If the bind requires a Focus Modifier for various reasons.On what key a bind should be placed depends on: Now we'll go over to catigorizing spells. There are also keys that have the word "Fast" on them, representing that the respective finger is fast on clicking it. Connected to it are lines that show wich keys each respective finger can touch. The black circles represent my fingertips in my hands idle position.

After reading this you can just identify the ideal setup for your own case by making the same finger map as I did!Ĭlick the image to open the full image in a new tab! If your keyboard varies alot from it, don't sweat it. I'll use Razer Lycosa as a template since it has some pretty standard key positioning. Rebind straight away, those bars will be shown anyways if you're using the 4 action bars enabled via Interface. Shift+1 through 6 - By default bound to Action page 1 through 6. As a reference I use scroll up for Mutilate, Obliterate, Dispel Magic and scroll down for Envenom and Frost Strike. Not worth it in any way seeing it's a AA+ prime bind, and you can just rebind zoom to your up and down keys. Scroll Up & Down - By default scroll in & out.

How good of a binding these two are depend on the mouse and you. Most mice will have them and some will not. Mousebutton 4 & 5 - Don't know what the default bind is, but I know that It's a incredible bind. A bit annoying at first to use as a spell bind, but totally worth it. This key is perfect (on my keyboard atleast) for spells that will be using a modifier of any sort (focus cast spells etc). It can for some be a bit uncomfortable for the index finger to reach.į - By default Assist Target. Y - I only recommend this if you really need space. T - Can't even remember, since blizzard made it it's probably not worth in anyways. Just rebind that too, R is a really good bind. Rebind it if you like it/need more space. Not really super necessary but nevertheless I have great use of it as a spell binding. V is a great bind.ī - By default Toggle Backpacks. Also a very well placed key that I personally use for spells I need to be fast at clicking on, so just rebind it to something much less important if you can't be asked clicking the character icon. A very unappreciated key.Ĭ - By default Show Character Pane. Not really worth having, since you won't be flying or swimming when it really matters. If you want to RP go ahead, but if you want a fine keybinding then put a spell here! These two keys serve as top notch spell bindings furthermore. It is equally encouraged as backpeddling since it's much faster to just turn with your mouse. Q & e - By default bound to Turn, also called keyboard turn. It will be more of use for us as a bind for a spell for instance. Backpeddling is comparable to running into void zones and banging your head against your keyboard IRL. Backpeddling is 50% slower than normal running, so it's stupid to not just turn with your MOUSE (not keys, covered below). You should NEVER EVER EVER backpeddle, unless you're a tank or have another very very good reason. S - By default bound to Backpeddle, but don't sweat it. Not only does your flow and movement improve, you get used to it fast too. Specifically regarding backpeddle and keyboard turning. These suggestions might seem wierd or just plain stupid, but a big amount of good players (gladiators, top raiders) bind this way.
