Wow Ultimate Beginner’s Setup and Keybind Guide for 2023 NO ADDONS

hello everyone welcome to another video so as you know about today's title of the video I'm going to be doing just a super quick settings and keybinds guide for ultimate ultimate beginners of World of Warcraft okay it's it's I'm not going to go into two months depth around it I'm just purely going to give you some basic tips and advice that you can adjust as soon as you start the game so as you can see here I've started a brand new character um I didn't even bother changing the way it looks or anything I already have a like a level 60 image I'm not going to really bother actually doing anything with this character I purely mean just for the point of this video but this is going to be kind of uh there's no add-ons uh completely add-on list and I'm just gonna help the UI run that little bit nicer look a bit uh cleaner and give you some general rules because the default settings in WoW surprisingly are really bad um so yeah we're gonna get into the video anyway if the video helps please if you wouldn't mind dropping a like and uh subscribing if you enjoy the content so anyway first things first what we're going to talk about is like the two major don't do rules in World of Warcraft and these two rules are basically keyboard turning which is where I'm using a and d to move okay and clicking your abilities okay you don't want to be a clicker I know some people can still do high level content is click in but I feel that getting in doing what I do and getting into the Habit early of just using your actual keybinds is so much easier but that they're the two major rules so you're not going to do this and you're not going to click now the keyboard turning using IND to turn I'm gonna go through that in the settings to change that anyway so that's fine okay so we're gonna just you're gonna you've loaded up your game um and you're just gonna go to options okay and I'm literally just gonna go through everything all right controls first off you want to stick your targeting on this will prevent you from accidentally deselecting um uh enemies when in fights which is good um you can have this Auto Dismount in flight on or off it doesn't particularly matter I would pick Auto loot straight off so then you just don't get into the habit of having to loot everything individually and combine your bags into a single bag and that way when you click uh B though obviously I only have one bag so I just realized it won't show but it'll show us one big backpack rather than a lot of uh different ones okay which is what you were obviously you don't want because it just looks messy okay so anyway go back to your options so the only other thing I'll say change when you are down here is where you put camera following style change it to never adjust camera that way when you're moving if you want to move camera it'll not auto rotate back but let's say your camera's off and you're like oh crap I'm I'm all over the shop I don't know which way I'm going and just press down on your left and right buttons your left Mouse button and your right Mouse button and then this is kind of like a move move the camera and move your character at the same time okay you can also do it by W ESD while holding your right button down as well that's like your basic movement but we're going to get into that in a minute anyway so that's the first options I get rid of the interact with Target and because f is such a good key that we do not want to bound to anything until later so you're going to take that off um enable interactive you don't want it all right just just tap people when you go and eat them okay that's fine I know they do not to try and be a bit more user friendly but honestly I think just the amount of buttons you need to be able to press that's fine in games or you only have five or three abilities at a time when you have all of these that you want to make sure you've got as many keybinds available all right so anyway so that's that's your controls you're gonna go to interface [Music] now if you want your name on you can I personally don't have it off you can have hostile and Quest NPCs names on which is fine I don't really touch anything here name plates you can choose larger nameplates if you want to you know if you want to see them a bit larger um I'll give you an example it's not changing it ah another thing sorry click V enemy nameplate turned on combat okay you want them on at all time okay so they're they're slightly bigger name plates if you want them um or you can have the uh the standard one there okay there is add-ons and that you can use when you feel comfortable using add-ons um that have better looking nameplates all right but it's up to you it's personal preference I personally just leave them as they are okay friendly nameplates I don't particularly have on it doesn't particularly mind matter um because if you're going to be DPS in then yeah then you just want to choose overlapping nameplates rather than stuck in because otherwise it's just going to take up your full screen okay uh display there's nothing really to a chair obviously if you want tutorials on or off I have them on and off um outline mode it's fine yeah reared frames uh display incoming heals yes display Power Bars display aggro highlights display class colors again just makes it look a bit nicer um do not display pets because then you're just going to see everyone's there split me and tank and assist show debuff and then when it says display Health text and just put it as health percentage so you can see what everyone's health is okay that but again that's reading that's something very far in the future so I'm not going to talk about it but now you've done until your settings are ready to be used as they are when you do eventually get into a raid okay all right action bars and obviously you start off with one action bar that is on at all times you can have up to eight action bars as part of the default game alright these can be moved around and adjusted as much as you want I genuinely never use more than four I don't think um specifically on my Demon Hunter my Paladin I don't particularly use I've I've never ever used six seven and eight I can guarantee you that but what you can do is and I'll again I'll show you a way to make it look a little bit cleaner soon and I would just activate two three and four and make sure you have um these three are going to be like abilities that you're gonna be like you know abilities that you're gonna be fighting with your spells and along this one I put like hearthstones portions and and so on and so forth and that I can just click on the side stuff that I'm not going to need well portion sorry I'll put on a key um but hearthstones and stuff that's not combat related like mounts stuff like that I'll just put up here so I can I can just go over and click them as in when I need them but don't worry these are not just going to sit there empty the whole time we are going to have it so they're hidden unless there's a spell there okay I'm gonna show you how to do that in a minute all right um You can do lock action bars so for example if you you can't accidentally click it and drag it off and if you hold shift though and you want to move that somewhere else you can okay the hold shift move your spell around do what you want um if you don't hold shift try and drag it away it won't work all right so that's it and then last thing here click short number on cooldowns that way you can see how many seconds left there's gonna be on a cooldown right there it says three minutes um if I didn't have that on you just get that little reared out bed I like to know the specific timings all right combat personal resource display I have it on this basically means when you lose Health regardless of where this is your little um a little name plate will appear I'll see if I can do it if I can lose some health um there that will appear there so you can see now um until I leave combat that's going to appear here so regardless of where this is you're always going to be able to have that in the middle of your screen okay that's that's not all right and so that's there you can move it if you want um you can have hide or not you can have it show special resources show personal cooldown actual friendly books I just I just have this ticked and then that's it we're itself highlighted Circle which is fine um target of Target you don't have to worry too much about that muscle control alerts is fine everything down here self-cast key leave it um you can put it to the control here um oh more for healing and stuff like that if you wanted to uh Focus cast key again just leave that and I just find controls a bit better than old even later they hit um my keys um empowered spelling purged yeah again leave these pretty much as they are all right social um these are all just personal preference to be honest you're on chat style IMs I am style not um not a plastic style um I like the IM style personally um new Whispers uh open up a new tab that's fine so then if someone messages you it goes to a different hair so you it would appear like um wallet whisper just so you can see it would appear like this obviously but it would be the name of the person who's whispered to you all right um so that that's there so you know you don't get it locked up um and then enable Twitter if you really want to enable to all right key bindings now this is where it gets sort of interesting [Music] there are a lot of keybinds in this game all right hello hello all right um but a lot of them as default are used for sort of things we don't really need okay um like I like some of this stuff here I've never used I don't even have numpad on my keyboard I only have a 60 keyboard so I can't even do that one if I really wanted to minimap I literally just come up and scroll it I don't need to do this toggle music in stuff you were just changing the sounds you don't need all this stuff all right um next few people you know stuff like this that again numpads I can't even use numpads but I don't even you get a vehicle exit button I just click it like that's it to just get out of it all right show enemy inputs now V is a one we're going to be using for our skills so what I do is for short enemy nameplate I just click alt V alright sometimes I I just have them one at all time anyway but for some times sometimes I've noticed in the newer dungeons in dragonflight you'll change you'll go through the instance and the nameplate will just turn off obviously if you've got V bounce or something else it's always just nice to have alt V there just so you can make sure they're definitely turned on all right so that's that assist Target unbind that you don't mind it pet attack yeah if you're using pets fine keep that I don't touch anything sort of pet related okay you can do your pet as you want all right um so tab targeting is obviously the way of the game you can also use tab as a keybind if you want personally um I am very much in the habit of tab targeting now because I tried so hard to make sure I did get another habit of it when I was coming from a game that didn't do type targeting I personally do leave it to Target my enemies um but if if you want to and you want to just click them as and when you're moving around that is what the pros tend to do okay so that's probably the best way to do it um or it's what I've seen people on YouTube I'm saying the pros the people who've got a lot of experience in this game and but for me personally I keep it top talking so if you want to copy me exactly then it's time okay so let's get up to the um movement keys for a start so you can see here q and E are straight left and straight up right that's much better than keyboard turning right foot q a is such good keys to use right so you're gonna play options you're gonna get rid of turn left and turn right you can leave your arrows on there if you really want to if you want to use your arrows with your right hand for whatever reason I'm gonna make a dramatic effect or something and then put straf left and straight right to a and d w s is still move forward and move backwards that way when you're doing yes you're moving with wasd you're not keyboard turning if you want to turn just right click your mouse while you're moving and just get used to it like that and then you've got your mouse there to you know do whatever all right and you can hold left we'll adjust your camera if you hold them both it will send you back in the direction you're fiercing with the camera and if you just keep it down if you hold R hold your right click Mouse button and then move with wasmt all right I tend to find myself I just do left and right click a lot of the time just then my left hand's free I can be eaten all right or whatever I'm doing um and I just move like this and then if you want to you know you just your camera if you want to make a video where you're running away from something you can do it that like that all right nice and uh nice and easy all right anyway so that's that fine again x and z really good buttons to be using on keybinds because basically what you want to do is make sure your keybinds are as close to you as possible six seven eight nine zero that and that icon hit with my left hand without really moving away from where wasd is so I get rid of these and I put other things in so again x and z now these are pretty much I could not really care less if I have the ability to sit down or not but some people you know for the role player aspect if you really want to um you can just do it alt X alt the um action toggle user interface is now Unbound so keep an eye for stuff like this if you unbind something that you think oh actually I want that go back change it to whatever it needs to be all right you can if you find something I don't care about toggling the user interface on and off or not um but if you really wanted to toggle user interface and you wanted to make sure it's there just find them try control Z that's not Unbound anything so there you go so if you wanna unsheath your weapon and sit down it's all say an ALT X if you want to get rid of the UI just hit Ctrl Z and it disappears all right and then I'll do that and then that will do that so again the options there if you wanted but honestly it's not going to be the end of the world okay right so spacebar we keep that a jump that's absolutely fine toggle Lord all run is num lock and mouse button four that can get lost um I would also recommend if you want to change it from um I can't think of the uh oh change that from to start auto run rather than toggle auto run um but in thailift here it doesn't particularly matter game bugs and menus uh stuff like interface panel so again um C is also a really good one so what I do is I change C to F1 and that's now action Talk itself is now Unbound but again that's something you're probably never going to use and if I open all bugs you can leave that a bit I'm not going to be using b as a as a as a key bind um or if you wanted to or you could do F2 okay um oh another option if for some reason you don't have F buttons or whatever is key and that just gets rid of your professions book but if you really want to open up your professions Booth you just go into your spell boot which is play and then just tab over the professions it's not the end of the world that you can't directly open your professions book it's just on the other page of your spell book all right so there you go so I've done that if your knees p is fine shifting gear is obviously your shift on one is it that's shifting one let me shift I actually I don't know toggle tunnel Talent pin we leave that at n achievements y statistic frame shift y l m all these ones they're fine G or we're not going to be needing them T in a sense is um like your chat oh yeah and I don't really ever you want to make chat channels I don't know that's entirely up to you again maybe just put it to alt t all right because tea is something it doesn't want to use a lot but it is a one I'm going to recommend here just fine that's over there shift p um toggle group finder is that is that the number one or is that I that's I isn't it yeah which I can't actually do right now because um I don't group finder is I yes and then shift I was that one we were looking at before which done something which I can't remember now but anyway and control I is Dungeons and Rears PVP frames again I can't do it you can't do it right now because you haven't unlocked it yet because you've still got the start and you want to go through but anyway um anyway on to the action bar so for me personally one two three four and five are absolutely fine I leave them there I get rid of six seven eight nine zero and these last two here all right you can if you want to then just to do modifiers you can do shift one shift two chip three chip four and shift five you could put some other variation down here but that's not what I do I do use shift modifies though but what I like to do is I like to have my main rotational abilities the abilities I'm going to use a lot of the time are going to go on this ability on this one raw right here one two three four um one two three and four five is a little bit of a stretch just because of the size of my keyboard but my one two three four and then I'm gonna have q a r f all right oh yeah Q R which now Action Shot apply which we're not too by the world f yeah really nice and simple you can then come down to C and go around and you can then do X and you can do Z okay that has went all the way around and now every single key I need to use is around my keybind w the S and D so I don't have to move my hands far okay now to make it simpler and again just to go into the ease of it go down to action bar one and two and you're going to do the exact same but you're just going to hold shift all right some people are going to tell you not to do this some people are going to tell you to do it I'm telling you to do it just because it's just for pure ease okay all right and then action bar three is for you could have movement abilities here healing abilities here now these are abilities that I tend to put for like I've just said movement and healing and I try to use my mouse for this bar okay so I go about so I have a normal gaming mouse where it just has two buttons on the left hand side some MMO people have like a button with um oh excuse me um I have a one where you've got like 20 buttons on the side if you wanted to just bash all these on here you could but for me I don't have that option so I've got Mouse button for shift most modern four Mouse button five shift Mouse button five um wheel click to Middle Mouse shift middle Mouse okay you've then got Mouse wheel up Mouse wheel down shift Mouse wheeled up shift mouse mouse mouse wheel down all right and then you have them 10 abilities them 10 skim skill binds there and then you could do like then you've got like tea and G for example or you could just do shift T so again abilities that I'm not going to be pressing loads but I can still they're not too hard to reach so I'll have t and shift T down here and then you've got again you could do G shift G put it as your mount in your Hearthstone stuff like that these ones I'm not going to use all of these for um keys because like I said some of these are going to be ones we just go on and click all right but you've got Gene shift G over there as well you could have the little number neck the little icon that's next to the one I'm not sure what that is again shift and click it again there you go there's a couple more keybinds over there for you and just little things like that all right v as well shift V now there okay um so again these are some people would put V further up this list but again I'm just out of sort of personal use and with v let's see I can hit with my with my finger with v I have to come up from the spare spot and click it with my thumb so the way I sit with my mouse on my keyboard my hand on my keyboard sorry did I do that and then like I say though you can you can literally just have this like that um and then you could just have a few down there that just clickable options if you wanted to all right um so there's your keybinds thank God we got through that interface action bars extra action bars charts again you just click enter don't have to worry about that what you noticed is though we put um movement we put movement on um like I'll zoom in and zoom out um so again I just go back here to zoom in control mouse wheel up and then control mouse wheel down action aimed agreement is now Unbound I don't use action aiming so it's fine so now if I do want to change my camera not that you do a lot but it's with control now when you scroll wheel up it's going to be one of these and when you scroll wheel down it's going to be one of these and then shift one shift two shift two four five you can see and we'll clicking them here RFC XC pretty easy one two three four five q e r f c x and z all right again because I was saying five for example five is a bit more of a stretch so I'll use that as like an interrupt or a stun rather than being part of my major rotation if I have a few Stones they tend to go on this little row here all right obviously right now you're probably thinking well why the hell do I need all these because like I said there's absolutely no chance in hell I'm Gonna Fill all these out anytime soon you'll be very surprised how quick you do fill them out um so don't worry about that anyway we're gonna go back into our options we've changed our cameras our car everything's fine all right General sure move pod no cinematic subtitles again up to you alternate full screen effects it's a tiny view motion sickness I just keep camera centered um camera Shake I have on you can have it as you know full reduced non-itan I I have a non-normally um cursor size just leave it at default you can make it as big as you really want but that's just annoying let's be honest um the default is the 32 by 32 when I lose a powered spelling punt hold and release it that's fine um and then interact key icons just shown on all right everyone's now if you do this I just the tool tip that appears down the bottom all right without having to without needing to Mouse over it but again it's not really bad color blind mode I'm not colorblind so I don't touch this if if you are color blind you know they've got all these different filters for you um I mean locate that looked quite nice um and you can obviously change the strength of them as well um again entirely entirely up to you again I'm not colorblind so I don't I don't touch these okay um text-to-speech don't touch it Graphics again these are all kind of personal preference I personally disabled vsync anti-alia scene you can have it as Advanced or you could have it as no and it doesn't really matter um camera f4v I just have it all the way up so I can see everything use UI scale you can click that and then you can start adjusting the UI scale if you want to make it a bit smaller oh apply but in fact that's as small as you can go when you use custom and when you put it up to there it's bloody massive all right but you don't really want so either put it as low as possible or just get rid of it and it'll it'll be even smaller and then there you go all right Graphics quality that's entirely up yourself I imagine when you start up the game it would have gave you a generic um idea of what you want um so you can either go up to 10 if you really really want to I am quite lucky in a sense that I have a disappear so I probably can run it on 10 and it still looks fairly smooth [Music] um it doesn't you know it's not Jagged it's not you know struggling but you never know wait until you get a very heavily populated area and it might be completely different so yeah it's entirely up to you um Reardon Battleground again you can change it so that when you go into a red and a Battleground when there's a lot of people and a lot of spells going off you can have it so that you can so that the settings get lower when you're in a kind of heavily populated area all right go into your audio obviously if you have if you're like me and you have a XLR or something like along those lines obviously just make sure that the output is set to where it needs to be for me it's just my system um which is fine audio channels just leave it at 64 but it's fine master volume personal preference is just as much as you want again I can adjust it on my go XLR so I don't I don't need to touch anything in here thankfully I personally turned the music off um again personal preference I like to have my own music playing like through Spotify while I'm playing wow so I don't particularly um but I'm particularly uh I feel like this music really helps um it does only start when you load up the game on then it's up to you when you have Loop music I leave sound effects on anything I take off is error speech because when you're spamming buttons trying to get your spells off and they start screaming I can't do that yet and it's just really annoying so take that off straight away and voice chat again entirely up to yourself if you've got a good XR like me and you need to adjust things where it all goes that's absolutely fine um so again for me I I I I just these things you might personally know you might just have a headset plugged into your computer and that might be it and jobs are good we might have speakers whatever however you do it is entirely up to you voice to chats push to talk um but again I don't really tend to use the voice chat here if I'm going to be playing with people I usually run through Discord so voice chatting itself I don't mind do you guys mind fighting while I'm in the middle of talking thank you can you just go away please language obviously is your language I read and speak in English so there you go and again Network optimize Network for Speed is fine I just leave these other two um completely unlocked and there you go so there's the settings the next thing we're going to talk about is the edit mode all right so when you load in you're gonna have it's gonna look like this and it might actually be like this actually instead um with literally nothing pressed um but what you'll find is um you can check things where things are going to go again pepper I don't need um Pasta Bar goes right in the center and so first thing I do though when when all this appears regardless of where it's all going um and you don't need to copy me exactly word for word on this I'm going to show you and show you my thought process behind it but at the same time um I'm also going to in the description below there's going to be an import string so where you just copy and paste that you click new so you click import and just paste it into here call it whatever you want and it'll give you the exact Loadout that I'm about to make anywhere and essentially it's going to end up looking like this um you're like whoa how did that happen and we bring the health bars in a little bit we bring our party for when we're in our mythics and our dungeons over here so it's not right up here um talking head and all that stuff Caspar the talking head and stuff's not going to be on so get rid of these ones um cast bar sits there quite nicely that's our pep bar again we're not gonna need that right now so the cast power sits there quite nicely that's how it stands bath again he stances up or Buffs um sorry the Buffs actual Buffs are up here and then your debuffs are there your Maps there um you basically bring these in a little bit and then um I just lower these slightly all right now what oh also was going to show you so this is my DPS and tank if you're running a Healer that's probably better overlayers to to use for healing so um I tend to advise you look at someone who specifically heals I don't heal so I'm not the worst I'm the worst person to ask all right so you see now these abilities uh bars disappear so you could have always draw buttons on or off so that way they warned sure if there's no spells there all right same with this one over show button so there's nothing there um oh save an exit yep but as soon as I go to put something there so they all appear again so I can then put it up there but then it's gonna appear there all right shift one that is there and then down back down then they're gonna disappear you can't do that with the Bottom bar the Bottom bar always has to be there but trust me you will fill it out very quickly anywhere when you are moving along in your game all right so action bar one obviously I have the hide the bar art and hide the bar scrolling again I think it looks a bit nicer again in totally if you want to leave them on or not uh with the party ones now you can have it where it looks like that but you have like four four or five people in your party I personally use the use red style ones so because when you do it like this you don't see yourself okay you just have your four party members I just use reared frames and you can see it has the percentage underneath where it says party frames there as well um it looks a bit nicer and again you know you want to make it bigger and and and you know a bit bigger if you really want to um it's entirely up to you all right you make it really dull and again that's probably more for healing I'm not gonna lie here um but I think about halfway is about fine there um or just have it as small as you want and it's there again if you're doing DPS in your tank and you don't need to worry about this too much um just obviously for a tank your own health more than anything this is again more of a Healer I just like bringing it in a bit closer so I'm not up there needing to look right is everyone alive it's just nice it's in my peripheral I can see it it's fine all right actually I might just make it feel Flex um there you go so there you go that's fine looks nice and again we changed it in our settings earlier if you remember um so that it shows you the color of the person so because we're a mage it was it's using us as the example and it's all blue but if you have a Demon Hunter in there there's going to be a purple one and you know it just looks nicer if you don't use um there if you don't use the color one it just makes everyone green obviously to represent Health but I just think it looks a bit nicer having other people's uh class colors there instead so we go with that okay so again um you can take a quick look and see why what I've done with it here or if you want um just like I said copy and paste it uh click import call it what you want and then there you go that is that done so thank you very much for watching and I hope this video has helped you in some way shape or form um without going into too much um mod detail about everything um and I will catch you guys on the next one again hope it helped take care stay safe and I'll see you later bye
