Hey guys! This is a guide on how to key bind all your abilites effectively in any MMO but for this example I am using Star Wars: The Old Republic. Keybinding things to keys on your keyboard instead of clicking them increases your ability to react to certain situations faster than manually moving your mouse to click on abilities. Some people don't mind clicking and are faster that way others like myself it is easier to keybind your abilites.

  • A truly good keybinding setup means that a player should not have to to take their hand of the mouse to ever hit a combat ability. The setup suggested does. The only numbers you should use for your main 'in-action' quick slots are keys 1 - 6 as you can only reach these if your hand is over the W-A-S-D keys. Then replace buttons 7 - = , with

    Q-E-R-T-F-C. Then setup the row below (bottom centre quickslots) the same way, but with +shift. This is how the Pros do it :)

  • @ingram182 Very good stuff there :D! Very detailed thank you for the input. I agree 100% :D Thank you.

  • Another thing key-bindings is superior. It's amazing once you make the switch from clicking. I would never dream of going back. It literally takes like 2 weeks on consistent use to get really good and then you will improve your actions per minute like crazy.

  • @DBNonchalant That's how it was for me too after I got used to keybinding I never thought about switching back with any game I played. Even new games I start playing I keybind all the main abilities.

  • Good video. Useful info for a new player.

  • @cookiesandporn I tried to make it good for just about every type of player new and old :D

see all

  • @belleaspen86 I was also new to 'hardcore' MMOs, I did runescape but eh... I set up my key-bindings a while back and I'll tell you it is a drastic improvement once you don't have to look down. You can focus on the fight more and move a lot faster around the map and around your opponent. Key-bind and you will dominate.

  • @DBNonchalant He said to use V, I might consider that and implement using Alt+Q-E-R-F-C-X, Alt+1-2-3-4-5-G.

  • I just started using key bindings and now I've pretty much mastered it. I use Q-E-R-F-C-X then SHIFT+Q-E-R-F-C-X for the top slot. 1-2-3-4-5-G and SHIFT+1-2-3-4-5-G for the bottom center. I haven't mapped right and left slots because most of those abilities aren't spammed so I just click those but they can be mapped.

  • @sebbecr Oh didn't even realize that lol sorry

  • @hubachecka Yea I tried that for a bit with wow and depending on how you play it works out pretty well forgot all about that honestly thank you :D
