Just switching this to a new post so one of the best points to come out of the other isn’t lost.
If anybody is still reading after all my alphabet vomit every post, try keybinds and right click mouse turning. It’ll change your WoW life for the better.
Start small with a few abilities bound and increase until you get them all or start to need the extra necrolord appendage to hit them all.
I’m trying it after 4 years and it’ll take awhile to get there but I have small steps to reach my goals.
Conversely, play on a laptop with no mouse at all for extra hardmode.
Tried that once, plugged in a mouse in about 37 seconds.
My wife recently started playing WoW, gifted it for christmas, after its install the first thing I did was unbound the turning buttons on the keyboard lol
Okay people are always talking about how this is a “computer” game and I am confused. My toaster/lemon set-up does just fine, thank you.
I commented in the other thread so I won’t repeat all that here, but… how do you know? I state you’re still learning, but that’s a big claim for someone who hasn’t mastered it. I find it hard to believe that me memorizing 26 keybinds is going to be faster than clicking an icon. Not arguing, I would like someone who has mastered this to help me out here.
I agree with the movement for the mouse (except has does one move backward on the mouse? Program the wheel maybe?)
Wow you have a toaster? I’m playing on a 
Sometimes I will use a potato as a mouse!
(I am kidding I use the computer and mouse! Haha)
Or get a mouse with 10 buttons, and never touch your keyboard numbers again.
I’ve done that before. It’s… not ideal. I mostly just stuck to farming ore until I got a new mouse.
I do wish I could use those. Unfortunate, I have very little manual dexterity and I always get either the wrong button or smush extras.
i had to go take a poke in your post history to see what you were talking about 
personally, i’d suggest mouse to move forward (keep w bound to move forward if you want)
bind left strafe to A
bind right strafe to D
…this gives you easy access to Q,E,R for things you need constantly
Whaddya have all your fingers on one hand?
Tried it, hated it, and I’m not competitive nor a progressive player so it doesn’t affect my game play.
My easy bake oven does pretty good, Got the deluxe model that bakes cakes.
i find it hard to believe that you use 26 buttons with equal frequency.
just bind the things you use most
yes, it is faster than trying to locate a button with your mouse.
muscle memory kicks in fairly quickly… i’m old and still retrain my brain to use different set-ups every so often.
I’ve been doing it since vanilla so it doesn’t seem so bad.
Thumb does the clicking for numbers, and left hand control the shift, and letter keybinds. Even in FPS games I bind nearly everything to the numbers, I can never go back to a normal mouse now.
Yes turning less accurately and honestly slower was the change when I tried it.
Mouse turning for me is counterintuitive, if you can do it, great on you.
Correct. Some have long CD so I don’t use them that often. So, trying to glean the advice from your reply. Pick…6-8 of the most frequently used skills (like my primary rotation) and bind those?
That was probably a bit of a bold statement.
It’s already easier to use 1-6 and the mouse to move just on my own testing by myself. My dps went up against mobs doing solo content, not a lot but not an insignificant either. Once I get comfortable working in 7-9 so I can reliably interrupt I’ll be tickled.
I don’t have any doubt that increasing my dps and being comfortable with it and moving and interrupts will help with solo content which I mostly do and group content(lfd/lfr) which I’ve always done also. If I can kill things faster and keep myself alive that alone will make my wow life better and if I can bring that to any group content, that will make mine and theirs better.
Those gray parses in CN on Tuesday were an eye opener. And getting chained to someone else and them dying because I couldn’t move fast enough. I’m directly responsible for that, like it’s my fault for keyboard turning that another person died. They were a healer so that probably contributed to the raid wiping on that fight. I can only imagine that all those wipes in lfr in the past I was probably responsible for some of those too.
yeah just start with a couple… the ones you use the very most
they’ll still be there to click if you get flustered and forget the keybinds, but if you start small and work your way up, it will be a quality of life improvement for your gaming.
i have a mouse with “too many” buttons… and it’s nice being able to do so much with just a slight finger movement on the mouse
