Though my keys won't be helping anyone out for sure - I hope some of the things I talk about in this video help out anyone looking to learn or improve their keybinding in ALL games =] Not only WoW
I WOULD LOVE! (this sounds weird) but a video where the camera is aimed at your keyboard, idk why i just think it would be odd to see somone using the arrow keys and keypad, i use the keypad for defensive and that is it.
I use the Razer Naga Mouse which is an MMO mouse however serves extremely well in other games such as FPS. The Layout of the mouse is 1 | 2 | 3 4 | 5 | 6 7 | 8 | 9 10|11|12 I know exactly where each spell is and I remember every single keybind (not as difficult as them being around the keyboard in my opinion). 48 Binds with Razer Naga Mouse, 5 on keyboard for things besides movement/opening tabs. 1-12, Shift 1-12, Cntrl 1-12, Alt 1-12 and A,S,D 1)Curse of Elements 2)Immolate 3)Curse of Havoc 4)Conflagrate 5)Chaos Bolt 6)Incinerate 7)Mortal Coil/Shadow Fury 8)Shadow Burn 9)Fear 10)Unending Resolve 11)Twilight Ward 12)Dark Bargain Shift-1)Embertap Shift-2)Banish Shift-3)Fire and Brimstone Shift-4)Sommon Imp Shift-5)Fel Flame Shift-6)Racial ability (Will of the forsaken) Shift-7)Rain of Fire Shift-8)Dark Intent Shift-9)Dark Soul Shift-10) Grimoire of Service (Succubus) Shift-11)Doomguard Shift-12)Inferno Ctrl-1)Demonic Circle-Sommon Ctrl-2)Demonic Gateway Ctrl-3)Use Healthstone Ctrl-4)Create Healthstone Ctrl-5)Drain Life Ctrl-6)Dark Regenderation Ctrl-7)Underwater Breathing Ctrl-8)Potion Ctrl-9)Health Funnel Ctrl-10)Macro Ctrl-11)Sommon VoidWalker Ctrl-12)Create SoulWell Alt-1)Pet Attack (Macro) Alt-2)Pet Follow (Macro) Alt-3)Pet Ability (Macro) Alt-4)Flames of Xoroth Alt-5)Summon Succubus Alt-6)Create SoulStone Alt-7)Sommon Minion (choose) Alt-8)Burning Rush [Tier 4 Talent] Alt-9)Enslave Demon Alt-10)Hearthstone Alt-11)Ground Mount (Dreadsteed) Alt-12)Flying Mount ([Random Generated Mount Macro]) Keyboard Buttons A)Macro S)Use PvP trinket D)Demonic Circle: Teleport F) Target Arena Player 1 G) Target Arena Player 2 Movement: Q) Strafe left W) Move Forward E) Strafe Right SPACEBAR) Jump Mouse Button 5) Continue running forward Indefinitely. If someone wants I can send them a screenshot of my action bars.
I use the action bar scrolling cob and I love it. I got it from you and it took maybe an hour or 2 to get used to it, but its worth it. Best thing I ever did for my lock
Instead of binding "Previous Action Bar" and "Next Action Bar" you can also bind specific bars. I do have all 6 bars showing, but I use shift+scroll wheel to change. Shift+Scroll Up brings up bar 1, Shift+Scroll Down gives me bar 2, this way I can just hold shift and spam the scroll wheel and I don't have to be precise about it, it doesn't matter how many times the game registers I scrolled, it will just bring up the bar i want instead of scrolling through them.
To cure my curse of clicking/keyboard turning I played Warhammer Online when it came out and forced myself to only use key bindings. Once I saw the light, I never went back. You could probably pull off a similar thing by playing a new character in wow and turning off the W A S D keys until you get used to playing without them.
Nice, I'm using the Razer Naga, so I have access to (for me) 4 x 12 buttons that I use. 1/12 - Shift 1/12 - Ctrl 1/12 and Alt 1/12. And sometimes it feels like I still don't have enough button space xD.
You are the man that made me turn from clicking to keybinds. Been using keybinds for 2 years now, just wanted to thank you. Once you learn to use keys, you will never go back to clicking. Thanks once again :)))
I use a naga so I use 1 - 12, shift + 1 - 12, q, e, r, f, t, shift e, shift r, shift f. and that's about it the rest like health stone and mounts I just click as nooby as that sounds :p
I use ctrl 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/0/- /= Because I have a naga I think its pretty easy to use and for more spells I would use Q/E/X/Z/C And just simple shift 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/0/-/= :) maybe weird to people but I think its faster seeing as I have a razor naga :)
i tried to set my hands up like you, now my hand is cramped. =P when i first started, i use to use right hand on numpad and left hand in the standard area, no mouse, keyboard turn... lol. oh how i've "grown" in wow.
You an do that to strafe, yes =] But there's not much reason to if you can just use strafe keys with 1 button press, rather than using the mouse and keys combined
hmm but still wasting mouse wheel :D you can bind some instant cast on mouse wheel up and down :D and ALT(ctrl or shift)+ mouse wheel up and down soo that is 4 or 6 more buttons :D
Cobrak Lol i figured that since you used numpad you had to be a leftie guess i was wrong, but how can you have so many binds on numpad, and not like to use modifiers damn that's just crazy dude, mad probs! :)
Cobrak lol Damn but u have to reach all the way to the other side of the keyboard for that :P I would never be able to do that! Lol. U might aswell use an orbweaver if u like ur binds cramped into a space like numpad :P
I really dont get how being a clicker is hard to stop... its so much more comfortable with keybindings.. but i have never been a clicker so I don't know xD
Though my keys won't be helping anyone out for sure - I hope some of the things I talk about in this video help out anyone looking to learn or improve their keybinding in ALL games =] Not only WoW
I did the simple task of putting movement on E,S,F giving super easy access to Q,W,R,T,A,D,G combined with Shift, Ctrl, Alt that's 21 binds already
***** that's a great idea. wish i had started with that
lord i don't want to take keybinding ideas off you after seeing your in real life video and how u play on the numpad wut!!!! anyway gud video :D
I WOULD LOVE! (this sounds weird) but a video where the camera is aimed at your keyboard, idk why i just think it would be odd to see somone using the arrow keys and keypad, i use the keypad for defensive and that is it.
I see an "18" tab on your chat bar. Hmmm.. clue?

waow amazing guide, the strafe left&right you have is so simple, though i never thought about it
I use the action bar scrolling cob and I love it. I got it from you and it took maybe an hour or 2 to get used to it, but its worth it. Best thing I ever did for my lock
Admit it the bind for chaos bolt is delete.
Instead of binding "Previous Action Bar" and "Next Action Bar" you can also bind specific bars. I do have all 6 bars showing, but I use shift+scroll wheel to change. Shift+Scroll Up brings up bar 1, Shift+Scroll Down gives me bar 2, this way I can just hold shift and spam the scroll wheel and I don't have to be precise about it, it doesn't matter how many times the game registers I scrolled, it will just bring up the bar i want instead of scrolling through them.
I played using the number pad too, but not on all characters. Just on my warlock.

Please upload a video, where you record your keyboard while playing. I just want so see how THIS binds work without breaking any of your fingers xD
You should make a video of you doing arena while filming your keyboard just to get a feel at how you do it, sounds so crazy the way you play :P
I started as numpad clicker, now I use SDF for movements and keys around for spells x))
OMG COB, I DO THE SAME THING, Arrows and Numbpad, LOL we're old school! hahaha
You are the man that made me turn from clicking to keybinds. Been using keybinds for 2 years now, just wanted to thank you. Once you learn to use keys, you will never go back to clicking. Thanks once again :)))
can you make a list of your keybinds please ? its woud be interesting to try them :P
I use 1-5 and shift 1-5 and ctrl 1-5 you think they're ok or can you suggest some better way to set up?
Like the new intro.. but maybe the thing you cast should be more chaos boltish :D
thinking about making a vid about this myself. bartender makes binds super easy
And who are you again?
richard mitchell Brody. Who are you?
Why is there a - between the letters on your binds?
Good vid cob, Keep at it man!
Hey cob! Nice vid :D Did you get my PM?
I use a naga so I use 1 - 12, shift + 1 - 12, q, e, r, f, t, shift e, shift r, shift f. and that's about it the rest like health stone and mounts I just click as nooby as that sounds :p
nice guide :)
I use ctrl 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/0/- /= Because I have a naga I think its pretty easy to use and for more spells I would use Q/E/X/Z/C And just simple shift 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/0/-/= :) maybe weird to people but I think its faster seeing as I have a razor naga :)
1:21 not true lol I know a 2.3k war that backs up like that when he has die by the sword on lol
Great Guide
THANK YOU!
Playing with arrows and num pad keys? Holy shit, I have never even heard of this anywhere xD
Could we see a video of your hands when you play?
In my next Vlog I'll be certain to show that again haha ^^
i tried to set my hands up like you, now my hand is cramped. =P when i first started, i use to use right hand on numpad and left hand in the standard area, no mouse, keyboard turn... lol. oh how i've "grown" in wow.
don't you jsut use a and d to strafe when you hold the right cclick and bind strafe keys, they are so easy to press
You an do that to strafe, yes =] But there's not much reason to if you can just use strafe keys with 1 button press, rather than using the mouse and keys combined
lol woah u play with the right side of your keyboard? damn that seems tough :P
hmm but still wasting mouse wheel :D you can bind some instant cast on mouse wheel up and down :D and ALT(ctrl or shift)+ mouse wheel up and down soo that is 4 or 6 more buttons :D
Good guide although I don't play lock. But bro... U have the weirdest bindings lol, when u play with numpad u gotta let go of the mouse don't u...?
Of course not ^^ I use my left hand for binds, right hand on the mouse =]
Cobrak Lol i figured that since you used numpad you had to be a leftie guess i was wrong, but how can you have so many binds on numpad, and not like to use modifiers damn that's just crazy dude, mad probs! :)
Cobrak lol Damn but u have to reach all the way to the other side of the keyboard for that :P I would never be able to do that! Lol. U might aswell use an orbweaver if u like ur binds cramped into a space like numpad :P
Cobrak si tus videos tuvieran subtitulos al español todo seria perfecto
I wish they had controllers for this game cause keybinding is just way to rough and it the most uncomfortable playstyle I ever tried.
I really dont get how being a clicker is hard to stop... its so much more comfortable with keybindings.. but i have never been a clicker so I don't know xD
That's some wierd playstyle, buy hey, whatever works for you. Would actually be fun to watch you play with a cam recording your hands :P
DID YOU DELETE MY COMMENT?
That 1 dislike is obviously a misclick.
that one damn dislike
Altought YOU are a very good player, your keybinds kinda sucks...
His keybinds make him the player he is, don't contradict yourself.
