@ Good Arms players: What are your keybinds?

[Kantoro]

Its all about what you get used to using.

[Drtydeeds]

Can you please share your Fury keybinds as well? I always wonder how people are moving their toon around... I use W, A, D...so using 1, 2, 3, etc has always been tough to use.

thanks

Hey Atrainx,

I have nearly ever key 'rotational' ability bound on my mouse (Razer Lachesis). Here's a quick rundown:

MWheelUp - Furious Slash
MWheeldown - Raging Blow
Mouse4 - Bloodthrist
Mouse5 - Rampage
Shift+Mouse5 - Execute
E - Heroic Throw
F - Battle Cry + Avatar + Bloodthirst
X - Commanding Shout
Shift + X - Potion
Q - Whirlwind
Z - Healthstone
Shift + Z - Healing Potion
Shift + 1 - Charge
Shift + 2 - Heroic Leap
Shift + MwheelUp - Dragon Roar
Shift + R - Shockwave
Ctrl + 4 - Racial ability
Shift + Mouse3 - Intimidating Shout
Ctrl + Mouse3 - Enraged Regeneration
Mouse 3 - Pummel
Alt + Mouse3 = Piercing Howl

I think that's about it... lol.

I have ms scroll wheel up. Slam scroll wheel down. CS alt+scroll wheel up. Execute alt+scroll wheel down. Basically very thing else is tied to my Naga keys with utility's bound to 12345

For Arms the big issue in my mind is dealing with FR being off the GCD. The best solution I've found is the same one a bunch of others have posted. Put FR on your mouse somewhere (I have it on mousewheel down) and then your left hand is GCD abilities only. This ended up working so well, that I ended up moving Ignore Pain to my mousewheel down also for Prot. Having GCD stuff on left hand and non GCD stuff on mouse works out pretty good for me and reduces the feeling of constant spamming on the left hand.

Can not live without Q and E to strafe walk. So used to it by now. As such I use 1234 and Shift 1234 for most rotational abilities (mapping "equivalent" AoE spells to Shift):

1: MS 2: Slam 3: CS 4: Avatar
S1: Leap S2: WW S3: SK S4: FR

I use the Middle Mouse Button for Charge and another button on my mouse for Interrupt. Everything else just get's thrown around randomly and shifts position here and there. Where to place my Execute for example is something I waste way too much time for.

[Mateng]

R- CS
3 - MS
E- Slam
Q- FR
T- Avatar/BC/orc racial
C- BC
1- Execute
shift 1- Execute + FR
2 - WW
V - cleave
Shift E- WB
G- Bladestorm

[Sombervain]

I use SDF for movement (no backward). Yeah, takes a week to build up muscle memory for this!
I click Q>W>E at almost the same time when BC comes off CD, with CS/SD debuff and 2x FR stacks already in place.

What do you think about this?

Q - BC+Avatar Macro (yes, it shows only BC in tooltip).
Alt+Q - same as Q, but with Potion of the old War included (for execute phase).
5 - same as Q, but without Avatar (in case you want to save Avatar for execute phase mid-fight).

Unbind alt+W and alt+E so that you can hold Alt while hitting QWE at once.

[jessegreathouse]

Its all about what you get used to using.

This. Other people's keybinds are essentially meaningless because they don't have the biomechanical preconditioning that you do.

Also, if you're used to playing a bunch of alts you probably already do this, but its good to keep the abilities that do the same thing, on the same keybinds across your different alts (obviously there are some exceptions). For instance most specs have an interrupt of some kind, so I'll keep pummel on the same keybind that I use on my mage for counterspell, and my rogue for kick, etc... This ensures that as I switch to different characters, performing the same function is also on the same key. So my filler, like slam, is on the same key as mind flay for my priest, and crusader strike for my pally, etc... It creates a very small cognitive burden while frequently switching to a bunch of different characters.

I have rotational abilities on my mouse and got my FR and other cd's 123456

i am still sometimes pressing my disarm button y (z on american layout), but its not used atm.

ae-Fear is shift +f

doing fine with it, fr is just like former cleave / heroic strike on mousewheel, and nothing else changed since like classic wow, only that a lot of binds got freed up since then.

[Eriasu]

1 - CS
2 - MS
3 - Slam
4 - Cleave
5 - WW
E - FR
F - CHARGE
A - EXECUTE
Mouse button 1 - AVATAR/BC/TRINKET
Mouse button 2 - INTERRUPT
mousewheel click - heroic leap(which is an amazing bind for it btw)

[Sajakain]

For all my characters and specs, I use the Logitech G13 gamepad. It took me a bit to get used to it (switching from the keyboard) but I find it, personally, much more efficient if you can invest in the extra hardware. I'm able to use it for any class, any spec.



The buttons are set up as "macros" that mimic the keybinds you set to them.

[Deleted]

1-slam
2-CS
3-MS
