How to Add HotKeys to Spells in World of Warcraft
I want to let you in on a secret for the game
World of Warcraft. For some of you this may be old news but for
others, this will improve your gaming skill in WoW immensely. The
tip is using hotkeys for your spells and actions in the World of
Warcraft. What hotkeys are are shortcuts that you click to initiate
a spell. So if you pressed q for example you would shoot arcane
shot. Doing so will increase your average leveling time and will
make you a better fighter in player vs player battles including
battlegrounds.
It has been proven effective by the best players
in the world. It is much more efficient than clicking each spell
with your mouse. At first it will feel awkward but you will get the
hang of it in minutes! I did a little test for myself using hotkeys
for 10 minutes grinding and then using only my mouse grinding the
same mob for ten minutes. Using hotkeys I killed 8 more mobs than I
did using only my mouse. In the long run that will save you
literally days if you level from 1-70.
I will now tell you exactly how you can set your
hot keys.
Firstly make sure you have enough toolbars for
all your spells to be on your user interface (U.I). You can add
action bars by pressing escape to bring up your menu, now click
interface, then click actionbars. Now you can select which
actionbars you want to be displayed in your U.I.
Now to add hotkeys to your spells. Add your
spells to the action toolbars where you please. Now press escape
again. This will bring up the options menu. Click the Key Bindings
option. Now scroll down until you see action bar bindings and also
MultiActionBar Bindings for your addon action bars you added in the
paragraph previous. Now you can click and bind whatever key you want
to the spot where your spell is. Presto, you have added hotkeys to
your spells!
It will take a few minutes to get used to them
especially if you have only used your mouse your whole life so just
get used to it. Trust me, it will help you in the long run.
