As a washed up gladiator thinking about getting back into WoW for TWW, this is by far the best keybindings guide I've seen. The google doc makes it so much easier. Thank you!

[AlecWyld]

Dude, you are the single most helpful WoW creator in existence haha. You cover EVERYTHING a new / returning player would need. I absolutely appreciate you and your efforts, man. Thank you.

[jonasguttmann]

Wow! You are saving my live. I restarted after more than 7 years not playing wow. Setting up the keybindings and get a clear UI at the start is so important!

[Hegemonic]

As someone starting WoW for the first time this month, your channel has been by far the most useful. Thanks

[unkelrara]

Totally agree with everything you said in the video, but one thing I personally do is keybind similar spells to the same keybinds. So for example kick is always 1, movement is always 2, aoe stun is 3 etc. I've found this to help a lot if you play many alts.

Just wanted to let you know how amazing you are.

Your content is some of the best I’ve seen in YouTube. It’s so obvious you’ve put in a lot of work to help other players and it just looks so smooth!

[PWR]

I've found all your videos insanely helpful, thanks for taking the time to put together these resources for us. 🙌

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.

MMO mouse with shift+ and control+ key binds for each row has been immeasurably helpful for me

[owatahfuhlaiyem]

Subscribed just for this and was stunned at how much amazing content you have. THANK YOU!!!

[redrh]

Your guides have been amazing. Ty for taking the time to make them looking forward to more!

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.

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-vmxr]

Great, complete & really helpful guide as always.
What I love most about this is the presentation. The way you showcased keyboard on one side & potential binds on another, splitting them based on reach & assigning as per priority... it was all really well done. Hats off to you mate.

[MrErick]

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.

[dmca_sucks]

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.

[ChaiMfuko]

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!

[Gngey]

I've been following you for ages. Using your UI as a tank, using your profile as a healer. I love your Plater profile for my colourblindness. You may remember me from Twitch chat but this video is amazing for me. I thought I had a great Keybind system however how using the mouse wheel up and down has freed up most of my keybinds to one level without using modifiers.

Thank you very much.

[technicolorsoultheory]

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.
