I have a character of every class... 2 of which are 80's but i've fallen for my rogue... i've stopped playing the others all together... One thing that is awesome for me is a gaming mouse with lots of buttons... i have it set up so with my thumb i can "attack" and "run", also pressing my middle button does your deadly throw/throw macro, this leaves my left button click free to look around and also "focus" for blinds... plus whilst running i can now just hold right mouse and do figure of eights constantly (awesome for annoying casters with LOS spells). I really liked your gouge/bandage macro - never thought of that one lol always just did it separate... One thing i've found is lots of people only use 4 keys for binding... i use 10... basically binding the first 5 of the bottom left action bar to 1-5, then the top left action bars first five q-t... this means i have virtually every pvp ability at a button push... 1 = kick 2 = mutilate 3 = Gouge 4 = Eviscerate 5 = Slice & Dice q = Stealth macro w = blind e = cold blood r = Rupture t = vanish I also have sprint on 7, and 2 macros for evading... one is CLOS/evasion, one is CLOS/Vanish... this works for me but i can touch type so moving fingers without looking is kinda second nature... but my friend does this now... (he used to be running around and have to stop to look for a key to vanish and stuff lol)... Sento Your page is cool… I have a character of every class… 2 of which are 80′s but i’ve fallen for my rogue… i’ve stopped playing the others all together…

1 = kick
2 = mutilate
3 = Gouge
4 = Eviscerate
5 = Slice & Dice
q = Stealth macro
w = blind
e = cold blood
r = Rupture
t = vanish

I also have sprint on 7, and 2 macros for evading… one is CLOS/evasion, one is CLOS/Vanish…

I've been considering writing some sort of arena introduction myself, so I'll be interested to hear what issues you ran into while getting started. I'll add that in addition to unbinding your turn keys, you should use your backpedal key very sparingly. I would almost recommend unbinding it, but there are some situations where it can be useful; 5-8 kiting for example. @tedoubledy - there's actually a separate key binding option in the menu for "target next enemy player" which specifically avoids things like pets and totems. That way it will also work correctly in larger bracket arena and battlegrounds. <abbr><em>Chronic’s last blog post..<a href="http://blog.chron.ws/archives/210" rel="nofollow">Holy Season Six, Batman!</a></abbr></em> Nice post.

It's painfully pleasurable when facing DKs and Warriors.

Some of my favorite things are a CLOS->vanish macro. I have two other buttons for CLOS and Vanish, but sometimes its easier to cast CLOS and then Vanish wehn i have some debuffs on me. All it is is a castsequence macro pretty standard. I also changed my Tab key so that it switches back and forth between the enemy in 2v2 by putting a macro for target, and target last target so that i never accidentally target a pet or a ghoul or a clone.
