“Newb moments,” to me, are something longer-lasting than a simple blonde moment or brain fart. I mumble something about bugs as I furtively move hand of sacrifice off of the F4 key.Īpparently I’m not the only one who was reminded of newbiness, as today’s WI breakfast topic is a wonderful collection of amusing raid-based failure. “OMG! This spell is making my game crash!!!” I log back in, righteously pissed off at Blizzard by this point, and finally one of my teammates jokes, “Geez, what are you doing? Pressing alt+f4 over and over? Lawl!” Again, I attempt to hand of sacrifice the tank. I log back in to see that everyone has wiped. Now, at this past point in time, I have my hands (eg of protection, salvation, etc) lined up on my F keys to keep track of them really easily (you may see where this is going), but when I try to hand of sacrifice the tank, my game crashes! Well, I was raiding on my paladin and we were in Bastion of Twilight at that REALLY nasty trash pull with all the elements, right before the Captain Planet fight. I, personally, have alt set as my modifier for directing my spells to my tank. You can use these quite potently…or otherwise… You press different buttons and different things happen. That’s a simple use of modifiers in a macro. I soon realized that I ran out of keys to use, so I use modifiers quite often. Probably a development of all the PvPing I did during my formative levelling.
You see, I use keybindings a lot for my healing, especially for instant cast spells. The following comment from a WI article started reminding me of some of my biggest newb moments.ĭaniel said: If quest healing, also remember not to modify your attacks to the alt key! Alt+tab when questing may end in disaster.
