Hey all,
Before I started playing SWTOR, I read through a few forums on keybinding and clicking, and decided I would experiment to find out what worked for me. As it is, I’m not a clicker, I’m a devoted keybinder. The thing is, I have a slightly odd keybinding arrangement, and I’m wondering if any of you think it will affect endgame for me (I’m currently level 30).
I’m open to trying something new, but if possible, I would prefer to keep my setup. But if I’m not going to keep my setup, then I’d appreciate opinions on how to re-keybind.
My setup:
Currently I’m moving with my arrow keys. I’m not strafing. In general, my right hand stays on the arrow keys (I use the 0 key to the right of the arrow keys for my speeder). My left hand rests with my thumb on the “c” key, my pinky on the tab key, and my middle fingers on 1, 2, and 3. Tab is what I use to target the nearest enemy. “c” pulls up the map, which I use frequently. 1, 2, and 3 are various attacks. (I’m a trooper, if that helps). Actually, my attack keys are currently: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, `, q, w, e, r, a, s, d, f, x, and v.
Questions:
1. Should I be strafing? I’m not really used to it, and if I strafe, then how do I turn? I think my setup makes it difficult to strafe, but I’m not sure.
2. Should I be using the control key to give me more options?
3. I’ve never really ever used wasd to move, but I might try it if someone could help me figure out how to set things up.
4. General advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
