awesome vid, as a returning player i knew most of this once but after years away had forgotten most of it. this was like a quick refresher course for me. you've no doubt saved me time and frustration with this

I have been playing the game for 20 years and you went over things I wasn’t even aware they added into the game! This is awesome

The addon Better Fishing is even better.

Man being able to whisper myself is so simple but what a game changer. Awesome vid as always!

For the chat windows you can just right click the channel name and say open in new tab or something along that line. it will appear on the chat just like in the video but also auto clears it from the general tab. saves steps

just found your channel and wanted to say thank you for this. i've been playing since the beginning but always as a casual player. i considered macros, add ons, key binding, etc. as things for raiders and pvpers. the "quality of life" caught my attention and i'm so glad i watched. there's definitely a few changes i'll be making. the whole interact option, esp with fishing, is going to be great.

Enabled most of this immediately. Great video - very informative! I have the Brazier of Awakening and never knew where i got it from. Very useful as a tank if my healer dies.

One trick I’ve used for years is to change my movement keys from WASD to ESDF, basically shifting one button to the right. It opens up more buttons on the left of your movement keys but keeps you close enough to still hit SHIFT, CAPS, and such so you can still use modifiers. It takes some getting used to, but the increased functionality is wonderful.

These are amazing! I had no idea you could do most of this. 😁👍

"Hello, my name is Syiler and this is my MasterClass." Thank you! That is a lot of very useful information bundled up in a nearly 18 minute video! I'm an older player and not as savvy with things as most players seem to be. I've never used macros before but now I'm feeling motivated to try them! I'm bookmarking this video and I will rewatch and attempt to apply some of your recommended setting changes. Cheers!

I've been playing steady since fe 2007, and This is one of the most useful videos I've ever seen. Thanks a lot brother 🤟

The "MaxCamera" trick was one of the most useful things in the game. And then in Legion (I think?) it was taken away because it trivialized the grappling hook puzzles. I think it was then the middle of SL it was accidentally put back in .. and then like 2 months later they took it out. All that to say: I just tried your macro (which is the same as it's always been) and .. it doesn't work. I'm not sure what you were showcasing in the video, but when I invoke that console command, I can't zoom out any farther. Which is what I expected because, for some dumb reason, Blizzard doesn't want us to zoom out any further than the default 1.9.

My personal best tip is: Bind a movement ability to an easy keybinding! For me it started with the (back then brand new) monks - roll (shift-space) and that flying serpent kick (ctrl-space) i then adapted this to my main, my druid - cat form (shift-space) and wild charge (ctrl-space)

Massively helpful for me, thank you so much!

This is great, learned some new things, so thanx for that.

Amazing video as always. Thank you for sharing.

Gotta say, most of these videos are click bait garbage that anyone who's played more than 5 minutes would know. This one, however, is actually really good. Played this game since BC and there were a few things in there that were new to me. Very well done :)

For me this added a lot of quality of life, thank you so much for this :)

I had my warlock macrod for my mouse wheel, with mouse over effects. I.e up applies a curse. Down applied corruption. Putting it cast an AOE spell. Also had a macro for hearthstone, which clicked to use if i had a stone or make one if i didnt.. Sooooo bloody handy.

Omg so many great things to do and make this game even better... Thank you 😎👍

This was awesome.

Wow thanks!

Great vid

You can remove the red error text on skill use with a line in a macro too if you don't want to find a mod to do so. I can't remember off the top of my head what the syntax is but I remember macroing nearly all my skills back in the day on my warrior to keep my screen clear of "insufficient rage" warning.

Godly work

I've been looking for a way to get rid of the error messages forever now!!!! ty so much!!!!!!! they are so annoying when they pop up

As a fellow mount collector i been using a very nice macro since wrath, that lets you also random mount but since it a macro you can make seperate ones for land/flying and aquatic (since the build in random mount will always pick flying when you can fly) and even seperate them per character which is very nice if you got alot of mounts and alts and want to match mounts to certain classes The macro is /castrandom mountname, mountname, mountname Obviously you just replace the mountname with whatever mounts you like to use the only drawback to this is mounts with a , in the name itself those will brick the macro

What addon are you using for your player frames and action bars?

Can the @player or @cursor be also done to @target? Would be very useful for group casting macros so I can include AoEs.

Forgive me for the dumbest exclamation of delight you're probably going to ever read... but! I've played WoW since BC and I've never quite figured out why when I watch people play in videos/streams they moved differently to me. It's your strafe binding tip! So thanks to you this ancient player finally gets it and will be applying the change. Bless you.

Error Filter and Mute Sound File are great for error frame and error sound elimination

ESDF has always been superior to WASD simply because of how many keys it leaves for your pinky. This was the norm in the early stages of PC gaming. I don't know how or why it was ever changed.

I play a healer and pretty much only do PVP / pug BGs. It takes a few mins, but usually one or two people on my team will be awesome and stand out. It is these people I wish to be able to focus my heals on and prioritize. Is there an addon / macro or something I can use to easily flag a person as high priority?

Question I noticed on the gathering part of the video sometimes world quests maybe dungeons give you an extra action button how do I move that to 1 side like in your video?
