anyone have any good keybindings that they would like to share?
Keybinds is that kind of personal thing that one cannot copy...
I use 1 to 6 (CD's and situational stuff) on keyboard and 6 extra mouse buttons (healing/damage spells) which is a basic logitech wireless mouse nothing fancy and right mouse button for dispells.
Using modifiers Shift and Ctrl for a total 34 possible binds + rightclick dispell.
Thats what i use, but you have to figure keybinds out urself.
U have to be able to play with it.
If you want me to write all of my binds for you, sure, because i'm bored anyway, but i'm currently using 68 key binds including focus/ctrl/alt modifiers on my rogue. basically anything around wasd and my mouse.
i use `-5, alt `-4, shift 1-4, f1-f4, shift f1-shift f4, 2 extra mouse buttons also with shift and alt mods and i use R, F, and T as those are close to wasd. I know that some poeple like to use ESDF fpr movement. That opens up a lot more letters to keybind to.

It's really easy to set up keybinds, but it's really up to you which binds you are comfortable to use.
These should be standard binds for almost everyone that are using WASD.
Not that common binds, modifers (shift/alt/ctrl) on your movementkeys WASD.§123456
Shift+§123456
Alt+§123456
Ctrl+§123456
QERTFGZXCV
Shift+QERTFGZXCV
Alt+QERTFGZXCV
Ctrl+QERTFGZXCV
Mouse 3 and Mouse 4/5
Middle Mouse Button
Scroll Up and Down
Shift+WASD
Alt+WASD
Ctrl+WASD
Decide on WASD or ESDF as your movement keys then fill the keys up around them with binds. You should put abilities you use most often in the most accessible (close) places, and with no modifiers. Things you use less often, further away and/or with modifiers. And put important things on mouse buttons as well if you use a mouse with extra buttons, they are very convenient and your mouse hand has much more freedom. I actually entered things into a spreadsheet using the cells as a rough button layout and put things in and changed my whole layout.
My hunter setup (not all of my binds, and some switch depending on spec):
1: Cobra
Shift+1: Kill Shot
2: Explosive/KC
Shift+2: Serpent Sting
3: Arcane
Shift+3: Tier4 Talent (Dire Beast/Fervor)
4: Black Arrow/Focus Fire
Shift+4: Scatter
5: Tier6 Talent (GT/Barrage/Powershot)
6: Tier5 Talent (AMoC/Lynx/Blink)
7: Concussive
8: Mend pet
V: Multi-shot
E: Feign
Q: Grouped cooldowns
Shift+E: Misdirect
Ctrl+E: Pet "move to"
F: Flare
Shift+F: Frost trap
R: Hunter's Mark
T: Situational/Boss specific macros
Shift+T: Potion
Shift+R: Exp. Trap
Alt+Mouse5: Tier2 Talent (Silence/Wyvern/Binding)
Shift+Mouse5: Disengage
Mouse4: Deterrence
Ctrl+Mouse4: Freeze Trap
Shift+Mouse4: Readiness
Mouse6: Bestial wrath
Mousewheel left: Aspects OPIE (addon) ring
Mousewheel right: Camo
Alt+Mouse4: Master's call
`: Pet attack
Shift+`: pet follow
Lots more I'm probably forgetting...
1-7, Razer Naga's Mouse4/5 (Index Finger Buttons), VQE
A + D into strafe.
Control+1-7, Razer Naga's Mouse4/5 (Index Finger Buttons), VQE
Naga side buttons= ALT+1234567890-=
Currently Procrastinating
the most used keybinds and easy to access are the following:
1, 2, 3 ,4, 5
q, e, r, t, f, g
z, x, c, v
then depending on the mouse you have you can get 4/5 keybinds more unless you use razer naga in which case you get a lot more.
now if you start trowing in modifier keybinds... you get the drift.
A little tip: keybind left strave to button A and keybind strave right to button D. Having your strave buttons keybinded instead of turn left/right increases mobility and frees up Q and E.
Disclaimer copied from my guide in the druid section.
Edit movement: Strafe run!Before you start here you need to know that.
• This might not be optimal for you
• This is stil my personal preference and experience regarding being a melee
• This will favor being a melee dps preforming a rotation without having impact on your movement
Firstly you need to ask yourself if your comfortable with your keybinds?
Are you a clicking spells?
Do you have everything you frequently use and/or could use?
First if you have been playing since 7 years back and still use the same keybinds dose that mean they are the most optimal? No… Just because your used to them and have been mashing a few keyboards in your days dose not mean this is the “best” way of doing it.
Before you read any further on this section if you know you are a clicker and will go back don’t waste time reading this part.
First most things are in different sizes like us some having big as hands some don’t.
Most important thing is that you can play comfortable.
Firstly I am probably not the first one to mention, if I am then I am glad you hear it
WASD id not FOR THE WIN… ESDF should be used for movement because all of a sudden Z A W turned into great keybinds and Q remains decent.
-But Etapic I can’ reach Shift,Alt as good as before…You should be using your modifiers on your mouse! I don’t tell you to go and buy a 17 button MMO mouse like Razor Naga but you should at least have a mouse with buttons for your thumb.
Now you will use ESDF for movement what about the rest?
Arguably best bind would be on your mouse BUT I am using a razor naga myself I do not recommend using to many because, 10 11 12 for me is shity to use often. On that mouse the behinds behind the scroll is WONDERFUL I mean what are your Middle Finger doing more then chilling on your scroll wheel?
Good keybinds are: A, Z, < or > whatever you call that button, and Space. Yes space is a perfect button for frequent used abilities yes your room mates might hate you if you be spamming space but it as good. Now what about jump? I hope you don’t backpaddle ONLY exception is if you would be a tank… Kittens aren’t tanks only because our hunter Misdirect us doesn’t mean we shall backpaddle. However D is a perfect jump key, it will feel weird but get used to it! And you should not be using D for something anyways… Right? Also scroll wheel back front left right like whatever your mouse allows you to.
Decent keybinds
And bad but usable keybinds
Modifiers
Now what do I bind on good,decent,bad but usable keybinds?
Good: Spells that is used often and wouldn’t hurt to missclick like Time Wrap on G and a often used spell on F not a good idea is it? This spells are rotational abilities BUT also WTF buttons for example Healthstone, Survival Instinct, Vanish, Ice Block. This binds are good because you will not be leaving ESDF that is used for movement and jumping.
Decent: Here you will need to move fingers away from your movement, This binds should be spells that needs to be used quick and with an 5-20 second CD on. Examples Interrupt, Wild Growth, Swiftmend, Mind Blast, Finishers, And AoE, Encounter button for Heroic Will example.
Bad but useable: Everything that is used in combat but can be planned long before you will use them, Cooldowns
