"2. Are you a clicker?
Combination some macros/key bindings"

I believe the correct answer to this question would be yes...

[Starwnd]

I am just curious as to whats up with this steady stream of gawd aweful warriors thinking about joining another guild, whats even more sad is why a 16 year old boy who is on internet paid for by his parents, better of an app then all the others >.< anyone happen to know?

[Tatari]

absolutely not. good luck elsewhere.

[Spiritflame]

TY for your time. Sorry I didnt impress you. I tried to answer as honestly as possible. Furry is my OS and yes it does suck. Must questions were refferene to dps so I linked and answered according to the question.

Any suggestions to improve including add-ons, macros/key bindings, sites?

I'll take this rejection as a challenge to improve.

Once again Thanks for your time.

[Enhasa]

just bind shit to keys so you dont' have to click

change the default actions for keys zxcvfrtgbhy to other keybindings (use ctrl+c for character pane, ctrl+h for honor pane, etc) or get their functions improved by addons (prat for chat, and whatever else...)

those keys right there, combined with modifiers such as shift and ctrl, should offer all the keybinds you need; toss in mouse keybindings with shift and ctrl modifiers and I can't see how you'd run out of keybindings

there, I was semi nice for once

[Bustah]

Probably also a better secondary profession. Probably BS or Engineer.

Also what Sith said. Work on binding more of your abilities. With practice running dungeons etc. they become second nature. Or macro them together, if they're off the GCD or require you to activate them one after the other.

[Lobo]

furry is my mainspec





and my offspec too.

[Tatari]

Do you play with something like YGHJ bound as your movement keys? Your current keybinds are ACTUALLY retarded. All of your major abilities should be in the 1-6 range, and you should never, ever have cooldowns like recklessness and shield wall taking those high-traffic positions. Unfortunately as a tank you can't rely on just mouse movements, as mob positioning gets really sensitive as difficulty increases, so you really need something like WASD +QE bound (but you should know this).

A good tank needs to be able to actually tank with no thought involved so he can pay attention to the fight's mechanics, timers, raid, and everything else that can wipe you. No guild is going to recruit a tank with terrible reaction time who can't pay attention to the fight because he's staring at his action bars trying to figure out why he doesn't have shockwave bound.

edit: I DON'T THINK I GOT THE MESSAGE ACROSS YOU REALLY NEED TO BIND EVERY ABILITY YOU HAVE SO YOU DONT SUCK IT UP except like, retal and vigilance, lols

[Brynmor]

I have almost as many keys bound as you Lobo, only 2 or 3 less I think. When you keybind you can also opt to not show your action bars at all. It saves a lot of space on your screen.

[Lobo]

Yeah that's an old pic, I made a few bars invisible and lowered the opacity way down on the ones that hold cooldowns I still have to pay attention too.

[Brynmor]

Yeah I made a bar on Bartender that has all my cooldowns on it that's set as click-through (you can't click it/interact with it at all) and appears only in combat.

[sskzins]

thats a good idea, i should do that

[Spiritflame]

I just wanted to thank you for inspiring me to improve. With your inspiration and the help from several friends from another server - Straghelm (ReAwaken) my gamaing experience has changed. Now playing with this new UI, add-ons, key bindings and new custom macors, I have no clue how I use to play before.I still have to click my micro bar and bags, thats soon to change but the good note thats outside combat.

So once again thank you.

grats on taking the first step to not sucking which the majority of wow players never do, they just continue to be bad and tell themselves they aren't
