Clickers Vs Key binders??
This has always been a Hot topic among the players of WoW, Clicking the abilities or Key binding it or simply CLICKERS Vs KEY BINDERS.
There are many Articles out there which tell the same thing that
binding your keys in wow will surely help you Excel in your game.
I would like to point out some things:
Clickers will always find some excuse backing why 'Clicking is Better'.But Key binders will never say that Clicking is better, because they know the advantages of key binding.binding your keys is not essential for PvE but it will play a major role in PvP.Turning with your keyboard is Too BAD.(in 99.99% of cases you should use your mouse to turn mostly in PvP, otherwise you'll end up Like a comic)
Three things you Should keep in mind for Successful Key bindings:
Take your Time: You don't have to bind
all your abilities at once, Start with few abilities and then you can
keep adding more as you start learning to learn your key binds and start
to feel the fluidness with your keys. You can even Bind Most of your
Abilities at once, Make Note On the each keys and the ability it is
bind with & stick it near your monitor so you can refer it while
playing your game.Easily Accessible Keys: always
use easily accessible keys to bind your abilities. Don't use
Ctrl+shift+C or something like that Because it's pointless and impossible to
press with a single hand.Frequency of Spells:
Bind the spells which you use most often. If your starting new then
don't bind spells with long cool downs and that aren't that essential
like Water Elemental or Innervate. After you get used to the key bindings
you could start binding some more commonly used spells: Main damaging abilities
(hemorrhage, frostbolt, etc)., CC (fear,
polymorph, frost nova, psychic scream.. etc), healing spells (lifebloom, prayer of mending, flash of light... etc)
Some important spells which you should consider to Bind:
Interrupts: Kick, Pummel, Counterspell - you should never ever miss
these spells. It's so important and absolutely crucial to use them at the right time in
PvP, and can easily be the number one factor in winning or loosing arena matches.Immunities: Divine Shield or Ice Block - these are also important that you use them at the right moment.Snares: Hamstring, Shiv - like interrupts, these are the abilities which could easily define the skill level of a player.Goojfc: like immunities yet different - Nature's Swiftness, Death Coil, Intimidating Shout, Blind.Trinket: According to me its the most important PvP item, and should definitely have a spot on your keyboard.
Keyboard Layout
The keyboard template image: Keyboard Template
W, S, A, D: standard keys for moving. Some might use E,S,D,F for more keys on either side to bind but in the end its up to you.Tab key: by default it is used to switch to your nearest target enemy, and I don't recommend changing it. Sometimes you just can't click
on the player on the battlefield, or if your using the Proximo add-on, it sometimes stops working at that time it can come handy.
R: default key for replying to whispers.Green keys: the most accessible keys and most easy to start with.Yellow keys: less accessible but still close enough.Purple keys: default keys to target party membersShift, Control, Alt (Command in mac)
- these are the modifier keys marked with red color on the image which
can be used in combination with other keys. For example, you could use
"z" for Frostbolt, and "Shift+z" for Fireball.
You could even bind some spells to your Mouse ( to your Mouse wheel or if you have some extra buttons on the side ). You can actually set 3 things in the
Mouse wheel like:
Wheel Up: pet attackWheel Down: pet followMiddle Click: autorun
If you Don't want to waste time in key binding all your character Or
wanted a software or add-on which could automatically bind the best
macros and key binds for your class Or Ever wanted to use key binds that
