does Druid have a lot of keybinds?

[Enclave]

Im thinking of rolling one and I was just wondering, my current chars are warlock and mage and im pretty capped on my binds on them
Does druid have more keys than those classes?

[naeblis495]

if you want to play at the highest level and use EVERY part of the huge druid toolkit : then yes , they have a lot.

I have a mage alt and the answer is it depends.
Have you keyboard all portals and telports? In that case no.

If you are taking about usable abilities, it depends on spec. I'd say resto has about 5 more buttons to press depending on talents

[xentury]

Of my 3 main classes the druid has the 2nd most keybinds, but as stated above how you play will effect that amount. How Druid is designed you are essentially, in a way, playing 2 or more specs in one and therefor more kbs are required along with a lot of useage of the paging system.

My hunter with engineering seems to have the most keybinds... my mage by far the least.

[Echeyakee]

It's not that bad. You have a lot of buttons, but a good chunk are behind different forms, so they can share binds with other spells.

the ones i listed i have keybinds for above, can all be used in Moonkin

Yes. Druids have definitly more keybinds than mages and (IIRC) also more than warlocks. It all depends, though. What spec do you intend to play in which game mode, and what are your aspirations?

Guardian has the fewest keybinds, whereas resto has many more. You can get away with not using your full kit if you don't want to push high end content. If you do, though, you'll probably also add various macros. I use arena 123 macros for most abilities on my feral, meaning you have three buttons for most of your targeted abilities. That's quite a few keybinds.

For the sake of brevity: If you're concerned about keybinds, don't play druid.

[Tyze]

I think druid has the most abilities of all classes, considered it has 4 specs.

Do you use all? No.. But in pvp you'll use more

Just a heads up, you can basically combine Revive, Rebirth and Regrowth into one keybind by checking if the target is dead and if you're in combat.
/use [@mouseover,dead,combat][dead,combat]Rebirth;[@mouseover,dead][dead]Revive;[@mouseover,help][]Regrowth

I also tend to combine trinket and CA
#showtooltip
/use 14
/cast [talent:5/1] Celestial Alignment; [talent:5/2] Celestial Alignment; [talent:5/3] Incarnation: Chosen of Elune

[flepser]

As resto I'm usually using about 25 keybinds but can get up having to use 36 in a fight, but often this won't be needed at all.
This includes uses of Shadowmeld and Soothe e.g.

[Zoibert the Bear]

I play Feral in PvP and if you're serious about it, it's got a metric ton of keybinds you need to take care of. If you take arena macros into consideration it gets pretty crazy if you want to maximize and use its full potential.

[Ihazpaws]

If you use macros for focus/mouseover and so on then druid has most buttons in game hunter and warlock comes far behind as a second and third. When I played mostly only druid as a main 10 years ago, I had 116 keybinds. Now around 30 is enough.

Couldn't you simplify the latter to "/cast [talent:5/3] Incarnation: Chosen of Elune; Celestial Alignment"?

That's actually pretty clever.

[Vilendor]

As a feral i use 26 keybinds. And they are in use all the time, like "at least once/boss" buttons

Not as bad as MW monk where i macro'd healing spells and attacks based on mouseover/selection.

But nah druid isn't really as loaded as many people think. Many spells can only be used in some forms, so you will have more action bars in total too, which reduces the need for too many keybinds.

[Lodravel]

How are people getting by on less than 30 keybinds? With everything bound, I come up to roughly 40 keybinds - and that's just the class abilities.
On top of that there's engi-stuff/potions, trinkets, and macros.

No doubt you can get away with less. But if it can be helped, I like to play optimally.

Which warlock spec? Destro has significantly fewer keys than demo, which has fewer than affli.

What if I want to heal someone with regrowth and he dies just as I'm about to click, and now I wasted rebirth

That doesn't invalidate anything, because Rebirth has a cast time which you can cancel and should you still be bothered by it (like I would be) you probably won't mind having an additional keybind in exchange for that smidgeon of control.

My rebirth is on a keybind which I wouldn't put anything else on anyway. Bit out of reach, but still accessible enough to be pressed reliably in a frantic situation.
