[PVP] char with least keybinds

[Crieve]

Let's see:

Arcane Blast
Arcane Missiles
Arcane Barage

Mirror Images
Arcane Power
The one that makes your next spell an instant cast
Mana gem
Evocation

That's 8. Not very much.

That's only 6 if you macro in the two dps increasing spells into Arcane Blast since the don't go on the GCD for arcane.

This is kinda a hard question to answer, since it depends on spec, play style, etc. Pretty much everyone has a lot of key binds, especially the higher up you go in competitive pvp. I thought I would get serious about arena in 4.0.6, then I tried to bind my abilities to be in easy reach, and failed horribly.

First time I ever thought about buying a better gaming mouse. Still might, my friend loves his.

Bull**** flag thrown.

Some of the highest-rated people I've ever had the opportunity to watch play had fairly few keybinds, at least compared to myself (feral engineer solo pvper).

Check Neilyo's recent video or any of the long-term high-rated ferals, like whatsisname and the other guy. Sorry I'm a bit tipsy.

Well, sorry, I just gave my opinion

[MisterSheep]

Never understood why people say ''more keybinds = more skills''

/sigh

I personnaly thought only the result was important. If you have 60+ keybinds? 20-30 keybinds? 7 maybe? maybe you click? I don't think it really matters at this point if you still win.

[Litterbox]

To all of you who say that an Arcane mage only have a few keybinds. Bugger off.
Why on earth would an arcane mage only bind his or hers offensive abillities? An arcane mage has no use of CoC, nova, sheep, remove curse, ice block, mana shield or any other defensive abillity. Nono. Arcane mages are like glass canons - yes they nuke the shit out of you, but if you get within 10 yards of them, they die simply by poking them.
Wake up, morons.

And no, I don't pvp as arcane, I pvp as fire.

l2whine.

OT: I have every single abillity bound. Every. But it doesn't matter how many you have - You can still perform without.

[Searsha]

I think of all the characters I have my ret has the least binds:

Crusader Strike

I also have a feral who has a ton of binds and I don't feel like listing them all. Hope I helped.

I would say hands down a Frost DK. You only use a few buttons most of the time and you dont have a massive amount or or even a large amount of situational buttons. I think on my Frost DK I actually went through my spellbook 5 times because it didnt seem possible I couldnt even fill my action bars. I have gaps and holes everywhere which is nice when you want an easy spec that is also overly strong.

On my Hunter and priest I have combined quite a few situational buttons to make room because it was simply overwhelming. Ret also has a lot of situational and targeting macros needed. DKs do not offer much in the way of casting anything on others so you dont need to topple that hill. Being a DPS that has 99.90% sefl-only abilities makes the class easierto manage and play.

Yup with you entirely. When setting up a dk on tourn, i actually spent 15 minutes looking through my spellbook because i thought i was missing a bunch of binds.
Had already set up all the focus macros etc as well.

Clueless pve ppl why do they come to pvp forums?

[djtoxic]

hiya guys i wonder if some1 can help me i recently came back to the game after long break and i want to lvl a new char from scratch to try get myself out of the clicking and keyboard turning habits ive bought myself a naga mouse to try help but i just want a char that doesnt have to many keybinds so if any1 can point in right direction of a class to play without loads binds thanks

SERIOUSLY PEOPLE?

Can't you all see the OBVIOUS TROLL BAIT this is?

Is it that difficult? The spelling? The fact he knows about clicking and keyboard turning? That he bought a "Naga" mouse (AKA fake pay2win) to get "pro"?.

Anyway, back to my business, I just had to say this.

[Deleted]

You do realize this is the PvP forums, right? Arcane isnt a very strong PvP spec at all.

That doesn't mean it's not the simplest spec. People do still play it in battlegrounds for some reason I can't discern.

We use Arcane mage in our Rated BG

Yah, Arcane is extremely popular in RBG's. RNG crits lead to FC kills.

Yup, been hit by a 40k arcane blast. Only once and the guy didn't have berserking. Guess he was buffed to the gills or something. (vs 3.6k resi)

[Stanton Biston]

Like not one person actually mentioned binding trinkets and racials.

Anyways, this thread has run it's course into the ground.
