While I don’t want to deter you from choosing the professions that you want, I will say that if you want to make a bucket load of gold with your professions choosing Enchanting or Jewelcrafting is highly recommended. While both are expensive to level it is more than worth it in the end.   

  Basics of enchanting profiteering

Disenchanting   

Disenchanting is an awesome way to make alot of gold and falls under 3 catgories:   

• Disenchanting own gear
• Purchasing items to disenchant
• Crafting items to disenchant

Disenchanting own gear   

This includes all unused gear that you pick up from quests, farming, running dungeons and raids.  Disenchanted materials can then be sold on the auction house.

Purchasing items to disenchant   

This is a simple method that involves purchasing items off the auction house for a value which is less then their disenchanting value (you will need auctioneer and enchantrix mods for this). Then all you do is disenchant those items and relist enchanting materials for profit. The best part is these materials canbe listed for free on the auction house.

Items that I normally look for include armor and weapons from level 73 for the highest profit margins.   

Crafting items to disenchant   

This method works in conjunction with any crafting profession and involves creating cheap crafted items then disenchanting those items for a profit. Most crafting professions have an item or two that you can craft and disenchant for a profit. This is where enchanting works great with jewelcrafting. For example a jewelcrafter can make inexpensive stone guard bands, disenchant them and make anywhere between 5-15 gold depending on the server economy. Jewelcrafters have a lot of items that can be crafted very cheaply in order to make a proft from disenchanting.   

Enchanting as a service   

To take full advantage of this profession as a service you will want to have as many of the enchanting formulas as possible. This will keep players coming back to you to get their gear enchants and more importantly keep you making gold. The best part is most of the rare enchants can now be purchased  for dream shards in Dalaran or acquired via reputations.   

Every time you are in a major city, link your enchanting service on the trade channel while you go about doing your daily routine. You will usually be able to pick up some extra gold by pretty much doing nothing.   

  Basics of jewelcrafting profiteering   

Crafting to disenchant   

Simplistic, effective and repetitive. Crafting items to disenchant links back to what was mentioned above for the enchanting profession. You find materials on the auction house for an item that is uncommon or rare within jewelcrafting, craft that item, have it disenchanted and have the value of the disenchanted materials be greater than the costs for inputs. With regards to jewelcrafting there are a few items where this model works really well. For example the stone guard band  mentioned above and the shadow might ring have great disenchanting levels for the price it costs to craft them, especially if the market for buying eternal earth and eternal shaodw in bulk is low on your server. Other lower level items such as the sun rock ring, crystal citrine neck and crystal chalcedony amulet are very inexpensive especially if you are also prospecting because you will have heaps of uncommon gems to use. Determing which of these items to craft will obviously be based on the material costs on your server.   

Prospecting

Prospecting is an awesome way to make gold. You buy saronite and cobalt ore and break it up into gems using prospecting. You then scan the auction house and look for the best items to cut. The profit margins are usually between 150%-300%. One thing to note and watch out for is to make sure your server can support the constant influx of gems you provide. If it can, just keep buying ore and breaking it up. I know servers are starting to get flooded and now I can’t sell the gems as fast as I buy the ore so I only buy ore once a week or so.

Buy uncut gems to cut   

Look on the auction house for cheap uncut gems. For example I normally check out cardinal rubies and if the price is right compared to cuts such as Bright, Delicate, Fractured or Runed cardinal rubies, I’ll purchase a few and normally make between 20-40 gold per cut once sold on the auction house.   

Jewel crafting as a service   

Similarly to enchanting, if you have a large number of jewelcrafting recipes than you can offer your services in a capital city to generate easy revenue.   

Trade skill proft maximization addon   

I recently came across an awesome addon called ProfMax which utilizes auction house scan data to determine price profit margins on your trade skill items, bringing them up in your tradeskill window.   

ProfMax calculates buy prices for materials and sell prices for crafted items to make calculations for potential profits.   

The best thing about it is it quickly determines which is the most profitable item for you to make, instead of you wasting time scanning the auction house.  Make sure you check it out!

I thought I would do a quick post to show other players what addons I use to improve my raiding/pvp efficiency and how I basically make my WoW gaming experience easier.

There are a number of addons out there (I get most of mine from Curse Gaming) that I just can’t play without. Below I’ve provided a list of the addons I use while playing my Rogue or Shaman.

Essential addons:

AG Unit Frames - I hate the standard Blizzard unit frames as they are very limited in what you can do with them. AG Unit Frames allow you to manipulate your unit frames however you wish with features such as positioning, resizing and colour coding specific classes and types. Its awesome and I love it because its so simple to configure. Check out the image below to see how they look and were I position my unit frames.

*Note - Last time I updated AG Unit Frames off Curse it had a lot of bugs in it. You can get a bug free version here.

OmniCC - Awesome addon! So simple, yet so effective. It adds text to items/spells/abilities that are on cooldown to indicate when they will be ready to use. I can’t raid or pvp without this one. Essential for those players that wish to master their rotation.

Doom Cooldown pulse - Very similar to what OmniCC does, but instead of adding text to items/spells/abilities that are on cooldown it ‘pulses’ the image of the item/spell/ability in the middle of the screen when it comes off cooldown. Very handy to have to ensure you don’t miss any cooldowns in the heat of battle.

Quartz - Another very helpful addon I use. Quartz enhances display of standard casting bars by allowing you to modify cast bar sizes, postioning, text size, colors etc.

Classtimer - Very simple and essential addon for any situation. It allows you to setup timer bars for your abilities on the screen. You can setup player, target and focus timers.

DeadlyBossMods - If you want to raid and do well, get this addon.

Omen  Threat Meter –  Great addon that allows you to manage your threat level. It has saved my life on many occasions as a Rogue.

Gladius - Awesome for arena. Adds enemy unit frames to arenas for easier targeting and focusing.

Rogue specific addons:

NugComboBar - Can’t play my Rogue without this one. Shows combo points for Rogues. Very light weight and highly configurable.

Combo Points Redux - Essential addon for Rogue pvp (if you’re mutilate). Tracks deadly poison stacks on a target. Similar in appearance to the NugComboBar addon.

Shaman specific addons:

Healbot - Makes healing so easy. I wouldn’t want to heal without this addon.

Decursive - Awesome addon that notifies my Shaman when someone needs to be cleansed/purged and allows me to do so with a click of a button.

Power Auras Classic - Such a useful addon. It provides visual cues when you gain/lose buffs, debuffs etc. I use it to provide me with visual cues when my Shaman’s water or earth shield goes down or when my weapon buff wears off.  Check out images below  for an example of my Power Auras. You can also check out this wow.com write up about the addon.

Totem Timers - Helps to manage totems, shields, weapon buffs. I primarily use it for monitoring totem cooldowns and range.

Power Auras addon triggered when weapon buff wears off

Power Auras addon triggered when water shield wears off

Non essential addons

Recount -  Serves as an analysis tool by tracking things such as damage and healing done. Not essential but I find it useful in tracking my dps and healing, and seeing how everyone else is doing within the raid.

General addons:

Gatherer - Tracks items you gather and records their locations on your map.

Auctioneer - Scans and tracks auction house data.

Postal - Enhanced mailbox support.

Bagnon – Merges your bags into one.

Gearscore – Lets you know how geared a player is.

Enchantrix – Helps enchanters see what items will disenchant into.

Durability Status – Icon that shows you the durability of your gear.

Poisoner3 – Allows you to apply poisons to your weapons using a small quick menu.

If you have any questions about the addons that I use or would like to discuss a few that you enjoy using please post a comment below. Thanks for reading.

Today we will explore the grand and new Season 8 Compositions, for 3v3 of course. The topic on compositions in arenas has always been a controversial one. Some players believe that best compositions are based on skill and others believe that they are solely based on what classes are over-powered during the particular arena season. What do you believe best compositions are based upon? What is your ideal composition? With that stated lets get to the core of this post.

According to Arena Junkies, as of April 13th, 2010, the top (active) arena team for 3v3 has the following composition; Burnjob {Paladin} [Protection (Main)/Retribution], Lichard {Priest} [Discipline (Main)/Holy], Gynx {Shaman} [Restoration (Main)/Elemental]. <Is This Real Life> is an arena team originated from the Server Earthen Ring on the Battlegroup of Vindication. In my opinion this has to be one of the best AND unusual compositions I have seen lately.

If you really think about this composition it might come across as a bit odd though, Tankadin + Double Healer composition. How does that work you might ask? Quite easily actually, Burnjob (7/57/7) has more survivability through the tanking talents + resilience than any other class would through just regular resilience. Aswell with Burnjob gearing in his Tier 10 PvE retribution gear along with some Retribution PvP and a PvP Tanking shield he becomes what players on Malfurion consider a Mack Truck.

Really, as a tankadin, the mitigation talents take care of a decent amount of what resi would (except this is flat damage reduction, which includes crits). It does this without nerfing your other stats. This is what makes tanks much more dangerous these days, because with 12% overall/18% spell reductions, as well as the crit avoidance you’ll get from being at -5.6% (the chance an enemy will crit you will be reduced by this amount), you’ve really got a good chance of outlasting your opponent, as well as being able to put out some hefty burst when needed.

 

Example:

That 10K arcane barrage crit is suddenly reduced by 1.8K, and that’s before any resistance kicks in. At 35% or less HP, that 10K crit is reduced by a further 3000. That 10k Arcane Barrage now hit you for 5200. That’s almost half. Of course, you’re not far off dead, but neither do they if it’s been a fair match (i.e. you both started at full). At that point, it’s best to finish off with Avenger’s Shield if it’s not on CD and you have the mana, or a HotR+ShoR combo. If that’s not enough to finish it, add in a judgement and hope for the best. If they’re at 50HP, add in Hand of Reckoning and lol at them as they just died to a taunt =P. If you’re really desperate to survive and have a few 1000 hp left, Divine Protection (pala shield wall if you prefer) and roll with what i said above.

“Cited from Synthaxx from mmo-champion”

If you notice in the first citied paragraph a tankadin can reduce the amount of damage they take by about 10-15% more so than any other classes. Also, with Burnjob using mostly retribution gear he can bring roughly 80% of the burst a retadin can bring.  With Burnjob being a protection paladin he will absorb most of the damage allowing the healers to take turns healing as the other can damage if health permits.

 Gynx <0/15/56> can bring the steady healing with chain heal and lesser heal as well as throw an earth shield on the opponents burst target of choice.  During down time he can use healing wave to top off any team member.  As well as being a great healer he brings the use of Totems for the extra Spell Power as well as a Mana-Tide totem (Which would benefit all three members). Restoration shaman do not only bring great heals, but they can supply crowd-control (Hex) to lower the amount of burst damage the group takes.  If all the teams health permits then Gynx can supply a great deal of burst damage with a Flame Shock + Lava Burst Combo followed by a Chain Lightning and a quick Lightning Bolt.

Lichard <60/11/0> brings anything and everything available.  As a Discipline Priest he decreases the amount of damage taken through the use of Power Word’s aswell as PvP. Lichard has the ability to use a minion to regenerate 5% of his mana each hit the shadowfiend deals. Also, if the opposing teams kills the shadowfiend through damage the priest gains 5% of his health through a glyph.  As well as having virtually an infinite amount of mana Lichard can deal an AoE fear effect to add to the enormously amount of crowd control  this team possesses.  While throwing out heals when needed, which is less often because of the talent abilities in the Discipline tree, Lichard has the ability to spam Mana Burn on any opposing player that, well, uses mana.

 As you can see this composition is more viable than most would think. You rarely see this composition and if you play a Paladin, Priest, or Shaman I would insist that you attempt it.  This composition has Cons as all do, but this one has a greater deal of Pros than Cons. One of the most major Cons would probably be the simple fact that this group does not have the same amount of burst as some comps do.  If this group can survive the burst of other teams then there is a 90% chance that they will win. Please keep in mind though, if you are decent at what you do you can make almost any composition work.

 If you liked this post please rate and leave any comments that concern you related to this composition or leave a comment stating the composition you would like me to write about, perhaps next time I will dissect deeper into a requested composition. Thank You for reading this article.

Hey guys,

We all know that gold is a vital component of WoW and is needed for pretty much every aspect of the game. From leveling your character’s skillset and professions to buying mounts, gear and consumables. Every WoW player is always looking for more gold. Unfortunately farming for gold tends to be unbearingly boring and time consuming. Furthermore a lot of WoW players only have a limited time they can dedicate to playing and would like to spend that time doing the fun things in the game like raiding and pvping. For this reason a lot of players opt to buy gold online.

Now please don’t get me wrong here. I am not saying that players should go out and buy gold online as there are risks involved such as getting your account permanently banned if you are caught by Blizzard and also the chance of being scammed by dodgy gold sellers. All I am saying is that the option is out there for players who have limited time to play to remain competitive in the game through means such as gold buying. I myself have never bought gold before but I was interested to do some research on who the big players were in terms of gold sellers, who was most reliable and honest, and who was the best value for money.

Below I have gathered some figures on gold prices from 12 of the most popular gold seller sites I could find. Attached to these is a link user comments relating to that particular gold seller site.

Please note: These figures where gathered on 15th of February 2010 so there might be a slight change to gold prices if you look at them today due to market fluctuations. Figures are based on gold prices available to the Blackrock Horde US server and are in US dollars.

Based on my research and the user commentsI have read, I personally believe that the 3 gold sellers that stand out in regards to honesty, efficiency and security seem to be:

• Guy4Game, Susanexpress, Wowgoldpig.

They may not necessarily be the cheapest but I would prefer to pay a little extra knowing that I am getting professional service. If I ever do purchase gold online I will be using one of these sellers.

My research also leads me to believe that you should stay away from the following gold sellers as they are scammers or very unreliable.

• VgoldSeller, wowmine, dgamesky.

If you have any comments or like to share your experience with a gold seller please do so below.

Zuggy from ZugGaming.com asked me to review his Gold Mastery Guide, and kindly sent me a copy. Normally I don’t concern myself with guides but I thought that this was a good opportunity to have a look at one and actually see if they are worth the investment.

His Gold Mastery Guide contains gold making secrets that he has used throughout his years of WoW play. For those of you that are interested in checking out a free preview of his guide go to Zuggy’s site here. His preview guide contains 5 videos to get you started in increasing your gold balance. The videos include a look at utilizing the auction house and your professions, where to grind and what daily quests to do, and power farming including 30 minute farming routes.

I must say that just by checking out these free video guides has taught me how to think about the game in a new way. In other words it broadened my narrow view of how I can make a lot of gold fast. To be honest I really didn’t have that many ideas in the first place, and thought that farming and doing dailies was how most people made their gold. But I hate farming with a passion and only resort to doing it when I am really low on gold. Before checking out Zuggy’s Gold Mastery Guide I had no set strategy in making gold. My gold collecting would pretty much consist of mining saronite and titanium in Sholazar Basin once in a while and accumilating honor points in bgs and Wintergrasp to then buy epic gems and sell them on the auction house. I guess this is the reason why I never really had much gold on any of my characters. But most of the time I could get by, and instead of being bored out of my brain farming I could focus on the things that I enjoyed in the game, like PvP.

The one thing I can say that Zuggy’s guide has taught me is that farming makes up a small amount of what you need to do to make tons of gold. What Zuggy really focuses on is how you can make your gold through your professions and the auction house. His teaching method is very simple and comprehensive. He breaks down his strategies into easily understandable sections and provides real life examples of scenarios to reinforce his strategies. He doesn’t just provide you with a list of items to farm or a few farming techniques that you may have not been aware of, but explains how players can take his strategies and adapt them to their specific server’s economy.

I have to admit I was quite surprised to find out how simple it actually is to make large amounts of gold. The funny thing is that most people don’t realize that there is no gimmick or secret method to making gold. Its about developing a plan and focusing on speed and efficiency when implementing that plan. Zuggy stresses that the key to making gold is maximizing your time. We all want to do all the cool stuff when we play WoW, not spend time farming. So maximizing the time you dedicate to making gold is the key.

By stepping through Zuggy’s guide over the last few days, I was able to develop my first gold making strategy that centered around my character’s professions (enchanting and mining) and utilizing the auction house. I found the auctioneer information particularly useful as I was not familiar with all the features of the addon or how to best use it. I also changed my perception of enchanting from being one of the worst money making professions to one of the best. Zuggy’s tips and resources allowed me to map out my farming route (which is between 30-40mins and makes me about 180-250g) for part of my daily strategy. Pretty much everything from where to go, what route to take when I get there, and things I can multitask while I’m there. I then conclude my daily strategy with what I have learned in exploiting the potential that enchanting combined with auction house strategies allows you to do. My next step is to now analyze my current daily strategy and see how I can make it more efficient by improving my speed and hence total gold per hour. I also plan on creating strategies for my other characters centered around their professions.

For those of you out there that are interested in simplifing your gold making process while at the same time minimizing your time farming and grinding, I hope I have provided you with an unbiased view of what Zuggy’s guide can offer you. This guide is definitely not your standard 50 page e-book that offers you some tips and quick strategies, it is a comprehensive piece of work with over 1Gig of video tutorials and numerous pdf guides. In my opinion the personalized support and continous updates makes this a worthwhile investment. Zuggy offers one on one support to all his gold guide members via email. So if you have any questions, concerns, or need clarification on something in his guide he is more than happy to help out.

The upcoming 3.3.2 patch is set to be released next week (February 2^nd at this stage). Blizzard has posted the patch notes for this mini-patch on the official Korean WoW site. The most noticable changes include some small fixes to make dungeons run smoother, some class buffs for druids, shamans and warlocks and a much needed nerf for prot warriors. We will also see the introduction of Toravon the Ice Watcher in the Vault of Archavon and the start of Season 8 (Arena). 

The translated patch notes can be seen below. Please note that some of the wording or accuracy may be slightly off. If you notice any mistakes, please post in comments with the correct wording. 

Yesterday I had the pleasure of interviewing Jhazy, an orc hunter of Blackrock. With a team and personal rating of over 3000 in 3v3 Arena, it is safe to say that he stands among the top PvP’ers in the world. Jhazy’s team STRAIGHT TO THE TOP is composed of a protection warrior, holy paladin and marksman hunter and is currently ranked #1 in the very competitive Bloodlust battlegroup. I would like to thank him for his time, and wish him and his team the best of luck for the rest of this season.

The interview went as follows:

WoWContender: Would it be ok if I asked you some questions regarding your character and Arena?

Jhazy: Ya you can ask some stuff if you want.

WoWContender: Awesome, much appreciated. Who is currently in your 3v3 Arena team?

Jhazy: Ellihs (holy paladin), Alloraan (protection warrior), and myself.

WoWContender: What hunter build do you suggest for Arena?

Jhazy: I think marksman is currently the best for all around Arena, and BM for beast cleave if you plan on playing that.

WoWContender: You use marksman (0/53/18) for Arena. Can you please explain briefly why u chose this build?

Jhazy: Right, I use marksman. I like 5/5 in survivalist for extra hp, hunters have always been able to just get blown up from something or another, and the extra hp provides that blanket for me to cover under when I get topped off.

WoWContender: What pet do you recommend for Arena and why?

Jhazy: I prefer a serpent for marks, it provides a serpent cover debuff, as well as it’s -25% casting speed debuff while up.

WoWContender: Can you describe your playing style in Arena?

Jhazy: I adapt to the team comp we’re playing against. If I need to sit max range for my healer to not get cc’d with shocks and push in hard I’ll do that. If I need to sit back because I’ll get killed in matter of seconds, I’ll shoot all the same damage from behind pillars popping in and out during mid globals to prevent hard casts.

WoWContender: Are you a keybinder or a clicker?

Jhazy: I keybind. I think I have about 48 keybinds. I only click potions and non pvp utilities. Potions in pve anyway, I bind potions to pvp when I use them.

WoWContender: Can you list the major mods that you use for Arena?

Jhazy: I use Spellcaster, but I turn that on and off now and then. I am using it to train my visual perspective of finding which spells to look for and when they usually occur. Gladius I use as well. But I can play with or without it, makes no difference, just makes the frames bigger. I use CT Unitframes, in the same basic setup that blizz has it, so it looks standard, just in other positions cause I don’t know the macros to move them. And OmniCC just to see numbers on my buttons instead of small timers, that’s about it.

WoWContender: What do you consider as your perfect 3v3 team setup?

Jhazy: There really isn’t a perfect one. I’d have to say Holy paladin, prot warrior, marks hunter last season (Season 7). But this season it could be anything, we still plan to push to the top once more.

WoWContender: What is the easiest setup or most enjoyable for your team to face? And what would be the hardiest to counter at the moment?

Jhazy: We prefer facing beast cleave the most, and the hardest is probably resto shaman, frost mage and destroy lock on Ring of Valor.

WoWContender: In terms of Arena gear what stats do you concentrate on the most? And what is the minimum needed to start doing Arena in your opinion?

Jhazy: I balance out my ap and crit with agility usually. I think you should start by getting full furious gear with the triumph badges at least and go from there.

WoWContender: So you prefer gemming agility over ap?

Jhazy: Right. I’d gem ap if you go beast mastery, but not if you’re marks or survival.

WoWContender: What amount of resilience should players aim for these days?

Jhazy: I currently use 802, I think anything above 800 for hunters makes them not very squishy.

WoWContender: Do you recommend using a mixture of pve and pvp gear or straight pvp for Arena?

Jhazy: Usually a small mixture of both. I use 5 pieces of pve including my death’s choice trinket.

WoWContender: Do you have a class that you really struggle against or are you pretty comfortable with them all?

Jhazy: I feel pretty safe vs them all.

WoWContender: Do you have any tips for players just starting out in Arena?

Jhazy: Improve yourself the most you can before you blame others.

WoWContender: Thankyou very much for your time Jhazy.

Jhazy: Sure. No problem.

Jhazy also did an interview with WoW.com recently. You can check it out here.

Key bindings allow you to bind or designate your character’s abilities to particular keyboard (or mouse) keys. By default World of Warcraft (WoW) binds a number of keys for you already, such as M for map and L for Quest Log. You are able to add to or even replace current key bindings through the key bindings option within your game menu. By simply adding your abilities to your action bars you can search for a particular action bar slot in the key bindings list and assign any key to it that you want. Make sure that you check the “Character Specific Key Bindings” checkbox at the top of your key bindings screen to ensure you only set up hot keys for that character.

Clicker’s vs Key binder’s

If you are new to WoW it is more than likely that you are a clicker and rely solely on your mouse to perform your characters abilities. I myself was a clicker when I first started out because I thought memorizing a bunch of keys required too much effort and why bother if I could just as easily do everything using my mouse. It took me over a year to give key bindings a go and realize the benefits they provide.

The transition from pure clicker to a keybinder can be difficult and quite frustrating. So I would suggest to only start off by binding 1-5 of your most essential abilities. These abilities should be given the “sweet spots” or the most accessible keys, so that they can be hit very quickly regardless of what else you may be doing at the time (i.e. strafing). Then it is a matter of practicing in order to truly memorize your bindings. You may initially need to look at your keys on occasion and yes, it might feel a bit awkward and frustrating, but you will become more comfortable and better over time and you can start adding more keys to your setup.

Gaming peripherals

I personally believe that the equipment you use can make a big difference in the success you have as a gamer. Gaming peripherals are making it easier than ever to take your gaming to the next level. For example a gaming mouse is a very convenient way to add additional key bindings as most come with at least 2-3 extra buttons. Similarly gaming keyboards are designed to provide a more accessible arrangement of keys. For those of you curious I’m currently using a WolfClaw Type II Gaming Keyboard and a Logitech G3 Laser Mouse. Please see my current key binding setup for my Combat specced rogue below.

From the image you can see that my starting base are the w, a, s, d movement keys and I have setup my ability key bindings around that. This setup takes care of about 95% of my abilities, and makes sure that I am prepared for any situation that may arise. This setup works for me, it may not work for you, but I firmly believe that once you have practiced your set of hot keys and you become comfortable with them, you’ll be a much more effective player.

No perfect system

Please note that there is no perfect key binding setup that all the pro player’s use. You have to arrange your bindings to suit your play style and ability with the keyboard. For example, a player with long fingers may have a setup different to a player with short fingers due to the larger number of keys they have easy access to. In fact you may have to try out a few different setups to figure out what works best for you.

Built for speed

If you want to be a competitive gamer you will have to use key bindings, period. Reaction time is everything, especially in PvP. A properly constructed set of key bindings will result in quicker more responsive usage of your abilities and hence improvements in performance in most aspects of the game. You don’t want to have to think about your next move and strain to find it on your action bar. And you definitely don’t want to change your focus to your action bar to choose a spell or ability when you should be focusing on what you are doing.

The fewer abilities you have to click the better. Remember, your hand on the mouse, no matter how fast and precise, will never be able to outmatch your memorization of the keyboard. With key bindings you only have to worry about choosing your next ability, then it’s simply a matter of the second nature finger-to-keyboard reactions kicking in to do the rest.

The best PvP’ers out there play based purely on memorization, reaction, and knowing their character. It’s through this memorization that they are able to make decisions faster and execute them.

For a great resource on key bindings and hot keys visit Zuggy’s Hot Keys Guide. Zuggy provides some useful information about building bindings for speed on a normal keyboard layout. Definitely worth a look!
