Howdee. Iv recently hit level 49 & now I am a fully twinked frost mage ready to kick some ass. I can do some pritty decent owning just by clicking, however i want to get better & i hear & see that most hardcore PvP'ers have majority of their spells keybinded.
I just have a bog standard mouse & keybord that came with my Dell computer.
I am really stuggleing to break the habbit of a life time from clicking to useing keybinds, & also struggleing to think of a good layout for my keybinds.
this is what iv come up with so far...
Move Forwards = W
Move Backwards = S
Strafe Left = A
Strafe Right = D
Blink = Q
Ice Barrier = Scroll Forward on Middle Mouse Wheel
Mana Shield = Shift +
Sroll Forward on Middle Mouse Wheel
Fireward = Scroll Backwards on Middle Mouse Wheel
Frostward = Shift + Scroll Backwards on Middle Mouse Wheel
Counter Spell = Click Down on Middle Mouse Wheel
& thats it, i get stuck after that... im not to sure if the problem is my hands or my keybord but i can only reach numbers 1-4 & 5 if i try. then
i have E, R, F, V, C, X ,Z to use as keybinds. But now iv noticed another problem. The way my hand naturally rests over the main keys is like this. Little finger (Pinky) rests to the left of the Shift key (edge of keybord), my Ring finger rests over A & Q, my Middle finger rests over W, my Index finger rests over D & my Thumb rests on the space bar. i did try binding Frost Nova to F but then the problem im faced with then was i coudnt press it if i was strafeing right cos my index finger is busy on D
what im trying to say is Middle finger controlls W, E & 3, my Ring finger controlls A, Q, 1 &
2 & then my Index finger crontrolls D, E, R, F, V, C, X so as you can see here if i strafe to the right my index finger is on D there for R, F, V, C & X are un reachable or unable to press unless i quickly able to strafe left left freeing up my index finger.
Can anyone offer any good surjestions on what spells should be binded to what keys & if there are any tutorials on how to make the most of keybindings. Many thanksUse you keypad on the right hand side of your computer it makes it faster to do combos and you can use all the buttons to do differnt moves im a lvl 70 undead frost mage and that is what i use for my pvp and in pve works great and leaves the other buttons for things like food and mounts so u dont have to go in your bag to click on your mount..my keybindnings are
