PvP Keyboard Bindings

[Gitano]

hi,

I'm a feral/Resto specced Druid (lvl60). 'till now I didn't do much pvp, but recently i got hooked by AV. Before I used keyboard + mouse in a fight, but when PvP'ing I notice my bindings and use of keyboard/mouse isn't the most effcient, they feel like to slow? How are you organized for PvP, what camera angle do you use , etc...
regards,

Gitano

I would suggest getting a Belkin Nostromo™ SpeedPad n52 . I have use one of these sence Unreal Tournament 2004 came out for most/all of my gaming. But it really pwns when used for MMORG's and Online first person shooters. It has 4 different programable states/modes. standard, red, blue, and green. (see pics from links). and you can swich between the 4 by using the lower thumb button.

If you are looking for speed as well as easy of use and comfort, this is a must have.

The belkin web site claims to be out of stock so you'll have to try and track one down at best buy, comp usa, or amazon.

Be careful what you 'program'. Making multiple 'keystrokes' occur as the result of pushing only one key may not be in concert with the TOS.

Especially when used with certain addons, like the LazyScript suite.

yeah, be really careful not to automate too much... that can get you banned.

well on my WoW profile for the speed pad all I really use it for at the moment is for the number/hot keys "1" - "+" (top row of key board), the scroll wheel on the speep pad is set to scroll through hot bars 1-4 (5 and 6 are on screen)
the center button on the top row is forward, the D-pad is set for movement (left, right, backwards, and auto run) and the orange thumb button is my Ventrillo PTT (push to talk) button.

I haven't gotten into programing macro strings with it yet, although im sure I'll experiment with the macro function of it at some point. But im only using the 1st mode of it. I still have the red, blue, and green modes/configs/settings to play with.

I just set up for more ergonomic (comfort) and efficent (speed) game play. I find it alot easier to play with my right hand on the mouse and my left hand on the speed pad rather than the keyboard. the only thing I really use the key board for is typing in the chat channels.

I just bind around the movement keys adws. It works a charm for me. I play a hybrid - a shaman - so I'll use my setup as an example and explain briefly why it works for me/is easy to learn. I use [SHIFT] + [KEY] for self targeting (I know there are other ways but I like this one) and [CTRL] + [KEY] for the same lower rank or similar spells. See Q AND F. Set up for PvP

Bold being movement keys:

1234 - (More offensive keys for mage etc when you aren't using CTRL+key, misc for me) - [1] Warstomp, [3] Natures Swiftness or Elemental Mastery
QWERT - Generally offensive damage abilities [Q] Lightning Bolt, [Ctrl]+[Q] Chain Lightning, [E] Frost Shock, [R] Earth Shock
ASDFG - Healing abilities (only one key on this char but you get the idea) [F] Lesser Healing Wave, [CTRL]+[F] Healing Wave, [G] Earthbind Totem
ZXCVB - Others (offensive non-damage and defensive non-healing) - [X] Tremor Totem, [C] Grounding Totem, [V] Lightning Shield, [B] Purge

I'm sure there are plenty of other effective ways but these are all in easy reach of my left hand without moving from the base movement keys. Once you have it down its quick as heck too.
