how do you have your bars arranged?

[Mac]

I copied over a new instance of wow to test with, installed Trinity 2.0, I'm such a noob I couldn't figure it out, so I deleted that test instance of wow and have been making due with the default bars, but I'm only running one class.

[Depherios]

My biggest issue has been boss fights. Lots of boss' seem to have a gimmick - and I end up creating some macro (or 2) to deal with that boss. Once the macro is there, I'm set and the boss goes down fast. Do I then delete the macro? No. I put it on a bar slot, name it, and leave it for the next time I do that instance.

There's a wonderful addon that helps with that... IHML -- auto swaps a macro depending on conditionals.

Personally I have 20 buttons on screen that I use with a Saitek Cyborg Command Pad (think n52) -- and give it modifiers, but I use infinibar to give me the modifiers so I don't just have CTRL, ALT, SHIFT, but all the combinations of the 3.

Although the new NO DOWNRANKING change will free up quite a few buttons on my bars T_T

I'm using TrinityBars 2.0 with two button bars. The first is 8x4 and maps 1-6,q-y,a-h,z-n with four left over to map to extra mouse buttons (which in-turn map to NUMPAD keys). The second bar is 3x6 and are mapped to my G15 keys. Since I'm on a mac, I don't use the Logitech driver and use ControllerMate instead. This allows the top four buttons (M1-M3,MR) to be used to switch button pages. This gives me a total of.... *counts on fingers and toes*... 20 bajillion keys.

Of course, then I took it a step further, got an XKeys and went crazy with mapping. I can now move all of my toons independantly without moving the mouse - and all at the same time. I can create and use a Soul Stone in battle, conjure water, create mana gems, use mana gems... all of it with bindings that are easy to get to while I am playing.

I'm still considering getting an XKets and I'd like to know how you laid out the group and individual movements and what keybindings you used.

Well, here's my template. Note that the "No-Target AoE" has since changed to add Seed of Corruption for my warlock (I posted that macro in another thread).

Also, a lot of these keys server "double duty" - Alt+"Create Soulstone" actually creates the SS, whereas hitting the button alone applies the SS to my priest (if she is alive) or my Pally Tank (if the priest isn't alive)

F9-F12 are my CC target setup macros (which is why they are right next to the CC). Each of the heal spells is a Flash Heal, unless the modifier below is held (so Shift-Heal Priest casts Renew on the priest).

Ctrl-Warlock Pet attack recalls the pet... things like that.

I could go into my bindings for hours. I really put too much work into it. I litterally created a database in SQL to determine all possible mappings and which were available. With movement you also need to avoid "mapping collision" I decided on Ctrl-Alt-"Key" for movement ... so nothing else uses that combination. I then just did 3x2 sections of the keyboard starting with R for Mage2, and so on:

Ctrl-Alt-:

RTY | FGH

That's mage2's movement (R is Strafe Left, T is move forward, etc)

The warlock is the one that got scrunched - so that is BNM | ,./

For the "All Move" - that is for all clones to move together. That uses the standard arrow keys. Shift-Left/Shift-Right = Strafe, and Ctrl-Up is spread up, Ctrl-Down is spread down etc.
