but the fastest way to learn would of been 1 week css or something in that span and you would of learned it by then

The only toon whose main buttons *aren’t* set up like this is my warrior – I put her stuff at the left end of the main bar, with the more “sometimes” buttons on the right end. I did this because I was trying not to be a keyboard turner with her; I’m not sure it’s worked (since she still mostly solos, only being 50).

So yeah, all my hunter’s in-combat movement is wasd/qe, including my kiting. (Except Drakk… I did at least just use the mouse for that.) I generally just strafe. My rogue is a keyboard turner; I tend to use a+e instead of actually just running through/turning when, say, kidney shotting followed by backstab – which does allow me to hit them while I’m circling them, and I’m generally waiting for my energy to regen enough for the backstab, anyway. Being a shadowstep rogue, I’m getting in a bad habit of waiting for that cooldown instead of actually, you know, running up to mobs.

I do have issues with my right wrist, as well; shortly after I started playing I had to turn on click-to-move, since I do use the mouse for overland travel, and it was causing me serious pain. (Click to move does cause me occasional issues while healing – my focus macros are all right click to heal focus, and sometimes I click between buttons, and… yeah, it looks like I’m trying to flee. >.>)

You can’t ease into it. All or nothing.

Take the movement keys you usually use (I use esdf – other people often use wasd – a friend of mine still uses the arrows over on the number pad and just twists her keyboard around.)

Use the wow keybinding system to remove left and right from these keys … replace it with the strafe movements (wr / qe / 79).

Now you can’t turn with the keyboard. When you hit those keys you will simply strafe.

Get familiar with which mouse buttons do what (for me holding the right side mouse button down moves my toon – the left swings the camera only.)

Now go play battlegrounds.
(Painful right?)

But after even an hour you will start to be able to move without the keys, because there is something unpleasant about dying a lot when you don’t want to that increases the speed you deal with the learning curve.

I only bothered to learn because a lot of arena PVP guides said it was necessary – for the week or so it took to stick I went from being a decent hunter to a complete huntard who couldn’t even run a straight line o_O also painful.

I still use my W and S keys for forwards and backwards. I moved the strafe keys to A and D. I made the Q key tab target and E target. That all works fairly well for me. I still have trouble trying to hit action keys (mainly 1-4) while moving forwards or backwards. Mapping devestate and taunt to my side mouse keys to hit with my thumb helped a lot too.
