learning keybinds for pvp

[Deleted]

ive bound my keys to favorite abilities as there no actual guidefor that just recommendations, what i want to know is do i need w as move forward and q+e as strafe or a+d as strafe to be good in random bg's or is the strafe thing optional

[Deleted]

well wasd is good to keep and you can bind q e r t f g c v and alt and shift combinations with them since you can easilly strafe with holding right mose down ale turning to side

[klaps_05]

it doesnt rly matter which option u`ll choose, but afaik most people go for WSQE strafes or standard WSAD with rightbutton strafe.

best way to "learn" them - play shitton of random bgs.

Big hands help! i;ve got about 58 bindings for everything from Levitate to water and food, wands and mounts :I

But, it's taken me about 1 year to get used to them all. I started out with 3 bindings, and as times arose were i needed to use a skill or item that i needed to click for, i got more and more annoyed to the point were i would make a bindings for it. :P

And that's how i got 58. (as well as targeting bindings ans such, like tarparty 1 is wheel up and tarparty 2 is wheel down. dispelling is the same just with a shift mod for up and down :P)

WASD is what I use to move, I bind Q + E to Bubble + Wings, Then I bind T J Z X 1 2 3 4 and shift then ctrl of the numbers mentioned.

yes but having wsad as movement keys is subtracting the amount of single binded keys on my keyboard as i dnt like pressing the modifers alot there for like my not used alot kind of abilities my single keys are for my main roatation and well used abilities

a & d for strafe (don't bother binding turning again), keep w as move forward.
now use 1-6, q, e, r, t, y, f,g ,h,c,v with modifiers shift ctrl & alt or even double modifiers (example: shift+alt+e) for all abilities. It depends on your keyboard really but this way suits me best.

Well you can't strafe without binding either A/D or Q/E to it, as far as I'm aware.

I will show you my binds i did not learn these binds in 1 hour 1 day 1 month it takes time to learn binds i dont know the exact time but i do know if you keep doing something repeat repeat you learn it easily..

My advise to you is learn 3 binds per 3 days or something yes and by learn i mean put your 3 HIGHEST PRIORITY spells into those binds so you HAVE to use them all the time.. once you are comfortable with the binds you hand can reach them and you know how to press them WITHOUT looking @ the keyboard them move onto the next 3 binds and repeat..

There is no limit to keybinds you can use any combination for any spell or cast or anything

The best place to learn binds is pvp BG, Raiding or dungeons

You can do that without s.. well if you have a mouse anyway. I still got s bound for backpeddling but never use it. It's a waste of a good keybind thinking about it..

im getting a naga soon so it will make binding alot easier

[Evolixe]

Personal preferance. Thats all i can say.

We cannot say what is best for you.

All we can do is tell you where you can bind, the rest, is up to you.

I would suggest taking a look at the following thread:
http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...How-To-Keybind

Great guide on keybinds -- Includes graphics and all!

ctrl q - shadowflame

damn, do you miss shadowflames often? that would be too tricky for me to get off with a modifier key while doing 180's to face enemies while kiting them

i heard fury is easier to bind abilities to in pvp is this true
