Rogue Keybindings

Using keybindings rather than clicking makes a massive, massive difference and gives you a much easier time to both move around and accurately spam buttons. I have the keys A and D bound to strafe (rather than turn), and spend most of the time holding the right mouse button down to allow me to turn insanely quickly compared to keyboard turning. If you click and keyboard-turn at the moment, moving to using keybindings will make a huge positive difference to how you play a rogue, I promise! It will take a while to get used to, but once you do, you’ll never look back.

I thought I’d post a quick breakdown of keybindings I use – there are a couple of keycombos I use that people might have overlooked (and aren’t too hard to reach).

Key:
Yellow – no modifier
Green – shift modifier
Red – both shit modifer and ctrl modifier (though not shift+ctrl at once)
Blue – movement
Grey – default wow bindings
White – unused (or some wow function I never bother with)
Black – pulled out with a screwdriver
