Everyone has their favorite, but absurd keybind combinations, right? And everyone also surely has a favorite wipe caused by a not-that-great keybind setup. Or a foolishly pressed macro. Or maybe just because some don’t want to be part of the clique, and do M+ the hardcore way, with a standard WoW interface. Today we’re taking a look at some of these, as players share their stories.
The Binding of the Keys
SwagVonYolo wondered what some of the most absurd keybind combinations players kept, and the reasons why, starting with their own Protection Paladin and Priest keybinds and the amusing reasoning behind them. Those left-click bindings…
As BluegrassGeek says, let’s got with an immediate double-take, and some crazy 18 button setups, with strafing bound to the side keys of a mouse.
Next, we have a complicated Druid macro by willquill, allowing them to easily change forms with a one button press. It even changes what it does, depending on the situation they’re in, and the place they’re at. Maybe even what time of day it is, and their hunger level? In any case, quite handy.
Chrisbbacon312 provides an interesting description of his buddy’s Blood DK in action. That mouse must surely feel warm and cuddled.
Speaking of wipe stories and faulty macros, Reniconix has a real banger of a tale to share from way back when and OG Icecrown Citadel. Always watch where you bind your keys.
There’s also more than a few ESDF’rs around, just slightly nudging the keybinds to the right, to create some finger real estate space on the left.
Some also just want to be fast. And perhaps furious?
There’s plenty more very specific keybind setups in the thread, since they can arguably make or break a game. People also spend countless hours on their setups and can be rather temperamental about them, which is where the humorous naysayers come in. Always at the end.
So, what’s your most insane keybind setup, macro, and related wipes?
