Keybinds: The Secret in Dominating WoW

            Want to know the greatest secret in dominating PvPs and Raid encounters in World of Warcraft, or own everyone in a high level Arena fights? Well, if this is the case, you don’t have to look any further, because the answer you’ve been looking for is within your reach. You don’t have to move away from your monitor because the secret of most top level players lies in their keybinds.

            Yes, keybinds is the most important key in the game, and it makes all the difference between an average and pro player. You don’t have to master your rotation or spec, or shift to another class. Although these things are important and certain knowledge about these factors is also needed, but the main point of the game depends on how well you control and interact with your character and all its abilities and functions. And in this part is where a lot of players of WoW fail, they all neglect to pay attention to their keybinds and macros.

            Well, a good reason for this is that, a lot of players who have tried using these special keys find it very difficult and too many to memorize. And yes, it takes a lot of practice and memorization before you can master your keybinds and macros. Each action can be different from each situation, character and class. This is why most of the players of WoW are not familiar or not using this skill, and the truth is, a lot would have never reach this kind of gameplay without using keybinds and macros in the game. However, you don’t want to be one of them, so here is a quick overview of keybinds and macros.

            As you would already notice, the user interface of WoW is composed of a number of action trays or bars. This would be almost the same in all Blizzard user navigation interface. Each action bars is made up of a maximum of 12 slots that you can fill in. This is where you would place your character’s acquired skill, buffs or spells. These icon bars are sometimes small enough that you can hardly notice them when engaged in a high level fight. So Blizzard designed these boxes to be able to be bound to a key in your keyboard for quicker access. The basic interface that players use is to assign the top rows of the number pad in the keyboard to be bounded to the main action tray.

            So as you can see, it’s pretty basic stuff. You can set these keys by hitting escape button in the game and access the options menu and change the assigned keys for each action. It is also partly discussed during the tutorial mode when you are just starting the game for the first time. However, what is not discussed in the tutorial is how you can efficiently assign these keybinds so that you can quickly press the needed action almost by instinct and without having to look at the keyboard or action bar anymore. This Manaview Impulse Review will let you know how you can effectively set your much needed keybinds and start dominating WoW.
