    I guess I'm like Mhalak in not seeing quite what the advantage here is. Why would you want to use "Q E R T" on your paladin, "TAB X C B" on your WHM, and "Shift+Q Shift+E R T" on your Bard rather than using "7 8 9 0" for all of them (or "Q E R T" for all of them, or whatever)? Most players pick the keys they can most easily reach and use those across all classes. What's the benefit of switching to a different part of the keyboard just because you switched classes?

    Things tend to become real messy when playing through many classes and becomes unorganized. For example ill give a better idea... My paladin got many defensive cool downs and they are all located in one action bar (lets say its the 3rd action bar) and im using useful keybinds for them...and now i switch to a healer and i have less defensive cooldowns obviously so now i HAVE to put an attacking/healing spell on my defensive cooldown action bar just to use that specific keybind which is stuck in the 3rd action bar. So now i have healing spells spread everywhere and becomes messy.

    Still dont get it? ill put more examples! Lets say my 3rd action bar got these keybinds "Q E R T" and each one got a dmg reduction spell for my paladin right? Now i switch to healer and i have 1 defensive cool down (not 4 like my paladin) so i put that 1 spell on the 3rd action bar and its set on "Q" but now i have 3 more key binds which are "E R T" now i HAVE to put something there but i prefer to use those 3 binds on the second action bar which is my attacking action bar on my whm but i cant... so i have no choice but to mess my spells up and throw things around for it to work.

    Also Niwashi i understand what you mean but it depends what spells are worth "easily" reaching for when playing more than one class and it would be easier to keep the action bars organized for example:
    PLD: action bar 1=attacks
    action bar 2=attacks
    action bar 3=defensive cool downs

    WHM:Action bar 1=heals/ healing cool downs
    action bar 2=macros
    action bar 3=Defensive macros

    Now it doesnt make sense to use attacking key binds from my pld for macros on my whm right?

    Also ill be adding pictures in a few days for you guys to have better understanding.
