Here's a run down incase anyone needs some ideas for keybinds. I have them grouped in a way that works well for me... (CC and Interrupt close to eachother, main attacks close to eachother etc)
Keep in mind that Keybinds are something that should work and be designed for YOU. I am CONSTANTLY changing mine to try something that may feel more natural to me. I know some priests have Fear bound to 9, whatever works for them works for them. I can assure you I do have a few funky binds myself. In order to save huge stretches I have bound many abilities to my mouse. Now the furthest my hand has to reach on a daily basis is H (J on a VERY rare occasion). Many people also do change their strafe etc and bind things to ASD. I however have S completely unbound for cool factor. When I backpeddle I press firmly with my forehead on my Down Arrow key.
