So just downloaded bartender to get my bars set and clean. And the thought struck me, what if i bind spells to w, a, s, d and use use the mouse to move with. So I just want to ask to anyone that might reply here whetever it is practical, due to mobility and such or not? And are you speaking out of experience from have tried it before or is having a set of keys on your keyboard used for movement just plain logic?
For the moment i am mostly tanking, but im probably gonna do a little PvP later(oh yeah im a warrior). Also does the need for mobility differ in PvE than from PvP? Like could i do so in PvE but not PvP?
The reason i ask is because i really want to have all my keybindings around a set center, i rarely find myself stretching my fingers as long as the 0-button. The longest i can stretch without removing my hand from the default movement keys is the 7-button but that again isn't comfortable.
Thanks in advance

A lot of people move their WASD to ESDF to buy a few more keys on the left, as well as being able to reach further on the right. I've never tried binding movement to secondary mouse buttons, but I would be concerned with mouseclick movement (besides turning) affecting targeting.

Auto-run is the only way I move forward.

i don't know a lot of tanking or keybinding, but how would you handle those encounters where you have to kite mobs around?
as far as i know, that usually means walking backwards while hitting the mobs to keep agro up. Would need a keybind on your mouse for that aswell then.

It all depends on how many buttons you have on your mouse. It could probably work alright, I think I'd be able to play with if I used, for example, a Naga.

Yep. Druid. Check my post history
:)
. It's pretty well divided between Druid and UI&M. I don't post anywhere else with any regularity.
I was a tank all through T4, 5 and 6. Then switched to DPS for T8, 9 and 10. I'm tanking for T11 until my guild gets its tank situation sorted.

Well, I knew you're a frequent poster over at Druid - but not that you were a tank
:P
