About strafe: I just hold right mouse button to turn, and when you hold it, turn buttons become strafe.

[@mitchelldittes2555]

Ya I used to bind my keys like he says, but I came back to the game and realized it's totally pointless bc I'm p much always holding my RMB... now I leave A and D as turning so that when I'm auto-running, I can adjust w only one hand on either the keys or mouse.

[@Misteradams1]

One thing I've done is shift my movement keys one to the right. That allows my pinky to get in on the keybind action. On my mage it allows me to use my pinky for (A) Ice Block and (Z) Will of the Forsaken. This is the only game I do that on so I have to remember to put my hands in the right place when I put it on the keyboard. When I come back to the game after a while off, the number of times I've Ice Blocked accidentally is astounding. Great video PRat.

[@Purriah]

M Adams most people use pinky for shift modifier only

[@Misteradams1]

@@Purriah Yeah. I still use it for that too. Just a playstyle thing. Like I said, this is the only game I do it in...

[@josephmack1835]

Alright. You convinced me. After 13 years of WoW, I'm going to keybind AD to strafe.

[@HerculeSatan]

@No you did you not pay attention to turning the camera with right-click? Much faster than keyboard turning...

[@HerculeSatan]

@No you I mean to each their own I guess but right-click move mouse is much faster to turn and doing it his way will free up 2 to 3 easy keybinds. Tbh it took me about 30mins to get used to this, but haven't changed since WoD

[@xMaverickFPS]

i use A and D to turn instead of strafe. just right click, and the turn buttons become strafe buttons. Q and E are contextual actionbar buttons (shield bash and hamstring/disarm)

[@kittie_sugar]

Same tbh 🤣 fml can't believe I've struggled all this time. I've always thought to myself aswell "there must be an easy way, i should google it" but then never have... 13 years of procrastination lol

[@kopuz.co.uk.]

@@xMaverickFPS Thats pretty much what i do.

[@dredd4610]

Your vids are great. Love the IV drip of content to keep me satiated for the next two weeks.

[@Myshob1]

If you hold down the right mouse button like you do anyway, A and D will make you strafe even if they're bound to turn ;) So if you're like me and can't live without turn binds, you don't have to (even though they're useless). The only problem is with addons like vuh'do when you have click actions on a unit frame assigned to spell casts, you can't strafe and clickcast (i.e. HoTs) at the same time, but in classic, there are imho no mechanics that would require that.

[@k1mpman]

i think the point is that turning the camera is not as efficient with the keys because, as you say, rmb is used a lot which is a easy way to turn camera and if you're not holding down rmb, you're probably doing something more important than to turn the camera(finding a target to heal for example). In this situation, if you need to move your character you only have W as a viable option unless you want to backpeddle if you haven't rebound your A+D key. If you're standing in fire, too close to onyxias tail or need to quickly move in the midst of targeting someone for a heal, the turn camera with A+D is the opposite of helpful. Obviously everyone needs to play the way which benefits them so nobody should dictate how you play, but personally I cannot see how turning the camera with a+d would be beneficial rather than using rmb.

[@FishStickDip]

In the spirit of unbinding turn left/turn right, you can also unbind backpedal

[@WorldOfDeepThought]

That's why I did to get rid of that bad habit.

[@drbeef5054]

Nicholas Pfau agreed, I remember when I first unbound it in wrath it was hard to get used to so I binded one of my most important cds (howl of terror) to make me consciously fear accidentally hitting it. Till this day 'S' is my howl button lol

[@KC_604]

Damn that’s a good idea it’s a habit I’m trying to break so I’m gonna un bind and try this

[@rothbart_wow640]

While you're unbinding turn left / turn right, you should change from WASD to ESDF for movement binds. That opens up additional easy keys for binding to the left of your movement keys.

[@slicplaya]

This is what i did a lonnnng time ago.

[@gabrielgdiogo]

[@TWISTED924]

If I ever want to learn something new about classic or wow in general this channel helps a lot. Thanks

[@BlackBirds93]

The thing about the strafe jump is I have been doing that for 15 years without changing the A and D keybinds. Q and E have always been important ability keybinds to me, I have never had anything bound to strafe left or right as holding down the right mouse button and pressing A or D results in the same thing

[@lanecruiser6535]

Came here to say this

[@Punkrat]

​@@lanecruiser6535 yes, but when u let go...it reverts to keyboard turning. which is bad...you want to "hover" when not mouse turning, not keyboard turn. look at what im doing on the rogue portion of the video against the dwarves in BRD

[@jonpaul6948]

You cannot use your mouse to target when doing this, or even see the cursor on the screen, or click some non-essential skill you can't be bothered to keybind. It's not a substitution for having strafe bound, as there is literally no situation in WoW where turning with the keyboard is better than using your mouse. You lose NOTHING by binding strafe, and lose a couple of arguably important things when using rightclick exclusively. Doing something for years doesn't mean you've been doing it correctly.

[@Punkrat]

@@jonpaul6948 yes you can...thats t he point of jumping. You jump and click, if you're fast, you lose nothing, thats why you see gladiators always jumping when they play.

[@Punkrat]

@@jonpaul6948 thats also why u keep your camera on never adjust

[@nathanarievlis3985]

Just recently started playing with the re- release again and content like this is a help getting back up to speed. Nice work and delivery ,bro. Thx

[@WintersW0lf]

I change Q, E to be hotkeys, but I also change z, x, c, v - and then bind char panal to be shift+c while adding in ctrl+f (generally what I use for mounting), ctrl+r, shift+f, shift+r and your normal ctrl/shift # hotkeys. That generally gives me more than enough hotkeys to quickly access all my main spells / abilities. If i'm playing hunter, I make scroll up pet attack, scroll down pet follow and just change zoom to ctrl+scroll.

[@ParanoiaFlexess]

Thanks for that little demonstration with your webcam on your buttons was really insightful and helpful for my new experience as a brand new warrior :)

[@Kholdaimon]

1 thing: don't (always) strafe-kite while tanking in raids! Just move backwards, if you move to fast away from your healers you can easily get out of range of their heals... Example is Onyxia, you run in, draw aggro and pull Onyxia to the back of the room, everyone runs after you but healers have to stop running to heal you, if you run to fast, you can easily run out of range... Happened to me...

[@forestdenizen6497]

You really want to have back pedal available when tanking.

[@puffin-onehandedgamer1164]

this skill is very good to learn for later on at 60 when you have to do your hunter quest for the Rok'delar and Lok'delar bow and staff. you have to kite hard hitting demons, the one in Winterspring is especially annoying asnd you kite him all around the area or along the road.

[@zachwithnok]

So, I don't understand the emphasis on jumping while kiting. I know it continues your momentum through the jump, but it's the same distance as just strafing and you can control the camera the same way without jumping. However, you can't complete your auto attack while you're in the air.

[@atorrance]

Ya I agree. I don’t think the jumping is really needing for auto shots unless you just use it as a built in timer that happens to sync up with your bow speed. It makes a ton of sense for spell casters tho. Classic shaman move is to jump while in ghost wolf to get the speed/momentum and then as your in the air cast a totem or shock or something. So really useful for instant spells.

[@Ryan_hey]

No, it's not required, but it's easier. The time that it takes to perform 1 jump is usually the minimum amount of time between most auto-attacks, so it's a much easier way to "measure" rather than trying to walk-strafe perfectly each time. Of course, with a slower weapon, then it you're going to have to walk-strafe regardless.

[@Marcelo-0000]

Imo it makes way easier for hunters to time the auto shot since it requires you to stand still, I feel that coming back from a jump makes your character to be still easier than stop pressing the movement key.

[@zachwithnok]

@@Marcelo-0000 That gap in time between your jump and your weapon swing time will vary greatly over time though. Basically, if 1 jump takes 1.5 seconds, but your swing timer is 2.6 you either have to wait for the difference of 1.1 seconds or lose .4 seconds to do a second jump. If you run and stop though, you can time this up exactly.

[@forestdenizen6497]

One reason is to momentarily free up the finger holding the strafe button, to press something else.

[@BlackBirds93]

My favorite thing about Punkrat videos showing up in my subscriptions is hearing: *yo guys punkratwithanothervideo*

[@Jimmywinkel]

I strafe with the mouse. done that for 15 years. your way is easier to learn though but a tad unflexible - so kind of opposite of you :P

[@PeterDB90]

If you have your A and D bound to turning, you can still do it exactly how he shows. I don't understand why anyone needs to bind A and D to strafe since they already strafe when you hold right-click (which he DOES in this video).

[@Jimmywinkel]

@@PeterDB90 exactly

[@jonpaul6948]

Because when you strafe holding right click, you are unable to use your mouse to target without letting go of it.

[@mr.hostility8970]

Used an N52 in Vanilla. Recommend the razr version.

[@bergtroll9393]

I have been using RDFG to walk for over 10 years now. It allows me to use my little finger on W,S,Q,A and TAB without impairing my movement, which I do with all the other fingers (if you include jump on SPACE). I see only advantages over WASD, so I really don't get why everybody uses that. I recommend trying something else, it might stick just like it did for me.

[@garymills390]

Interesting concept, but what button do you use for self-target? I've experimented with ESDF because my thumb can still slide to alt. I just tried RDFG after your comment and I find it a bit of a stretch

[@jonpaul6948]

@@garymills390 Yeah, Ctrl is an essential keybind modifier, as is Alt for me. RDFG messes up the positioning on both of those keys, making Ctrl an impossible stretch and Alt a slightly irritating roll of the thumb under my hand. The few keys you gain from it pale in comparison to the easily hit Ctrl and Alt modified number keys, so Im gonna stick with what works.

[@dex4308]

I play with a razor speed pad , so I move with a small thumb joystick to the right of the pad. It works very well when combine with a mouse .

[@acrophis]

Don't most people just hold the right mouse button and use the turn left/right keys to strafe? I've always unbound Q and E to use them for spells instead.

[@Jmdwolfy161]

This, there's no reason to bind a and d to strafe when you're using your right click all the time anyway. That way you still have turning on the same keys as strafe technically.

[@xhulkdieselx]

Yup

[@MClollolol]

You should just use QWE instead and use ASD for abilities

[@DriftNick]

@@Jmdwolfy161 Using A and D for strafe means you can use your mouse to aim a skill/item (like engineering bombs) while moving.

"Yo guys, Punkrat with an awesome video." Love your stuff, man. Wish we would be playing in the same server!

[@kamileon9958]

thank you for going over the keybinding skill ive been struggling with that skill :)

[@MrGrilledcheeseits]

I use a razar tartarus, and it has a joystick which makes movement so much easier. I literally only use my thumb for jumping, running, and directional movement. The macro function on it literally allows me to reduce rotation to 2 buttons in classic and all gameplay to 7 buttons.

[@mellowblossom4039]

mouse button one and 2 are strafe, and i double click to run forward. None of my movement keys are on the keyboard I move only with mouse. This gives me an array of keybinds most people don't have, and it has improved quality of life for me massively. Took 1 week to get used to.

[@tompowell1920]

Nice video :) I think you explained the benefit in changing your A and D keys rather well, if people want to continue using right-click resulting in keyboard turning then let them, they are holding themselves back. Timing is everything in pvp and some classes require more binds than the next and you can't always be holding right-click to strafe if you're trying to maximise survivability and damage output as it limits how much you can move your camera around to spot incoming enemies because it will change your direction.

[@tompowell1920]

That split second of keyboard turning to turn your camera and initiate auto-run could be the difference for you surviving as it might alter that hunter viper stinging/slowing you or that warrior being in range to hamstring you etc.

[@erlilun91]

#showtooltip Shadow Bolt /cast [nomodifier,target=target] Shadow Bolt /cast [mod:alt,target=mouseover] Shadow bolt Change the spell as needed, or alt to shift/ctrl, whichever you prefer. This will cast shadow bolt on your target, or your mouse over target, if alt clicked. Tested on stress test. For pet classes, you can also #showtooltip Shadow Bolt /petattack [nomodifier,target=target] /petattack [mod:alt,target=mouseover]

[@MrRickstopher]

I'm trying my damdest to master strafe-kiting. I think I'm getting it and your videos are helping a lot.

[@BroxigarZ]

You didn’t touch on the most important part of strafe kiting it’s actually most important for melee during leveling - you get dazed, no parry, and Crit easier from behind. Strafe kiting as melee keeps you facing forward if you do it right keeping your shield block, parry and such capable of decreasing damage. You can kite mobs this way to other mobs taking the least amount of damage possible.

[@billjensen51]

I have three additions to the list. 1. Learn how to be prepared for a dungeon raid by bringing needed mats/pots/food etc as well as showing up to the location before hand (unless you have a lock and friends to summon you). 2. Learn to roll for loot you only need and be willing to bypass some others need more. Unless you are a hunter then need on everything. 3. Learn to CC, and not break the CC. I would add not pulling for the tank but threat management covers that.

With regards to strafing; If you hold right click, Turn Left/Right becomes Strafe anyway; so this tip is un-necessary and simply removes the ability to turn left/right if you need to.

[@jonpaul6948]

You cannot click to target, or on non-essential skills you don't keybind, when using this method. Strafing should be keybound. You should never need to "turn" right or left, that should always be done with the mouse unless you suffer from some disability.

To turn the screen and see, you need to click the Mouse anyways. So right click strafe would actually be less og a hassle

[@Ratatosk80]

Regarding mouseover macros you mentioned in the end of the video. Mouseover works fine in classic. Also worked on private servers 1.12.1. I basically put all my ranged skills as mouseovers when I played on private servers. Just find it more fun and smooth. Only trouble is the lack of macro slots. Wasn't a problem on private servers because of the addon supermacro which gave you something like 30 extra slots. For classic though that addon is not going to get converted to best bet for mouseover is to just use it for a few skills otherwise you will run out of slots.

why would you bind a and d to strafe when if you have a and d for turning you can still strafe with a and d by holding right click. binding strafe to a and d might be easier but its definetly not the optimal way to play the game.

[@DriftNick]

Except it is the optimal way to play, there is no reason to ever use a and d to turn, keybinding strafe allows you to use your mouse to aim stuff like grenades and mouse over macro's easily.

Hey, I really enjoy your channel. I'm curious to know if you have ever done any multi-boxing (playing multiple toons at the same time). That would make an interesting video for sure. We have a multi-boxer in our guild...mains a hunter and plays 5 toons simultaneously.

I think overusing AOE is going to be an issue in Classic. Some mobs hit really hard and if the tank has three of those mobs they need to be killed one at a time before the healer runs out of mana and the tank runs out of health.

Overuse of AoE (and bad threat management in general), ignoring CC potential, wanting to pull too fast, messing up pets so they run around something and pull dozens of packs potentially, there's so many things spoiled live players will have to get used to quick ^^ Especially as finding a new group (unless you're in a guild) will be harder than just turning on LFG and loading pornhub/netflix

For the first one, if your holding right click you will straf without changing the key binds

What's the deal with jumping? Moving backwards is the same speed and you have control over the exact amount of time you spend moving, eg 1 gcd for a melee kiting back or the 2.30 attack speed of your hunter's bow, maximizing your distance.

Ok granpa

@@Punkrat Listen here, you whippersnapper. Back in my day, you didn't do that fraggin jumping and hoopin thing unless you was one of them kiddie boppers.

Imo fun is more important than efficiency while leveling and strafe kiting gets tedious pretty quickly for me, but I plan on maining a shaman and it's easier to do and less necessary at the same time (especially once WF is learned), as long as I keep up with my gear I should be able to just auto attack and self heal between pulls as necessary

[@Ytinasniiable]

And it's more fun because I have to pay less attention and can do other stuff at the same time, like watch KZbin
