Key Bindings and other stuff :D
Continuing on from the UI posts (for which i will post a proper blog in the future, probably when i sort my rogue UI out) i decided to expand on it a little to include keybindings.
Here are a list of keybindings i currently use in MM spec (SV spec will be different although like my action bars i haven't currently set them up for SV yet)
A,S,D,W - Movement (i also use the arrows if i am talking on vent/ts due to my p2t buttons position)
1- Hunters Mark
2 - Serpent Sting (macro'd)
3 - Chimera Shot (macro'd)
4 - Steady Shot
5 - Aimed Shot (macro'd)
6 - Arcane Shot (Macro'd)
7 - Kill Command (macro'd)
8 - Kill Shot
9 - Silence Shot
= - Tranq Shot (Macro'd)
T - Feign Death
Shift, T - Deterance
Middle mouse Button - True Shot Aura
Mouse Scroll Up - Aspect of the Dragon Hawk
Mouse Scroll Down - Aspect of the Viper
Side Mouse button 1 - Volley
Side Mouse Button 2 - Freezing arrow
Shift, Side Mouse Button 1 - Frost Trap
Shift, Side Mouse Button 2 - Concussive Shot
The reason most of my main shots are macro'd is that i Include a Silence shot (which isnt on the GCD) whenever its off CD except for fights where i may need to interupt in which case i use basic versions of the spells.
My sperpent sting macro also includes a "pet attack" aspect again on certain fights (Saurfang) i replace this so that when i am DPS on blood beasts i dont pull my pet off the boss when i SS the add.
The Tranq shot macro is a bit of a relic from TBC, its a mouse over macro that i used in SSC on the Murlocs that used to enrage just before Morogrim, now with mobs like Icehowl that is no longer needed and i could just use a straight tranq spell.
I should also Keybind Distracting shot for use on the blood beasts, i have to admit i click that one, as well as Rapid fire, Misdirect (although that is also a macro as you may have seen from party/raid spam) and readyness.
*all the above is a lie, everyone knows hunters autoshot - afk*

great post. I always say one

I always say one of the biggest factors effecting a persons in-game performance is physically how they "do" what they "do".

indeed,
Gone are the times of the 1 button 3:2 rotation macro for BM Hunters in TBC (thankfully) and now it is a much more rewarding class to play, it also has had the helpful side effect of eliminating a lot of the "huntard" aura that this class has had for a long time now as people who relied on being able to spam 1 button find things a little more difficult and move away to other classes.
I also find i am doing a little more of the Old Skool stuff as we near end game, looking after healers and clothies used to be a big part of my job in the TBC heroic system (when you could be one shotted by a normal mob) and i am seeing myself do that a lot more recently with the ICC 5 mans and ICC itself.
The Huntard is dead, Long live the Hunter!

Maybe a bit off-topic but last time I have played wow i started to use keybinds (increase dps a lot
).
Now I got a question that I always forget to ask: Can you profile your keybinds?
What do you mean by profile

At some addons you can have some profiles. Like with pitbull(and some other addons), if you want to switch often with two different unitframes, for offspecc, pvp or anything else, you can do that via the profiling system at pitbull.
I would love to have that since I need other keybinds on Noobpower than Dommens.
i believe there is an option

i believe there is an option in the default keybinds menu to make them chaacter specific.

thanks
I can't cast that yet
Submitted by Sephy on Thu, 04/02/2010 - 14:59.
With so many macros do you get a lot of "I can't cast that yet"? I tried queuing up a set of rogue abilities but it seems that the tick cooldown between instants prevents more than the first ability from actually going off. Do you know if it is possible to insert a time delay in a macro, to "wait" for the next command to be performed?
The only spells i have
Submitted by Coyy on Thu, 04/02/2010 - 15:10.
The only spells i have Macro'd are the ones off of GCD so i link them like this:
Pet attack (off GCD)
Serpent Sting
OR
/cast Silence shot (off GCD)
/cast Aimed Shot
I dont have my silence shot macro'd to steady as i found it did seem to clip it to some extent, i am not sure if it was a lag issue at my end or a mechanic.
I know blizzard did change the whole macro set up a few patched back to try and prevent the long dps macros that were floating around. I think (i will check later) that if you macro two skills that are on the GCD the second skill won't fire.

Hey Sephy, I think this macro would work. (copied from wowwiki)
Im not sure if this is what you were looking for.
#showtooltip ExampleSpell1
/run sfx=GetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX");
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/cast Examplespell1
/run UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX",sfx);
/cast ExampleSpell2
Cheers Dommens, i'll give

Cheers Dommens, i'll give that a go next chance I get. Looks like a set of commands to create dummy delays (by performing odd non-combat related tasks like playing sound effects) which could do the trick!
i handle each class
Submitted by Alwyn on Sun, 28/02/2010 - 00:58.
i handle each class completely different. Always been wondering if i'm the only one.
With my mage i rarely use the mouse in combat. tab to select target, and 1-9, shift-1-9, ctrl-1-9 for all the actions.
Only for casting blizzard i use the mouse to select its position.
With my warrior i do everything with the mouse. Targeting and casting.
For the rest i use my mouse for adjusting my view. i like to look at the fight from above to get a good overview of what's happening.
Also since i'm left handed, i use my mouse to steer while running, but up-down keys for moving forward/backward.
