Just a suggestion. Instead of using shift use alt. Alt key can be used as combination key and is close to the thumb which makes it more comfortable. Also considering that we have macros there are more than enough keys to not use the last section of keys that were suggested.

ESDF + the mouse binds you mentioned, and W, R, T, G, and Y are my tier-S binds. My situational binds for CDs, defensives, offensives and interrupts are bound to Q, A, Z, V, B + 3, 4 and 5 with shift modifiers. Like you said at the beginning of your video, the core concept works with both the traditional and alternative hand positions. Cheers!

@MrTacticsTV 8 месяцев назад

ESDF for movement is literally S tier. Hand already wants to sit in home position for typing. Just makes so much sense.

@LinusWinther 8 месяцев назад

ESDF opens up not just 1234QERF to S-tier but instead 2345AQWRTG as S-tier. As an old Quake 3 player, ESDF was the only way to go. I really don't get how WASD became the default in all games.

@mattrg320 3 месяца назад

I think ESDF is the better way to play. If I could go back in time back to 2004 and tell myself to use ESDF, I would. Unfortunately, I'm too old of a dog to change my ways from WASD. It's obviously never too late to change and learn ESDF, but try telling that to my brain. Huge props to anyone who plays ESDF- you guys know what's up.

@yetti3825 5 месяцев назад

I use 'S' as move forward and 'X' as move backwards (ctrl + x is my swim/fly down, or sit... I rarely use it, but it's still easy to hit). This opens "Q,W,E,R" as a single row of S tier hotkeys, as well as "~,1,2,3,4" as A tier keybinds. I found that 'F' and 'C' and also keys that are super easy to hit, and even 'Z' is a very easy to hit key for the somewhat less common spell. Combine that with mostly just the Shift modifier gives me 24 keys that I barely have to stretch my fingers at all for. I use the Ctrl modifier for some things. I also have an MMO mouse, so I never have to click a spell ever. Everything has it's place. Quazii, you are an absolute gift to the community, and you have the best tutorials around no matter what the material you are trying to teach.

@-ZeusLeague 4 месяца назад

You dont do any favors to your hand by switching your keybinds that way tho, the A keys have no directional difference to S meaning S to A are both on top making it easier to miss click in the heat of the battle. I had tried this myself once in the past, but it was really inefficient. You're also losing 2 more S tier keys. But if that suits you then it's fine.

@Kiaroh-Zen 2 месяца назад

Years ago I swapped to S as forwards and X as backwards. It's a much more comfortable resting position for my hand. I sympathize with all the things you said here, I'm happy to hear someone else runs this setup! Haha

@Lucifaar Месяц назад

I tried swapping to ESDF instead of WASD cause it was much easier to transition from playing a game, to typing in chat. There's also the added benefit of freeing up a couple keys on your left, and making more keys on your right more easily accessable.

@Lucifaar Месяц назад

@@-ZeusLeague I think using ESDF is superior to just using S for forward and x for backward.

Consider getting a gamepad for playing games on instead of a normal keyboard. Something like the ZSA moonlander, Azeron Cyborg, or the Razer tartarus. They are kinda pricey but will save your hand and tendon health later down the line. The ZSA personally helped me a lot with my tendonitis.

@ShyRaiGaming 8 месяцев назад

I use E,S,D,F for my movement. E Foward , and D for Backpedal ( I mainly Tank ) and use strafe left and right with S & F. This moves my left hand over a little allowing me to reach more keybinds. While still being able to use shift, ctrl modifiers. I play all classes too, I have a corsair scimitar. SOO Good :) This is informative!

@quintit 7 месяцев назад

Was going to comment this because this is the way. I've considered using rdfg even. Those 3 extra binds make a huge difference. Also, alt binds with your thumb are super easy to press. Ctrl pinkie is a bitch, for example alt + qwraf-1234 are all very comfortable binds for me.

@skkim0217 6 месяцев назад

do you tab target? or click/cursor over?

@Lucifaar Месяц назад

The best thing I ever did for wow (and every other game) was to ditch the standard keyboard and go for a gamepad. That way I had way more keys within easy reach, and I never had to touch my normal keyboard except to type in chat. It also allowed me to have my arms shoulder width apart for my big ole barrel chest lol. I started with the razer tartarus initially, but eventually swapped to the azeron cyborg. The tartarus is good for every game except for an MMO lol; there aren't enough buttons for an mmo, although for an fps or something it would be perfect. The azeron was great as well, but although it was way more comfortable than the razer one (i would highly recommend this one over the razer), it still suffered from the same problem: not enough keys for an mmo and took up too much desk space. I am currently using the Moonlander split keyboard and it's a joy to use. It takes some time to get used to but my finger fatigue dropped significantly. The other two options are still great choices but I didn't like how much desk space they took up in addition to a normal keyboard, so the moonlander was a nice middle ground. I still have a full keyboard to type on, but at the same time is more comfortable than a normal keyboard, and my typing speed increased a lot too as an added benefit. Overall, if you go for a gamepad of some kind, a lot of these keybinding issues go away. Honestly the only downside for me is having to rebind all my keys in every game I play lol, but honestly you should be doing that anyway for your own comfort. A gamepad just makes it less optional. Oh and do your self a favour and even if you don't get a gamepad, swap to using ESDF instead of WASD

@hebilicious 3 месяца назад

Interesting setup! Since vanilla I've been playing with my resting fingers on QEW instead of ASD, which makes the distance to the F1->F4 keys much shorter. Which means I tend to use them for defensive cooldowns. I also use alt as a modifier as I find pressing it with my thumb quite easy, but for some reasons I dislike shift-1->shitft-4 and tend to avoid them. I also like to use the numeric pad for non combat abilities. I would also mention that moving with the mouse by pressing the left click + rick click is more precise and more relaxing, and allow you to instantly move in any direction.

@michaelthomas1916 6 месяцев назад

Good stuff! I've been playing since December of 04 but didn't learn to keybind until Legion. What a game changer. I was my guild's MT in Vanilla, and in hindsight can't imagine how we got through it. We beat Ony, MC, ZG, and AQ20 with me tanking. Now that i'm tanking again in SoD, dealing with multi-mob threat in dungeons is so much more manageable.

@SM-vm6xr 8 месяцев назад

@dmca_sucks7000 5 месяцев назад

As someone with an mmo mouse and having shift and control modifiers to get nearly 40 abilities bound to my mouse, leaving turn left and turn right on A, and D is a must for me. Strafe with q, and e is perfect. I feel like getting rid of the turn option limits your ability to maneuver as well. For clarification, i also turn with my mouse, but simultaneously pressing strafe and turn left or right, you get greater control of your character movement then if you got rid of turn left and turn right.

@m4d44 4 месяца назад

I think the same, I just can't get rid of them.

@RinatiGames 4 месяца назад

Personally I use E,D,S,F for forward, backward, left, right respectively. I use A and G for strafe left and strafe right respectively. I bind my main abilities on H,J,K,L,; as well as B,N,M,,,. including U,I,O,P,[ so that I don't have to use the mouse. Don't forget about Tab,Q,W,R,T,Y,Z,X,C,V and 1,2,3,4,5...7,8,9,0,- for unlimited keybinding using Shift + whatever. Try not to use CTRL or Alt because it maybe interfere with other programs such as NVIDIA overlay.

@MrErick1160 8 месяцев назад

Amazing video. Such clear explanation. I would like to add something I've changed recently that has actually improved my reaction time, instead of using 1,2,3,4 for the most impotabilities and E,R,F etc. for the fillers I actually do the opposite, because those keys are incredibly close to our resting fingers.

@Will3DPrint 8 месяцев назад

@@ghostfacedninja1000 correct. I only use my Keyboard for WASD and control and Shift. Nothing else. My mouse handles all my abilities and with the muscle memory that my Interrupt is this certain button. My builders are here. My defensive are with Shift. My offensive are with control. I can’t ever not play without a mmo mouse. To the point that I bought 5 as backups because eventually those side buttons stop working with the constant abuse they get daily. All those button presses eventually add up.

@ChaiMfuko 8 месяцев назад

Thx for showing, I'm doing something similar already, but picked up a few really nice tweaks and nice workflow how to go about binding a new class/spec. Eventhough the spacebar is always for jumping I highly recommend binding it with shift/ctrl/alt modifiers for other stuff!

@Anima18911 4 месяца назад

All of this is accurate unless you play druid, i highly recommend your forms be on mousewheel keybinds. Example cat is always shift mouse up, bear shift mouse down, ctrl up is boomy/treeform, ctrl down is travel form. Regular mouse is as follows up is always a charge like skill, down is always an execute ability.

@technicolorsoultheory3924 8 месяцев назад

Great advice. Watching this, having played for 15 years, feels great knowing ive been keybinding like this since late wrath. I can not stress enough how much of a game changer adding shift and ctrl to augment your s tier keys is. WoW goes through cycles of button bloat as devs trim and mix up classes. getting comfy with those keys really helps you play all the classes from DH to Shaman.

@m4d44 4 месяца назад

I am mounting up Shift+S, this is crucial keybind for me, and this way is really simple and quick.

@JarRules 8 месяцев назад

I guess my keybinds are kinda weird. I put shift, Ctrl, and alt on my mouse with 6 side buttons. Then I use 1-4 as rotation. Shift 1-4 as short CDs. Alt 1-4 long CDs. Ctrl 1-4 for everything else. Q and E are interrupts and defensives. R and F are other utility. G is health pot. Z,X,C,V are mobility and other less used utility. 5, I use for aoe zones like healing rain, efflorescence, death and decay. There is some variance based on class but this is what I found works for me.

@Ilandria. 8 месяцев назад

I play with a Glove80 and Razer Naga with ESDF to move, so my S-Tier for easy-access is massive. It includes all of the numbers, -, =, A, Q, W, R, T, G, `, Z, X, C, V, and B. I also have shift, alt, and ctrl all accessible in any combo using just my left thumb due to the Glove80 keypad, and any combo or single modifier is equally easy to press. I consider any modifier (or modifier combo) plus any of the previously mentioned keys to be my "a-tier" of bindings. There are no lower tiers for me since everything is so accessible and ergonomic. I just make sure to put similar abilities across classes and specs on the same button for muscle memory (T is short cooldown personal defensive, = is interrupt, shift-anything are filler abilities, etc.). For anyone with spare cash wanting to upgrade their setup ergonomically, I highly recommend the above!

@captainexistence 8 месяцев назад

This was a fascinating video, and it's definitely something that's not covered enough by wow content creators. I still play with the very first WoW mmo gaming mouse from 2008 or 09 (I'm on my third one now, hah), and my movement abilities are bound to the side buttons, so character movement is done with the right hand. During Legion, I switched all the action bars from the keyboard over to a Razer Orbweaver Chroma gaming pad, with Alt bound to the thumb button as a modifier.

I use a little diagram of a keyboard with each key having 4 sections to color in (for mod keys). I color it in with a bucket fill tool and it helps find and remember available binds. Also, MB4 and MB5 are good, i use MB5 and shift+mb5 for next/last target. Leaves tab open for a really comfortable bind.

@Sharpester 8 месяцев назад

I've been playing for 16 years, made countless toons on dozens of servers; retail, classic and private. I have exactly TWO keybinds that I assigned for all profiles. (F) is "interact." Much easier and faster than finding my pointer and clicking. (0) on the keypad is my fishing key. I have it set up for casting/catching all in one. No bobber hunting/clicking! All my combat spells are placed on the action bar and triggered by my gaming mouse keypad. Everything else, like trinkets and CDs, are placed on other bars and clicked with the mouse. This allows me to activate all my combat abilities with just my thumb. Aside from any jump mechanics, which I COULD bind to my mouse too, I can clear all content with just one hand on my mouse. I just find it much simpler and quicker. And none of that awful sounding "key spamming" lol. I only press what needs to be pressed exactly when I need it. Maining Warlocks all this time has taught me how to time casts and durations down to the 10ths of a second 🙄

@DaMcGamer 8 месяцев назад

Good info. I'm a leftie so I don't keybind that side of the keyboard - that's for all the non combat stuff. I do put all my keys in a similar fashion using the NumPad, and modify w/CTRL.

@stevin05 8 месяцев назад

Never seen it mentioned in any keybinding guide - use SharpKeys to turn CapsLock into a modifier. CapsLock is my Left-Alt, so no more weird thumb under the hand maneuver. Super comfortable to use CapsLock and the Q-G block or Shift and the A-V block, keeping your pinky in the same relative position to your other fingers. Also has the advantage of never accidentally turning CapsLock on.

@IslandRock 8 месяцев назад

Agree with most, but you can take it one step further. That you actually map a key to a specific effect. Like Taunt, Interupt etc. across all classes you play. As an example i always have interupt on Q, Single target important spell on E and AOE on F. I do like having movement abilities on mouse, mostly I use MB4 and MB5 for this. Very good video BTW. One thing to mention, the buttons V,B,N are also A tier or at least B, the thumb is very close and always positioned there.

I am long time ret pally player who tanks on the sides who click his rotation since start till now, most of my rotational buttons are done through mouse, though i do have ''oh shit'' and situational button on binds via Vuhdo (mouse over). For minority who are much MUCH more proficient with the mouse then your crippled left hand, binding ability via the mouseover route can be beneficial for ya as well, in additional to what Quazii has shared here. For example my WOG is on right click and LOH is on middle click and my rotation goes on 100% becuz our mouse hand can react so much faster then our left hand. GCD limits your ability to press something so as long as you can zip to the nameplate (vuhdo in my case) and middle click (LOH) the name, with practise your mouse would be at the next rotational button before the GCD from your previous ability is up. And yes some of us, our left hand is basically ''crippled'' and we always fat finger buttons with left hand. It's a small handful of us but it works well for anyone struggling with left hands.

@dannyd806 8 месяцев назад

Interesting! I bind A, S, D to Abilities and only use Q,W,E for movement alongside my mouse. I never backpedal with my dps characters as it’s too slow, only with my tank. Oddly enough I made B my backpedal. A bit of a stretch for the thumb but I’ve gotta used to it. Side note: if you want to avoid hitting unintentionally, just pop that key right out of the keyboard! No more yelling at the group because you didn’t notice you had it on 😂. Seriously though, I did that and haven’t had the problem since.

Well, because i am one of those mmo mouse snowflakes. most of the key rotational abilities are on the mouse and... not necessarily the ones accessible by wasd Core Tank: 245 Spender:1, Shift+1 range: 0 mitigation: r, Shift+r heal: 9, Shift+9 Interrupt: 6, Alt interrupts/AoE int: Shift+6, CTRL+6, Alt+6 (Druid... have a lot of... options sometimes) Soothe: Shift+2 Dispel: Shift+4 Speed/movement boost: Keypad 6 personal heals. class major cd, lock rock, potion: Middle Mouse, Shift+MM, CTR+MM Battle Rez: Shift+X Normal Rez: CTRL+X --- Mount Ground: z (travel form druid) Dragon Riding: Shift+z Alternative flying mount: Ctrl+z a few more i may have forgotten but basically. because i primarily use the mouse keybinds, i can throw all the stuff normally near the wasd hand over to un reachable buttons without loosing accessibility. the entire rotation can be done with one hand if needed, But yes, having key keybind buttons the same across all specs and classes makes playing them easier. My Range, melee, and healer may have different core buttons but they all have the same interrupts, dispels , movement, rez mounts personals

Good video overall though. While I've played for 19 years and have naturally made my keybinds very efficient, the idea of tiering them in general makes sense. Good stuff.

@alfonsjanason6872 8 месяцев назад

I have always used ESDF to move around, it opens up alot more keybinds in a closer range. I only use this in WoW tho

@primumNocere 10 дней назад

Might be unaccaptable for some but I also use "S" key for S++ Tier binds such as interrupt. Back pedalling might be valuable for tanking but i`ve noticed that strafing out of mechanics is usually much more efficient.

@sniperdps 8 месяцев назад

Move movements keys one to the right, so it’s E, D, W and R. Then, with your hand one key moved to the left, you can use your pinky on Q, A, Z. Everything else just moves one key to the right, so you just added an additional 3 keys easily available to you.

One thing I've been meaning to relearn on my Boomy is proper key bind mapping. This was my first character and I put my dots on q and e, while this is great when standing still, its very common to dot on the move, so they need to be moved to my mouse. Also, I can't imagine someone going from BM where there are like 4 core rotational abilities to something like Arcane mage where you have ~12 core rotational abilities. Macros significantly lighten the load, but still.

NagaX and similar with 12 buttons under the thumb. Once I tried it, have really hard time to go back to traditional keybind. Combine with Shift (pinky) and Alt (Thumb) easily as left hand is purely movement only Top up with Shift-left Click / Right click, Shift+Wheel-up/down and you got far more option needed for any class

@Emraz 8 месяцев назад

I got a Naga to combat button bloat on the classes. There's far more than ever. My problem was I kept hitting the wrong button as 12 seperate buttons in a 3cm x 3cm space is just tiny. Practice makes perfect I guess but I couldnt stick with it.

Mouse 4 is action bar 1 Mouse 5 is action bar 2 Now my 15 abilities become 30 at the press of a mouse thumb And that’s all I’d ever need for any class. Movement: Space is jump B: strafe right V: strafe left Mouse 1/2: forward No turning button (turning is useless) Mouse wheel is zoom in/out That’s it. No alt/ctrl/Fn mods needed

Keybinds are super important when starting out but it's not going to make up player skill or knowlege. I click my CDs and it hasn't stopped me from doing +25s and reaching end bosses in mythic raid. Maybe I eventually learn keybinds but most class core roations aren't more than like 4 buttons as much as people like to rag on BM being 2.5 buttons.

Do 1 button at a time. Get use to it and then move to the next one. It may take some time to bind everything like that, but you're not in a rush. It took me 2 years to get used to esdf movement instead of wasd but it was worth it

@BRIELL3plays 6 месяцев назад

Awesome video as usual! You and I think so much alike! I've had my keybinds set up in a similar fashion for years now. I also use an MMO mouse because I believe it's a must-have. You're limiting your effectiveness otherwise. I even use the SHIFT key as a modifier, just like you do. I do have my movement keys tied to ESDF rather than WASD as I took typing in school -- your index fingers are supposed to rest on the F and J keys (which is why most keyboards have little nubs on those keys). Using ESDF also gives the added benefit of putting more beneficial keys within range of your fingertips -- which means having even more effective keybinds. This plays a huge role in my efficiency, particularly in groups and PvP. I put my instant rotational abilities on my mouse button grid. Any rotational abilities that have a cast time are on my mouse buttons as well but are accessed by holding down the SHIFT modifier key while pressing the coordinating button. I then can put the extremely important buttons like interrupts and heals on my most accessible keyboard keys because those are the abilities you need most in a pinch. I also use an addon (Bartender) to set up my hotbar buttons onscreen. As you alluded to, I mirror the button layout of my keyboard and mouse buttons so I have the visual representation, but can easily move abilities to other buttons, if necessary, by holding the SHIFT modifier key while dragging them. I have never hidden my hotbars like you, but I guess I could try that at some point. Finally, I use the ALT modifier key for opening windows like my bags (I use ALT I for my bags. "I" for Inventory; ALT S for spellbook, "S" for spellbook; ALT C for Collections, etc.). I use Backspace for Reply.

@callahan123 18 дней назад

Good video. I don´t understand the pros moving with by keys on left hand (wasd or esdf...) while you can move with your right hand and the mouse. I move and have all my movement abilities on my mouse while my left hand can reach all main skills. My palm rests on my main rotational skills which are bind to qweasd, while important CDs are on rtfgcvb. Everything without modifiers which I could use on top.

what you can do with the spreadsheet is add a collum and put the 'type' of ability in the initial sheet. This way you can easily see with a new class oh my dispell goes here. look up what dispell ability you have and put it there ;)

@coryp6868 7 месяцев назад

I was taught at a VERY young age to move (in wow only) with asd. I'm not gonna argue about how useless backpeddling is for a coordinated pc user, much less in retail wow, but it removes SO MUCH fumbling with movement by removing the y axis from your muscle memory. Frees up W as well, to add to the S tier. If youre a rare awd player, you're trying to do the right thing the wrong way, from a perspective of reducing mental RAM on movement.

@geoanton3048 8 месяцев назад

@@k9tirion927 also great for rogue during evasion, or of you have high dodge/parry in general. Even for casters, there is a marginal trade-off of speed for access to your back, and if they are already in melee, what's the speed even matter? In classic, you could deny a rogue backstabs much easier with backpedaling than with strafing. I could go on, but I think it's pretty clear that backpedaling has its place if you have the imagination for it. On any class, not just tanks.

@k9tirion927 8 месяцев назад

@@davidfields5375 The angle for frontal mitigation is still active when you strafe back out so you will still dodge/parry/block stuff, you would have to overdo it by quite a bit to get hit in the back, your mitigation as a tank is active in a 180° angle in front of you. For tanks it's just a qol thing for positioning packs more precisely, technically even they don't have to backpedal ever, strafing back is simply faster to position yourself, get out of bad stuff and you also get a free and good keybind. I hate argumentum ad verecundiam but there are several high end m+ players that have their S key rebound, no clue about classic (where you don't need that many high priority keybinds anyways) but in retail there is simply no reason to backpedal ever.
