Talk:Hotkeys

Aquatic Form
I'm suprised that you put this one as north pole. I do make frequent use of it. In pvp, if you are close to water and need to make an exit... Go for the water, most just won't be able to follow you in there.

However, it is extremely rarely macroed on it own. It is mostly used as part of a travel form macro which chooses the right mode of travel depending on the situation. Such macros are extremely well known and extensively used. That macro is easily a red hot button as it also serves as a powershift button. Breaking snares as feral, or snares and root as moonkin and resto is something you must do to survive. Mobility is key to playing a druid, and not taking full advatage of that will land you dead very quickly. Aquatic Form is part of that mobility.

I will also underline that in Vashj'ir, the speed difference between a glyphed Aquatic Form and your sea horse are very similar. One is insta cast, the other takes 4 or 5 seconds to use... I won't think too long about which one I'm going to use.

Macros and this page...
I will also take the oportunity to underline one simple fact. Simply listing abilities won't work. As I demonstrated with Aquatic Form, some abilities are less used, but are themselves an integral part of a red hot button. Hence, mentioning abilities on their own won't give a true measure of the possibilities which suround it. I do beleive that you cannot speak of ability importance and priority without speaking of those macros which veteran class player might consider as required to play the class properly.

Purpose
Don't think I see the purpose of this... Is the point of this telling people where to place their abilities on their action bars? 01:05, January 26, 2010 (UTC) - No, the aim for this page and the pages linking off it is to help people with mains etc plan where they are going to place there keys of leveling alts.

I run into looking for a page like this when i started leveling alts. We all place diffent things on diffent keys so giving a guide of where to place your keys are not going to help anyone. Diffent people play the same class diffent ways.

The aim of this page is to let you look into a alt you are planning and plan where there keys are going to be at level 80. This way peopel dont need to redo there keybindings at level 80. Since you know where all your keys are since you placed them where you did for your own reason.

Think of it like....

You are planning on rolling a mage which you never played before, so you dont know what spells you are going to be using alot at level 80. Using the mage pages you can find out that mages use a lot of fireball. So you can pop that on the same key as your Heroic Strike. You spam both abilitys as much as each class.

So when you do get to level 80 and even when leveling you dont force your fingers to learn a new play style unless you what to. So you dont get confussed when relogging from one toon to the other since you use the same fingers to do similor attacks and be quite affected.

I dont play a mage or a warrior so i just guessing at the abilitys. I may be right (and hope so) or i may be wrong (more that licky). But i hope that makes it a lot more easyer to understand what i trying to do.

Thinking about it at colage today it may be better to have one page per class and pop all specs on the same page and just hide each spec intill you press unhide. But i dont know how to do that yet :P
