Keyboard and the Elementalist
Hmmmm you guy’s are funny! I liked the default for the elementalists, got a couple of days to get used to dance the 4 attunements, but nowadays is just fine and natural ^^
But since you guys changed the binding, doesn’t that get in the way when playing with other classes?
My attunments are ZXCV. I hit them with my thumb.

Nah, apart from maybe engineer ele is class that needs most keys, if you go to another profession you have everything you need bound somewhere already.
Problem most people have with default is that it makes it rather awkward sometimes to play, perfectly doable but it´s often just more natural once you´ve bound it to your liking.

If you have a naga/hex/mmomouse
- Change 1-5 on the mouse to F1-F5 and in-game keybind weapon skills to F1-F5
- Rebind attunements to 1-2-3-4
- Utility ERT
- Heal Q
- Elite G
- Interact F
- Weaponswap `
-Dodge shift
With this you have these advantages:
- no wasd problems with kiting + using weapon abilities at the same time
- no shift-modifiers, which means you can spam away accurately
- 1-4 on keyboard is attunements, nice easy and quick
- Having both hands activate different sets of abilities:
a) mouse for weaponskills only
b) keyboard for utilities and attunements
… makes getting solid muscle memory easy
It basically means you can combo weaponskills and utilities/attunements with both your hands rather than focusing all your effort into one hand.
