How To -- Movement

[Devitor]

So I have just created another video showing my movement setup for my multiboxering. I used a bit of creative thinking to come up with a method that would be easy to use during PvP to aid in turning and kiting against other players.

The keybindings are as follows --

Master's Keybindings --
Strafe Left - Q / Alt-Q
Forward - W / Alt-W
Strafe Right - E / Alt-E
Turn Left - A / Alt-A
Backwards - S / Alt-S
Turn Right - D / Alt-D

Slave's Keybindings --
Strafe Left - Alt-Q
Forward - Alt-W
Strafe Right - Alt-E
Turn Left - Alt-A
Backwards - Alt-S
Turn Right - Alt-D

I'm not sure how new of an idea it is, but you presented it well. However, I weaned myself of keyboard turning about 1.5 years ago when I got serious into PvP and I'd never want to go in that habit again!

Indeed, nothing new, but nicelly presented.

My advice : Move away from keyboard moving, and use something like a Logitech G13 with a thumbstick for movement. And by all means, turn with mouse, not keyboard.

"bangs head on keyboard"

I'm guilty of keyboard moving and turning...I've been doing it since I started playing wow back in '04. My buddies have always said that's why I suck at pvp. I just haven't been able to kick the habit of using the keyboard to move.

But my slaves just /follow me...so I don't have to send movement keys to them at all.

If you want to kick the habit...

One-box in pvp to learn (or 2-10 whatever, but only 1 is needed).
Unbind WASDQE, unbind the arrow keys.

Have no form of movement bound except for the mouse.
You'll adapt to mouse movement, pretty quickly.
Do it for an afternoon.. like 2-3 hours.

Consider leaving the Strafe keys bound, they're useful for movement and pvp.
If you right click while using a turn key, that strafe's as well.
However, you want to train to not use these keys, so if you keep strafe, ensure its via QE and not AD with mouse clicks.
The whole point is to stop using WASD for pvp movement.

I tend to use W for moving forward, unless I'm using autorun, but I turn with my mouse. I don't see how you could turn with the keyboard, it's slow as hell.


Nice video! I'm gonna have to try making movements for my toons eventually.

the thing is not many people keyboard turn... but you can't turn the slaves without the keyboard... and that's where it becomes useful

I'm not sure why you would want to turn the slaves? If you're talking about facing enemies, use interact with target.

There are times when you need to turn your slaves during mid spell cast if your target has moved behind you. However, other than that, it's rare I need to turn my toons.

What was the song playing in the background? I totally recognize the song but have no idea what the name is.
