PvP destro Keybinding beginner

[Nangz]

My warlock is only level 73 atm

but i plan on pvping heavily at 80 and thus want to learn how to keybind correctly especially since i just got engineering maxed so i feel like i have so much more to click now.

Currently i use a system that uses lots of strafing and i don't turn with the keyboard i use the mouse but i still click all my spells.

Im mostly confused about how to specifically bind my keys and how with all these binded do i move.

Do i use wsad? edsf? full mouse? i tend to strafe alot while playing and am struggling to figure out how to do all of this

i know i should start small so i'm starting with using

chaos bolt
incinerate
conflag
immolate
pyro rocket

and that's all

i currently use the default UI when it comes to action bars but if there is somethign else required i'd love to har it

note: i play a dk as my main and a druid as another alt andd i do not wish to change so much that i cna't play them in the way i do now


any help would be amazing!

haha wow what a nice addon.

back to topic:
I use ASDX for moving, and then QWER ASDF and all keys around it for abilities (also I am very heavy on shift modifiers ie Shift+D, and alt)

also at level 80 you will gain the most important warlock ability ever, demonic portal. I have mine keybinded to Alt `and Alt 1 because I can always blindly hit those keys without looking or using any reaction time. It's two spells, one to port, one to put down a portal and you will use these alot, so make sure you put those on meaningful keybinds

i use ASDF for movement

Destruction

this combination leaves room for immolate / conflag lag, which provides with the sweet choas bolt + conflag boom boom followed by a quick incinerate, if you can get this off you can most likly win.

1 - immolate
2 - choas bolt
3 - conflag
4 - incinerate
5 - frostweave net (if your a tailor)
6 - death coil
v - life tap

if you have a mouse with a side button(s)

mouse4 = free incinerate / sb
shift + mouse 4 = howl of terror
ctrl + nouse 4 = fear

shift + v = use portal
ctrl + v = drop portal

tab = drain life
caplock = CoE

everything else is clickable with mouse

Affliction

1 - haunt
2 - Unstable affliction
3 - corruption
4 - coa
5 - frostweave net (if your a tailor)
6 - death coil

v - life tap

if you have a mouse with a side button(s)

mouse4 = free incinerate / sb
shift + mouse 4 = howl of terror (yay instant)
ctrl + nouse 4 = fear

shift + v = use portal
ctrl + v = drop portal

tab = drain soul
caplock = drain life

everything else is clickable with mouse

Don't take the keybinds of some else. Its bad idea. Noone can tell YOU the keybinds that fit well for YOU. But i can tell you good places to bind things on that often get overlooked. (EU keyboard)
Considering WAD movement:

^12345 (and with alt and control modifier!)
QERTFYXCVBGH (and with alt and control modifier!)
control + space (very nice keybind that often gets overlooked)
Mousewheel and additional mousebuttons (with modifiers)
shift + qweasd
F1-F4

Edit:

I like it to bind the most used spells on the best acessible keys. So 123 + QER are good places to bind your Immolate/Icinerate/Chaosbolt/Conflag/Lifetap.

Wow, you guys have some fucked up bindings.

q = RoF
e = shadowflame
1 = incin
2 = curse
3 = immo
4 = CB
5 = fear
6 = shadowfury
g = conflag
t = lifetap
f = deathcoil
c = shadow ward
v = rockets

There are no "fucked up" binds, there are binds that work for you or binds that don't work. Because of that its useless, that you guys post your binds, everyone has to do his binds for himself.

I think he meant the huge amount of keybinds some people posted here.


@Topic:

try to find your best keybindings but gather information from other players like you did here.
Use buttons close to your movement keys. If you use wasd for moving, qerfyxcv would be perfect. ^1234 and f1, f2, f3, f4 are nearly mandatory. I would recommend you to get used to a few keybinds for your main spells.
For a destruction lock that would be: incinerate, corruption, chaos bolt, curse (agony, elements), conflag, immolate, shadowfury, fear, death coil, howl of terror, shadowflame and life tap.
If you got more experience add engineering things, shadow ward, portal (2 buttons: for summon and port) and drain life.

I use shift-modifiers for 1-4, q, e, r and f. You see you got a huge amount of possible bindings.
