it's a very inefficient way to play imho
plus looking at the screen shot he also seems to be a clicker, which is even worse
Hahaha. Good old WoW condescension. Something I don't miss from regular play.

Yeah... *chuckles* I shouldn't even be playing if I went off stuff like that. Being a clicker with no UI mods and all.

*laughing* Guilty. Some games I use my mouse but for Warcraft, I prefer keyboard turning.

I don't know how you can live. A and D for strafe, Arrow Keys in the rare case I need the keyboard turning functionality, otherwise mouse all the way.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I just don't ever use A and D in combat at least.
I used to click when I did Naxx, but I use a Naga now.

Not for me. I don't feel like setting up key bindings or whatever they're called. It's probably more efficient to use key bindings, but clicking is good enough for me.

I rock this and also use a ton of keyboard shortcuts.

Yah, I picked one up a month or two ago, need to really learn to use it better lol.

Thing is... if I was in a serious raiding guild and I took the game more seriously in general... then I would look for more efficient ways to play. As it stands now, all my filthy habits allow me to quest solo with ease and I contribute positively to my guild's runs when I go.
So I live pretty well in my own little world. Just different keystrokes for different folks.
My blood elf paladin can't ride my tauren paladin's kodo, so no unless there's a bug for humans.

I would love to know this. Even if anyone has the Logitech G600. Been mulling over that mouse for weeks now.
Yeah, it's my favorite mouse even while not gaming. using it now
Gotta bind them to strafe at least!
I love it too and I'm on my second one, but a word of warning that I'm not happy about being on my second one. About 1.5-2 years after getting my first one, it developed this annoying issue where single clicks turned into double clicks due to a defect with how their buttons age over time. It seems to be a relatively common issue based on google searches I did at the time.
With that said, I did get the second one because I can't function without it

I was apprehensive as well, but it's been a few weeks and I love it.
Seems silly that it took MMO inspiration for this kind of mouse to be created. It's the best web browsing mouse I've ever used!
Also, it feels amazing. There are 3 different side panels you can switch out, so no matter the size of your hands or style of your grip there is a perfect fit for you.

I have a combination of devices I use and I wouldn't trade this setup for anything else in the world (of warcraft).
My mouse is the WoW Cataclysm Mouse. I love it. Key binds work in-game and it is much more comfortable than the Naga for me. Maybe I just have big hands or something but the Naga cramps my hand/wrist/fingers after a very short amount of play. The interface is nice too. It stores all of your character profiles within the mouse, so you can plug and play. You actually "sign in" through the software and it loads all of your characters and their individual keybinds. The keys are placed well and it is great for surfing and other games as well.
Next up is my G13, a device I have come to depend on over the years. I keep 3 profiles on here which are also stored on board. The backlighting for the keyboard and G13 change color depending on which profile is active. They are switched with the press of a button. Tank is Blue, DPS is Red, and Healer is Green. I tend to bind movement and "general" commands to the gameboard (movement, open all bags, target selection, ect) and bind actions/macros to the mouse buttons. The screen usually has my Ventrilo info on it but here is a pic of my PC resources instead.
Next up is my G19 keyboard which has target marking bound to the G keys. This screen is color and cycles between stats depending on what I am doing. It switches automatically, which is nice. I don't miss /tells anymore! This also cycles colors depending on the role my character is doing (same colors as above).
And here they all are together with my triple monitor set up:
PS: I still click my buttons too. Everything works together in a "free flow" way. It's pretty cool actually.

That is an awesome setup.
I like to keep the rotation simple. If I have to watch a debuff tick down, then it's dividing my attention when I should be watching health bars and making sure there are no adds chewing on my healer. I prefer to just use FFF (actually FS) every 12 seconds and Thrash every 12 seconds. It's more important to keep applying Lacerate and Mangle as frequently as possible.

Can someone please clarify the scroll of resurrection for me? Have they moved up the date for which accounts qualify yet? My friend had a few days of gametime left on his account after March 4th, 2012 and was not applicable to receive the scroll and level boost last time I tried in June. Coming up on the release of the expansion, it'd be nice for him to receive a jump in level so we both have level 80 characters.

The best thing about Wide Mounts is that you increase the chance to get them.
Five characters, five times the chance.
More like "five times the frustration" lol!
I mentioned earlier about not being sure if I could reasonably spend my vast quantities of accumulated Valor; people suggested buying gems to sell, but the AH seemed swamped so I suspected it would turn a more reliable profit if I just waited for the gold conversion rather than getting myself stuck with a bunch of epic gems people don't need any more.
So I've waited it out, and I'm now 12.5k gold better off. That'll do for me! There's a new goldsink mount on the way, isn't there? What price is that, again?

I'm reminded of how Resilience worked on PvE dots and magical damage back in the day; I had a PvP shield for Hydross which worked *wonders*.
Yeah I'm not sure how he got those numbers, asked him (it's Binkenstein, if you're familiar with him).
I view it like this:
If Lightning Bolt does 10 damage, when we score a crit we'd do 25 damage. If we were to have the banner, which increases that by an additional 20%, it should do 30 damage.
Oh geez. No worries about reliability, then.
Yeah, that's what I'd expect, but it doesn't jive with the 29 Bink's numbers suggest.

I had been planning on getting a mechanical keyboard like the Max Keyboard Nighthawk X8, but now I'm starting to think the G19 is what I should be looking at. I want something fully backlit and it's a bonus that it's customizable. I'd be willing to give up it being mechanical for the awesome screen feature.
I'm also looking at the G510 which has a cheaper LCD screen. Any advice, Eskimo? Is the screen (and the WoW software) worth it?
Also, the G19 is from 2009. Hear of any plans for a new model anytime soon that I should hold out for?
Wow, that setup's pretty crazy. But it looks like it'd be cool to play with.
And that mouse seems pretty awesome to hold all that information for ya.
Anywho, I finally got my ICC 25-Man Meta Achievements done last night, so I now have a frosty new drake to use.
Funny enough, Lich King ended up bugging out on us. After the first transition, Relentless Winter kept going after the platform had collapsed, and then we had to deal with all sorts of Ice Spheres, Defile, and Val'kyr all at the same time.
Surprisingly, we managed to get him down before the entire raid wiped and everyone got their achievements at the end.
Last I heard, the Reins of the Grand Expedition Yak costs 120k.

I do not feel they are a requirement at all, not even close. Any type of lcd is a luxuary, nothing more. I like the G19 but I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it. I would value it around 90-100$ (I bought it for 65$). I think the G510 is equal to the G19 TBH. The additional functionality of the color lcd is moot. Who is honestly going to watch youtube that tiny screen while sitting in front of a computer? I have 2 iPads and an iPhone next to my PC at any given time to do that stuff. I bought the G19 on sale for a breat price. If it hadn't been for that, I would've gotten a G510 without question. Honestly, the G13 and a gaming mouse are all you need. I barely use the G keys on my keyboard at all because the mouse/G13 combo is like, hundreds of key binds right there. So I would suggest getting a G13 before you get a new keyboard. Once you have one of those, you'll only use the keyboard to type. You can get a G13 pretty cheap if you watch for sales.
But yes, I enjoy having the additional abilities the lcd screens on my G19 and G13 give me. I free up space on my UI (PvP stuff mostly) and can look at stats and such without hitting a key which frees up my mouse/G13 for more important tasks related to gameplay. Once you have them they are great accents to your gaming setup, especially WoW, but it's all quality of life improvements.
All the logitech stuff supports WoW (and a slew of other games) by default. Just plug and play.

In some thread somewhere on here that I cannot seem to locate, I posted pics of the full set up. Here are pics I posted then with my old keyboard. You can see that I am flanked by ipads, which I use all the damn time while playing WoW. One is usually playing a movie and the other I surf/read/play games on while waiting for ques or whatever. A lot has changed since then, I should do new pics! We're actually selling our house and actively looking for a new one now. I'll miss this setup but I have a feeling my new one will be even better.

Honestly, it takes some getting used to. The monitors alone take 5-10 minutes to adjust to, let alone the "tank-like" controls. It's an awful lot to take in at once. My wife can't do it. It can cause a bit of sensory overload.
I use this setup for all my PC gaming and it's great. It's hard to go back to anything less once you are fully used to it!

Interesting. I still may end up getting a mechanical keyboard; some G19/G510 reviews say the keys are a bit small and feel a little mushy.
I don't really understand the appeal of the G13 (or the Razer Nostromo)...is it basically just a place to have extra key bindings?
Also, what are those wallpapers on your monitors? Looks awesome whatever it is

The hot sause is a small portion of my collection. I was dusting them off in batches while I was playing games
We were doing spring cleaning when I took those pics.
