Frost is nice in that you barely get hit. It's kinda boring killing stuff before it can touch you.

Fire is a bit more exciting to me.

 

[notworksafe]

There's that WoW mouse that has a shitload of buttons and movement stuff on the mouse. That'd be cool to use, I'd imagine.

Neat. What else do you guys use? I have so many binds that it's just brutal. Especially for returning to a character after a long time.

DO NOT GET THAT PIECE OF SHIT. It's awful, and I actually bought it about two years ago.

Razer Naga might be sufficient, or maybe the Cooler Master Inferno Storm?

 

[Osaka]

YOU RANG?

 

[Flib]

Naga really changed the game for me, as silly as I thought it was at first. Helps with reaction times so much, fantastic while tanking. Once you get used to it, you don't think about it at all.

:O I had no idea it was so terrible. I just use a Razer Mamba myself (got one on sale )

How would you play WoW on a gamepad?

I use WASD to move and for abilities:
1-5, Sh+1-3
Q, E, R, T, G, V, C, X, Z and Sh modifiers on all of those except C, X, Z.

How does that fit onto a pad?

So you need WASD and 23 abilities bound?

I'm not sure how i'd set this up, but I'm thinking about getting it. There's a mode switch where you don't have to hold a modifier at all.

-8 directional thumb d-pad for movement. Hopefully you can set up north west as forward left strafe and etc. (edit, looks like if you disable the diagonals, then it works like a normal 8 direction)
-14 buttons without a modifier
-24 with 1 modifier

Combined with that Naga...wouldn't have to use a modifier.

1 finger movement just seems amazing.

speedpad* lol

Thing is, numbers 7 - 12 aren't that easy to press. My thumb would be bending way too much to be comfortable. At least with my big hands. CM Storm Inferno seems nice, but no shop here carries that mouse and I kinda want to feel it first.

 

[Macattk15]

I want to start on a new server come Cata .... but I can't leave my trusty heirlooms for multiple armor types behind

I thought that too (I have large hands as well), but you just need to map lesser used abilities there. My Bear setup on 4.01 (different in cata) is:

1-Maul 2-Swipe 3-Mangle
3-Lacerate 4-Pulverize 5-Skull Bash
7-Growl 8-Faerie Fire 9-Feral Charge
10-Berserk --Bash =Demoralizing Roar

Then I have my cooldowns on shift. Works well for me.

 

[Milpool]

I've been using a CyberSnipa Game Pad for a while now and I really like it. Keys 1-0 are comfortably available while using WASD without any strain. It's hard to go back after using the butterfly WASD keys, I had a zboard fang with a similar layout which I stupidly sold and can't find in the UK any more.

Heh, I had one of those too. The problem was it's size, even if I had it overlapping my mouse mat I still had to stretch to reach the WASD keys. If they ditched the number pad it might have been usable for me.

You have your main skills bound on your mouse?

I can't think of that ever working out for me. In pve or pvp.

I think it'd be absolute heaven. I may have to seriously give that mouse some consideration.

for anything but cooldowns it seems like a lot of work for one thumb.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Yeah i really enjoy Frost now with all the procs for Ice Lances & Firebolts/Firefrost Bolts. Even for PVE is does really nice damage. More interesting than the boring Arcane Blast spam.

You're going to be sad when they lower the proc rate on FoF next patch by 33%

 

[Jazzy Network]

Any android users have the bnet authenticator of their phone? I have the regular one, but looking to use the android one instead for portability and not have to carry that one around. Just wondering if there is anything wrong with it or if it is hard to use.

 

[notworksafe]

It's simple. You start it and it shows a code. That's about it.

 

[Alex]

Looks like they retuned some (all?) of the 1-60 dungeons too in yesterdays beta patch, in addition to the tweaks and nerfs to rebalancing leveling. Everything in them hits a lot harder and has quite a lot more hp.

 

[Flib]

You would think that, but you get ultra-fast with it. It's really amazing. You actually don't need to move/bend your thumb that much.

Btw, the reason I have swipe and maul next to each other is from the days were I could just press them at the same time with my thumb:lol

I changed the position of swipe on the beta to have a clearer position with Thrash.

good. i can solo RFC and WC on a warrior on live.

 

[Flib]

Also, I don't know if you guys have actually used a Naga, but how it looks in pictures is deceiving, it's actually compact and small. The keypad looks way bigger in those photos than in real life. It's about the same size as any other regular gaming mouse, just a bit taller. It's comfy though, like all Razers.

Also when learning, it's a good idea to use Bartender/Dominos to set up the Action bar to have 4 rows/3 columns. That way, you can just glance at the bar and have a 1:1 exact representation of your pad on screen.

 

[Rapstah]

Darn it, they changed that amazing holy paladin talent that used to say "Casting a heal on any target, including yourself, also heals you for X." to "except yourself". :lol I don't blame them though, was burst healing 500+ at level 10.

 

[Alex]

Hooray, large Efflorescence and Holy Radiance nerfs, in addition to the other stuff, that should level the playing field pretty perfectly.

Cept for Disc, who is in a world of hurt at the moment. I won't be surprised if they nab a very short PW:B cooldown and some more +healing talents very shortly.

 

[Aesthet1c]

How long has the Naga been available for? Reading everyones opinion of it makes me want one badly. However I don't want to buy one if the Naga 2 is going to come out in a few months (or whatever they decide the successor).

 

[Alex]

Amazon says it came out Sept, '09.

 

[Garryk]

Check out the Naga Epic coming out at the end of the month.

Also, I recommend the n52 for your left hand if you don't want to use the keyobard.

Naga epic doesn't offer much but a higher price imo, unless you really need a optional cordless mouse.

Christ, $129 for a MOUSE? I'm not poor or anything ... but god damn that seems like a waste of money.

 

[Alex]

I think I'm fine with my MX518, I prefer buttons on the keyboard, though maybe I should use the extra buttons on my G15.

 

[Evlar]

I'm skeptical I could use something like the Naga effectively. I already have a five-button mouse that I use with no difficulty, but that's dependent on having a different tactile feel to the buttons under the thumb. A big cluster of buttons like that would be difficult to manage without looking at it, or at least that's my worry.

My keybinds are crazily complex and I have ten abilities bound to the four mouse buttons I use in click-casting. That's enough to keep up with.

 

[markot]

MX518 fo life!

Yeah, true. Still, I wouldn't bind everything to those buttons though. 1-6, Q, E, R, T, F, G, Z, X and C are still a lot of buttons.

Is it true that if you disable diagonals you can use all 8 directions effectively?

I want NW to act as forward + left strafe.

I thought the same at first but its really not hard to learn at all. It took me a week to learn and thats without these little tack like things they include that you can put on a key to help you remember what number that key is.

The mouse has one flaw and thats the two buttons on the top, but you can rebind them which I did.

 

[Garryk]

Not sure. I only have 4 directions bound; 2 for movement and 2 for targeting.

 

[Dina]

I use the H8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15 and 18 buttons a lot. Got them binded to useless keys like ; ' [ ] , . / and it works great.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Could you test out a diff profile sometime? It says to do forward, back, strafe left, strafe right on NSEW and have diagonals disabled. Then give a brief movement review and what the disabled diagonals act like.

 

[Alex]

Does anyone know of an addon that shows NPC locations on the world map? Like if I wanted to see all the class trainers or mail boxes, or w/e on the map of a city. Stuff like that

 

[Osaka]

Up to this day I thought MX518 is the best mouse ever.


I was mistaken.

Razer Imperator, I salute you!

Amazing mouse, and only 50€.

Re: Will Cata honestly be playable at launch?

We would nerf the sun or create a Blizzard time zone in which everyone would live in (in perfect harmony), but unfortunately, we have not amassed enough power for that as of yet.
