Nice, thank you for this.

LOL! The Jeff Cavalier meme was golden! 🤣🤣

I rebind caps lock to be either alt or ctrl and use that as my primary modifier and use shift as my second modifier.

Thanks Ezrael for the guidance! I developed a terrible habit many, many years ago of using bad keybinds. Primary was No. Lock #s, secondary was 1-9, using control modifiers to have extra...it's as horrible as it sounds, but I got decent at it. I perform quite well with such a weird handicap, I look forward to seeing how much I improve by using real keybinds. 😂

Thanks, best video out there

Great video, I am struggling with keybinds on my Restro druid in Arena. Should I start with 1 macro for Target focus Cyclone or should I macro cyclone on focus arena target 1/2/3?

I've been grouping my keybinds like this for years. I've also been using F1-F4, but that is very dependant on the keyboard.

I need to learn and apply arena targeting and focus keybinds/macros. It’s a big part of the game I’m lacking in.

I play on steam deck with the gamepad addon with the action camera and this is still good information 👍

@drewdabrew4745

Жыл бұрын

The more I watch the more I feel like the steam deck is best 😂 . The gamepad binds are super easy and you can press all quickly , especially with shifting the buttons . Plus steam deck has two trackpads u can quickly and easily mouse over to anything on screen

nice video just some quick notes 1. adjust action bar layouts and size. most important cooldowns like Evasion, or Avenging wrath you should see without even looking, so place them front-center and maybe increase size so you always know when and if it is available. Abilities without CD like Mutilate or Arcane blast can be in the botom corner, 1mm x 1mm in size for all you care because they are always available. 2. if using mouse with aditional buttons like Razor Naga, adjust the shape of the action bar to match the shape of the layout on your mouse. My mouse has 4 rows in 3 lines, so if I adjust the action bar to it`s shape, i know what to press just by looking at it. This is really for the begginers, maybe for starting an alt, or if you just bought new mouse with new layout, .....before you just memorise what is where. 3. if making layout for new class, or maybe coming from different MMO, put similar abilities on keybinds you are used to. For instance i have Kick on "R" key, when i play paladin I put Rebuke on "R" key, when on Mage i put counterspell on "R" key...... and so on. "R" has been my kick button since tBC when i transitioned from beeing a noob and stoped mouseclicking my action bar and now my brain is hardwired to using it without thinking about it

@RichardHarlos

Жыл бұрын

Really useful comment. Thanks. Related to your points number 2 & 3, I did this with my action bars in the layout of my keyboard. The visual correspondence of the layout has been super helpful to me in exactly the same way that going 3x4 helps you with the naga key layout. Rather than keeping my home position on wasd, though, I shifted everything to the center of the keyboard. My left-hand fingers rest on F,G,H,J, and the only modifier I use is on the right-side of the keyboard, using my left-hand thumb. Other than my pinky tab-targeting with the "D" key, and every other left-hand finger is just one or 2 buttons reach from all my abilities. This works really well, in part, because I never have to negotiate the 'jump here to use the movement finger to press something else while in mid air' tactic, and also in part due to each key being 2 abilities: for one ability, and for another ability. Admittedly, this is a radical departure from conventional layout & keybind perspectives. However, It's a layout that easily maps between damage dealing classes (I don't heal or tank, so maybe there are some drawbacks in those roles). The down side is that my movement is entirely via mouse: double-buttons to move forward & turn, and mouse 3 & 4 to strafe. This is surprisingly adequate in most situations, but pillar-hugging/peeking behavior is slower for me because strafe is mouse 3 & 4, on the left side of the mouse. Frankly, my thumb just isn't dexterous enough for me to do the high-speed strafe movement that keyboard strafers get by using 2 fingers and 2 strafe buttons. Sadly, my existing layout is so second-nature by now that trying to put strafe buttons back onto the mix (G & J seem the most sensible buttons for strafe in my current layout) displaces 4 abilities (G, alt G, J, alt J) that just don't feel easily relocated to buttons that aren't already used for other things. I think if I could remap the 'menu' button on my keyboard (between ALT and CTR on the right side) as a 2nd modifier (either as SHFT or CTRL), that could solve my problem -- at least in theory. So far, I haven't figured out how to do this. It's complicated by the fact that I play WoW on linux, so there isn't any keyboard-specific software that will remap my keyboard as can be done under windows). Hopefully as I learn my way around linux, I'd figure out how to remap the keyboard only when playing WoW and then... well... I'll be about as happy as I can be from a binding & layout perspective :)

@@dmitriytitov4116 I find that using the keyboard to move and use abilities means that any time I'm trying to move, the finger that's holding down the strafe key cannot do anything else unless... I stop moving. Since each finger on the keyboard controls a minimum of 6 abilities, this means that if I'm strafing left, the finger holding down the strafe key can't use any of it's 6 abilities unless I first stop moving. This just feels like a disadvantage to me. Do you strafe with your keyboard? If so, how do you deal with the scenario where you're moving but want to use the abilities that the strafe-key finger usually uses?

It still makes me doubt myself that i managed to hit 18k cr in shuffle preety smoothly but im still bearly 12k in 2v2 pugging with many many games... Very good tips tho! Really enjoying warrior this season.

i have most comfortable keybinding for myself because i have small hands. I will share it in a moment but i watched this video because the turning left and right i use A and D in arena made me lose many time because i keep spamming backward which so predictable. . I have been playing for 13 years and A-D is turning for me instead of drafting left and right now i finally changed it. i use my right click mouse to turn. I use Q-E-R-T-F-C-V-G-H--Z -2- Mouse scroll up - Mouse scroll down- Middle Mouse. Other spells SHIFT + Q-E-R-T-F-C-V-G-H--Z -2 mouse scroll up - mouse scroll down- middle mouse MORE SPELL CTRL + Q-E-R-T-F-C-V-G-H--Z -2 mouse scroll up - mouse scroll down- middle mouse SHIFT + 2 is always shield for me or reduce damage with short CDS depending on class, and mouse scroll up is always healing depending on class with my mage it's blizzard or ring of fire. mouse scroll down always touch of death or similar spell for other melee but for mage and other classes withs spell stealing ability or removing a benefit buff from enemy is mouse scroll down. on my dk is death grip. home this helps someone with small hands.

I use the mousewheel for focus, Shift+Mousewheel for target, and then Ctrl Mousewheel for Stun/Kick and whichever for Focus. It made a huge difference and was pretty much intuitive after a handful of matches.

My only critique of the keybind tier list is that, to be more specific, you should bind your most used damage or heal to the keys most comfortable for your index finger. This is because your index finger has more dexterity and is less likely to get fatigues from frequent use.. it is also a faster finger. In my case, for example, my filler/spam abilities are on bound to "4" on ALL of my characters. Sbolt/Souldrain on aff? 4! Mutilate/BS on rogue? 4! Starsurge? 4!, Chaos Strike? 4! the most spammed ability should be on the finger that will last the longest and react the fastest.

If you want to pvp seriously (or do anything well unless you're maybe a pve tank), move with asd only. Backpeddling is slower, useless, worse in every way, takes more mental ram than just moving forward all the time. Casting at what you're running from? Strafe away from them, they're still in your character's fov on the left or right.
