Help on refreshing keybinds (PvP)

[Deleted]

Hi there, Im a ≈2k rogue, and im starting to get annoyed by my keybinds, they are all messy and clustered, so I'm gonna post them here and if you want, you could give me some feedback and ideas about how to improve them! Thanks in advance.

FYI Im using Q and E as strafing keys and mouse to turn of course, a mouse which only has 3 buttons and a keyboard which I cant use F-keys cause it has something to do with Mac(obviously I have a Mac).

§ (Which is the key left to "1"). Stealth
1. Backstab
2. Gouge
3. Sprint
4. Kidney shot
5. Eviscerate
6. Rupture
A. Recuperate
D. Shadowstep
X. Fan of Knives
C. Redirect
V. Racial (shadowmeld in my case)
F. Kick
R. Blind
T. Preparation
G. Combat Readiness

With Ctrl:

1. Hemorrhage
2. Focus Gouge
3. Focus Shadowstep Kick
4. Focus Dismantle
Tab. Shadow Dance
R. Focus Redirect Kindey

With Shift:

1. Dismantle
2. Vanish
3. Cloak of Shadows
4. Evasion
F. Focus Kick
R. Focus Blind
G. Thrown
T. Deadly Throw
A. Slice and Dice
D. Shiv
Z. TotT macro
§. Mount macro

With Alt:

1. Make focus target
G. Smoke Bomb

That was all and I hope u could help me with this issue! Thanks! Ps. I might have forgotten something!

its really all personal preference. work out whatever you find the best.
For example, i have the weirdest set of keybinds, but they work incredibly well for me, because i'm used to it, and it works best for me.

Note that i assigned Alt on my 5th mouse button.

R = Forward
S = Strafe Left
G = Strafe Right

E = Eviscerate/
Alt E = Envenom
T = Kidney Shot/Cheap Shot
Alt T = Expose Armor
Y = Hemorrage
Alt Y = Shiv
V = Backstab/Ambush
Alt V = Smoke Bomb
5 = Stealth
Alt 5 = Vanish
6 = Rupture/Garrote
Alt 6 = Slice and Dice
4 = Sprint
Alt 4 = Darkflight (Worgen racial sprint)
3 = Evasion
Alt 3 = Combat Readiness
D = Blind
Alt D = Focus Blind
H = Shadowstep
Alt H = Shadow Dance
J = Fan of Knifes
Alt J = Gouge
N = Cloak of Shadows
B = Kick/Sap
Alt B = Focus Kick
C = Recuperate
Alt C = PvP trinket
X = Tricks of the Trade
Q = Deadly Throw/Sap
Alt Q = Throw
Z = Premeditation
Alt Z = Preperation
U = Dismantle
Alt U = Redirect
2 = Mount

i am also a mac user and you can make your function keys work in-game by going to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> And check the box saying "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys".

#1. Get a PC.
#2. Get a Logitech Mx518.

I'm not sure if your fingers curl underneath your hand in unnatural movements as my friend did, seeing as you have X in your keybinds. As a rule of thumb, I never go below the mid-line for bindings or past the letter G, and I try to avoid alt modifiers. That said, here's an example of my shit:

Mouse:
MM : Gouge/Garrote
M4 : Rupture
M5 : Eviscerate
M6 : Shiv(Hemo)/Cheap Shot
M7 : Slice and Dice
M8 : Expose Armor
Shift-MM : Distract
Shift-M4 : Deadly Throw
Shift-M5 : Envenom
Shift-M6 : Dismantle
Shift-M7 : Cloak
Shift-M8 : Vanish
Ctrl-MM : Tricks macro
Ctrl-M4 : Fan
Ctrl-M5 :
Ctrl-M6 : Redirect
Ctrl-M7 : Parachute
Ctrl-M8 :

Keyboard: (To make this shorter pattern is the normal key, then Shift, then Ctrl modifiers)
1 : Stealth
2 : Combat Readiness/Pick Pocket, Evasion
3 : Recuperate, Bandaid, Potion
4 : Trinket #1 (PVP), Trinket #2 (if I have another on use)
Q : Mutilate(Backstab)/Ambush, Cold Blood
E : Kidney Shot/Sap Macro, Blind, Smoke Bomb
R : Kick/Normal Sap, Arcane Torrent, Glove Tinkering
F : Feint, Sprint
G : Backstab (when mutilate, Shiv when not), Prep
Tilde : Shadowdance/PVP flag

I can't remember if that's everything, all I know is that I have about fifty active keybinds on my rogue.

I never really worry about people's specific keybinds unless you're managing to fat-finger something on a constant basis or an ability seems a bit out of reach.
For example, my hands are slightly on the smaller side so using keybinds with CTRL are a bit of a hassle. Instead I've utilized more binds with ALT and I also use capslock(probably my favorite bind for some reason).

#1. Get a PC.

Surely its a matter of personal preference what they run WoW on? Rather than trolling "get a pc". Mac are a perfectly good machine for handling WoW so i don't see the point in that comment.
