How to be a BETTER Healer in Arena | Dragonflight

What a great video. I was looking for someone who shows his keyboard while using spells. Never used shift for binding. Thanks !

I suggest to use for example razer naga (or similar) + keyboard steelseries merc, for me is the best combination if you don't want to use a huge number of combinations with "shift+" or "control+".

I wish I could just bind everything to my keyboard but I have short fingers so I have to just bind everything to my logitech g600 MMO mouse and use my modifiers along with that

Ty Cdew. Been following you to get my mini wow PvP fix I missed from vanilla... With classic 3 days away I got a new comp and needed some brushing up. This was perfect. I saw a sneak peek of your next vid and I can't wait! That's next lvl there. I was a glad rogue s1-3 and no one ever used any double spells to keys. That's brilliant and I have seen it yet but it makes sense. I just never thought to do it. Kicking down the spacial limits of your keyboard is beautiful... Thinking beyond the box. Plz keep up the work. Beautiful
Why don't you use an orbweaver though? Is it comfort? I used asd for my comp. Have a rare keyboard that has the alt and shift/Ctrl keys in beautiful space allowing more keys on pinky. Ty sir

Cdew. It'd help if you shared your mouse, keyboard and also even your chair and ambient room settings. Every surrounding affects your PvP play when you're playing a game of .05 seconds. Hell, even your health. Eating healthy and staying hydrated will make you better than mdew and dorritos. Anyways just a suggestion. PvP runs through my veins and these are some techniques I'd like to share with you as you've shared you dual spell keybonds. Ty.

Interesting. Depending on the variables of your keyboard, hand size, dexterity, and quickness the keys can be very different. For me alt is as natural as f, but Ctrl feels odd. Great insight.

My favorite classic/vanilla areas were Feralas and Winterspring. I'd get lost there and forget to level/grind.

I miss burning steppes cause you know im fire mage xD

Any way to remap alt key to a mousebutton instead?

A little late, but, if you haev a reprogrammble mouse, bind your mouse side buttons (mouse 4/5) to alt, ctrl, or shift, depending on preference, this allows much easier and faster modifier usage. i personally use ctrl on the side of my mouse since that one is the most awkward key for me to press on the keyboard

Completely new to wow, starting classic when I get back home from thanksgiving week with family, these vids are super helpful.


I just wanna make sure to at least build good basics, thanks for the post!



Have decided already on making a night elf rogue which I hear is a bit popular lol.

are keybindings personal preference?

USE YOUR PALM TO PRESS CTRL!! When putting your left hand on the normal wasd position, the part of your palm just below the pinky should more or less touch the control key. Using it to push CTRL leaves all of your finger free to do other stuff, without any "wierd angles". May not work on keyboards with very flat keys. Friend of mine showed me that years ago, best gaming tip I ever got.

Hey Bro, um using @mouse over...didnt work when in in pressure. I didnt understand How do vou get The target enemy anos friendly. And for pve? Addon? Click + 1,2,3?

My favorite zone from vanilla is actually westfall.
Coming out of elwynn forrest it was the first zone past the starting point. I loved the vibe of the place, back when our view distance was like 5yards due to shitty computers you couldnt really see that far, which made the zone look so much bigger and in turn more mysterious. And I started to realize how frickin' big and varied this game was going to be. So it felt incredibly expansive, it felt mysterious, it felt more dangerous and overall just felt like I was at the beginning of a very long and contentfilled adventure with my friends ^^,

This is awesome, and despite you mention basic aspects, it's good to see other person's opinion about this basic aspects, in order to progress firmly and keep up. Very explanatory, thanks a lot for the guide

I can't use cntrl or mouse buttons ... So I don't have enough binds what can I do?

This is what im confused with:

If i use for example F1,F2,F3=Focus arena 1,2,3 > Let's say my target is Arena1, and i pressed F2(because it's healer, so now it's my focus target),
while im doing dps on the Arena1 target, what If i want to stun Arena3?, does that mean that I need for example: 5 Keybinds for my [Stun Ability],
1. For my Current Target.
2. Focus Target.
3. Arena1.
4. Arena2.
5. Arena3.

???
Or is there any better efficient way of doing stuff like this, i dont understand please help :D

I find it very comfortable to have my main attack abilities to be mouse wheel and shift+mouse wheel

Amazing video, thanks alot Cdew!

Some on your binds say (a-6) what does this mean?

Thank you Cdew.

tips for not so long fingers like me, i use zxcs as movement so i can reach more keys and have more bindings also im using alt shift and ctrl modifiers. in also using a macro. cheers 😊

bruh those tooltips are confusing af

As an FPS player that plays Wow, the lack of keyboard tilt was mindblowing

Did this video come out before mouseover macros? I use mouseover macro on all my heals. I could mouseover to heal pets.. i think finna log on to double check

I use a razer naga and cast ALL Spells with my thumb (plus my pinky for modifiers). Naga has 12 buttons on the side, Shift modifier gives me 24 buttons accessible from my thumb, Alt gives me another 12 for a total of 36. I've been doing it for years and I think i just wouldnt play wow if I didnt have an MMO mouse lol

That mouse pad lol

Thanks for this. I've been struggeling hard with keybinds.

wet lands lolol

This is awesome. So many videos tell you to use this and that keybind but completely dismiss the 'How to', the simple, practical aspect of it. I was somehow still using my mouse and clicking like a mad man, til i reach that point in pvp where i clearly had to force myself and keybind everything. Took me a few weeks tbh to get used to it but the final result was a huge improvement, clearly i was playing much faster, i was more efficient with my team etc etc... . Anyway, this is so useful and applicable. Thank you !

You could use a cast sequence macro with a short reset for pet targeting perhaps. I'm not even sure what the command to target friendly pet is though.

totally agree ,for newcomers it could be a huuuuuge help , i mean the universal binding.. i play since bc, and back then i was clicking too, wasnt even knew what the spells are cuz i didnt spoke english , but after years ive slowly built up my binds, and now days it has it worth .. just started to play a warlock since days ago, never really played, but my universal binds prevents me to do mistakes... cuz if i want to do some kind of actions ,my brain wants to press a special button, for example i wanna slow someone, i dont even know what my slowing curse's name are, but my brain presses C for it cuz my earthbind is on C, my harmstring is on C, or if i need fast movement,but it has a cooldown, i know that i press shift +5 cuz my spirnt is on it, my tigers lust on it,my dash on it, so ofc that burning thing on my lock is on it :'D etc etc .. so go on guys ,big wisdom what Cboi speaks :D

Thx for the video, it’s very useful I’ve been playing since TBC and I learned something new today. My favorite zone I think it’s behind where you record your video, I don’t remember the name but it’s a zone full of demons.

Do most ppl use the keyboard to move. I only use my mouse. Is that a bad habit?

Winter spring: I spent a lot of time there grinding winter saber mount. Ages ago.

gem, absolute gem

OMG I played my fair share of alts. I just recently took up demon hunter, and once I laid out my keybindings to closely resemble my universal keybindings, they don't make sense. Thanks for suggesting to go redo them when this happens.

hey @Cdew How about swapping between PvP and PvE keybinds?

You know you are an original when you use F keys for targeting.

its 2023 and this video has been so informational .. omg Thanks CDEW

Played Wow in 2008 and now back in 2022 in Dragonflight and want to do more PVP content - great video and great advices! Was watching time to time your videos mate eventho I havent played WoW - you are one of the best PVP players in the world and super nice guy - thanks for all hard work, videos and tips!

Dont forget to use your wheel up and down and keybind it with modifiers, easy 8keybinds, specially useful for meles

For anyone revisiting this video and struggle with modifiers, a lot of mice allow you to map shift/ctrl to mouse button 4 and 5

im not a warcraft player. I'm using your movement and keybinding information to apply to my opther games.

I dont use ctrl with my pinky but with the part of the hand just below the pinky

I only play 2s. Mouse button 4 target self mouse button 5 target party1. Alt 1 target arena 1, alt 2 target arena2
