Just a quick question for anyone who has the time. I was just wondering what a good key binding setup for pvp is. I'm getting close to 70 and I was looking for some advise on how I should have my keyboard set up for using spells and abilities if I want to be able to succeed in the BG's and arena.

I currently use qwe to move forward and strafe, and the normal wow tool bar to use abilities, and the mouse to turn and select targets. I know theres probably a quicker and more efficient way to fight in pvp, so if anyone could help me out with some suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

I can't tell you what key bindings will work perfectly for you. What I can do is give a list of abilities that you should have key binded at all times.
*Note* Although every ability has a time and place, some are used a lot more frequently than others. For example, Blessing of Sacrifice is generally used less than Flash of Light. I believe that it's the less frequently used abilities that need to be key binded for maximum return.

- Blessing of Protection
- Blessing of Sacrifice
- Blessing of Freedom
- Hammer of Wrath
- Medallion of the Horde as well as any other trinkets you use in PvP. With Medallion of the Horde or Insignia of the Horde binded, I can get outta fear faster than a warlock can say "huh"
- Divine shield: Although this may seem like a no brainer, the 5 minute CD may deter some from keybinding it.
- Auto attack: right clicking your intended target can be a bit difficult in a situation where there are a lot of people in the same area.
Since I'm a Blood elf, I also have arcane torrent binded as well. I hope this helps you a little bit.

Bind your 3 most used skills to mouse scroll up, down and push. Bind a 4th to button four if you have one. Do the same for ctrl, shift and alt modifiers and you have 16 buttons mapped without using your keyboard (other than the modifiers)

If you want my listing I can give you a quick onceover. Use mouse to Move (except when I am lazy, IE just going from Adal to the bank) and tab to target, i only use mouse if there are alot of targets (AV Fight)


~ BoF, shift + ~ is BoF on 2s partner
1 Judgement, shift+1 Exorcism
2 CS, shift HoW
3 justice, shift Wisdom, alt Crusader
4 SoC (Max Rank), shift is lowest rank
5 is consecration, shift is perception
6 is holy light

R - PvP Trinket
Shift + E - PvE Trinket (AP)

C - HoJ
v- Repentance
b- Cleanse

Shift +R Cleanse specific target.

f1 is Bubble
f3 is AW

BAckspace is BoP on my partner. There are more but I am to lazy to list them, like BoS, etc etc.


My mouse is ******** up, so I can't use it to bind, but it would have things like heal target, bandage, BoP self.
