New to keyboard - set up tips?

[Galactimus]

If you have buttons on the side of your mouse IE:

[1] [2] [3]
[4] [5] [6]
[7] [8] [9]

Then I recommend the following with my highest recommendation multiplied by bacon:


[1]: F11 - Targets mobs from right to left
[2]: TAB - Targets mobs from left to right

Pressing Tab on the keyboard, hitting it one too many times, and having to cycle through the entire enemy list over and over is simply annoying and unnecessary. Make your Tanking life incredibly easy by having F11 and TAB macro'd to the side of your mouse. It gives you instantaneous target acquisition and let's you back track on the enemy list just as easily. It feels so good, you'll wonder why the opposite sex was even created. (Disclaimer: Clive Hawkins does not endorse the uncreation of the opposite sex.)


[3]: Shield Lob / Tomahawk.

Having your long-range aggro attack on a button your thumb is always on prevents a ton of clumsy aggro moments as you try to fiddle with a macro bar icon in a pinch. Seriously. These are complete game changers when you have these three options placed right underneath your unused thumb.
