbh.
movement: esdf
rotation abilities: aqwrtgvcz12345
make capslock ctrl, use ctrl and shift with pinky for healer click binds
CDs: on open rotation keys or extra mouse buttons as needed (druids...)
ctrl and shift with index finger keys (rtgv5) for CDs
This maximizes keys easily accessible near the movement keys, particularly pinky. Since pinky isn't needed for movement. Their scorn for esdf movement is funny; it's better in every way. Most keyboards even have a bump on f, making it easier to find.
I've always put my spam button on 2 because it feels more natural to my hand, fireball, frostbolt, then spenders on 1, pyroblast, flurry. Instants on 3, ice lance, fire blast.
The Charlie Day image for Growl was perfect
Kick = F, Tranq / sooth (Shift-F)
Taunt on E (while tanking, otherwise its a clickable somewhere on a bar),
Q is the rotational button that is only pressed once every 10 / 15 sec (Purifying brew),
R is always bound to some type of frontal aoe skill like Firebreath or Typhoon
For some reason my speed-up / mobility enhancer is always on V (Velocity).
Any type of main defensive goes on B (arkskin)
Both these are so easy to reach with the thumb
Aaaan I use Alt-f4 for my "Ooooh shit" button.
Binding a mousebutton to Ctr is a very powerful gamer move
Love to hear an ellesmore/growl discussion in addition to this.
I have had the same keybindings since i started this game over 15 years ago QWE for movement, ADF1-0, and Shift 1-6 for defensives
actually an insane vid, i argue with my friends about optimal binds all the time so this was very entertaining
You can actually bind stuff to Mouse wheel up and Mouse wheel down. So you will have 3 binds or even 5 (if you have mb5 and mb4 thumb buttons).
Very interesting to hear all those pros talking about their keybinds but at the i feel it's individual preference who makes the best keybinds to themselves
Couldn’t agree more. I adhd and I could never learn how to play with a normal keyboard.
But then I watched a video from hazelnuttygames in which she used a razer naga mouse along with a gaming keypad. I decided to try it out myself and something in my brain just clicked. Thats what enabled me to finally become a decent player.
i'm listening to the keybindings on a qwerty keyboard, and i raise you: Razer Tartarus Pro. Movement with the tumbstick and spells on 03-05, 08-10, 13-15.
Move: WASD (A+D as strafe)
Core abilities/rotation: Q, E, R, F + shift modifier for the same keys.
Lighter cooldowns / additional rotational: 12345
Major Cooldowns: Shift + 1234
Utility keys: G, T, V.
Mouse side buttons (+shift modifier) are for placement abilities and movement abilities.
Usually i dont need any more binds than that.
Try shift space and ctrl space for movement stuff like blink. I use similar keys to you, (minus the t and v) and it was a game changer. Allowed a ton of defensive and move speed stuff to be on my mouse where I can panic press them.
So like, on mage. Shift space Is blink. Ctrl space is door of shadows/nf ability. For dk, shift space is wraith walk, but deaths advance is f6 (mouse).
@@bestpinoza shift /ctrl space is for ground / flying mount
What makes me sad is that I figured all the above out years ago with trail and error. I should have asked around!!!
For anyone looking for new binds, F1-4 are great binds for things like healthstone and pots, kinda out of the way, but easy to find without looking. I also use F5-8 for pet summons or auras and F9 for mounting up.
And the best idea is getting a keyboard that has a split Spacebar, with a Function key in-between the two Spacebars, so you can use F1-F5 (or F6) on the same keys as your regular number row, except you just have to shift your thumb that's sitting on your Spacebar slightly to the right to hit the Function key. I use 1-6, Shift + 1-6 and F1 - F6 for my abilities, and my fingers never have to stretch for anything, and my hand remains in the same place for all of them.
F keys? that's fucked up.
F1-9 are raid targeting markers for me.
People will grumble and moan about balance and content as always, but keybind discussions is where the real interesting stuff is!
(1-5, then (F, G, X, C, M4, M5) + Shift/Ctrl/Alt mods for me)
This is the most unhelpful video on keybindings but I’ll be damned if I wasn’t entertained the whole time 😂
Dorki with the low key, “my healer is so dumb.” Comment at 8:37. 😂😂😂
ESDF for movement is actually 5head if you can get used to it. Since you can reach more of your keyboard
Only issue I had with that is shift and ctrl not being within easy reach for the pinky.
Im an esf enjoyer. It was weird for a bit after years of wad for movement but it was so worth it. Not only more binds to the left but i can reach alot of keys on the right side of the keyboard with my thumb. I is mount for example. Mana gem on j Shift H is mana shield, h is ice barrier when u start using your thumb all the bottom row keys become great binds too
I don't know about everyone else but my movement abilities like roll leap ect are shift space bar because I always rest my thumb on space and there's always a finger resting on shift
as soon as JPC said z and x for strafe I immediately knew he got his binds from Reckful
ed forward and backpedaling, s and f for strafe. 2 to 5 for big CD rota and potions y to n for utility and defensives, qw and rt for my main single and mutlitarget builders/spenders, and 4 mousebuttons for mousover macro-ed stuff as a heal, kicks, huntertraps and other cc. mount on 1, flying mount on 6, battle-pet mascot on 7. sometimes these get used for more random stuff you rarely need on classes that have lots of fluff abilities, in that case setup and out of combat goes to unbinded i forgot a and g, those are executes and off-rota abiliteis with procs
Highly recommend putting PTT key on your mouse, it allows you to talk without interrupting using abilities.
I recommend not using PTT and u dont need to waste a keybind. xD
I'm a hunter and forward wheel scroll on my mouse is AoC and backward wheel scroll on my mouse is disengage.
On my pally alt, forward is my mount, and on my shaman, forward is wind gust, while backwards is my wind rush totem.
I basically learned I am basically like jpc but I use A and S for movement and my modifiers are my mouse buttons. Pretty similar otherwise. Kind of made since to me at the time and haven’t looked back.
I've been using my tartarus for so long that this conversation is almost alien to me. Great content though!
I’m surprised more people don’t use mouse wheel up/down for spammable attacks. Shift+mouse wheel for movement abilities. I set it up years ago and haven’t been able to go back
Q for filler, E for 'main' ability or second filler, like ice lance or demonbolt. R is usually most damaging rotational spell, sometimes a spender like hand of guldan or eviscerate.
F is interrupt
1 is main cd
2 is defensive
3 is movement ability
V is aoe filler or builder
T is also some kind of aoe button
Idk those are just some of mine
We're kinda similar then.
Q and E (shift, ctrl, alt) are all my damage abilities. Rebound strafe to A and D.
R are stuns/CC
F is interrupt
G are movement abilities like Disengage, Fel Rush
T are some random abilities like Feign Death, Misdirect etc
1 is offensive abilities (Bestial Wrath, Aspect or Meta)
2 are defensives
3 other big cds
4 are buffs like Battle Shout
X is selfheal, shift-X health pot, control-X healthstone
Also use Shift-C and Control-C for some abilities like taunt, mend pet etc.
Movements : esdf, then you'll have an extra column for skills (forward, backwards, strafe left, strafe right)
Took me like an hour to get used to.
GG wow are really pushing the best content by FAR
Shout out to changing Q and E. I remember doing that when WoW first dropped (came from CS), and having the strafe on the Q and E keys was too strange for me. I remember about 18 years ago showing my buddy my rogue, and he was trying to move and gave me crap about changing those keys. WELL LOOK WHO'S LAUGHIN NOWWWWW!
Everyone has very different hand resting positions too, like the way my thumb naturally curls in makes hitting keys like xcvb super easy for me but i know some people would go into full on cramp mode trying that.
this actually is a very high quality video, gj
tank can do some backpaddling like prots doing claps on slowed mob with just beeing in leeway or normal range
If you wanna move backwards just backstrafe with cam and A n D you dont even need to put strafe on any button since you can just hold rightclick and move in any direction you want if you wanna strafe right just WD and use cam as always
also most people just never learned to backstrafe which is essential for casters to gain distance in pvp for ex
I have a G502 mouse, and the G8 button is bound to CTRL. I use 1-6, shift 1-6, ctrl 1-6 and then the same for qertfgzxcv depending on how many keybinds the class uses. Brew, Hpriest probably use the most, then my MW. I basically have access to about 30-36 keybinds from my left hand and it never has to shift over or move. and of course, WASD for movement (strafe, no turn)
Oh also qwe, 123 are St and Aoe mostly Shift qwe are abilities I need but not as often. Tab and dgt used for stuns and utilities
I think we need a live demonstration from growl on how tf you press control with the knuckle on ur pinky
I think he means the joint. He uses his palm to press ctrl
Can agree to the backwards movement key not being on your opposite hand. It does fuck you up when you have a hard pull and too much to do.
dude, growl is legit the best content creator in the whole community, dude is funny, relatable and knowledgeable
And he just seems like the nicest guy teaching newer players. If he could be the person people talk to when they try wow for the first time it would be a better place 😂😂
GG WoW always with the best content!
Ohhh i'm totally using a macro/alt modifier on my emergency pot/healthstonr button to separate them from now on, good idea.
Didnt watch the whole video yet, but the big 'insight' ive come to over the years is that when strafing with A and D, there are 3 key binds i can use in all cases when strafing: 2, 3, E. So on every class any core abilities that i need to use while being able to move go to those 3 keybinds.
For me?
I strafe with AD, so QE are free use. I also unbind backpedal, so S is available.
So on every toon I have, Q is my core CC. Because cc makes someone QQ.
S is silence. On each toon, their interupt goes on S. spell lock, counter spell, pummel, mind freeze, kick, doesn’t matter.
esdf is actually the best way to manage something like the 20 binds in wow without retraining the wasd muscle memory that comes from literally every other game.
ESDF movement for life.
Been using that since the original Team Fortress days.
i love tettles trying not to speak while everyone is discussing
Imo its super personal preference. I try to make it generic and with some reason, but I'm also inconsistent with multiple keys because of habbit. But I do use modifiers alot rather then more different keys, its easier for me to press Shift/Ctrl/Alt + 4/T/G which is my farthest away keys from WASD. I have remacrod my numeric keyboard and some F-keys to my mouse. So I might have normal 1 for something and Mouse 1 for something else
I like WASD Movement
Mobility : Shift + Space (WTF?) and most often F, except DH which has blade dance here, dono why.
QEF2 For rotation cause I have short fingers and they are closer than 1 2 3 4
I like having kick realy easy to click like they talk about so I have it on the middle of my mmo mouse keys so button 5 + shift modifier for focus, but I use Ctrl+F for mouseover kick, because i dont wanna mouseover and press a button with the mouse at the same time.
Stun R, If u got a 2nd stun usualy Shift+1. For Rogue it's 1 because U have to be in stealth for cheap shot anyway (Or Dance)
I always have Trinkets on V and Shift V
Racial G
dps pot/pvp trinket shift+X
Health pot CTRL+G, Stone 4 (no logic here just what I use)
Covenant class ability shift + mouse4 - This I Know I should swap because sometimes I accidently use it when I've used a shift modifier and going to a spam ability on 4. I just havnt figured out where I should change it too yet.
Ctrl+E for covenant ability
Shift + 2 for Purge except for Mage which has it on C, which mind fucks me alot but when I try swapping on the mage I instead fuck it up out of habbit
Major CD Shift+Q : Which probly is to easy to click for how often u use it but I very rarely accidently press it
T and Shift T is some kind of Mobility ability or cast while moving (so mobilityish) like Monk/Lock teleport, place the spot with Shift + T, use it with T. Mage/Shaman cast while moving is here too.
Rest of my keybinds is abit "random" but not realy I just don't know how to explain them in generic terms.
Most mice have left & right click, mouse wheel up & down, wheel click, then two side buttons, then even sometimes left and right click on wheel.
I slowly added more and more hotkeys over time. At the moment I have 42 keys between modifiers and stuff on my mouse I can hit. I rebound a lot of stuff all around WASD. Pretty much anything left of H has been rebound and scooted around. Example, I use R, CTRL+R and ALT+R and move that to T. I also use CTRL+T to set focus.
I have around the 40 mark too. I play a druid though, between main spec, affinity and utility it is a stupid amount of buttons.
my binds consistent to every game F key (fast) for dashes/movement R for interrupts T for CCs . C for awkward short cds . X for some defensives. then shift 1-4 for big cds, V for racisl
QWE is the superior movement setup
this allows u to hit A and D without having to take your finger off your movement keys
try hitting E while moving with D.. you have to physically take your finger off the key
binding Q and E to strafe right/left allows u to slide into A and D much easier for a stun/silence
WER would be better imo once you get a bit used to it.
High level Raiders backpedal....lol, hell several people in the RWF in Echo were backpedaling.
I use a gamepad and an mmo mouse... My movement is a joystick on my left thumb on the gamepad... x.x; Rotational abilities are 1-3, and 5. Spenders are 6 and 7. Movement abilities (ghost wolf, blind, roll) is 4. 8 is covenant ability/neck ability/legion artifact ability. 9 is defensives. 0 is taunt/rez/utility. A lot of my major cooldowns are on macros, like ctrl+alt+1 is wall, ctrl+alt+2 is big 3 min cd. Shift 1-4 is aoe rotational stuff. Shift 4-7 are utility stuff/stuns. My healthstone/healthpot/kyrian phial is also macros ctrl+alt+5 and 6. ctrl+alt+7 is kick...
Gamepad also has B, C, M, N, space, tab, shift, ctrl.
Easiest way to explain is my main is brew. So 1 is BOK, 2 is tiger palm, 3 is rushing jade wind, 4 is roll, 5 is keg smash, 6 is breath of fire, 7 is SCK, 8 is kyrian ability, 9 is celestial brew 0 is taunt - is RoP.
Shift 1 is crackling jade lightning, shift 2 is transcendence, shift 3 is teleport, shift 4 is leg sweep, shift 5 is paralize, shift 7 is tigers lust, shift 8 is trinket, shift 9 is purifying brew, shift 0 is target statue and taunt, shift - is revive.
ctrl+alt+1 is zen med, ctrl+alt+2 is purifying brew, ctrl+alt+3 is invoke nuizhao, ctrl+alt+5 is healthstone ctrl+alt+6 is healthpot ctrl+alt+7 is kick ctrl+alt+8 is gateway toy, ctrl+alt+9 is hearth.
ctrl F is so easy for me to press. I press ctrl with my the palm area right under my pinky. Outside of my main rotation, I'm pretty comfortable with anything left of G with ctrl and shift modifier. I dont use alt. Q E to strafe cos there's always good real estate when I need a new keybind.
"the butt of your pinky" had me laughing out loud, i understood but it still made me lol
I like ESDF for movement instead of WASD the adjustment time is low and you get more keybinds. And ZXC have been very useful since 2004 classic.
6:53 Now.. is Growl speaking from experience about the ESDF combo or is he spying on me? Sth a weird moonkin would do, lmao 😂😂
WASD for movement (though I still have A and D as turn, and use the right mouse button to hold camera steady, which converts them to strafe buttons--thinking of changing this).
tilde for dots (sometimes for charge, wild charge type abilities), 1 for short cooldown rotational abilities (judgement, shadow dance, etc), 2 for filler spell, 3 for rotational buff ability or other short cd ability, 4 for weaker/spammable spender, 5 for big spender, 6 for situational or longer cd damage ability (not major cds though)
-all of these are based on which finger has to press the button, so I want my strongest finger pressing the "strong" button, and I don't want to have a spam button on 1 because that's my pinky/ring finger.
-all of these have a ctrl mod variant that is for aoe filler (ctrl-2), covenant ability (ctrl-4), aoe spender or execute (ctrl-5), execute if not on ctrl-5 is on ctrl-6, then some more situational buttons are on ctrl-1+3, usually with a semi-major cd on c-3, and a ranged ability (for melee) on c-1, with trinkets sometimes filling the gaps.
Q and c-Q are defensives, E is interrupt, c-E is usually a CC ability, but that depends (always a targeted ability), c-tilde is usually a utility ability. F s-F c-F are all movement buttons, with covenant movement on s-F, primary movement on F, situational or specialty movement on c-F (on druid I have dash on F, stamp roar on c-F, soulshape on s-F)
The rest of my buttons are on my mmo mouse, I have the g-600 so three large mouse buttons, plus mouse wheel that clicks and rocks left or right, then a grid of 12 buttons. The two buttons below the wheel are profile change and bags. The third big mouse button is the g-shift (which changes the function of the grid buttons). The grid is bound to F1-F12, g-shift grid adds shift to that. On this grid are mostly utility buttons (and major CD ability that doesn't fit into c-1 through c-6), but this is much more varied by class. Basically there is no button that has to be clicked. I do have a sort of pattern I follow but utility varies so much it's hard to explain the pattern. In general, the non-shift buttons are standard utility, shift buttons are like healthstone, health pots, shapeshifts (s-F7 through s-F12), other rarely pressed buttons, or just things I want visible that I don't press a dedicated keybind for. Button 5 (rock the wheel right) doubles up pressing the same key as F (main movement ability).
Shift-Scroll up is dps potion, Ctrl-Scroll up is random mount, Ctrl-Scroll down is specific mount, depending on character.
I also have a few OPie wheels: shift-B is for teleports, mouse button 4 (rock wheel left) is for certain utility (mostly hunter or warlock pet stuff, summon stone, lock rocks, gate, tame beast, flare, etc.), shift-R is for targeted raid markers with a jump slice for banners (I usually just use the MRT raid bar for banners).
Boss button is on G.
Things shift slightly for tanks/healers, though tanks basically just have to slot in an extra defensive or something. Taunt is on 4, active mit on 5. For healers, all of my targeted healing abilities are done using Clique on whatever unit frame I'm trying to affect (raid frames, party frames, target, player, focus). All of the left-click buttons are the sort of "manual" single target heals (heal, flash heal and their equivalent in each class, like vivify/soothing mist, etc). The stronger of the two is on shift. Ctrl left click is usually a trinket or other class-specific type of ability like pw: serenity. Right click is usually a hot or pw:s, shift right click is a stronger hot, weaker/spammable aoe button, or WoG, ctrl right click is a stronger/cooldown aoe button like wild growth. Middle click is dispell (on friendlies) or soothe/purge (on enemies). Button 4 (rock wheel right) is an external defensive, the rest of the middle mouse button stuff with modifiers depends heavily on the spec. All of the non-targeted healer stuff goes on dps buttons that aren't used for the dps rotation, so things like efflo, healing rain, Light of Dawn. Raid CDs are on the mouse grid.
@Reulorics Pressing shift requires me to move my whole hand, so I try to avoid pressing the actual key for things I'm going to be pressing a lot. Also my g-shift button isn't actually the shift key, it just enables a second layer of buttons that happen to be bound to shift+something.
WASD to move forward/back and strafe, 1-6, shift+1-6, Q,E,R,F,T,G,C and shift variants of those, side mouse buttons for trinket/racial, middle mouse button ptt. ctl comes into play when shifting forms. if I need more I can incorporate V or X. Z is a little too akward for me to hit so I don't use it.
WAD, movement, everything else a 1-12 on a mouse with modifiers for each shift +1-12. F and T I use for insta casts
Secret tech: the 6 key is slightly closer on an ergonomic keyboard, making it a more viable bind
What about an Extra Action button? On the rare occasion it pops up what's the best keybind for it?
walk/strafe with: zxc
main abilities/used the most: asdfg
second tier abilities: SHIFT+asdfg
big cooldown abilities/least used ones: qwert
...
I use wer for strafe left forward rstrafe right. . . I keep my hands on the dots on F of your keyboard like a touch typeist since it is what i know! lol. . . and my push to talk is middle mouse button
Lemme put you on. I'm an fps gamer so my mouse only has middle click and 2 mouse buttons on the side. the ones on the side i use for movement abilities, and the middle click is usually a stun. Tilda is the goated interrupt key, E and q are the goated healthpot / defensive key. Also on subtlety I had eviscerate on 3 and then black powder on shift+3 so all I would have to do is hold shift if i wanted to switch to aoe, it was surprisingly convenient.
Then again I put my immunity on F4 so wtf do i know lmao
So how does jpc keybind I'm very intrigued? Can't find anything on the interweb.
Put your left hand on the keyboard. Where does it land naturally? ASDF, logically S and F would be strafe, E is forward and you don’t back peddle. S and F also have the little bumps so your hand finds itself where it should be off of feel.
QWE is my strafe/forward/strafe keybinds as well.
jpc is right, i use the same and also got them from reckful in like 2010. i used to use QE for stafing and unbind AD like asuna though
My keybinds are awful but I learned all of my ability keybinding muscle memory from Diablo 2. I use 1-5 and f1-f4 for my main abilities, plus ~ and a handful of other more modern binds, but the biggest thing is having a 12 button mouse I can use along with modifiers.
Honestly wow just has way too many abilities. I don't feel like it would lose anything significant if you could bind everything you need in less than 25 binds.
i really want to hear sometimes what dorki speaking but everyone just louder. He have a such a big brain. He is totaly right with the E,R,F filler. very easy to push. Also im really intrested how his keybinds seems. I looked for it but i dont find a post or something like this from his binds:/
What I learned is that nearly everyone does it differently. Who would have thought. I use arrow keys and an external keypad. everything I need right there.
Chow big brain. Def put my spam on mouse. Trigger for single. Shift+trigger for aoe. I can easily hold shift while moving so it just flows easily even in aoe.
WASD movement (strafe a-d)
I have 7 buttons in the mouse(+shift and +alt) so 21
Q,E,R,T,F (+shift and +alt) 15 more
“F is always my stun on every too”
Also scroll up and down with (+shift and +alt)
Do we think jpc has vial on ctrl+s because that is the save shortcut and it will effectively save him?
I would like to hand out a pro tip myself for keybinding! I made a spreadsheet where i ranked keybinds 1-3 depending on how easy they were to press. THEN i put in spells/Abilities depending on how important they were into a keybind slot. Like Mount, not very important (Shift+H for me), ranked 3. Insta heal, Rank 1, needs to be fast and easy to use(G for me). (for example)
Also another tip is moving your entire left hand 1 "click" to the right. This free's up a whole lot of combinations on your left side while you can still reach your modifiers. Like who uses Caps Lock? Yeah noone, so there you instantly have free 3 combinations with modifiers
Ah another person who knows the value of the ESF movement keys haha very nice!
I use the same logic as you from there with priority of use on abilities. I take it one step further and have spell positions on my action bars set up to mirror the keyboard as well
Random question... I jump (press spacebar) continuously as if it is my own beat / metronome to the general CD while I do my rotation,
Would doing this, hurt my overal dps / healing throughput? (I dont play casters)
Classes are :
Survival hunter / Brewmaster monk and Holy Paly.
It has become such a habbit, should I try to unlearn it?
Not really,if you played a caster you would cancel all your skills but whit mele or hunter its okay to spam jump
