Generally speaking, watching another person play an MMORPG can be incredibly boring. PvP matches and raiding aside, the audience always knows what will happen, the avatar will kill the mob with plenty of HP to spare. World of Warcraft is no different in that respect; thank god for WoW’s customization. Rather than watching the shining graphics on the screen, I watch a player’s hands to see how they have mapped their keys for their personal settings. It has proven to be far more interesting.
For every type of player that exists in Azeroth, there is a type of play style. One of the best warriors – one of those people you’d hate on Ventrilo though - I have had the privilege to play with moved around with the arrow keys, mapping his abilities to keys in the area. A hunter from our guild didn’t hit any hotkeys, relying entirely on mouseclicks. A pair of my druid friends are a clear case of convergent evolution, mapping all of their healing keys as close to WASD as possible, including Q, E, R, F, G, C, V.
My brother, a Holy Priest from the beginning and a RTS master, only used 1-5 for his spells. Five spells isn’t enough for any class, let alone a Priest. He simply would hit Shift 1-5 to change his bars as needed, effectively giving him 25 keys to play with. His “uber-micro” from his Red Alert and Warcraft III days are what enabled him to keep up with the required speed necessary to be a main healer. Those frantic keystrokes and movements to flip his bars to the correct spells at precise moments was stunningly beautiful.
And here I am, a fourth alternative to the default layout. I have applied a few tricks from my RTS playing days as well. The ability to hit CTRL, Shift and Alt with ease – years of training - frees up the rest of the keyboard for use with macros. In an attempt to give 1-6 as many uses as possible, I chose to map CTRL 1-6 and Shift 1-6 to additional bars instead of their default actions. The new keybindings allow me to keep spells, abilities and macros on my top and side bar, but avoid the need to mouseover to them. Mousing is for newbs. My personal attachment to palming CTRL has lead me to only purchase keyboards with raised keys and after I have played with them in meatspace. On the flip side, my mouse requirements are incredibly basic.
Do you guys go about your business with the default layout, or have you changed the title’s key layout as much as your User Interface? Are you a mouseclicker or do you have a gear out mouse with as many inputs as a keyboard? What is the craziest play style you have witnessed or heard about? Heck, I even use ` (the key next to numero uno) for Stealthing.

i use E S F C, and mouse click. I have chain heal on number 4.. and that’s pretty much it.
By mark w on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
i use arrows and numberpad and 5 button mouse.
By James on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
I am a ret pally and I have keys 1,2,3 set as my judgments while mouse clicking my blessings and seals and anything that has a time buff. The rest of my number bar is set to exorcism, holy wrath, consecration, hammer of justice and I change the order depending on the mobs I will be facing (humanoid, undead, etc..).
I’m kind of a noob still and even if I wasn’t it would still be the same just because I’m not very fast with the keyboard outside of the standard text keys.
By Josh(the Original one) on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
I am a warrior and i am a mouse clicker and please dont call it noobish you are so ignorant i mean you can do the same thing with a mouse as you key clickers do we just master it so it works the same. Im not hating on your play style so dont hate on mine.
By Cloudbearer on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 2:04 pm
I also use ctrl and shift modifiers on keys to try and keep it to the left side of the number row as possible. I try to keep my right hand on my mouse at all times.
For things like buffing, rezzing pets, and other not so time critical actions, I’ll bind them to the number pad.
Seriously though, clicking IS for noobs. It may be hard at first but it’s worth putting the effort into getting used to using keys.
I can’t believe people can enjoy clicking - I would feel so far removed from the game. The game would be all about clicking on little boxes instead of just watching what’s going on inside of the game.
By ltgalloway on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
I use a combo of several different methods. WSAD, some hotkeys, CTRL + 1-5, etc.
I keep hitting the desktop button when Im healing instead of ALT though though so I may need to come up with an alternative method.
By HerofTime on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
I’m a prot pally, so i dont need a ton of spells. i just use 1-5 for exorcism, holy shield, avengers shield, shield of the righteous, and hammer of the righteous. my judgement of wisdome is mapped to my “f” key and when i need a potion or something i use “shift+2.” i just use PallyPower for buffs. oh, and using a mouse isnt necessarily noobish. if someone was just getting into the game or was rather young (like my 10 year old mage cousin) mouse clicking might be necessary.
By Slinkz on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Mouseclicking all of your spells is slower, it isn’t a dispute, it is fact. It is much faster to hit 1 and then 5 than mouse between them, while trying to keep your eye on the action. That being said, certain classes (ranged DPS) can pull it off without much of an issue.
“oh, and using a mouse isnt necessarily noobish. if someone was just getting into the game or was rather young (like my 10 year old mage cousin)”
That is like the definition of noobish…
I like how you manage to come up with different articles so often rather than beating a dead horse like other blogs.

Ah, it is very interesting to see how others play WoW instead of watching the screen.
As for myself, i had most of my abilites 1-6 and the keys just below them. The less my left hand has to do to hit a key(s) the quicker i am. Now, incredibly over christmas my wife fed my WoW addiction and purchased the n52te http://www.n52te.com (it wasn’t even on my christmas list) I love it. I am still working on it and creating new macros to improve, but it was quick and easy to memorize.
Now my brother after some digging is using his X-box 360 controller to play. There are demo’s online on how to hook it up, then it is just setting the buttons and getting it down. He is still working on it as he is a tank and some instances he just isn’t quick enough yet, but I know it won’t take him too long.
Looking foward to what other do with there setup for WoW.
By Cirius on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
I tend to use key near my hands so I don’t have to move them much during play.
So 1,2,3 and Shift 1,2,3,q,e for attack spells (I’m a Shammy)
The rest of my spells (buffs, totems, heals) are bound to my mouse keys, I bought a Logitech MX Revolution especially for that and everything i keybinded (Middle button, side buttons, side wheel and side wheel click with some Ctrl, Shift and Alt for additionnal spells.
For the second question, I hear of a way to play WoW with a Wii Remote

By mike on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
I use WASD and for leveling use WASD to move and the number pad plus alt num pad for spells and abilites. though while healing I use Clique and Grid, which is just me clicking the frames
By tater on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
I am like that hunter you talked about which is funny because i too am a hunter. i ususally use the mouse to click on what i want but occasionally use the hot keys. but with a new mouse on the way with progamable buttons i will have to adjust
By Kaellzen on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
I have played several classes and i effectively use the
hotkeys 1-0 to set my attacking/tanking rotations
so its an easy 1, 2, 3, 4 and so forth, occasionally repeating the lower numbers when cool down is complete before i start over back at 1
I find this method extremely simple and easy to use and efficient
As for buffs or other skills that are not needed ‘in the heat of the moment,’ I keep them on the sidebars and click when needed
By Marth on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
Honestly I don’t know what the hell I am doing, has long as I kill some undead dudes I cool
By Delbin on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
I’m an enhancement shaman, so I have lots of buttons to use. The standard Blizzard UI doesn’t have enough space for all of the skills I use, so it’s just not possible to keybind everything. I use a combination of keyboard bindings, mouse bindings, and clicks.
I use 1-6, shift-1-6, and alt 1-4 for all my main attacks and totems. I have a mouse macro for using ghost wolves since I incorporated a mouseover macro for their attacking targets. It feels more natural to have the button on the mouse. I also macro my trinket, self heal, and hex on the mouse so I can use it while moving/attacking and don’t have to worry about running out of fingers.
I have several reactionary (oh S*!t) spells on v, z, and f so they’re quick to access but don’t take up room on the 1-6 row.
I click some. Several support totems, potions, misc. items, and long-cooldown spells aren’t used often enough to take up space on the keyboard, so I just click them.
The main thing I like about my setup is that I can play pretty effectively with just my left hand. It’s helpful for when I’m eating during a raid
By Hatell on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
I use mostly 1-5 and shift+^ or shift+v so that gives me 10 places for heals and debuffs based on certain fights. The rest are for party buffs. I mouse click on the person who needs a heal or a dispel/cure. But that’s my priest.
My DK I have found I have not gone beyond 1-7, though 1 is Path of Frost or what ever item I need to use.
the ~ key is my vent.
By Mr.Persaud on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 7:57 pm
I’m a clicker! But I do have some custom key bindings…actually just one. Like you said at the end, I use ~ for stealth. So my basic routine for killing a mob is:
1. ~ (To stealth)
2. TAB (To select target)
3. Ambush (To kick the crap out of it)

By Mr.Persaud on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 8:03 pm

By Sathas on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 8:08 pm
hellooo im a prot pally tank i have no action bar addons and under actionsbars in the interface menu, i have all the options checked off
i put all my combat spells on page one, all my buffs on page 2, and all my non combat spells and frequently used items (trinkets, etc.) on the clickable keys.
nice post!
By Jeff on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Can I REALLY be in the (apparent) minority that use my mouse for toon control & the main keyboard # keys (above the alpha-keys) for action bar spells…?
Granted, I have all my prof’s (even fishing) hot-keyed… my mounts are ‘hot-keyed’ to mouse-button 5 - shift MB5, to fly - (as is auto-run; MB4) & I have HS & Shadowmeld (n/elf main) set to hot-key, too…
… Oh, and ALL that extra action bars ar out, that can be… can’t be cycling through action bars trying to remember which one has food on it, etc…!
By LaFetus on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
Oddest thing I guess I’ve got is H is my mount button for all my characters. Flying mount is binded to ` except for my warrior who uses ` as his ranged weapon to pull mobs. Besides that I’ve got all the # keys for my skills, Shift+# for more skills but I’ve kept all my healing skills (except for warrior obviously) binded to Ctrl+#, even on my priest and resto shaman. It seems like it’d be difficult and just plain dumb but since I play so many different characters and alts, Ctrl has and always will be my healing spells. Don’t ask me why it’s just a preference. Oh and for some reason on all my Belfs, Shift+1 is always Arcane Torrent for some reason. I like it there.
By Flach on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 12:55 am
I use n52te for my skills and movements before that i only used few skills. After i started using it there has been significant increase in skills i been using so it has improved my gaming as well.

I play with a xbox 360 controller it works great on the those boring days of just dailies and stuff
By dave on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 2:18 am
my shammy is resto and i have all heal spells on my 1-0 bar but all the rest of my buffs, shields etc. are on the action bar above whereas i have a macro to have all totems in one translucent box in the middle so its easy to do
By Valentinex on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 5:03 am
The most important spells i use are mapped around numbers 1 - 5. Me being a Holy paladin, I rarely have to use anymore spells outside of the important ones, only having to mouse over if I’m popping macro’d cooldowns or buffing people. So i tend to have 1-5, then another 5 more spells keybound to alt1-alt5.
By Azezyel on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 5:36 am
I bought the WOW mouse (from steel series) and it has 15 programmable buttons that i use. I think this mouse awesome. I also use the keyboard (1-6) and i use the f buttons (f1-f8).
By Gerandor on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 5:51 am
i put my most used spells in priority, 2 usually being the most important, and then my lesser important spells at 9-10. i have no problems hitting those however.
By Domenic on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 6:25 am
I can’t imagine another layout other than my own
I roll a mage and shaman as my mains and use WSAD for moving. I’ve mapped everything critical as close to my movement keys as possible, the more I use the spell, the closer it sits to my movement keys.
For example, my primary spells… like frost bolt / lightning bolt are F, sheeping / hexing = Q, fire blast / earth shock = E, ice armor / water shield = V… i could go on and on.
I only have one button mapped to a number, and it’s my rooting spells (frost nova / earth bind) = 4.
My emergency spells are also quick real handy with ice block / gift of the naaru at SHIFT + middle mouse button. Buffs are all mouse clicks on the action bar since I don’t have to hit them usually while in battle.
I find that whatever toon you play, you can classify spells or attacks into your primary, secondary, etc and map them accordingly.
By sarutobisan on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 7:05 am
personaly i think anyone who would call anyone noobish for the style the use whether it be clicking or keys is def to caught up in the gaming hype and a wannabe of the gaming comunity , someone like that gives gamers a bad name .. i have held top ranking on my server for pvp, arena and i can also play BG’s and raid or group with the same button set as a clicker .. if you want to call someone a noob for their playing style do it because they are new to the game not because they chose to play in a diffrent way .. oh and by the way macros are fun but honestly i think they are a waste of time except in BG’s and PVP.. if you have to use macros to beable to play effectively.. then i see that as compensating for a lack of strategy and skill in WoW.. CLICKER FTW!
oh and by the way if anyone has a problem with my opinion …Good! because that just means you have your own style and you are a original gamer .

By teddy on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 8:14 am
prot warrior, i use 1 for devistate 2 for taunt 3 for shield slam 4 for shield block 5 for revenge… then i gotta click heroic strike and TC… ://
fire mage i use 1 for fireball 2 for scorch 3 for frostfire bolt 4 for blast wave and 5 for combustion, thats bout it
By Pauldy on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 8:57 am
I have not been on my priest in a while but for BC content I used nothing more than renew, flash heal, and prayer of healing. Occasionally I would need to dispel but it was infrequent enough I had them on separate buttons on the side bar. Mash a button click a name in raid ui easy as pie.
Now I run with a fire mage and have downed all bosses but malygos. There I use ffb, scortch, living bomb, and pyro blast with the occasional fireblast. I am always in the top 10 and quite frequently the top dpser i the group. My cooldowns are all handled via buttons I keep on the right like mirror image, icy veins, and combustion are just buttons I click while in spell rotation to help up dps as I no longer have any trinkets with cooldowns.
So I can see why there are people who minimize their button bar down to the essentials because it keeps you focused on what is important for the big fights. I think all the macros are for the PVPers who just want to sit back and face roll the keyboards for an honor kill.
By Alayea on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 9:12 am
Nothing much to my play style. I used to use the arrow keys back in day to move around while using the mouse to click something. My other siblings that play WoW managed to convince me that was stupid.
These days, I use the mouse to move and click something that’s not set to the 1 through = on my action bar.
The one thing that still hasn’t changed to this day is the fact that I have zero macros. (It’s no joke.)
By Nathan on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 10:04 am
Being a hardcore pvper i have to know my keybindings inside an out, i have to center all abilities and spells around my left hand, so i use all the 3 modifiers on 1-6, q,e,f,g,t,z,x,c.
Thats god knows how many buttons but it works well and its doing me good as i gradually progress through the 1600s.
By Tomähäwk on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 11:03 am
i click, and i hot key. 4 button mouse, and a standard keyboard. i set up my bars, and play. thats about the extent of it.
By Sunalar on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 11:43 am
I’m a mage, and have tried using the WASD buttons or even the arrow keys for movement, but feel like I have better control using my mouse for movement.
My main spells are 1-0, and everything else is clickable. But after going through dungeons and getting into the “Oh crap!” situations where I need to pop a trinket, my mana sheild, or a health pot and not being able to find it quickly makes me know that I need to bind some abilities to extra keys. It’s just finding the right keys use.
Some things like food and water I think can remain clickable because I use it out of combat.
By Alex on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
i actually play a hunter and since i love flight sims from the days when they were fun to play, i use my 2stage flight controller and have mapped all my shots to a different button, with 25 buttons between the stickl itself and the throttle controls my hands only move toward my mouse for chat and auction house, with the occasional changing of the pet from aggressive (stupid hordies) to passive (stupid aoe mobs) a friend of mine uses the middle of the number bar in the keybard for his spells and nothing else except wasd for movement
By Conxcore on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
i used to use 1 to = along with shift, ctrl, and alt i also use my num pad
now with my Logitech G11 i virtually have every single spell, potion, food, ability, mount, etc. mapped.
im what u call an “anti-clicker”
By grillbar on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
i was a pala healer specced
in section 1 ( thats shift+1) i used 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 they were attacked and spells i used when i was solo’ing/ questing
section 2 (shift+2) were all my spells buffs and all that needed for healing and buffing
section 3 (you get the point) was for things like professions hs and other things i normaly never use but just in case
and then i had 3 xtra action bars the 2 on top of the sections and on on my right side of the screen
the 2 xtra actions bar on top of my section was filled with spells i used both when healing and solo’ing like greater wisdom and so on allso i had emergency spells incase people fucked up in a raid like bubble and so on, so i basicly had everything i needed the 2 xtra bars i clicked with my mouse
the action bar on my right screen (action bar 3) was for quest items that needed to be used in some shape way of form a good xample is before TBC when doing daily’s in quel danas
the rest was a,s,d,w for moving, m or mouse buttom 3 for map, mouse for looking, mouse buttom 1 and 2 for attacking and mouse buttom 5 for auto walk
of yearh and tap+t for next target when dealing with alot of mobs of low lvl when boosting people
think thats about it
By jokilla on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
i use the default set up but keep a few spells on f1 f2 f3 and f4
By Magealitious on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
1-4 or 5ish then i click everything else (only need 2 and 3, the occasional 4, me being a dpser and all)
craziest play style ever has to my friend who plays a rogue - he’s a clicker, and he doesn’t stop clicking…spam clicks hemmo like a mad man and when he needs to, he’ll move his mouse ever so slightly over to evicerate…all he does…it’s VERY annoying
on the other hand, my other friend (a holy paladin) uses 1-3 and combinations of macros set to shift, ctrl, alt and \ when used in conjunction with 1-3…he freaks me out (never wiped once when he heals though, so i don’t complain)
By Murruhlin on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
On my Warrior I use quite a few macros. For my Druid I haven’t set any yet because theirs no reason for it until i get leveled. Just don’t want to make a habit of hitting something until I know for sure thats always going to be there. This is my First Druid so I did Hot key Revive for partying, which is Ctrl+H
By Alex on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 5:13 pm
I am a clicker. Just that simple…a clicker.
The hotkeys just seem err… well i’d have to memorize them… >.>
By Fladon on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
I’m a clicker too…
I mean just cuz some1s a clicker dusnt mean he/she is a noob! Jus as the other guys sed it’s how we choose to play the game. The person that uses the xbox controller, we cud say he’s a noob cuz he prob plays halo too much but do we? No cuz that’s how he plays
By Sardit on Thursday, January 15th, 2009 at 3:59 am
i’m a priest and i use a grid click combination on my 5 button mouse, in grid all 4 are bound to different spells with shift, ctrl, shift-ctrl, and alt combo’s giving me 16 healing spells at just a click over a target. I steer with my mouse aswell but rely on wasd for forward, back, and strafe motions.
Q is bound to my wand, f has an attack cycle macro under it, e is my pw:shield, r is fear. c is my fade button, v is holy nova
1 is mindblast 2 sw:pain, 3 devouring plague, 4 sw:death 5 renew. g is smite, and something i hardly use at x. ( dunno what it is.
I have some shout macro’s and trinkets bound to my num pad. Thats basically all my abilities. ( incase you wonder, holy light is the first spell in my attack macro so its under f. Mind seer / mana burn / mind controll i mouse over as i hardly use em. Pots, bandages, food i mouse over aswell.
By Veppy on Thursday, January 15th, 2009 at 5:35 am
I am mainly a feral druid.
Buttons I use are: WASD for moving, QERTFGHV§ and numbers 123456 for different skills. And even those are not enough, so some more rarely used skills I’ve bound to alt/shift/ctrl -combinations.
Even then, I have addon (Dominos) that changes my bars for different forms. One bar for caster form, one bar for bear form, one bar for cat form and even one for cat form in stealth.
I also have a couple of bars for items, like trinkets and other usables.
I don’t think a feral druid can be succesful without having a bunch of quickbinds, because of the constant need to shapeshift.
By Nemesisnick on Thursday, January 15th, 2009 at 7:19 am
all my settings are still default lol i just keep all my spells i use the most on the bottom left and top left action bars and all my foods and long cooldown spells like soul well and summon spells on the right bars i also never use punctuation.
By Cypherblok on Thursday, January 15th, 2009 at 7:22 am
I combine every aspect depending on what aspect of the game i am playing. If I am raiding, I simply mouse click because it’s just easier that way. But if I am pvping, I throw it all in, mouse click, mouse moving with hot keys, all of it. depending on how heated the battles get and we all know they can be a blast. Also I suppose depends on my mood, hahaha.
By theone on Thursday, January 15th, 2009 at 8:36 am
i have steady shot on Q and pet attack on a mouse button :] sadly though thats all i need……
By Fidgitt on Friday, January 16th, 2009 at 12:01 pm
For starters, I have all 4 bars out on the screen - 2 on the bottom and the 2 on the right side. As a fire mage and elem shammy respectively, I press most of the 1-0 keys, including the = key and click spells on the right-side bars.

*note that i have not played since september so i have not gone past 70 or seen any of wotlk*
warrior, constantly jumping back and forth between prot and fury. i move with WASD, and with mouse clicks. i keep a few stance switch macros(between battle and berserker/ between defensive and berserker) that i bind to the middle mouse button. i put food, potions, flasks, bandages, weapons and shields(out of combat stuff) on the right vertical taskbars and i left-click to use them. My outfitter buttons are also kept over on the right(i have about 6 different gear sets- DW fury/2H PVP/Effective Health/avoidance/threat/mitigation/nekkid) in raids i use ` and shft-` for battle shout and commanding shout. i have my stances on F1-F3, ground mount on F4, Flyer on F5. Left-CTRL is my vent push-to-talk key.
when i get to my abilities is where it gets weird. I knew very little starting out but for some reason my abilities stayed where i originally put them. for example in my defensive stance i have cleave still on the 2 key. of course, i rarely ever use it for tanking unless i’m tanking an instance that’s well above my group’s gear level. sunder/devestate is all the way over on the 0 key, and it’s always been that way so that’s what i’m used to. things like death wish, stone form and all three of the 20 min cd’s are on the bottom left action bars and i have to click them.
i think since i’ve had such a long break and nothing will be second nature anymore, once i start playing again i will try putting my abilities in places that make more sense with my rotations
